sorry for the sucky pics guys they really dont do this car justice. one of the straightest 63 super sports ive seen in a while. has a 383 stroker motor with a turbo 350 behind it. he gave 19k for it. pops said i dont know what im going to tell your mother, she still hasnt gotten over the 3 i bought last week...lol i told him i wouldnt tell her shit right now

I love those early 60s bubble top Impalas.
Dad's is for sure a nice piece.
I had a 62 bubble top in high school 283 glide with air & windows. It did not go fast but I just loved that car. I have an afinity for 62s, but I would settle for a 63.
If I bought another vehicle I had better be able to live in it. I have too much rolling stock now.

dont know yet. guy said only thing wrong with it is it leaks a little oil where the timing cover meets the oil pan. easy fix really but it sounds bad ass. said he took the 373 rears out and put a 308 in b/c it wouldnt get traction. ill see if he wants to sell it.

I think it was back in 1977 I gave away a 63 SS. It was very clean with no damage and low miles.

No sense being dumb unless you can prove it.

That is a beautiful 63! I used to have a 63 non SS myself. Like FSTJACK, I'm a sucker for a 62, so I sold the 63, and got me an even nicer 62 SS. It's not as nice as your pop's 63, and it sure as hell doesn't hace a 427 in it, but it's mine and I love it! Make sure to keep us posted with pics.

BTW, he is talking about the all aluminum 427 Zl-1 (big block)that Chevy just produced a few repros of as a commerative edition. It is badass.

That is a sweet ride. My bud has an all original 63 SS 409 car that is the same color.

The ZL-1 was a great engine. I had an L88 in my 66 Chevelle, and always wished that I could have afforded the ZL-1.

 

[blackviper]

Definitely a nice ride. I'm sure he will enjoy it.
