64 Chevy Impala Lowrider

I used my upcoming wedding in 2017 as an excuse to buy this. I’d been keeping an eye on US Ebay for some time and this car came up for sale in Canada.

It's a fake lowrider, in that it looks as awesome as a real one, but it's on air, not hydraulics.

It’s a fake lowrider, in that it looks as awesome as a real one, but it’s on air, not hydraulics. I’ve owned two proper hydraulic lowriders and the novelty does wear off as it’s such a vicious movement the rattle themselves to death and become quite unreliable. This is on air ride, so you get the looks but with better comfort and reliability.

When it arrived in the UK the small block v8 was just there to provide thick blue smoke, so we fitted a 454 big block along with a Holley Sniper EFI and custom exhaust.

Along with that I fitted a load of Ridetech suspension parts to the car to stop the horrific body role which completely transformed the car.
