1979 Chevrolet Impala Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
The 1979 Impala showed few changes since the major restyling of 1977. The grille again featured the most obvious change: gone were the horizontal bars, replaced with a ladder-like pattern. The Chevrolet insignia was back in the front and center of the grille.
The base engine remained a 250-ci I6 rated at 115 horsepower, while the optional engines were the 305-ci V8 rated at 130 horsepower and the 350-ci V8 rated at 170 horsepower.

Big, comfortable, reliable.
As it came from the factory, riding in one is like going down the road relaxing on your favorite cushy old sofa. It's big with lots of room to stretch out on the long rides. The suspension is setup so that you hardly feel the bumps in the road. The steering is so easy, you can turn the wheel with your pinkie finger.
They're quiet too. Not just on the outside, but inside also. You hardly hear any road noise as you drive them.
That's all nice but I'm a performance guy, and BOY can you make these cars perform!
Because they share a lot of parts with GM's F-bodies it's easy and inexpensive to upgrade to much better handling and braking. I'm not saying that the stock handling or braking is poor, In fact it is quite good for a touring vehicle, just that it CAN be made into a decent canyon carver fairly easily.
Believe it or not, even though it's bigger it's around 200 pounds lighter than a 2nd generation Camaro!
1977 all the way to 1996? are basically the same under the body, meaning parts interchange from newer models like the Impala SS's from the 90's is easy. (thanks GM) Plus there's all kinds of aftermarket performance parts for them.
Either way you go, stock or performance, you can't beat the reliability of these cars.Sep 26, 2007

I have a nice 79 body on a rusted up frame that has damage and a beat up 84 Chevy impala with a perfect no rust chaise. I was hoping to put both together to make one good classic

Starting car sitting 3 years
Have a 79 Impala sitting about 3 years. Sta-bil fuel stabilizer was added to the tank a year or so before that. Would the car be ok to start or would the tank still need to be drained?
