Vehicle Description
Coming off a successful year in 1963, Chevrolet continued its
popular Impala model for the 1964 year with minor adjustments to
the design and even some of the mechanicals. With a smoother finish
overall, Chevy shaved off the pointy edges of the models before and
added a more curved grille. The rear showed as a different car as
well with its new "U" shape design surrounding the tail lights
which went the full length of the back. All transmissions were
refined as well adding a quieter 3-speed syncro-mesh automatic
option and also adding an aluminum housing on the 4-speed option.
The 1964 model year was a big one for the muscle car genre and that
became very evident after the release of the Chevelle that same
year.
GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this example of the 1964
Chevrolet Impala SS Convertible for your consideration. With most
of these performance minded models being built into coupes, the
convertibles were not the choice often picked when they were first
built but have since become a rare collector car due to that very
fact. As we walk through the trim tag we see that this Impala SS
was built first week of June in Tarrytown NY. With the trim tag
code 1467 it shows that it is a SS convertible, finished in ember
red with paint code 922. Code 815 shows that it came with black
bucket seats. According to the owner, the engine is believed to be
a 327 and has a block number of 3892657. The engine has been
professionally prepared and has a few upgrades consisting of an
Edelbrock intake, chrome valve covers and air cleaner, 4x2
carburetor set up consisting of Weber carbs, Hedman headers, MSD
blaster 2 coil, MSD distributor, MSD wires, Edelbrock fuel pump, Be
Cool aluminum radiator, polished aluminum alternator. The engine
runs great and has plenty of power. It is paired with a 4 speed
manual transmission. The black leather interior consisting of
bucket seats presents well. There are a few aftermarket gauges
consisting of RPM, oil pressure, engine temperature and voltage.
The SS impala has a center console. Also included are a spare tire,
jack and wheel skirts. The chrome and trim are new. The car rides
on its original rims with the SS hubcaps.
