Impala was the engine pushing Chevy's sales through the roof in the early '60s, and the introduction of the Super Sport package in 1961 fueled the customer appetite for the new nameplate.
The SS was originally available for just $53.80 and included minor sporty upgrades before eventually becoming a head-turning machine a few years later.
The 1963 Impala SS that someone posted on eBay earlier this week promises an intriguing package that checks all the boxes for a restoration candidate. The seller says the vehicle is ready for restoration, though the listing leaves many questions without an answer.
Probably the most important tidbit is whether the car is complete. The images suggest the Impala SS has been sitting in someone's yard, waiting for a second chance. It's impossible to tell if it exhibits significant damage, but you should thoroughly inspect the undersides, as the floors and the trunk pan typically become rust invasion victims.
The car looks solid in the few images posted online by eBay seller northfloridamaintenance7, but the only way to accurately determine its condition is a visual inspection in person.
We're not getting any details about the interior, and the images don't reveal the cabin. The owner says all extras are still in place, and you'll also get a new trunk pan to help with the restoration. It's a suggestion the rust made its way to the trunk, so inspect every inch of metal thoroughly to figure out how much work it needs.
The engine supposed to propel this Chevrolet Impala SS is a 327 V8. The 327 was one of the top choices on the 1963 Impala and a proper option for the Super Sport, though it's unclear if this is the original unit that came with the car. The seller also forgot to mention if the engine starts and runs, but I believe it at least turns over by hand, as otherwise, they would have probably mentioned the challenging shape.
Overall, an Impala SS rapidly catches everybody's attention, but the only way to tell if this four-door project is worth a complete restoration is to travel to Jacksonville, Florida, to see it in person. It's also unclear if the vehicle rolls freely, so you'll have to ask the seller if you can easily get it on a trailer.
The bidding for this otherwise mysterious Impala begins at $1, and three people joined the fight to take it home. The top offer at the time of writing is $2.25, but the seller has also enabled a reserve, so the WWW must do significantly better to unlock it. The Buy It Now option can be unlocked by submitting a $10,000 offer, at which point you become the car's new owner.
