    Perfect summer cruiser, top down, radio turned up, kickin out the Jams and catchin a tan. Brings back memories of being a kid, my Mom loved convertibles and kept the top down all summer long. She had one just like this back in the day. R.I.P. Mom...😔

    Those early to mid 70s were the last of the great style Impalas and Caprices in my opinion . A ragtop is a bonus !

    When I was a kid, my Dad had a car similar to this one! Many summer vacations, I practically grew up in the back seat!! The back seat was my couch, no seatbelts on, it wasn't a mandatory law back then. The good ole days, Gas .65¢ a gallon!

  • @jameswetz3396
    @jameswetz3396 2 года назад +2

    Nick
    That hesitation is likely remedied with a filter replacement located where the fuel line connects into the carburetor. My friends and family all owned similar Chevys from 68 through 77 and they all clogged up eventually, causing the engine to bog down when you stepped on the throttle. Your mechanic is probably very familiar with that.
