Description

Well-restored Impala coupe that came to Sweden from California in 2015. For the first six years, until 2021, it was driven in Boden and has since primarily been used on the west coast. The current owner got the car in exchange when he sold his boat, and is now selling it due to changed plans.

The car has never had any serious rust damage. It was restored about 12 years ago in the U.S. and remains in excellent condition both inside and out, as well as underneath and mechanically.

The car has had both the body and interior professionally restored, as well as the engine, transmission, and brakes. In addition, there have been several upgrades that make it more drivable and enjoyable on the road.

Engine: 383 Stroker (around 330 hp) with Lunati aluminum heads, Woodo cam. Lift 486"/489" duration 262 degrees/268 degrees. Hydraulic lifters. Edelbrock intake. Edelbrock 600 carburetor. Edelbrock mini starter, Hedman headers. Champion aluminum radiator. Transmission: TH350 automatic.

Interior: Impala SS Bucket seats, SS center console, Iditit steering column. Front suspension: Global West with power brakes and front disc brakes, as well as power steering. Rear axle: Open diff, 3.08 gearing, sway bar, and Monroe Hi-Jackers in the rear. New fuel tank.

The car comes with a binder of inspection and service records, among other things. SS (Super Sport) was a sports package, with the largest engine and accessories that could be ordered when buying new. During the restoration, this car was fitted with SS suspension, emblems, seats, and center console to resemble an SS model.

The odometer reads 89,290.8 miles. Since the car has been completely restored, we cannot assess the true mileage. Since the last vehicle inspection in 2017, the car has been driven 4,000 miles (just over 600 km) without any issues, according to the previous owner. The car is in excellent condition inside and out, with nothing in particular to note. It's ready to be used.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The car starts immediately and rolls and shifts smoothly. It handles well on the road. Good engine power and excellent brakes. Power steering is a plus. Newer chrome rims and fresh tires.

  • Interior condition:

    Nice new interior as part of the renovation 12 years ago. Still in top condition. The radio is located under the dashboard, hence the holes for the original placement are uncovered. The folding parts of the sport seats have dots/oxidation on the chrome. Newer sports steering wheel with a wooden rim. The original steering wheel is in the trunk. The door sill plates are a bit scratched (see pictures). The headliner looks good but is not completely taut (normal).

  • Exterior condition:

    The car looks very good. New moldings and bumpers among other things as part of the renovation. Good paint without scratches or rust. However, some sink marks and scratches under the paint can be discerned on top of the hood if you look closely.

  • General condition:

    Nice car that is ready to use. Just turn the key. Updated with better radiator and carburetor, as well as better heads, brakes, suspension, and steering, making the car very nice to drive, even over longer distances. However, it is no longer completely original, but the benefits outweigh this in our assessment.

Facts about the model

One of the best-selling car models in the USA in 1963. In Sweden, there are just over 250 cars from 1963 in the sedan model, in both two and four-door versions, and about a hundred convertibles. There are the fewest two-door coupés. The Jönsson gang's Impala was a black four-door from the 1964 model year.

  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends.
