I imagine this may be long gone. The ad is over a month old... from the looks of the snow in this area which is probably gone by first of March, it is probably older than that (at least the pics where). Anyway, a '74 Impala, 36k actual miles only $450.00. It is wrecked, but still the engine alone should be worth double that? Tons of parts it looks like, as well as an excellent interior. What a shame... I wonder if the car could be saved? Anyway here it is... http://asheville.craigslist.org/cto/4911254800.html "74 impala everything is factory great shape big 350 motor #the flaw is the front end is damaged car turns on no problem great for parts to put together an project ! Side note I have 3other impalas I can use these awesome parts on so by that being said I don't really care to sell it motor it self is still worth $600 36000 miles pretty much brand new!" 828 407 6557
Looks like the frame is kinked, for starters. Second, you would not want to use any seatbelts that were in use when that happened. Third I would be leery of the front seat. That is a lot of force that the seat and it's mounts absorbed. Bet something is bent or weakened. It is too bad, but fixing this is going to be a whole lot of work.
Nothing overly special about a '74 350. It should have large open chamber heads, low-ish compression ratio, and a cast iron intake. Block is likely a 2 bolt main.
I could use the plastic door panels for my 71 Catalina Enforcer!!!!!! Look to be the correct style & color, to bad its so far away.
Yeah Mike, nobody's going to be rebuilding this one...... You will find a HUGE kink in the left frame rail between the left front control arm area and the cowl. The left rail will also be bent upwards. The entire front section of the frame is swayed to the left, including the right rail. Major frame damage.
