This 1963 Chevrolet Impala SS convertible is finished in black over a red interior and is powered by a 409ci V8 paired with a four-speed manual transmission. Equipment includes two four-barrel carburetors, a power-operated black soft top, 14″ steel wheels with full covers, power steering and brakes, bucket seating, a center console, a column-mounted tachometer, and an AM/FM/cassette radio. The car reportedly underwent a body-off refurbishment between 2016 and 2018 and was acquired by the selling dealer in August 2022. This Impala SS convertible is offered with an owner’s manual and New York registration.
The body was reportedly removed from the frame before it was repainted in black as part of a refurbishment completed under prior ownership between 2016 and 2018. Features include a power-operated black soft top with a red boot cover, quad headlamps, SS Impala and 409 badging, a dual exit exhaust system, and chrome trim on the bumpers, side molding, grille, and window surrounds.
Steel 14″ wheels wear full SS covers and 215/75 Coker Classic whitewall tires. The car is equipped with power steering, and braking is handled by power-assisted four-wheel drum brakes. A full-size spare wheel and tire are stored in the trunk.
The front bucket and rear bench seats have been reupholstered in red and are complemented by a color-coordinated dashboard, door panels, and carpets. Additional equipment includes polished dashboard and center console trim, a floor-mounted shifter with a white shift knob, a locking glovebox, door panel armrests, and an AM/FM/cassette stereo.
The two-spoke steering wheel fronts a horizontal 120-mph speedometer, a column-mounted 7k-rpm tachometer, an analog clock, and auxiliary gauges. The five-digit odometer shows 7k miles, approximately 100 of which have been added by the selling dealer. Total mileage is unknown.
The 409ci V8 is equipped with a pair of Weber four-barrel carburetors along with a chrome-finished air cleaner cover and valve covers. The oil was changed in September 2022. Images showing a partial engine stamp are provided in the gallery.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission.
