The 1964 Impala wasn’t substantially different from its predecessor, all for a very simple reason: Chevrolet was already working on a completely redesigned model for 1965, so sticking with smaller refinements was the best way to go.
But that doesn’t necessarily mean the 1964 Impala still didn’t get plenty of attention, as the car was rather successful and contributed to an impressive record achieved a year later. The 1965 series became the first car in the United States to sell more than 1 million units in just one year, and obviously, all the previous models paved the way for this historic milestone.
In terms of engines, the 1964 Impala also came with nearly the same lineup as the 1963 version, so the base model was a 230ci (3.8-liter) Turbo Thrift developing 140 horsepower. It was the cheapest configuration, but at the same time, it was also the most economical and obviously the laziest.
When it comes to V8s, the base version was the 283 (4.6-liter) Turbo-Fire, which offered a power output of 195 horsepower. Two 327 (5.4-liter) options with 250 and 300 horsepower were also offered (and eventually became the most popular engine choice in the entire lineup), and so were three 409 (6.7-liter) configurations with 340, 400, and 425 horsepower.
The Impala that we have here not only comes with a matching-numbers 327 under the hood, but it also sports everything in immaculate condition after a full restoration received a decade ago. The Ember Red paint is flawless, and so is everything else, both inside and outside.
Seller 95ave on says in the eBay listing that the car was sold at Barrett Jackson in 2014 before it was moved to Canada, where it remained in storage until recently. The Impala has been driven for only 200 miles (321 km) in the last few years, bringing the mileage close to 77,000 miles (124,000 km).
As you can see for yourselves in the gallery here, this Impala SS has everything in mint condition, and even the original radio is there and still working.
And of course, such an iconic model in mint condition can’t come cheap, though this Impala isn’t necessarily as expensive as you’d expect it to be either. The seller wants to get $39,500 for it, but other offers will be considered too.
