While it boasts a commanding presence, impressive upgrades, and the legendary style that makes '63 Impalas so sought after, let's be unequivocally clear upfront: this car is affectionately, yet accurately, described as a "beautiful rust bucket." It is a substantial project for the enthusiast ready to invest the time and craftsmanship to bring it back to its full glory. St # DGC3912. VIN 01837S103912 A Strong Foundation of Performance and Modern Upgrades: Beneath its classic sheet metal lies a surprisingly capable and upgraded mechanical package: Engine: Powering this Impala is a 327 cubic inch V8 engine, known for its spirited performance. It's enhanced with a performance Holley double pumper carburetor and Headman headers, ensuring a robust sound and improved breathing. An aluminum radiator has been installed to manage cooling efficiently. Drivetrain (Believed): We believe this Impala has been upgraded with a 700R4 automatic overdrive transmission. This is a significant improvement, offering four gears (including overdrive) for much more comfortable and fuel-efficient freeway cruising compared to stock transmissions. Buyers are encouraged to verify transmission type upon inspection. Brakes: For modern stopping power, the front end has been upgraded with power disc brakes, a crucial enhancement for safety and driveability. Suspension & Steering: The front suspension has received considerable attention with new springs, new tubular control arms, and new tie rod ends. These components aim to significantly improve handling and ride quality. Wheels & Tires: The car sits aggressively on 20-inch five-spoke cast wheels wrapped in like-new tires, giving it a contemporary stance and immediate curb appeal. Known Mechanical Considerations (Per Recent Driving Experience): While significant upgrades have been made, Andrew's recent drives indicate areas that still require attention to fully optimize performance and feel: Front End Play: Despite new suspension components, there is a perception of "a little bit of play in the front end." This could stem from the steering box, pitman/idler arms, or require a professional alignment to fully tighten up. Engine Performance: The engine, while strong, is "not performing as well as it should." This suggests it likely needs a thorough tune-up, carburetor adjustment, timing check, and potentially a deeper dive into the ignition or fuel system to unleash its full potential. Exterior & Interior Notes: Doors: Both doors close very well, indicating relatively solid door jambs and good body alignment for its age. Rear Bumper: The rear bumper shows some wear with missing chrome. Audio: An aftermarket JVC CD player (which appears recent but is currently not working) is installed, along with dual speakers in the kick panels. The original stock radio is also present but not functional. The "Beautiful Rust Bucket": Let's reiterate this key point. While the car presents nicely on its custom wheels and with its iconic body lines, it does have significant rust issues. Expect to find rust in common Impala weak points such as floor pans, trunk pan, rocker panels, and potentially other areas. This is a car that requires serious bodywork and restoration to address these structural and cosmetic concerns. History: This Impala was a cherished possession of the previous owner for 22 years, having owned it since 2002. It was recently acquired from the widow, speaking to its long-term care and sentimental value within its previous home. A True Project for the Passionate Enthusiast: This 1963 Impala is being sold as a project car, strictly AS-IS, WHERE-IS, with no warranties, express or implied. It offers a unique opportunity for a dedicated restorer to acquire an iconic classic with a strong, upgraded mechanical foundation, but with known body and refinement needs. If you possess the vision, skills, and passion to tackle a rewarding restoration, this "beautiful rust bucket" could be the canvas for your next masterpiece. Serious inquiries and pre-purchase inspections are highly encouraged.

It's a driver-built '60 Impala that's been repowered and updated for modern road use while keeping the silhouette that makes these cars worth owning in the first place. Stock #165140, priced at $49,990. Mileage shows 22,250 (TMU). The cowl tag reads Style 60-1837 (two-door V8 Impala Sport Coupe), Trim 809 (Black/White), Paint 936 (Ermine White), with accessory code EZW for the tinted windshield. So the car left the factory white with a black-and-white interior. It's now Roman Red with a red-and-white interior - neither the paint nor the trim is original to this body, and we're up front about that. The repaint date is unknown. What It Has Under the hood is a 350ci V8 fed by a 600 CFM Holley four-barrel sitting on an Edelbrock Torker 2.0 intake. Behind it is a TH400 three-speed automatic and a Ford 9-inch rear - a common, durable swap that turns these into reliable cruisers. Power steering and power front and rear disc brakes are on board, along with factory-style A/C. An aftermarket oil pressure gauge has been added to the dash. The interior is the part that catches people. Bench seats trimmed in red vinyl with white cloth checkerboard inserts, red carpet, red door panels - it's a period-correct '50s/'60s diner aesthetic that suits the bubble top better than the original black-and-white scheme did, in our opinion. Seats, carpet, and door panels are all clean. Headliner is tight. Dash is clean. Functionally: horn works, all gauges work, all lights and indicators work, interior lights work, wipers work. BF Goodrich Silvertown 8.00-14 four-ply wide whites at all four corners. Spare tire is in the trunk. A car cover is included. What You Should Know We're going to be straightforward about the cosmetic and functional issues, because we'd rather you know now than be surprised at pickup. The clock does not work and the radio does not work. There's no jack in the trunk - just the spare. Paint has a few flaws worth flagging: a bubble spot on the hood near the driver-side windshield, a crack in the paint behind the rear window, and a blemish in the paint on the rear driver-side quarter near the trunk. The rear passenger window glass is frosted (delaminated). None of these are deal-breakers on a driver-tier car at this price, but they're real and we want them disclosed. The mileage shows 22,250 but is marked TMU - true mileage unknown - which is normal for a car this age and should be treated as a number on the odometer rather than verified history. The Bigger Picture The 1960 model year is the second and final year of the bubble-top Impala body before Chevrolet moved to the more upright '61 roofline, and it's the year a lot of collectors and cruiser-buyers prefer. The "bubble top" Sport Coupe - formally the 1837 body style - has the wraparound rear glass that defines the look. Chevrolet built somewhere around 204,000 Impala Sport Coupes for 1960, so they're not rare, but clean drivable examples have been climbing steadily, and a Sport Coupe with modern brakes, a 350, and a 9-inch rear is a more usable car than a stock 348 setup. What you're buying with this one is the look and the experience without the maintenance headaches of vintage Chevy small-block-or-W-engine ownership. The 350/TH400/9-inch combination is the most-supported drivetrain in the hobby - parts are everywhere, every shop knows it, and it'll cruise at modern highway speeds without complaint. How to Buy It The car is at our shop in Orwigsburg, PA. We'd encourage anyone serious to come see it in person - the paint flaws and the frosted rear window are easier to assess with your own eyes than over photos, and we want buyers who've made peace with what the car is. We'll send additional photos of any specific area on request, can arrange a third-party PPI, and can help coordinate enclosed transport.
