Roberto gave us some nice history on the car, so here is what he wrote us:
My car "Strictly 4 Pleasure," is a 1964 Chevy Impala. I got it as a present for my birthday when I was 14 I am now 17 and over the years, hard work has paid off. I got involved in the lowrider movement when I moved to the west side of San Antonio, Texas "S.A. Town" were this is an everday thang, but enough about me lets get to the point. When I got it, it was a stock impala with hubcaps and a crappy paint job, but being that the chicks love the "lowlows" me and family members quickly worked on it in our spare time. I had it painted a Midnight Black, then awhile after I had all the chrome parts on the exterior rechromed. Since Black and Red are my favorite colors and a neighborhood favorite also, I had the interiot done up in red and black crushed velvet. Soon after, I had to get the hydro's. My setup consists of two Red's Pro Series pumps, four Delta dumps, 8-inch (front and 10-inch(rear) cylinders, 2-ton springs four Trojan batteries, and six solenoids for a combined total of 10 switches. The engine is a 1982 350-c.i.d v8 "got to have power with a car like this" and I roll on 14x7 Daytons with P175/75-R14 Cooper which I forgot to say was the first thing I got for this car, because it will at least look good with a tight pair of rims. Future modifications will be to flake the paint add a couple of murals upgrade my setup to at least 18 swithces so it can become a pro hopper, and totally chroming the undercarriage, and add some gold platting along with some tripple gold rims. Maybe i'll suicide the doors too, if I get enough money too, or if God permits me. Looks like Roberto and his family did a awesome job! Keep it clean! Questions or comments, e-mail Roberto's '64.
