1964 Chevrolet Impala - High Powered

HIgh PoweredOwner: "Negro"

Vehicle: '64 Chevrolet Impala

City/State: Los Angeles, California

Club: SouthSide C.C.

Engine/Drivetrain: The balanced and blueprinted 383-c.i.d. engine features an anodized purple dual carb setup with K&N filters and Street & Performance pulleys. Keeping the car in the right gear is a blueprinted 400R tranny.

Body/Paint: John and the crew at Bowtie Connection in Artesia, California, got the bodywork in order before deep purple (eggplant) paint went down as a base and then the top received patterns shot by Frank to highlight the 42-inch moonroof that was installed. Negro's club logo was airbrushed on the trunk.

Interior: Black ostrich skin was used on the seats and highlighted throughout the interior and trunk with patterned cloth inserts.

Sound System: A set of Crossfire amps in the trunk denote a system of some importance.

Setup: The crew at Homies Hydraulics in Paramount, California, put their creative minds together with a one-of-a-kind two-pump, three-dump, four-switch hydraulic setup meticulously installed in the trunk. This setup was also the first to sport these one-off custom engraved square tanks which required a larger than normal block of aluminum. The frame and suspension received some heavy modifications as well, mostly to be able to take a pounding.

Tires: P185/80-R13 Remington radials

Wheels: 13x7 wires
