1963 Chevrolet Impala

INTRODUCTION: This Impala has gone through a complete body off frame restoration, and it's loaded with all the right upgrades. It has a GM crate fuel-injected crate motor, genuine leather interior, air ride, air conditioning and absolutely stunning good looks. The quality and attention to detail are evident throughout! EXTERIOR: Holy cow, is that bright red! This Impala absolutely pops. The bodywork is excellent- everything is straight, the panels fit nicely, and the doors shut solid. I don't see any rust bubbles, damage or problem areas anywhere. The bright red paint has been polished smooth like glass with a brilliant, mirror like finish. The jambs are painted slick and glossy, and the weatherstrips have been replaced. At the time of restoration, it appears all of the chrome and trim was either replaced or professionally restored, and it sparkles against that red paint. It even has a pair of bowtie mirrors. This car is rolling real proud on Billet Specialties wheels-:18s up front and extra wide 20s in back, all wrapped in performance tires. Of course, with the adjustable air ride suspension, you can put the stance exactly where you want it. INTERIOR: I'm sitting in a first class interior, and it's filled with the rich aroma of leather. Up front are two very comfortable reclining leather sport bucket seats, while the back seat is upholstered to match. The custom side panels are embossed and upholstered as well. In front of me is a leather padded dash and a beautifully integrated custom center console, also wrapped in leather. It features premium A/C vents, including vents directed toward the rear passengers, along with Vintage Air climate controls. A small door discreetly slides open to expose the air ride controls, and the console is also home to the shifter with a billet bezel and leather boot. Digital gauges bring some modern technology into the cockpit, along with an upgraded stereo system with speakers neatly hidden behind the kick panels. There's a beautiful custom steering wheel and an entirely updated wiring system. Look up and you'll notice the new headliner has little stars embossed into it, along with matching visors and a new mirror. Premium carpet finishes it off, custom cut to fit with neatly bound edges. It's luxurious, comfortable and beautifully coordinated from front to back. ENGINE COMPARTMENT: The engine compartment is beautifully finished with a great blend of vintage looks and modern technology. At the heart of it is a Chevrolet Ram Jet 350, featuring a very cool fuel-injection system designed to look vintage but offers modern electronic port fuel injection. It delivers approximately 350 horsepower along with plenty of torque and excellent drivability. It has ram horn exhaust manifolds and polished valve covers, while the entire Front Runner accessory system is polished and uses a modern serpentine belt. It includes a compact A/C compressor, one wire alternator and modern power steering with a remote reservoir and braided stainless hoses. The power brake system has also been upgraded, along with a Newport Engineering electric wiper system. Keeping everything cool is a Be Cool aluminum radiator with a large electric fan and polished overflow bottle. The firewall and inner fenders have been completely smoothed and finished in the same beautiful gloss red as the exterior, giving the entire compartment a very clean, custom appearance. It has new horns, a securely mounted battery with premium cables and a disconnect switch, a braided stainless transmission dipstick and electronic ignition. TRUNK COMPARTMENT: It is finished to match the first class interior. It has premium carpet on the floor, lift the mat and there's a carpeted compartment. It has custom boxed and upholstered side panels and the front panel is nicely finished with a red embroidered Impala logo, and it discreetly hides the air ride components behind it. Under the trunk lid and throughout the jamb are finished in the same beautiful gloss r
