I got a 64 SS409 with single four barrel and 400 hp, and it came with a spare set of tires. Good thing, as I used up two tires on a 30 day leave. The thing was a beast, I never did but one burn out with the car, and spun a tire off a rim. Any "racing" I did, was rolling start at the crosswalk on the far side of a stop light, so you didn't stress gears or tires, or attract attention with tire squeal, or the possibility of an accident from the standing start. Wishing I had that one back again.
BAD ASS 63, my son had one when he was 15, beautiful cars, aaalllll 50's, 60's AND 70'S, BEAUTIFUL
Had one in 69. White red int. 409 4 sp. One owner. Paid 1300. 70000 miles. Wish i had it now.
I always thought 1963 was one of Chevrolet's finest years with top notch exterior styling and an upgraded interior trim level. The goodies mentioned in the video are more than icing on the cake.
Even though I could never afford any of these cars, Tony does the best presentations ever.
Every video is a car show in itself.
My old neighbor had one of these that was beige. 1963 SS unrestored, just over 1000 mile on it. 2nd owner of car, bought from original owner who picked it up from the factory and drove it to his car museum in GA. Still had quality control stickers on the windows. Can't imagine what that car would be worth now!
Owned white 63 Impala with 327 cu in 4 barrel automatic, it was one of my fav cars.
Back in these(good ol' days) days, as in the fifties and prior years, cars changed from year to year COMPLETELY. This includes all the sheet metal, interior design, DASH design...EVERYTHING! I still remember back in these days riding my bicycle to the local Chevrolet dealership, where they drove the new cars into the showroom and had the sheets over the windows so no one could peek in and see the new models! Those were the last days I'll always fondly remember.
We had one of these when I was a child except it was a different color on the outside. It was a very solid vehicle.
I had a Red '62 Impala SS 409 dual quad 4spd car with 411 gears and HP heads. It had no PS (ordered that way) and actually had factory exhaust "dump tubes" you could unscrew for going to the track. (This was back in '69 while in High School). It passed everything on the road, EXCEPT THE GAS STATIONS! ;-) HORRIBLE GAS MILEAGE, but a pretty cool car for cruising. And that was back when high octane "Ethyl" gas was only 49.9/gal for Chevron Custom Supreme (gold label) gas. How I'd LOVE to have it back again!!
Yeah I'll bet gas was pretty cheap back then
@@jamesmcleod5545 I fed mine with 37c a gallon gas and 5 times blue chip stamps. It was a good time to own a gas hog, and I had to gas mine 4 times from the Bay Area to Camp Pendleton. That's 88 gallons, with 22 at the start, 110 gallons to go 500 miles. But it could pass anything but a gas station, up to 110 mph, and hit the plateau there. I raced a lot of Dodge RTs and such and beat them all, unless you were on a freeway and willing to go to the limit top end and risk losing your license and car and freedom. If I'm in fourth gear and 5 car gap, it's OVER, I'm not racing an enduro race. Back to the speed limit and next challenger at the next light.
...."she's real fine, my 409" wow! SWEET DREAMS are made of this! great looking car, even better sound, great video post!
My brother had one. When the 2nd 4 barrel kicked in, the hood would actually dimple in! One kick ass car. In its day: Nothing could catch her -- Nothing cold touch my 409!
Beautiful car, keep it original!
Wow! When he started that thing up it was like sweet, sweet music, I am making a ringtone from that. There is nothing like American muscle.
had a '67 SS chevelle with solid lifter 396/375. Pain in the ass.
Great video thanks for sharing You can't see cars like this anymore only little plastic cars shit box old good days are gone no more chrome cars and good music
I take a old car like this over a new car any day
Me too
i had one just like it except mine was red , from 1963 until 1967 , never was out run and back then we could race on the open road after midnight here in SE Georgia without much to worry about.
Hugh
Well done sir!! Sweet ride. That is a true muscle car! Love to have that in my garage.
4 speed, dual quad positraction 409......NICE
what a beauty, dream of owning a 64.
I've had two midnight blue 64 SS and came close to buying a red 63 SS 409-4 speed convertible.
He says, most 409s were lazy? Bullshit!
That thing's incredible.
Thnx 4 the test drive...
She's real fine my 409 The Beach Boys set it all
I had a 65 Impala SS with a 409 it was the slowest car I've ever driven
Oh jeez, I used to own a black 63 belair with a 396 back in the early 90's. Of course not nearly as nice as this but it sure does bring back memories.
I had two '63 Super Sports, but neither had the 409. They were very nice cars for the time.
Also had a 63 SS Convertible with a 409, blue with white top and black interior with a 4 speed.Paid $500.00 in 69.
Beautiful machine!
Thats my car! Repaint it white with black windows and lower the back. Light up all three rear lights.
I owned a -63 long time ago and is still dreaming of one again.
bowtie proving the greatest auto built on earth.
My dad was a big Ford guy but he bought a new 63 Impala SS 4 speed and he ordered it with Carter carbs and 4.11 gears. Then he was mad when Ford offered their 427 dual quads in the 64 galaxy.
Great story, did you dad trade the chevy in for the ford?
nice car man my grandpa bought a 63 chevy impala with the same color off the show room floor new in that same year
i own a 63 impala ss... this car is amazing!
I really like this one. It's got all the right stuff. I'd like to have a '64 with all the same things that this one has. And a '64 Impala with all this may even be more of a rarity because in '64 the were a lot less Impalas built with 409s and 300 horse 327s than there were in '63. Unfortunately there weren't much more than half the amount of each of the 3 409s or 300HP small blocks total put in Impalas in '64 that there were in '63. In '64 the Impala SS was more advertised to be a luxury car and more were made with factory A/C, and/or even fully optioned out with more creature comforts (like power everything).
The guy that sold mine to me told me it was a dealer car and pretty much used to test drive buyers who would then be sold a 283 and powerglide rendition of the car, leaving them wonder where the power went. He said there were 250 built of the SS409, with single 4 barrel and factory tach, chrome engine parts, air cleaner, oil filler and dipstick, and valve covers, as well as reverb, and rear speaker.
@NAM19661967 cant tell you how much I respect you with words for fighting in the conflict man
I would have been over there myself if I had been born early enough...
wicked taste in cars too, keep the spirit alive. This is comin' from a 21 year old canadian kid, Thank You for your service.
Engine turning is a machining process which makes small swirl marks in a metal panel such as stainless steel or aluminum, was used on SS models both Impala and Novas, and later on Trans Am,s. Hard to see in this video, but can be seen slightly on the dash panel, console and rear quarter trim with Impala script.
my dad is around 62 and had one of these back in the day 409 built to the 9's pushin 520 horse but sadly let it go one day i want to see if i can find it and buy it if it was not sold for scrap 30 years back
My dad had a 63 SS....Those wheel covers were stolen 3 times
She's So Fine.. My 409
beautiful car. had a 64 with 327 n 3 on the tree. go figure? wasnt quick but would hit 90 in 2nd gear
Sounds like it had the rear end from an automatic, which was WAY taller than the stick rear end gears. Great for mileage.
Wow. Damn, I do miss that back seat make out session.
Only driven to Church on Sundays by a dear old lady.
Just a sweet ride
6:27 any factory car that can shake the whole body around is good in my book
Can't push it hard since it has a split drive shaft. I had an '63 Impala SS 409 and I went through a few carrier bearings/supports as well as a twisted the driveshaft off the UJoint. It is fast but not good for drag or fast pop starts. Loved watching this video since that is what I wanted my car to be like. Mine did not have the built in Tach. I had a Hurst his/hers floor shift. Automatic.
No his/hers shift quadrant in a Chevrolet.
I had a 1964 409 SS convertible,i was hot stuff riding around in that car.
The best part of these cars was the large back seat, great for making out with your girl friend. I owned 2, 1964 SS's and 1 '67 SS 427. They were basically un-drivable in NY snow. It was all over for the Impala when the Chevelle & Camaro hit the streets. A Super-Bee running a 440 cu in Six Pack would walk away from this one. Been there.
One of my best friends when I was a kid has this same engine in a 63 Biscayne.........no chrome, a real sleeper if there was one!
@eazzytoeazzy '63 didn't have any "SS" trim on the trunk. All on the rear 1/4s.
Nice piece man!!!
Same as the one my brother had. except he had it in a green-blue color that was much more popular. 2-four barrels. Same hubcaps as shown here.
The biggest detail I miss is the push out window vents in the doors ,I miss the style and I miss the cool air those vents generate where you just roast in modern cars unless your sealed up right with the air on ,and that's a huge disconnect from driving for me ,I read hot rod magazine in Vietnam where they wrote up the AMX as the fastest car of 1969 and they nicknamed it the corvette killer ,that's all I thought about my final tour and when I made it to Detroit I ordered the 1969 AMX with the 390 big block and dual quad Go Package, I still have the car to this day along with a brand new 390 crate motor for the car but the 1 thing the AMX Is missing is push out vent windows .
64 "wing" windows were crank style so you could set it and it would stay there.
I will never forget the cars my dad bought home from work to ya know test out for a week or so must of the time they were normal cars but every once in a while he would get a mustang I may be wrong but I think I was the only one he brought with him when he took that pony out on the Express way and really as they say opened that thing up damn he made that engine scream
probably the nicest in the country.
Stolen 1962 Belair 409 bubble top dual quad stolen Feb 2019 out of SoCal. Posted on Jimmy Shines Speed shop Instagram for more info. Red and tan interior. Very few of these cars out there. If you run across it take photos, get info, lic plate, vin # and get it to us. Car has been in this guys family for 40 years. Help bring her home. Big Reward offered. Please post on other media. Bless and Thank you.
B-H
Great car. Personally I'd prefer a 283 Powerglide, the 409 is a but much. Love the SS trim and the Impala Sport Coupe body style.
I had a 63 convertible in 67. 409 2 4s and 4 speed. A bear.
I bought a 63 chevy Biscayne with a 409 340 hp 4 barrel rodchester carb with with a 3 speed on the column and I was getting 53 in 1st & 83 in 2nd and that engine screamed, but if you reved it over 6,000 RPM the engine would blow. I loved that ride and I burned out the clutch in 3 weeks so I got me a 3,200 lb. pressure plate and it lasted me a year and I could peel out in 2nd gear. Cost me 4 grand in 1963 with interest Payments were $101.91. I MISS THAT RIDE ! ! !
Beautiful
Tony's gonna roll down the highway with" Ice Cube "and do the three wheel motion.
LOL Today was a good day!!!
The little triangular windows at the A-pillar? Always known them as "wind-wings."
Pray that some idiot in a Kia doesn't wreck into the beautiful machine texting while driving.
Fins on the radiator don't look 100%. Hit by locusts at 130mph maybe?
Sweet ride. Fat tires and the front end will probably come up off the line.
I bought a GTO from these people. Nice to do business with.
The 63 SS aluminum body side moldings, and rear panel had the what I call "swirls", did it not? This car does not have that, or I missed something. The dashboard aluminum inlays have the swirls, am I wrong, anyone ?
varigdc10 maybe this car was ordered without it. I thought that was strange also. Gosh it finishes the car perfectly! I agree with you though! Where is it?? Lol Have a good day!
Yes sir your right on the Money the true 63SS had swirls
You are not wrong. Swirls were simulated engine-turning or some say jeweled. My bet is that was removed when car was repainted.
@@hammered0184 I think it was because this was born as a sleeper, so didn't have the "jeweled" trim. It was important on mine, as it was a deep "cobalt blue", which looked black with blue hints, unless in bright sunlight. The trim woke it up and broke it up, sort of like the two tones of the fifties would break the color. My 409 was muffled with two huge mufflers that make it sound pretty domestic, but large, so they performed as well.
@@michaelt.lichtenfeld3218 I'd almost say the swirls were part of the SS package. The side badge SS 409, over the checkered flags, was pretty eye catching apparently, as I had several people comment on it at lights. One chided it as the car was just stock appearing with rims matching the car, and baby moons. They challenged me and learned it had a horse under it.
Beutiful Car and immaculate condition.
SS had engine turned trim on the trunk around the tail lights.
Camshaft wear hurt street performance on these converted truck engines a lot. The single carbed 380 and 400 HP cars were dawgs. I outran a 400 HP '63 with a 245HP, 2X4 '58 Corvette in '64. NASCAR wins with 409 power were quite rare.
mine was a black on black 64
Mine was dark blue (midnight blue maybe) typ of all dark color cars just hell to keep clean.
Mine was white with red interior. I would give my left nut for it back!
I am looking for the stanard 63 impala coupe not the SS but the SS is nice too. My grandpa bought a new 63 Impala hardtop which was the standard model off the showroom floor. I rather have the stanard coupe in this color.
headers give off a lot of heat so I would put the stock manifolds back on .
If anyone says they have a dual 4 barrel 409 with an automatic,they are liars.Chevrolet never put an automatic behind the dual barrel 409s,anything with a dual carb set had a manual transmission behind it only.You pay dearly for 409 exhaust manifolds,my father paid a grand for a set of 409 exhaust manifolds.
Doesn't mean they couldn't replace the manifold with a dual. Just saying. Mine was a replaced Auto Transmission with a floor shift. Single 4 Barrel. I had a six pack manifold to put on it when the tranny blew a seal, no reverse and my life took a good turn, a very good turn, sold the car as is for $400 to get it out of my parents driveway. Back in "75-76 Got saved! Had a few tickets but the worse one was I had to take my Thrush Mufflers off to put stock mufflers on. How does that work with headers? LOL Didn't take long to take them off. Went with side pipes. Cops wanted me out even though I always treated them with respect. The word did get around. They called my car the "Toilet Bowl". LOL
The 409 had a space issue in the engine bay, so the exhaust manifolds had to be just so, to fit. They were said to be restrictive, and I'd agree, given the response of the engine in this video, and the response of my 409, I'd agree. Mine was stock manifolds and having worked on the starter, you pretty much remove the engine to do so, with the manifolds sort of being a "mid process" step, removing them after lifting the engine up some. LOTs of hands. We lifted it out with a swing set and chain fall, tore it down and replaced a piston, put it back together and eventually traded it off to my brother in law. I can't even find him now to learn where the car ended up.
In 63. Everybody owned an impala maybe not 409 but impalas were all over
Oh yeah, thanks, now I remember.
NICE!!!!!!
@KoDBeast Believe me I do... very fun car.
the nine people that dislike drive rice civics
HAHA
And listen to RapCrap.....so consider the source!!
dude thats rich vos show respect
why did you start up an ice cold engine and then floor it? that causes severe damage.
he is a salesman
He didn't floor it
btw Red interior and Black exterior are hard to because I dont want an SS I want a the standard Impala any ideas where?
The real sleeper was the Chevy nova with the big v8
The Beach Boys song 409
Suggestion: Do away with the annoying music.
Will dat 409 spin the 28" Im gonna put on i or is I gonna have to step up to a 5 double deuce box motor?
Where’s the test Drive?
what did it sell for?
This was my first car but mine had power windows ...I paid 1,000.00 for mine used. Wonder why this one did not have power windows???
it's a beautiful car, esp the original black paint - not common in those days. that said, why is it sitting so high? & not to nitpick or anything, but the front bumper isn't straight (from side-view shown in clip) & the rear chrome insert around tailights does't look right. maybe it's the camera/lighting/etc., but a comment on these things in your dialogue would be useful.
Bad ass car,,, But why have music playing in the background when he fires it up,,, LAME!!!
Gangsta car!)XD
seriously, how much does they cost?
I will stunn everyone here in europe, driving one like that the big trunk can be usefull for cheaper LPG fuel tank
Dual master cyl. not original but still very nice.

My 65 Buick Gran Sport with 401 would blow right by that toy.
You're not gonna give a price? Any 409 would sound sweeter opened up than the quickie you demo'd here -- I remember! If it's not stock, it's no good to me.
Engine turned trim -- what does that mean?
How much
