1963 Chevrolet Impala SS

1963 Chevrolet Impala SS

This 63 Impala SS is one very classy, West Coast style restomod. This Impala has all straight rust-free steel panels, beautiful chrome, Chip Foose wheels and low-profile tires. It also has an award-winning interior which is nearly perfect.

ExteriorIt's easy to be ice-grillin on this fly resto-mod 63 Bowtie SS. Bathed in Adobe Beige with Crystal Pearl paint, it's a must see color and all chrome and trim are show quality. Grille, bumper with extra bar with little dagmars, front quarter trimmings, solid spears, rocker stainless and even around the gas filler lid there's beautiful chrome. Gaps are near perfect and certainly no rust is seen. Window trimmings are framing new glass. Dual antennae add to the ultra-cool ambiance and as with all Impalas the triple ice cream cone shaped taillights are within a beautifully polished piece of aluminum trim which extends across the entire rear pod this car just below the trunkline. 18-inch polished Foose wheels are wrapped by low profile 235/50R18's on all 4 corners.

InteriorAward winning from the swing of the doors, where you'll find years of saddle leather stitched into rectangles and sporting a chromed button at the corners. Shiny cranks and the leather covered armrest are here too and on the armrest's end is the paddle actuator. Inside more yards of saddle leather covering wide low back buckets up format and a big long bench in the back. These chairs all use tuck and roll inserts, more horizontal stitched panels for the upper backs complete with buttons. A custom-made center console races through the buckets, and is leather covered with buttons on the armrest and sides. The remainder is white paneled inserts which houses a Hurst shifter, stainless steel cup holder, 2 aftermarket gauges and a crossed flag badge. This rises to the original dash where a curved two-tier design has the speedo and some other gauges and warning lights within the top floor, and on the shelf, painted in bronze is an original tachometer in the center of the billet style steering wheel rally style all the way. The ignition knobs and pulls are all shiny and within a horizontal swirl pattern aluminum strip. Clean saddle carpeting floods the floors, and a beautiful square pattern two tone headliner floats above. A shout out to the trunk which is also carpeted to perfection and has leather stitched buttoned panels on the sides.

DrivetrainUnder the hood is a 350ci V8 engine, (circa 1977), and it shines like a crazy diamond with all its chrome add ons. This is originally a 327ci car and that original engine goes with the sale of this car. It has a single 4-barrel carburetor, and a 4-speed manual transmission on back. Shiny valve coverings, yellow spark wires and all else chromed, while it maintains its perfectly painted GM orange/red block and uses ribbed stainless tubes throughout. Even the fan guard has been chromed. Also, within the structure of the hood some mirrors have been added so the engine can primp itself before being shown. Freakin sweet for sure for this engine eye candy.

UndercarriageIndependent coil springs for the front and a 4 link with coil springs for the rear and power disc front and power drum rear braking all looking like new right down to the FlowMaster exhaust.

Drive-AbilityOne of the few cars when you get in and not only IS it definitely cool, but it makes the driver look that way as well!! Magical. As was the operation of this car with great acceleration, smooth bias free panic stopping, and good handling.

A real looker taking advantage of that early 60's styling along with a more modern twist. It has Best interior from Motorama for the last 5 years, Top Driver and Interior @ East Coast Nationals, and the Reading Super Chevy where it owns First place. An awesome build.
