74 impala 4 door vs 76 Buick Electra 4 door

[JG350]

There is no way a Buick is harder in the front than a Chevy a Buick will start rolling in the horns in those big holes b4 a Chevy will even think about rollin

Ttt. More opinions

How aboutt a brief descriprions of your rules. Its hard to answer this question without all the variables like motor and bumper swaps, chain/full weld, etc.

[bigwhite999]

Bumper swaps ok. Can only weld bumpers to shocks to frame.

Run the buick with chevy bumpers and front clip. Tuck trunk crease/beat in rear qaurters, dimple and the ass end should be real tough and the front decent.

What are peoples thoughts on this now days? Im stuck between a 76 olds 98 and a 76 impala. olds is rusty in c pillar but we can patch. Impala has some pin holes on the floor boards but trunk is clean. Just need help deciding on which car to take to a limited weld show.

If it was me I'd take the front clip and front bumper off the chevy and put on the olds 98.

Do you have both cars currently? I would take either to limited weld. I wouldn't hack up both cars to make one tho...

[STROMI 121]

As hard as cars are to find, Id run either of them or both if I could.

[Heavy Mettle]

Seeing this was started June, 19 2013, I'll venture to say both of these cars cease to exist..... GRANTED, after a short retirement, I do still have most of the cars I had in 2013

[cortese22]

No still have both cars and others. Just trying to get opinions on which cars are the favorite. The cleanliness of big money show cars has been the big kicker. I have a rusty wagon I would take to any show around home but not to a big show.

[smashincwa]

The 74-76 limiteds/park ave and olds 98 are 2x better in the back than an impala. Toss up on the front.

[Heavy Mettle]

Personally, I think '74-'76 Chevys are a great all around car. They especially shine in bolt and chain or stock rules mainly because you'll be hard pressed (not impossibly) to find a better car in stock form... Having that said, '74-'76 Electras and Limiteds are my favorite sedans.

That buick will not have plastic inner fenders, that would be the olds cars. They will be metal. It will have a 455/400 in it, so it should have a 12 bolt as well. There is a good chance it will also be a tow package car. The front ends on a buick are just as hard as a chevy even with a '74 chevy bumper on it. The big body buicks & olds have pretty good front ends, I wouldn't be afraid to take one nose to nose with a chevy and I've ran enough big body cars & a few chevy's, I'd take the big body anyday.

If you've ran enough of these "big body" cars you would know a 76 wouldnt have tow package............

Around here, all buicks have tow packages...

[demoboy333]

76 buick with olds front bumper. Keeps the buick from bending in front of a arms before it does at the firewall in stock class.
