1964 Chevrolet Impala

INTRODUCTION: It is claimed that this car had only 5,200 actual miles at the time of its restoration! Although I cant document that claim, there are certainly indications that make it believable. Whatever the mileage, what we have here is an exceptionally clean car from top to bottom, inside and out. During the restoration, it received all the right upgrades to make it an excellent driver, including air conditioning and disc brakes, while still retaining the look and character of a classic Impala. Someone is going to get a fantastic car and the best part is, you dont have to spend $100,000 to get it. Not even close.

EXTERIOR: The body is extremely nice and believed to be all original, clean, rust free metal. The long panels are straight as an arrow, and I dont see any rust or damage. It was completely repainted in beautiful Daytona Blue. The fine metallic is laid out evenly, and the finish has been polished literally like a mirror. The chrome and trim present exceptionally well, including dual bow tie mirrors, a rear-mounted antenna, fuel door trim, beautiful vent window frames, and smooth, glossy stainless moldings around the windows. It still retains all of its original glass. Upgraded LED headlights and taillights add better visibility while keeping a clean appearance. It sits proud on 15-inch polished Torque Thrust wheels wrapped in Cooper Cobra tires.

INTERIOR: The interior is just as impressive. We were told it is largely original, and it has been exceptionally well preserved. The front seat was re-cushioned, the carpet appears to have been replaced, and everything shows in excellent condition. The upholstery, door panels, and even the headliner with its little embossed stars and matching visors all look great. It retains its original optional padded dash, and the entire instrument panel is clean and well cared for. Tasteful upgrades include a polished tilt steering column, retro stereo with kick-panel speakers and 6x9s in back, seat belts for five, and a removable armrest with cup holders. The wiring has also been replaced, and the interior lights are working.

ENGINE COMPARTMENT :It is rebuilt, detailed, and has everything you could want. The correct 283 engine has been performance built and features double hump heads, an aluminum intake, dual feed Holley carburetor with electric choke, and a set of coated headers. Its dressed up nicely with an aluminum air cleaner, valve covers, plug wire holders, and pulleys. A new heat and air conditioning system has been installed, along with a modern one wire alternator. It also features power steering and an upgraded power brake system with a dual reservoir master cylinder. An aluminum radiator with dual electric fans keeps it running cool. The engine bay is very thorough and complete- the horns are hooked up, the battery is properly secured, and even the windshield squirters are connected.

TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Under the trunk lid and the jamb are painted glossy Daytona Blue just like the exterior. Inside, the metal looks pristine and is finished in a very tidy spatter finish with the correct three piece mat. It also has a complete jack and spare assembly with an authentic Silvertown BFG tire. The weatherstrip has been replaced. Also included is a car cover and a factory power trunk release still in the box, ready to install if the next owner chooses.

UNDERSIDE: Im very impressed with the underside. It has the appearance of a body off frame restoration, and the original floors are remarkably pristine. They were cleaned and lightly dusted with fresh black paint, while areas of the original primer are still visible. The chassis is equally impressive and fully detailed. Up front, the steering and suspension were completely rebuilt, while in back it still retains its original spiral shocks. The fuel system was replaced, including the tank, and the brake system was completely gone through and upgraded with front disc brakes. The lines were replaced and the emergency brake is properly hooked up. A neatly installed dual exhaust follows the X-frame beautifully. Looking up at the engine, its spotless in Chevy Orange and retains the correct canister style oil filter, while the proper starter looks fresh. The Powerglide transmission looks fresh and functions like new, and out back are 3.36 gears- an ideal ratio for cruising. The exceptionally clean original floors and the surviving spiral shocks are both consistent with the low mileage being claimed.

SERVICE: We take pride in our cars and our reputation. Every vehicle goes through our service department where it is inspected, test driven, and we address the essentials before offering it for sale.

CONCLUSION: Anybody whos ever restored a car knows the benefits of starting with a clean car, and I wholeheartedly believe that was the case here. And now we have a show quality car thats ready to be driven. This one has strong integrity, someone is going to get a great car!
