I had a 70 impala loved that car. Sadly had a car pull out of a side street hitting my right front fender pushing me into on coming traffic for a head on colission. The steel of the car saved my life and if I was wearing a seatbelt I probably wouldn’t have been hurt so badly. Just a 350 with the 2 speed tyranny I got for $700.00
Funny that Impalas show up a lot on car posts and don’t get me wrong, I love them..but once and a while I’d like to see an old mid 60’s Plymouth or Dodge mentioned..put a 4 barrel on a 383 with the old torque flight transmission in a Polaris, and it would give most Impalas all they could handle…drop in a cross ram 413…it would swallow them whole….
No because it’s a heavy car and they did not consider power-to-weight ratio and the Impala has half ton truck suspension not car suspension is just too heavy
There were muscle cars during prohibition which is how we got NASCAR. But what truly says muscle car to me is GTO. I used to race a 72 at Corona raceway back in the day with very few mods,and it still blew the doors off most my competition
There have been many great Impala SS cars. I like the 63 thru 67 years the best . But GM let this icon die like most other great cars they had . Vettes and Camaros are better than ever but now not affordable for most guys .
I was in the military friend of mine had a 70 Impala with a 300 horse 350 in it hard head with set of headers who’s running 14 second quarter miles and 96 miles an hour I was pretty impressive for big boat

Not an Impala but my 77 Chevelle ran 12.20’s and it weighed about 4k with me in it , I had a 454 with about 560hp . You can make a boat fly lol !
Now put a big block in this little baby it we’ll see what happens
Oh sorry to answer your question Chevy Impala is too heavy to be a muscle car
They weren’t all 4 door Grandma cars back then
