The 1974 Impala showed few changes from the 1973 car. The base engine remained a 350-ci V8 rated at 250 horsepower, while the more powerful options were a 400- and a 454-ci V8. The car remained on the heavier side.
Today, these cars are popular for conversion to "low riders," as well as for reconditioning. The large engine is pretty easy to get to, and parts are readily available for virtually any project.
What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 1974 Chevrolet Impala really appreciate its value as an affordable classic car that looks great and offers a comfortable ride. Many enjoy how it handles on the road, making it a suitable choice for long trips. On the downside, some note rust issues and the need for maintenance over time."
I think these are the best bang for the buck antique car you can find these days. You can get them cheap and sell them for thousands more. For a big car, they hold the road pretty well and can't be beat for a long trip. You can beef up the suspension pretty nicely on top of that to make them handle like a BMW, well..almost. They last forever, aside from rust issues. If you can find one with high miles that you actually want to drive the wheels off of, they are very easy and inexpensive to maintain. Insurance is cheap too. They turn heads ...everyone gives you the thumbs up and waves.
