Welcome MoreDoor lover’s, collectors, enthusiasts…and the generally interested. This week’s feature belongs to Ray P. from Willoughby, Ohio. His MoreDoor is “Pimpala”: a 1963 Chevrolet Impala with Grabber blue exterior and aqua interior. Its motor is a Crate 350 with a mild cam, Edelbrock Intake, Holley 650 carb driving a Powerglide transmission and Posi rearend. Wheels and tires? 1970 Camaro Z28 rims, and BF Goodrich TA tires. Pimpala took 1st place in Mild Hard Top category at the Summit Racing IX Piston Power Autorama in Cleveland this past March 2016. We certainly can see why!
What’s super cool about Pimpala? It has been featured on Discovery Channel’s show “Fat and Furious” season 2, Great American Camaro episode! The jist is his ‘64 Impala was rotted so they outsourced the ‘63 Impala for the tv show. How awesome is that? Pimpala is our first celebrity MoreDoor Classic feature car.

 | Why a MoreDoor? Our man Ray here is a family man with kids. There’s nothing like having the whole family out enjoying car scene together and a MoreDoor is really the only way to do that. Future plans besides driving it as much as possible? A full repaint, again, a Turbo 350 trans, and maybe a little nitrous oxide for that extra kick in the pants. Great ride Ray. Keep up the good work! |
