Details
This uniquely customized 1964 Chevy Impala SS coupe is dressed in a deep shade of black over black vinyl interior. The cars long lines stand out under this color and it accentuates the chrome grille and light bezels. The SS badging calls out another unique feature of this Impala making it a rare addition to any collection.
The car is powered by a replacement GM 350ci V8 with mild modifications such as an Edelbrock carburetor. Power is delivered to the rear wheels via a transplanted 700R4 automatic transmission that makes highway speeds more comfortable. Other features include a center console and power steering. Previous owners of the vehicle had the car repainted in its current shade.
This Impala has been modified with an air suspension featuring two pumps and four-way switches and gauges mounted in the glove box. It sits on custom 18 and 20 US Mag wheels that cover disc-brakes on all four wheels. Modern amenities in the cabin include aftermarket A/C and a Boss touchscreen head unit and media center.
The current owner performed service that included a new brake booster and lines, axle shafts, and a starter.
This Impala SS is a Premium listing being sold by Geghard Ohanian with the Heritage Gruppe in Pasadena, California.
About the model
The 3rd Gen Impala continued on with the 1963 and 1964 models. The 1963 Impala got even more angular with chiseled fenders and body lines. While the 1964 Impala continued to use the X frame, the body and grill became less radical with more mature sculpted body lines. Hardtops, convertibles, sedans, and station wagons were all steady sales. While base models could be had with a 6-cylinder or a 283 V8, performance models could be had with the 348, or the now popular 409. One of the more notable variants offered in 1963, was RPO Z11 which provided a stroked 409 to 427ci V8 intended for competitive use. The following year the Fourth Generation Chevrolet Impala was introduced in 1965.
