A "Sister Donk" might be a fun ride

The low-rider crowd calls the 1971-76 Chevy Impala "Donks". There's even a magazine devoted soley to these cars. Because of that, prices on these land yahcts are rising steadily. Whether your a lowrider enthusiast or not, if you want a full-size GM car of this vintage, a good alternative are the BOP versions. #1. 1971-76 Pontiac. I'm surprised that the Chevys are more prized than these, for 2 reasons-one-be it a Catalina, Bonneville, or Grand Ville- 400 cubes were standard all years, and a fair number had 455s. By contrast about 99% of Impalas of this vintage have small-block motivation, and 454 versions bring a King's Ransom. Secondly-the Pontiacs usually had upgraded interiors and lots of factory options-a/c, power windows, locks, cruise control, tilt, etc. The Chevys are more likely to be "strippy" or "taxicab" types. # 2. 1971-76 Oldsmobile. Whether it's an 88 or a 98, the Olds version is in my opinion a better deal than a Chevy, for the same reason as the Pontiacs. Nearly all of these cars have 455 cubes under the hood, and are loaded. And like the Pontiacs, there is a ton of speed equipment available-Edelbrock heads, cams, etc. # 3. 1971-76 Buick-LeSabre or Centurion, or Electra-almost all have 455 cubes under the long hoods, and like their Pontiac and Olds cousins, any suspension or brake upgrades that fit the Chevy will fit these. Might be a good way to save some money if your looking for some full-size muscle. Mastermind
