I Need This 1961 Impala Wagon!! - $1,000,000 Challenge

[@christophergolding4823]

Man that Sugar bear front end is worth more then he payed for the bike! Minus the nostalgia 🤘 those are the only cool trikes I would ride if it was the end of time and a trike was my only option 😂

[@lutomson3496]

same ol trope march everyone out when something shows up so much posing and those rear window deflectors were to keep dust off the rear window as we all lived on dirt roads..better keep them

[@Thadude701]

I thought the deflectors we're to keep the wind out ,guess I was wrong .

[@ssuperstar8989]

I remember seeing those trikes in the 70's. They were so radical back then, so cutting edge. Today they don't seem like much, but what a great memory from the past.

Old American station wagons are getting pretty hot now. That "Trike" is part of Americana and the VW engine sounds good. All Chevy "Nomad" wagons are special and worth saving.

[@crisnmaryfam7344]

7:20 I would expect his guys to know a bit more about these.... as I mentioned above. We have customers in line to get these built custom to their specs... One form GASMONKEY would fetch i would guess, at least DOUBLE what we charge. He paid 3100, We charge about 5000... He could probably get an easy 10-15k when hes done depending how much he puts into it. thats like 7-12 grand profit, before you pay anyone.

[@ffrydriver]

The wagon is awesome! and the right colors too! I have a 63 Biscayne wagon that's almost the same color. There are few of those trikes running around NE Florida they're pretty cool especially if unable to ride a bike anymore.

[@blackwaterdogs4256]

Never saw a 4-door Nomad before. The Tri-Five versions were all 2-doors. Always liked the `61 body style, this thing needs a 409 to make it legit !

[@BradleyBellwether-oy2qi]

I think even with the rusty tailgate, that wagon was worth $9k at the time of sale. So $6,500 left some pretty good meat on the bone. If that guy drops $5k on a slighty used small block, transmission, new brake & fuel lines, and some new interior. I think it's worth $15k all day long. Or better yet, quick flip it for $9k, and let someone else worry about how far they want to go with the resto!

[@carl5536]

If I had that Chevy I'd paint the roof back white and clear the rest but try to match the blue under the front bumper and other places. Leave the hubcaps and tires, drop a decent engine and trans and all new brakes and drive it daily cause it looks so good showing it's age but I'd have to touch the blue up and paint the roof back white and roll around in the car and leave the suspension the way it came from the factory cause where I live, riding low doesn't make sense the way the roads are...

A real know-it-all at the auto parts store I worked at 20 some odd years ago told me that there's no such thing as a 1969 Nomad wagon and I told him that I owned one. And he said I'll bet you $100 and I said okay you're on and I went home for lunch and got my original dealership brochures and literature and brought them back and showed him and he didn't want to pay me but after about 3 hours I made him. Chevrolet made Chevelle Nomad station wagons from 1968 through 72. Probably the easiest hundred dollar bill I ever made.
