The 1964 Impala was the last year of the third generation, and needless to say, it didn’t come with too many styling improvements, which kind of makes sense given Chevrolet was already working on a full new generation for 1965.
The 2-door Impala that we have here provides us with a thorough look at the 1964 model, and the Craigslist seller explains it’s the closest you can get to an original example as everything on the car comes exactly as Chevrolet released it 57 years ago.
But while the seller claims it’s an all-original model, worth knowing is the car has already received a bunch of fixes and improvements, including the front seats, which have been recovered at one point recently.
And yet, this doesn’t mean it’s already in mint condition. As you can tell from the photo gallery, this Impala has clearly seen better days, and the trunk, for example, needs new floor pans. But the good news is that rust doesn’t seem to be a major concern on this one, so if you’re planning a full restoration to factory specifications, this 1964 example is a solid candidate for such a project.
Under the hood there’s a matching numbers 283 engine, but very little information has been provided on this unit, so we don’t know if it’s starting and running properly. Judging by the pictures, however, it seems to be in a good shape, so there’s a chance you should be able to take the car for a spin if you want to purchase the Impala.
The odometer allegedly indicates 58,537 miles (94,206 kilometers), and they are said to be all original as well.
At first glance, the Impala comes with a rather ambitious price, as the owner expects to get $25,000 for it, but you can take a closer look at everything and see if it’s worth it by checking out the car live in Clanton, Alabama.
