Vehicle Description
A 1964 Chevrolet Impala hardtop with extra V8 power,
four-on-the-floor, and just the right subtle upgrades - oh yes,
this is the classic you promised yourself a long time ago, and now
it's ready at an obtainable price.
The '64 Impala is a legend for being long, premium, and quite
sporty, and this one really represents all that nicely. It starts
with the way the body panels still retain their crisp edges. You
see it in the sheetmetal crease that starts ahead of the headlight
continues down the whole profile like an unbroken line until it
melts into the surround for the iconic three taillight arrangement.
And the brightwork is well done on the wraparound chrome bumpers,
wide grille, and full-length C-channel stripe. But more than just
get the classic elements right, this one really knows how to look
great in the details. For example, not only does the yellow paint
have a nice gloss and shine, but as you look closer, you'll notice
the ghost flames that have a pearlescent glow (a nice hint at
upgraded power.) Plus, those 15-inch American Racing Torq Thrust
wheels do a fantastic job of highlighting the more aggressive
stance.
Inside, the black looks great against the yellow, and this interior
looks quite complete, right down to the premium button-top
presentation. This coordinates well with the door panels,
carpeting, and dash to create a terrific cruising atmosphere. In
fact, this has the kind of features that will make you want to
always be out for a drive. The power windows allow you to show off
the sporty hardtop profile without ever leaving the driver's seat.
And the AM/FM/CD stereo in the glovebox has iPod and Bluetooth
connections, so you can listen to the most modern music players in
this very vintage ride. While you have the classic dash and
steering wheel, there's also a newer tach prominently mounted on
the steering column. It goes particularly well with the Hurst
shifter.
Under the hood is a year-correct 283 cubic-inch V8. It will be nice
to speculate about the originality of the block, but this one was
also upgraded for show and go. It has extra flair with the bright
valve covers, air topper, and alternator. But more importantly on a
cruiser like this, the small block has been upgraded for extra
power with an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock intake,
and Hooker headers that feed a rumbling Flowmaster dual exhaust.
And you have complete control over this enhanced V8 and its thunder
thanks to the four-speed manual transmission. Plus, as you look at
the undercarriage photos, you'll see this has been treated to the
right maintenance over the years. Add in great driving features
like power steering, front disc brakes, and an aluminum radiator
(it keeps you cool while even idling in traffic) and this is an
all-around great driving classic.
Complete with build receipts, this is the iconic coupe that has
been upgraded for the ideal classic car experience. That's why you
don't want to miss this deal. Call today!!!
