Vehicle Description
Ever since they were first introduced in the late '50s, Impalas
have been as strongly associated with car culture as asphalt. You'd
be hard pressed to find a more fitting example of this fabled
boulevard aristocracy than in this 1964 Chevrolet Impala SS.
Brought to optimum form through a two-year restoration process
where no corners were cut and no details overlooked, it's looking
great and stands ready to help its next owner create chapters of
new memories.
Generously proportioned and yet carrying no excess, this '64 is one
very clean looking cruiser. Patient prepping and great
craftsmanship have resulted in a deep shine glowing from its
Ferrari red exterior and its head turning quotient is undeniable.
The paint is as smooth and even as you could hope for and is ably
complemented by a full assembly of clean looking ornamentation. A
very thorough and meticulous restoration has left this Chevy with
outstanding body alignment and clean chrome that runs from front to
back, where you'll find its set of signature pair of triple
taillights bracketed by an exceedingly cool engine-turned aluminum
panel above - exclusive to upgraded "SS" models like this one - and
a very straight bumper below. Even the badging looks more vibrant
than you normally see.
Inside the doors you'll find an impressive black vinyl interior
that's been brought back to stellar condition while retaining its
stock configuration. From the pair of wide-backed bucket seats up
front to the bench seat in back, to the door panels and quarter
trim they're flanked by, everything looks great. Textured,
engine-turned accents matching those sported by the taillight panel
outside are on display here as well on the dash area and center
console - it's a killer look that might well have been a precursor
to the carbon fiber accents we see today. Just above, the
instrument cluster looks nearly new and the factory tachometer
situated just in front of it is a great feature. There are a of
couple of well-selected add-ons to accompany the otherwise stock
look you'll find here and they include a Pioneer AM/FM/CD player
that also carries USB and auxiliary ports, and an aftermarket
Vintage Air climate control system that's been seamlessly installed
to keep everyone comfortable through a quartet of very well-placed
registers. The spacious trunk area in back is as clean as you could
want. Lined with gray carpeting, it's got a finished look but still
exposes enough steel to let you know everything is straight and
solid back here.
Raise the hood and you'll find a 409 cubic inch V8 sitting front
and center in the very clean engine bay which replaced the original
327 V8 during the restoration. Carrying an Edelbrock 4-barrel carb
and intake on top, the big block is in fine form and running
smoothly and good for a full 340 horsepower when it was tested.
It's paired with TH350 3-speed automatic transmission that shifts
with confidence-inspiring smoothness to make for a very street
ready drivetrain. Up front, a well-proportioned aluminum radiator
is accompanied by dual electric fans to keep things cool in more
demanding driving conditions. This outstanding Chevy classic sits
on a set of 15" Corvette rally wheels with spinner caps, outfitted
with Daytona SR radials. For those more intent on a proper stock
appearance, a set of SS wheels and hubcaps are included.
Whether you're looking to make a big statement on the local car
show circuit or on the boulevard, this outstanding 1964 Chevrolet
Impala SS has what you're looking for. Call today!
