Part of the third-generation Impala, the 1964 model didn’t introduce too many big changes. However, it still sported additional refinements compared to its predecessors, including a more rounded look that further polished the original boxy styling first introduced in 1961.
That is what made the 1964 Impala quite a legend in the hip-hop and lowrider worlds, eventually becoming a flashy ride for several artists. The example that we have here is one of those that can only dream about those times, as it comes in a rather rough condition after spending way too many years sitting.

According to eBay seller ererkk0, who is now trying to find a new owner for the car, the Impala was parked for over 30 years in a garage but then spent some time under the clear sky as well, so the way it looks isn’t necessarily surprising. The car was last driven in 1989, the seller says, and that is why the odometer shows just 64,000 miles (103,000 km).

The VIN indicates the car was born with a V8 under the hood, but the owner says the engine that should now put the wheels in motion is a 1969 327, which no longer works after all these years in the same place. And given the current 327 is locked up, the seller offers a correct 283 and a 2-speed Powerglide transmission, both in working condition, as part of the deal.

The car is a roller, and the brakes work just fine, but of course, you wouldn’t be able to drive it home should you decide to buy the Impala.

This 1964 Chevrolet isn’t listed for auction but comes with a fixed price, so be ready to spend $6,500 if you want to take it home. The good news is the seller has also activated the Make Offer button, so in theory, you could get it a little bit cheaper depending on your negotiation skills.
