Vehicle Description
Sunnyside Chevrolet of Elyria, Ohio in conjunction with Greg's
Sports, Classic, & Muscle is proud to offer for sale this beautiful
1963 Impala 409 4-speed Sport Coupe!!
She's real fine my 409- sorry couldn't help myself. I'm not real
sure where to start with this beauty- She's a real Silver Blue Poly
code 912 Sport Coupe for starters- could be the absolute best color
for this car. Now let's throw in a 409 that we have dressed to
perfection that motivates this Impala down the road quite nicely.
Did we mention it's a 4-speed?
We were offered this car a number of months ago out of a long-term
family ownership. Like a lot of these long-term cars this one had
fallen into a storage situation while life went on around it. When
we pulled her from the garage we went to work. John and I realized
the bones were good- very solid but somewhat neglected we went to
work to turn this into what we think is a very desirable car.
First, we did some minor paint touch ups down the sides from the
typical garage bruises. Then came the fun stuff. Got the truck
block 409 running strong, went through the brakes and made sure
that the car was going to perform as we expected and we got her
going down the road nicely.
Next came what can we improve? We added Vintage air-conditioning
and power steering to make it a little more civilized. Disc brakes
were already present. We had to go with a correct 409 Chrome air
cleaner and correct 409 chrome valve covers. The Muncie 4 speed was
already a nice performing unit so no changes there. What could look
better on a 63 Impala then a nice new set of Torque Thrusts in
chrome shod with a set of great looking redline radials? Dual
exhausts help this Impala breath properly and give it that just
right look from the back. Some select new trim items and emblems
and we are closing in on what you see here today.
We'd call the paint quality very nice- certainly good enough for
your local cruise ins and shows. The interior is very nice in black
with buckets and a console and a nice compliment of gauges over the
console housing that very desirable 4 speed. Most of the stainless
is original and nice. The bumpers are original an might be the one
area of the car the next owner may consider upgrading. That's going
to be a personal choice.
Anybody out there want a post car? NOPE. Anybody out there want a
green car? NOPE. Anybody out there want an automatic? NOPE. Anybody
out there want a Grandpa Impala? NOPE.
If you have been looking for a very nice, very desirable 63 sport
coupe in a great color with a big engine and a 4-speed with air
then you may have just found your perfect cruiser.
Drive it, show it, keep it in a bubble and polish it as a prized
possession, the choice is yours once you make it yours.
We stand behind our thoughts on this car by offering our travel
expenses guarantee- come see the car and if we have materially
misrepresented its condition we will gladly pay half of your travel
expenses up to $500.00- this offer had been in place since we sold

ourselves on having good cars and representing them properly.
