What do I think? I think I just wet myself a little. Nice work!
Separate note: Just saw this online. Its been restored already. Enjoy it if you have haggling skills. Compared to some "other" cars online for more. Just sayin.

1967 Impala 4DR Supernatural Replica

"Black 4dr hardtop--exact replica of the 67 Supernatural car, right down to the two-tone interior. Restomodded with modern AC, a 383 stroker, and overdrive transmission. The engine and tranny are fairly new, with only 2000 miles (83K total on chassis--original small 283 removed). These are incredibly rare cars even without a Supernatural restoration--finding one done to look like Dean's car can cost into the $30 to 40K range. I'm letting this one go at a loss due to hardship.

Pros:
Ready to be a lookalike driver today.
Good gas mileage
AC cold
Disc brakes (in shop right now having modern kit put in)
Bumper guards (these can run several hundred dollars if you try to find them)
Shoulder belts in rear seat
Dual flowmaster exhaust

Cons:
Paint bubble on hood (see pic)
Small scratches/dings
Cragar wheels from TV show have rusted a bit (as polished steel wheels always do)
One spark plug fouls after about 6 months of driving--may need valve seal (or just change plug 2X year)

I'm asking $18,000 OBO."

This is an old message from Rick. Hope he doesn't mind if I reshare it:

"Hello to everyone, I have been getting a lot of emails regaurding the Supernatural Impala so I figured I better do an update. The front tires are P215/70R15 (BF Goodrich) on a 15x7 wheel. The rear tires are P275/60R15 (BF Goodrich) on 15x8 whhels. Hope this helps everyone out. Rick"

AND:

"The CORRECT rear tire size on the ORIGINAL Supernatural Impala is P275/60R15 BF Goodrich"

Another fan had these:

"sure i will help okay the rear tires is 235/60R15 96H and the front tires is 225/60R15 96H and the tire brand is BF Goodrichs and rims are Cragar 330 Series Super Sport."

Unfortunately, all those items are 67 specific though you do have some options.

- The hood and front fenders are the same for the 67 Impala, Bel-Air, Biscayne, Caprice, and any body style; 2 door, 4 door, hardtop, coupe, wagon, convertible. So you do have some options.

- The trunk lid is almost the same, however one from a 2 door hardtop (sometimes referred to as a fastback) will not fit.

All the above must be purchased used. They are not reproduced. eBay, Craigslist and local salvage/wrecking yards are you best bet.



- For the dogleg quarter patches. You can't buy the full quarter panels, only patches for behind the rear wheel well. They are available on the aftermarket.

You can get them here: Left side. Right side. No idea how well they fit.

This is the area the replace ...

How much are cornering lights and the 4 bumper guards to purchase?

Also, found this....thoughts?

Impala, 283, leaky trans rear fenders need patching at the bottom (replacements linked a few posts up)...trunk needs to be replaced, floors probably too. Driver fender may need patch.(but brace is good)...

$2500 w/out NOS bumper guards and nearly restored cornering lights....$3500 with them all.
