SO YOU BOUGHT AN IMPALA
Wow, if you were actually able to get your hands on a 1967 4 door hard top, congrats! They are becoming few and far between, and thus, very expensive! Although Chevy made over 500,000 series 64 cars, there is little to no information on how many were 4 door hard tops in 1967. Think of it this way - if 120,000 Impala-type bodies were built in 1967 - this includes Caprices, Biscaynes, etc., less than half were 4 door. Less than these were actual Impala. Less than that were hard tops. How many of the Metallicar were actually produced? How many are still out there? The world may never know. Since so many were scrapped when metal prices were high, there's no telling how many are actually left.
SUPERNATURAL IMPALA PARTS
If you are rebuilding a 67 Impala and you don't know Rick Blevins, then you should. He is the premier expert on the Metallicar, and he answers questions for people all over the world on this topic through his Facebook page, "Everything Supernatural". Every day he gets dozens of emails and messages wanting to know what parts are used on the Impala, so he's created a parts list. The list below is a combination of Rick's and mine and other owners, too. Its a great place to start! Even if its an eBay auction item that is ended, use the part numbers to find it someplace else.
Also, if you are looking for trim, odd parts, specialty items, etc. its a great idea to save a search on eBay that will notify you when such a part comes up for sale. Also be sure to check out the Facebook pages I've listed, as parts are often for sale on those sites as well. Remember, this is a project that takes time and patience. And oh, yeah, money. But the fun is often in the hunt! Finding that piece you've searched for is a great reward.
VERSIONS OF THE METALLICAR
Did you know there are different 'versions' of the Metallicar that appeared throughout the years on Supernatural?
Although there are several Impalas used on set, and each are unique in their own way, there are basically two types of builds for a replica/tribute: the "Kansas" car, and the "Ohio" car. The "Kansas" car was seen in the early seasons of Supernatural, with Kansas tags and spotlights. The "Ohio" car came later, without the spotlights and had Ohio tags. (more info on this coming soon!)
