Description
Lot #41 - This American Legend drives and looks as a new one would from the factory in 1963. As evidenced by the factory reproduction window sticker, this is a highly optioned Impala SS sport coupe which features the extremely rare and awesome 425 horsepower 4 speed, dual quad, positraction 409 with 4:11 rear and power steering. It also has a very rare 409 option of tilt steering. This SS coupe has the smaller rear window and ribbed roof to mimic a convertible top. Freshly restored and correct 1963 Impala body, frame, drivetrain and interior over a ten year period due to the perfectionist nature of the owner. All chrome/stainless replated or expertly polished. Body fit and finish are of the highest quality as is all else as demonstrated by over $80,000 in receipts available upon request. Complete correct restoration done using only original/exact reproduction/NOS parts except for the Stainless steel gas tank, Shocks, Wiring harnesses, HEI system and Seat belts. All parts replaced are also available to come with the car upon request. This Impala has only 600 restored miles. The 409/425hp engine, positraction rear and transmission have been professionally rebuilt to the highest standards. Since there is no "paperwork" I cannot prove or disprove authenticity in that manner. This car does have the numbers matching and correct engine codes and stamps as well as vin tag and stamps. The history of the restoration including some photographs and all paperwork, including a West coast title, back to 1985 and all manuals are available upon request.
