1964 was widely seen as the dawning of a new era in culture, civil rights, health awareness, and even food. Muscle Cars were born by way of the Mustang’s Introduction. The Beetles stepped foot on US Soil. Martin Luther King Jr. wins a Nobel Peace Prize backed with the signing of the Civil Rights Act. The world gets its first diet soda and Pop Tarts take the grocery stores by storm. It was a new time in so many ways, change was coming, and opinions were changing, but the one thing that didn’t waver in the minds of Americans was their love for the Chevrolet’s full-size Impala. While the landscape of automobile production was on the cusp of an overhaul, Chevrolet enjoyed a vast uptick in Impala sales. The final year of the X-frame vehicle would prove to be successful with nearly 900,000 units sold during the production year. The love of the Impala was on full display, and that fire for the Impala has never been extinguished to this day. The epitome of cool, from Tupac to Snoop Dog, Ice T to mainstream Hollywood Movies, the 1964 Impala has always been “The Car.” This 1964 Impala SS Hardtop is a superior example of why the nameplate is so very adored and has appeared in countless movies, music videos, and celebrity garages. This Red beauty is shrouded in newer paint and presents extremely well. The rubber meets the road by way of 215/70R/15 BF Goodrich Touring A/T’s mounted on the original Chrome Rally Wheels and all exterior ornamentation is in lofty condition. This true SS is sharp on the outside and equally complemented on the inside. The thick foam front bucket and rear seats have new factory covers matching the well cared for black vinyl interior. The black interior is attractively offset by an exterior matching red deep twist carpet. Additional features of this car’s interior include, an aftermarket Am/Fm/CD radio, Alpine rear mounted speakers, and an aftermarket Sun Tachometer that has been precisely fitted into the original panel on the steering column. The powerplant is the ever famous 300 HP / 327 V8 with a 4 Barrel Carter AFB Carburetor. If you like your original parts, the original air cleaner and Carburetor will be included with the car at the time of sale. The engine shows 44,683 non-actual miles and is linked to the customary 4-speed Muncie manual transmission. The car also boasts dual exhaust and a fully rebuilt front end. From front to back this Impala is in wonderful condition and robed in decades of glory. While most of us will never be included in the leading cast on the Silver Screen, or sing well enough to be featured in a music video, this car is your chance to feel like you are on any given Sunday Afternoon.
