Our friends in Detroit were producing “muscle cars” long before someone coined the phrase. They were larger and heavier than their later mid-size counterparts, but had amazing powertrains. One of these was the 1963 Impala '409'. An Impala 2-door hardtop was striking from any angle - certainly one of Chevrolet's best looking full-size models and with the 409W motor it would really run.This '63 Impala underwent a restoration process around 2010's and looks astonishing even today. Work consisted in replacing the original 409ci engine with a similar one to maintain the classic air of the car. The transmission was also replaced. Torque is delivered by a 4-speed manual transmission w/Muncie shifter to a factory differential.As can be seen in the pictures, the exterior is pin-straight. The Tuxedo Black paint (original color - code 900) and chrome are virtually flawless. A fully restored interior is an invitation to go back in time. The upholstery is stunning and the dash is fitted with a Stewart Warner tachometer and aftermarket gauge package. One other very unusual 'add-on' feature is a fully-functional RCA record player to spin your 45s.Steel wheels are dressed with 'dog dish' hubcaps and mount 14” bias-ply tires. The chassis is equipped with power steering and 4-wheel drum brakes. Overall, this Impala '409' appears very much as delivered 1963, only nicer.
