Buddy Holly's 58 Impala.

This is old news and may have been posted before but I thought it was interesting being BH fan.

Video of Buddy's Impala as it was found in a Texas Junk Yard:

It's apparently been restored since this was taken and makes the rounds of Car Shows.

Does anyone have any pictures of it they took themselves? I'd love to see it up close.

Strange that the car sat in the junk yard (or somewhere) for many years and yet seems largely intact. A busted engine or transmission could be easily swapped out for little money way back then. Perhaps the car was driven for years without a clear title and whoever had it just parked it when they didn't want to drive it anymore.

Very cool! I love old cars with a famous history.
