Vehicle Description
This 1964 Chevrolet Impala SS Convertible is a real deal Super
Sport that produces plenty of power from its 409 V8. 1964 marked
the first very time that the Impala SS was considered its own
sub-series (as opposed to an option package) for the iconic
Chevrolet model. The Super Sport also sat atop the Chevy hierarchy
with the car being the sportiest Chevrolet passenger car with also
the plushest interiors. The SS featured interiors complete with
leather grained vinyl, front bucket seats, a center console with
console-mounted shifter, and distinctive SS trim throughout. From
the outside, there was no mistaking an Impala Super Sport since
they were trimmed with special SS-only silver "swirl-pattern"
anodized inserts on the decklid, along with various Super Sport
specific trim on the quarters and decklid. The basic SS Impalas
were priced with the basic Inline 6 Cylinder engines however Chevy
offered an array of larger, more powerful V8s including the iconic
409 which was of course the title of the famous Beach Boys track
off their "Surfin' Safari" album. Interestingly, the '64 Impala
continued its prominence in pop culture well beyond the hot rod era
of the 60s and 70s with many famous rappers in the 90s and beyond,
including including Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre, rapping about "rollin'
in [their] 6-4s" in reference to the iconic lowriding 1964 Impalas.
Of all of the 1.5 million cars produced by Chevy in 1964, the
Impala Convertible was the rarest with only 81,897 produced with
even fewer being the SS Convertible. Powering this Impala SS
Convertible is a 409 Cubic Inch V8 engine paired with a single 4
barrel carburetor that pushed out 340 horsepower in its day. A 4
speed manual transmission backs up to that 409 V8 and makes this SS
Convertible an absolute blast to drive. This Impala SS is
absolutely loaded with options! With power steering, manuvering
this Chevy muscle car in and out of tight spaces at car shows or
your local drive-in is a breeze. Power brakes makes bringing this
'64 Impala to a complete stop much easier, especially with all that
muscle under the hood. The black vinyl power convertible top is in
excellent condition and goes up and down with the simple flick of a
switch. This Impala convertible is also equipped with factory air
conditioning so that you can stay cool even on the hottest summer
days. Riding on thin whitewall radial tires on Radir Tri Ribb
wheels, this Impala has a great look and even better ride. The
exterior has been beautifully refinished in Tuxedo Black, just how
this convertible came back in 1964. The interior on this Impala SS
is absolutely stunning! The front bucket seats and rear bench seat
have been correctly reupholstered in beautiful black vinyl. The
door panels, carpeting, dash, and steering wheel are in fantastic
condition and appear to be in their stock configuration. The
steering wheel is mounted on a tilt steering column so that you can
get in and out of this Impala with ease. The dash is outfitted with
a 120 MPH speedometer, 6,000 RPM tachometer, clock, and fuel gauge,
as well as indicator lights for oil pressure, temperature, and
generator function. The radio has been upgraded to a retro-style
AM/FM/Cassette entertainment system so that you can listen to all
of your tunes while cruising.
