Показать описание

This gorgeous award winning, numbers matching, 1963 Chevrolet Impala Sport Coupe Super Sport is a rare find with its 409 ci V-8 producing 425 hp, 4-speed manual transmission and the sought after red-on-red color combination. This fully restored, well-maintained, 41,000-mile, stunning example needs nothing to be enjoyed on tours and shown.

This Impala was produced in December of 1963 and acquired and enjoyed by its first owner in Ohio for 32 years. The Impala was fully restored in 1986 and soon put in storage due to the owner having health issues. The Super Sport was inherited by the first owner’s nephew and was acquired by Ivan Goday of Campbell, OH in 1995. Mr. Goday enjoyed and maintained the Impala for 19 years when it was acquired by John Hyland of Springfield, OR. 8 years later, the Impala was acquired by Mr. Hyland’s long-time friend and current owner, David Kammerer. Mr. Kammerer is an avid automotive collector and is known for the care and maintenance of his collection of amazing American automobiles which he displays in his climate-controlled garage.

The stunning livery of this Impala Super Sport is a lustrous Ember Red (Paint Code 922) and is in excellent condition overall. Any minor imperfections are only visible upon very close inspection. The chrome and bright work are in very nice overall condition and show few imperfections only in high use areas. The SS badges and all emblems are correct and in very nice condition as are the SS wheel covers which are mounted on red wheels. The wheels are wrapped in B.F Goodrich bias-ply tires which all show little wear. The trunk is in beautiful condition with the appropriate mats and comes complete with a spare tire that is likely the original spare, complete with label. The livery of this rare and multi award-winning Impala shows very well overall and needs nothing to be shown and toured.

The interior is in beautiful condition overall in red vinyl (Trim Code 875-Z) and shows very little wear only in the high traffic areas. The Super Sport only, bucket seats are chrome trimmed and show very well. The factory optioned padded red vinyl dash is in beautiful condition as are the gauges, machined stainless backing plates and controls knobs. The locking chrome center console comes with a beautiful SS badge and is home to the chrome 4-speed manual shifter complete with a white shift knob. The red steering wheel is in very nice condition and displays the words “Super Sport” in the center of the horn. The red-on-red color combination of this award-winning Impala shows beautiful and very desirable.

The heart of this Impala Super Sport is its coveted 409 ci V-8 motor which is housed in the nicely detailed and painted engine compartment. The 409 produces 425 hp at 6,000 rpm with its two 4-barrel Carter carburetors mounted on the aluminum intake manifold and sounds amazing with its stainless-steel dual exhaust system. The high horsepower unput is transferred to the rear wheels through a 4-speed manual transmission with the shift lever located in the chrome center console. The motor is accented with a beautiful chrome air cleaner complete with the Chevrolet logo and 409 emblems. The chrome valve covers are in very nice condition and display the 425 Horsepower chrome and black stickers. The engine compartment shows very well overall and needs nothing to be ready for shows.

Accompanying this amazing Impala Super Sport are 20-plus trophies and awards, the original radio unit, assorted memorabilia, the Owner’s Guide, and several period correct documents.
