Description of 1963 Chevrolet Impala Impala

1963 Chevrolet Impala Convertible

I have owned this car since 1989 and drove itduring the summers only for9 years. In 1998 I swapedthe original230 6 cylinder engine for a 327 from a 1969 Chevy. The 327 was installed butthe job wasn't completed. It hasn't been driven in about 17 years and will need a complete restoration. Since I've owned the car it has alwaysbeen stored indoors.

The body is rusty and will need work. The car was painted in the 1980's and has some chips and flaking.The front floor pans have been patched and the rear floors are original andfairly solid. The rocker panels are rusty and will need to be replaced. Before I bought the car the outer rocker panels werereplaced but not the inner panels. The front fenders look like they have some filler on the bottoms. The right fender has a smalldent on thefront edge and can be seen inthe pictures. The doors look solidwithsome minor rust and few bubbles in the paint. The lowerright sidequarter panel was replaced with patch panels and the left side has body filler on it. Theframe is solid and looks good. The trunkfloor is solid but there are small holes where the trunk floor meets left wheel well and below the left side tail lights. The trunk lid has few dents from people sitting on it and a smallrust hole on the underside.The front edge of the hood is rusted through. All of the glass is good but passenger front fell out of the frame and is in thetrunk. All of the moldings and trim are there are look good.The convertible top frame is in very good condition. The lift cylinders, ydraulic pump and lines were replaced and work perfectly. The top material will need to be replaced. The car comes with 3 additional original hub caps and 4 SS hub caps, extra headlight bezels anda new molding for the right front fender.

The engine is a 327 and itdoes start with gas poured into the carburetor. The engine was installed but the accelerator linkage wasn't connected along with the power steering pump. The power steering pump comes with the car. The transmission is a 2 speed powerglide and was completely rebuilt less than a 1000 miles ago. Thereisno battery,brakesand exhaust. The fuel tank hasold gas in it and will need to cleaned and sealed. The fan shroud, riginal valve covers, ew front shock absorbers and throttle linkage come with the car. New rear shocks were installed in 1997.

The interior is complete and the carpet was new when I bought the car. The carpet is still in good condition but will need to be cleaned. The glove box door and hinge are included and are in the trunk. The car also comes with the new set of chrome arm rests, xtra instrument panel and the original AM radio.

It wouldn't take much to get the car back on the road as is or it could be restored to its original condition.
