For Sale: 1964 Chevrolet Impala in Lavergne, Tennessee

For the iconic Beach Boys to write a hit song about an engine, it had to be a special motor attached to a special kind of car. One look at this 1964 Chevrolet Impala SS 409, decked out in a beautiful Bright Red repaint and stretched over its two-door coupe configuration, showcasing its straight lines, shimmering chrome trim, and trick dual-triplet taillight arrangement, and it's easy to see why this car was so inspiring.

Inside, we find a mostly stock restored black vinyl interior. A split-bench front seat leaves plenty of room up front. At the same time, the old-school two-spoke, power-assisted steering wheel adds a splash of body-color red, sitting just ahead of a column-mounted 6,000 rpm tachometer and a horizontal 120 mph speedometer. A trio of auxiliary gauges sits under the dashboard, while the sliding HVAC controls and an AM/FM/Cassette radio sit against an SS-style machine-turned dashboard insert.

Under that expansive hood, we find out what all the fuss is about. Centered in a clean engine bay sits a 409 cubic-inch V-8. Part of Chevy's famous W-series big-block motor family, this 409 sports a set of chrome valve covers and an aluminum radiator. Topped with a four-barrel Holley Performance carburetor, Edelbrock intake manifold, and lightweight Edelbrock aluminum heads, spent gases are expelled via FlowMaster dual exhaust. That power is routed through a tried-and-true Muncie M20 four-speed manual transmission before heading out to the stock-style rear end, which transfers those ponies to the pavement through a set of beautiful, 15-inch Rallye wheels sporting knock-off-style center caps, shod in BFGoodrich tires.
