The 1963 Impala didn’t bring too many substantial changes compared to its predecessors, and the engine lineup was largely the same, too. Most people went for the 283ci (4.6-liter) and the 327ci (5.4-liter) V8 options.
The Impala you’re looking at here was also born as a 327 model but eventually got gifted with a new mysterious engine we know very little about. But first things first.
This is a 1963 Impala SS sold as a project car and in need of a total restoration; eBay seller tkolak19 says this is a solid candidate mostly because it comes with several hard-to-find original parts. For example, the car still hides the factory 4-speed transmission, as well as the bucket seats and the console that Chevrolet installed 58 years ago when it built this Impala.
While the body looks in decent condition, we don’t know much about it, so there’s a chance a repaint has been done at some point throughout its lifetime.
The engine hiding under the hood is no longer the 327 originally installed by Chevrolet, and this can be good news or bad news. Right now, it’s just a mysterious change that only the owner can clarify, as the eBay listing includes very little information about this new unit.
However, we’re told the only way to go for this Impala is a full restoration, so the new owner would have to deal not only with the missing parts but also with plenty of rust under the car.
Despite these mysterious tidbits, this 1963 Impala SS still caught the attention of quite a lot of netizens, with no fewer than 20 bids already submitted as part of the online auction we told you about. The highest bid at the time of writing is $2,050, and you can also check out the car in person in South Carolina.
