Back in 1965, Chevrolet Impala managed to set a new sales record after shipping more than 1 million units in the United States, and needless to say, this important achievement wasn’t only the result of the redesign introduced by the fourth generation, but also the outcome of how the previous models impressed throughout the years.
The 1963 version, for example, is a testament to Impala’s remarkable growth, coming with several new styling improvements and upgrades that contributed to its skyrocketing consumer appeal.
And the living proof the ’63 Impala was quite a head turner is the rusty model we have here, and which is now being listed for sale by eBay user tillyfour.
If you’re interested in the general condition of the car, describing the Impala requires only a few words: barn find, rusty frame, engine running, car not driveable.
While we’re not being provided with too many specifics on the barn find part, the owner explains the Impala has been sitting in storage for about 10 years, all without moving a single inch.
But the good news is the original 283 2-barrel 283 engine developing 195 horsepower is still there, and it’s paired with the original 3-speed transmission too. The engine starts, but unfortunately, due to clutch and brake issues, the Impala isn’t driveable.
There’s obviously a large amount of rust on the car, and the frame needs to be replaced completely. And so does the gas tank, though the car runs smooth and quiet, according to the owner.
There’s more to discover on this Impala, and the photo gallery pretty much speaks for itself, but the bottom line is as simple as it could be: this is a restorable model that features original goodies you’re going to love.
As for the price of the Impala, the car is listed for auction on eBay, and the top bid at the time of writing is $2,049. It’s parked in Rockford, Illinois.
