No car deserves the fate of the Impala we have here, and yet, this is how a classic automotive icon worth a small fortune eventually becomes a genuine rust bucket selling for pocket money.
That’s likely what’s going to happen with this 1963 Impala convertible, as the car looks like it’s been saved after many rough years only to be then parked close to a forest (or surrounded by lots of vegetation anyway) - all in the hope someone would eventually give it a second chance.
Unfortunately, eBay seller marin1102 doesn’t provide too many specifics about the car, so we’ll have to stick with what the eyes can see in the photos included in the ad.
The only thing we’re being told is that it’s a matching-numbers and complete project, though this is something the seller would have to inspect in person before anything else.
Other than that, it’s pretty clear this Impala is quite a wreck, and this is the reason it’s likely to end up selling for less than $1,000. The highest bid at the time of writing is $560, so depending on where you live, you could end up paying more on bringing the car back home rather than on the Impala itself.
The rust has clearly taken its toll on this Impala, and if you were hoping to at least get a working engine, that doesn’t seem to be the case either.
As expected, the engine that once powered this Impala is a mysterious unit we know nothing about, though it's worth reminding that most of the 1963 models came with 283 (4.6-liter) and 327 (5.4-liter) V8s.
If you’re one of the few thinking this Impala is worth a second chance, you can send your bid in the auction linked above. The car is parked in Northford, Connecticut, if you’d like to inspect the car in person before spending your beer money on it.
