134716 / 1963 Chevrolet Impala SS

For more information on this vehicle visit A vast majority of the metal that comes through our RK Motors Charlotte showroom is either flawless, concours-level show fare or incredibly original, low-mileage garage fodder. But, as awesome as those rare and exclusive cars are, the foundation of this hobby has always been old school stalwarts that we can drive, build on, show off and enjoy. Think about it, when you were a kid, did you dream of towing a pristine factory-original car to a field where it would sit and look pretty? No way! You wanted a classy head turner that was striking, cool and expressed your individual tastes. Professionally restored and powered by a smooth yet potent ZZ4 small block, this impressive Impala the kind of fully sorted cruiser that is ready to capture plenty of awards at local car shows, and be enjoyed to and from those events. The beneficiary of a no expenses spared $160,000 restoration, this Impala presents new in nearly every way. The complete frame-off restoration was finished in December of 2010. The 1963 Impalas were sleek and stylish, with an absence of excessive chrome that suggested GM was coming out of its tailfin-induced hangover from the 1950s. At the front of the car, a body width stainless grille is stamped with black “Chevrolet“ script and houses four clear headlights above centered parking lights. Lift the hood on this Antelope and you’ll be carried to a valley of chrome surrounded by a black engine bay. Under the bright work, a GM Performance ZZ4 crate motor cranks out over 400hp worth of motivation for this cruiser. Bolted to the powerful ZZ4 is a Powerglide 2-speed automatic transmission that has been equipped with a 2500rpm B&M stall converter. But the real story under the car is the upgraded air-ride suspension that allows you to achieve the perfect look by simply adjusting the bags from within the ride. Adding to the appeal of this Impala is the completely custom two-tone leather interior that is absolutely stunning. The leather design is simple yet classy enough to grab everyone’s attention as they walk by. Call, click or visit for more information.
