63' Impala Ss

Vehicle Description
This is a one of a kind 1963 Chevrolet Impala SS. It truly is unique and sets itself apart from other Impalas. I have been in love with this car since the first day I laid my eyes on it about 8 years ago. The owner, a long time friend of mine, had bought the vehicle after it had gone through restoration and had kept it for about 10 years until he passed away. He absolutley loved this car, it was babied and stored in a garage most of its life and brought out for parades and car shows. It has won countless trophies and awards for its appearance and rear flame throwers built into the exhaust pipes. Thousands of dollars and years of time have been spent on it.

The interior is almost in mint condition. The exterior is Midnight blue with gold flake, which sparkles like a jewel. The mileage is unknown because the odometer hasn't worked in years. There are some very small scratches in the paint here and there, but they are almost unoticeable unless you look very close. The interior is basically the same as it was new in 1963, with the addition of a Tachometer and cd player. The car has a 4-speed manual transmission. As far as the engine is concerened I was told it is the original. I had the vehicle sent to a well know restorer to have vehicle fully inspected from the ground up. All cylinders firing with perfect compression, Clutch like new. The motor starts up even faster than my Japanese car and is very strong. The exhaust has a rich smooth baritone rumble. The engine is as tight as a ship no blue smoke or leaks, extremely solid in and out. As you can see by the pictures the car has a lot of details. From the flame throwers, to the spotligt mirrors, and down to the gold flake paint, it's definatley very unique.

I wish I could keep it but I am moving in the near future, and can't give it the love it deserves, nor is there anywhere for me to store it. It deserves a good home, and it needs to be driven, thats what it was built for. So whether it's car shows, or daily drives, you will definatley be sitting behind the wheel of an amazing car. There are a few 63's out there to choose from, and I have looked at hundreds throughout the years, this is by far one of the best. If there is any additional information I can provide you to assure you of the quality of this vehicle, your more than welcome to respond, and I will get back to you asap.
