Here's an iconic 1963 Chevrolet Impala coupe with its original 409 and a custom street machine attitude. So you have found everything you've been looking for, and the price is soooo right. An Impala with a 409 is such a legend that you instantly hear Beach Boys lyrics the moment someone tells you about the big V8 under the hood. This one even celebrates that legacy in the custom pin striping. But we love these coupes for... so much more. They represented fast with class as the '63 had a full-size look and a formal hardtop roof line. The upgraded brown metallic paint gives this coupe a terrific shine, which is exactly what you need on this Chevy. After all, the bright paint goes so well with all that bright work. Wraparound chrome bumpers, a full width grille, and quad headlights with individual bezels gave this coupe a 10,000-watt first impression. The Super Sport trim meant the hallmark triple taillight package was now placed within a machine turned panel that loves to glow in the daylight. They borrowed that same style for the full-length trim strip. Add in all the correct 409 badging and SS wheel covers, and this one perfectly mixes the right vintage elements with an upgraded attitude. Inside, bucket seats and a center console give you a terrific SS feeling. The dash, carpets, and upholstery are all in a shade of brown that looks quite fashionable in modern times. But this one still feels every bit 60s - right down to the button-top presentation on the seats and doors. You even have the correct accessory tissue tray. One piece that was not available in 1963, but is a welcomed addition today, is an AM/FM/cassette stereo. It's a knob-style unit that is built to look similar to the original radio, and it is an easy way to adapt for more modern music players. It's the perfect addition to this car, because there's nothing quite like rolling down all the windows and cruising a classic hardtop with your favorite tunes. Wherever you go, you're going to feel like showing off the legendary motor. That's why they made sure the engine bay looks terrific. Smooth fender walls finished in the exterior-matching brown funnel your attention to the bright block, shining valve covers, and matching air topper with 409 callout. So you'll already be filled with pride before you tell people this is the original numbers-matching motor. This one is even believed to be an actual mileage car - averaging less than 670 miles annually! It inhales deeply through a four-barrel carburetor, and it exhales with a rumbling authority from the glasspack-style dual exhaust. You even have a Powerglide automatic transmission that's perfect for both easy boulevard driving and a little quarter-mile fun. Add in power brakes and the modern grip of Hankook tires, and this coupe is a true cruiser. A great total package that's built around one of the most desirable V8s ever. This is the Impala we all want, and the first one here get it. So don't delay, call today!
