1963 CHEVROLET IMPALA

OVERVIEW

This 1963 Chevrolet Impala Super Sport hardtop sport coupe underwent a multi-year restoration process completed around 20005 and is powered by a numbers-matching Turbo Fire 409ci V8 paired with a four-speed close-ratio manual transmission and a Positraction rear end. It was originally delivered to Baldwin Auto Company in Baldwin, New York and comes equipped with dual four-barrel carburetors, power steering, tinted glass, and bumper guards. Finished in Ermine White over an Aqua vinyl interior, this third-generation Impala is now offered by the selling dealer with more than $80,000 in restoration receipts, an owner’s manual, a parts manual, a Muscle Machines magazine, a window sticker, and a clear title.
