Description
Lot #636.1 - Professional show quality, frame-off custom restoration with literally no expense spared, as evidenced by the $155,972.78 in build receipts that are included with the car. At first glance, this Impala looks mostly stock, but pour over the details and it becomes immediately apparent that it is not your average Six-Four. The laser-straight body is finished in mile-deep Tuxedo Black paint and features specially nickel plated brightwork to match the owner's custom Harley-Davidson motorcycle. Under the hood is a pro built 383 stroker with Dart Pro 1 aluminum heads, Crane roller rockers, polished Edelbrock Performer 600cfm carburetor and aluminum Edelbrock RPM Air Gap intake, custom stainless headers and high performance exhaust system, billet pulleys, BeCool aluminum radiator with electric fan and much more. The suspension is performance tuned and sits at a just right lowered stance with upgraded front coilover shocks, upgraded lower trailing arms with rear coil springs, Hotchkis sway bars and American Racing wheels wearing high performance tires. It also features power assisted Baer disc brakes with drilled/slotted rotors at all four corners. Inside, the cabin is done to look stock with the correct bucket seats, center console, factory tachometer, etc., but it is completely custom done in glove-soft leather including the door panels, dash pad and package tray instead of vinyl, and it features Mercedes-Benz carpeting, a modern audio system with iPod connectivity, genuine suede headliner and even the trunk is finished in the same carpet and suede to match the interior. Simply put, this '64 Impala ranks among the very finest examples available anywhere.
