This 1963 Chevrolet Impala SS convertible is powered by a replacement 409ci V8 mated to a four-speed manual transmission and is finished in black over black vinyl upholstery. Equipment includes two four-barrel carburetors, a power-operated white convertible top, 14″ steel wheels, power steering and brakes, a PerTronix Flame-Thrower ignition coil, aftermarket air conditioning, a center console, front bucket seats, power windows, and a Delco AM radio. This Impala SS was acquired by the selling dealer in March 2023 and is now offered in New Jersey with a convertible top boot and a clean Florida title.
The car is finished in black and features include a power-operated white soft top, quad headlamps, SS Impala and 409 badging, polished trim, an engine-turned aluminum tail panel, chrome bumpers, and a dual exhaust system. There are swirls in the paint and blemishes are shown in the gallery.
Steel 14″ wheels wear SS-style covers and are mounted with 205/75 Hankook Optimo H724 whitewall tires. A full-size spare is mounted in the trunk. The car is equipped with power steering, and braking is handled by power-assisted four-wheel drum brakes. The finish is chipped on the wheels.
The front bucket seats and rear bench are upholstered in black vinyl, and engine-turned trim is present on the dashboard and instrument cluster. Equipment includes a center console, aftermarket air conditioning, power windows, polished door sills, lap belts, vent windows, and a Delco AM radio.
The two-spoke steering wheel has a chrome horn ring and frames a column-mounted tachometer, a sweeping 120-mph speedometer, an analog clock, and a fuel level gauge. The five-digit odometer shows 19k miles. Total mileage is unknown.
The replacement 409ci V8 features a PerTronix Flame-Thrower ignition coil, dual four-barrel carburetors, and a chrome air cleaner assembly and valve covers. An oil change was performed in March 2023, and the air cleaner assembly was re-chromed in June 2023. Powertrain casting numbers are shown in the gallery.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. An aftermarket dual exhaust system has been installed.
