Vehicle Description
If you've been hoping for a chance to own a vintage '64 Impala SS,
but the skyrocketing values have discouraged you, the answer is
here. This nicely done SS hardtop brings you V8 power, a 4-speed,
an unusual and tasteful color combination, and, of course, those
classic looks that will never go out of style.
It's time to stop thinking of cars as investments and start
thinking about the fun you can have. For this price, you're still
getting a real code 14 '64 Chevy Impala SS sport coupe, restored to
a very good standard. Wearing subtle and elegant code 932 Saddle
Tan is always a good start, and when you have a super straight
southern car as your foundation, good things are bound to happen.
The pictures show how nice this car is, and there are no tricks
here: the gaps are even, the sheetmetal is straight, and the finish
has a wonderful shine that's just right on a '60s car. The correct
trim was straightened and buffed, and SS emblems were added on the
quarters, so it definitely has the right look. A clean, straight
grille up front and six taillights and an engine-turned panel out
back identify this as a top-of-the-line Impala, and the
irreplaceable side trim is in excellent condition.
If you bought an SS Impala in 1964, you got bucket seats, so that's
what's in this lovely hardtop. Finished with matching code 862
saddle upholstery, the pleats are correct and with fresh foam
underneath, it's comfortable and keeps the vinyl taut. Correct
carpets were fitted, along with door panels with proper SS emblems.
Engine-turning was the SS's calling card, so the dash and center
console were dressed up with the stuff, and there's a storage bin
center armrest with SS emblem, too. A beautiful steering wheel
frames the original instruments and a column-mounted tach, and the
radio is a neat AM/FM/cassette piece that fits in the original slot
and looks fairly convincing, but offers a lot more functionality.
The trunk is also extremely nice, showing no scary signs of rotten
metal or previous damage, proper spatter-finish paint, and mats
that fit well. There's also a full-sized spare up on its own shelf,
making this a car you can drive cross-country with three of your
closest friends.
The engine most folks opted for in their new Imps was the 283 cubic
inch V8. Topped by an Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetor and inhaling
through the original air cleaner, it runs superbly as you'd expect
from a small block Chevy. Bright Chevy Orange paint looks great in
the satin black engine bay, and it wears Chevrolet script valve
covers that were a hallmark of '60s Chevy under-hood dress-up.
Notable equipment includes a recent alternator and it exhales
through a great-sounding dual exhaust system with glasspack-style
mufflers for a period burble at the tailpipes. A 4-speed manual
gearbox makes this a full-sized car that likes to play and it
powers highway-friendly gears out back, so it's also a relaxed
cruiser. 14-inch steel wheels with factory wheel covers have been
retained, and wear appropriately-sized 225/70/14 radials.
So if you've been waiting, now is the time to make your move. These
cars are always going to be popular, which means prices will always
be going up. If you like to drive and enjoy your machines, perhaps
this SS has something special to offer you. Call today!
