Vehicle Description
Stk 2331 1963 Chevrolet Impala SS
Our friends in Detroit were producing "muscle cars" long before
someone coined the phrase. They were larger and heavier than their
mid-size counterparts, but had amazing powertrains. This 1963
Impala Super Sport 409 is a great example. One of Chevrolets best
looking full-size models, this fiery red hardtop is striking from
any angle. The owner has cared for this Super Sport for 35 years
and states that the mileage of 37,600 is actual. He performed a
total body-on-frame restoration in 1998. As can be seen in the
pictures, the exterior (with skirts) is pin-straight and solid. The
Emerald Red paint (original color) is virtually flawless as is all
the chrome. The fully restored interior is an invitation to go back
in time. Overall, this Impala looks very much like it did sitting
on the showroom floor in 1963. Horsepower is furnished by the
famous '409" cubic inch GM 'W-Series' engine rated at 435bhp. The
owner states that it is the original matching numbers motor that
was totally rebuilt by CH Enterprises in California. It has solid
lifters and a factory 2x4 intake with two Carter AFB carburetors
(rebuilt). The rear carb (believed to be a #3362) has idle
adjustments and a choke. Exhaust is routed through factory
manifolds. The 409W is backed by a 4-speed manual transmission with
new Muncie shifter, posi-traction differential and 3.36:1 gears.
Factory steel wheels (6"w) are hidden by original spinner wheel
covers and mount 225x75Rx14 radials. The chassis is equipped with
power steering and 4-wheel drum brakes. This Super Sport 409 truly
needs to be seen to be appreciated. ALL VEHICLES SOLD "AS IS".
