From the Camaro to the Chevelle and the Impala, Chevrolet had manufactured some of the most significant muscle cars of the 60s. While it is difficult to say which of these models is the most popular among car enthusiasts, it is not out of the question to say that the Impala was one of Chevy's most popular models.

The first Impala was rolled out in 1958, and it was used as Chevy's most expensive full-size model. It was used to compete against the full-size models being manufactured by both Ford and Plymouth. Chevy's new car became an overwhelming success, as it became the top-selling auto in the US.

The Impala was named after a specific antelope that could be found in Africa. This was Chevy's way of giving the impression that this model would be both fast and elegant, just like these antelopes. Oddly enough, today these cars are more known for being muscle cars, than anything else. I say this is odd, because these type of cars are usually thought of as mean and powerful, but an antelope is anything but these things.

So how successful were the sales of the Impala? These models sold in excess of 13 million units, in an eight year span from 58 to 66. These were record sales for that time, and in fact still hold true to this day. The 64 model was the most popular seller, coming in at just a shade over 1 million units sold. To this day no manufacturer has sold as many units of one specific model, as Chevy's did with the Impala in 1964.

Perhaps the greatest testament to this car, is the fact that it is still being sold today. While the car has changed significantly since it was first introduced almost 60 years ago, is still one of the most popular models on the market today.

Muscle Car Project Selection Part 1

In this two part series, we will be helping you figure out what vehicle in the Muscle Car genre you will like to have and taylor to your standards:

1. What will you be doing?

We always stress this since most of us have them and some are larger than others. For example, you have a wife and three kids, and everyone wants to participate.

I wouldn't recommend buying a Corvette or a Cobra.  The larger body Muscle Cars are perfect for families. Chevelles, GTO's, GTX's, etc. Camaros, Firebirds, Mustangs

are four seat cars, but I wouldn't go any distance with adults in a back seat of one of those. Although not considered "Muscle Cars", older impalas and belairs are very

cool, and have a tremendous comfort value.

2.  How far are we driving?

Are we doing the cruise nights? Do we go to shows and rallies out of state? Will this be a trailer queen?  Just a few things to consider when selecting your car.  I must admit,

theres nothing cooler than a blown big block  sticking out the hood of a 67 Camaro, but could you stare (and listen) to that thing for three hours on the highway?

This is where modern drivetrains are very popular. Ok, so you want to keep originality, but mix a bit of modern to make it more streetable. Sure no problem. Nothing

wrong with an overdrive transmission in your vehicle. Just keep the original trans in storage and replace it if you choose to sell to recoup all its originality. And best of all, in most

instances, you will not ever know that there was a different trans in the car the whole time.

3. Interior Comfort

A typical Muscle Car does not have many creature comforts like power accessories or air conditioning. And if you can deal with that, thats fine. Many companies sell aftermarket

systems for both. Does this hurt the value of the vehicle? For many, an immediate yes is in order. But for the real world,  most people who drive their cars would pay more for these

"creature comforts." People who collect want it the way it the way it came from the factory. Period!

4. Reliability

Do you have a problem (or the time) tuning your vehicle on a regular basis? As this is not the case for most, it is for many.  This is where consideration for an aftermarket fuel injection

system may be a smart investment for you, and in some cases, the installation is reversible without any indication it had been modified.  No pumping the pedal or flooding out

the vehicle when starting. This works better in colder climates where choking the engine on start up is necessary.
