Wipers need a new motor, nd of course the car has no A/C or Heat. This Impala sounds amazing with the Comp Cam and Pro Street exhaust, nd drives like a sports car with the New Global West Billet Front End. I have looked on what these cars are going for on Ebay and Craigslist, nd you could not buy or build one with this quality of parts for what my Reserve is. I took these Pics with my Computer, nd they do not do this car justice. Just look at my feedback and how long I have been on Ebay, nd that will tell you if I am describing the car well Absolutely fun car to drive, ust ready for the next project. Thanks for looking
