Projects My New Lady :)

Hey everyone. I just picked up this new lady from Alabama on Saturday. She's been calling out to me for about a month now, and I finally got everything worked out to be able to go get her.

- 1963 Impala 4 door hardtop (Yes, I know its a 4 door and not 2)
- 283 with Powerglide: 99,000 miles (original I think) RUNS GREAT/SHIFTS GREAT
- Everything works like it did when new. I repeat....EVERYTHING works (clock, cigarette lighter, AM radio, lights, horn, wipers, heater, etc...) I'm pretty pumped about that!
- Fresh repaint (stock color supposedly). Trying to get the paint code figured out.
- Very nice interior condition
- Very little surface rust under it

 

Looks like the springs are shot.

 

need interior and engine pics!

 

Looks good to me! Even though it's a 4 door I still like it and it still has style! Pile your friends in it and cruise!

 

Yeah, something like that

 

I haven't taken any good shots of the interior yet, and none of the engine. It needs new carpet and a lower door panel. Also, just ordered all new window weather stripping.

 

Huh, looks like a car to me.. Where's the lady?? The car is cool though...

 

Congrats - Cool - any special mods planned?

 

Well, it's already bagged and the engine runs smooth and tight, so probably just slap a 200r4 or something similar in it, put a hidden stereo in, update the interior to new again (new chrome hardware, carpet, headliner, dash painted, LED lights) and detail the engine compartment. Checking out some finned valve covers and a few other things to make the engine a little more presentable.

 

That thing's just screamin' for astros!!!

 

Staff car....
Load that up with your buds, and cruise. Cool more door.

 

X2 on the Astros...

 

I graduated High School in 1965. During the 60's the parents owned a 62 and a 66 4-door Impala Hard Top. I have a lot of fond memories dating in those cars. The extra wide front seat was a blast when parked with cute Young Honey. I still think about those days and especially those girls. Getting Old is a Pain..............
Enjoy the car and take the wife or girlfriend to the local drive-in. The car is Cool !!! Jeff

 

You lady is gorgeous! I had a decade-long fling with her older sister years ago . . .

 

63 Impalas are cool in any body style. Looks like you have a keeper to me.

 

hum,lady or slut ? cool chevy....

 

Thanks fellas for the compliments I'm pretty excited about it. I love hearing people's stories of their memories in similar cars. If only these cars could talk...... ;D

And sawbuck, of course she's a "lady". I don't let those dirty legs hang out at my house! lol
