Vehicle description
1964 Impala SS 409 w/ 55,700 Miles Avg. Market Value of $80 to $90K REDUCED TO $64,888.00 O.B.O. I swapped a T-Bird Roadster Convertible with
very low miles to Chevrolet Dealer who had
serviced this vehicle for 25 years for the
owner of this collectors car and I also paid
a substantial amount of cash on top for this
beautiful Impala SS 409. I"ve had the car in
storage for the past two years and I"ve put
24 miles on it just driving around the
neighborhood.
This Impala SS is a 409 SS 4 speed w/ factory
A/ Conditioning and a highly desirable Red exterior
and Red and White interior and the odometer
shows 55,700 miles and those appear to be
correct and actual however as the current
Owner I can’t represent if that is accurate
or not because in Texas,Titles simply state
Exempt for mileage on cars over 10 years of
age.
It has a Rochester 4-barrel Carburetor. This Impala
has an Oyster leather interior and has had an
older rotisserie restoration. It looks and
runs like the day it was built. This Impala
has the GM Chevrolet Big-Block V-8 Turbo-Fire
409ci engine producing 340hp and 420 ft-lb of
torque. You can ride in style in this iconic
big car from the Sixties!
These classic Impala SS 409 are becoming
harder and harder to find and in this
condition they are very rare with this color
combination, 4 speed w/ factory A/Conditioning.
I"ve Reduced this to well Below Market Value
for Quick Sale! !
Avg. Market Value of $80 to $90K REDUCED TO $64,888.00 O.B.O.
This is an older frame off restoration and
still looks Great! !
Iam Interested in an outright Cash Sale
however, will consider partial trades that
may involve Mustang Shelby"s,Rousch"s and
other similar types. (No Motorcycles, Sorry!)
For those of you who weren’t around during
the ’60s, this is the car The Beach Boys were
singing about: the Chevy 409 V8. The ultimate
ticket to bragging rights in your full-size
Chevrolet. Eventually it would be supplanted
by the 396 and 427 V8s, but hey, that was in
the future. In 1964, this was the one to
have.The 1964 full-size Chevrolets marked the end
of a basic chassis and X frame that dated to
1958. Although 1965 would usher in an all-new
big Chevy, the ’64 was treated to yet another
restyle nevertheless. While the ’64 full-
sizers were rather fresh and modern, they
also looked just a little bit plain, at least
compared with the prettier ’62 and ’63
models. Once again, several series were
available: The Biscayne, Bel Air, Impala and
the top-of-the-line Impala SS.
For some reason, 1964 model year production
was recorded only by body style, but from all
appearances Chevy did pretty well. As for the
full-size brigade, 536,329 sedans, 442,292
Sport Coupes, 200,172 Sport Sedans, 192,827
wagons, 120,951 two-door sedans and 81,897
convertibles came off the line that year.
With a 119″ wheelbase and 209.9″ overall
length, these cars had plenty of room and
space. As you’d expect, they didn’t lack for
stretch-out room and trunk space.
But back to the Super Sport. Inside and out,
the SS received special trim that set it
apart. Instead of the C-shaped chrome trim
that followed the standard Impala’s body side
“coves”, the SS got a broader, full-length
spear with a simulated engine-turned insert.
A similar trim molding accented the rear
deck, just above the familiar triple
taillights.
As had been the case since 1958 (not counting
the ’59 Chevrolet’s cat’s-eye taillights),
all Impalas received triple taillight units
per side while lower-level models, such as
the Biscayne and Bel Air, wore twin
taillights. Like the large “jet exhaust”
taillights on contemporary Fords, it was a
clever way to identify a Chevy or a Ford at
night, when taillights were all you could
see.
The standard engine for the 1964 SS was,
believe it or not, the Turbo-Thrift 230 cu
in, 140-hp straight six. An SS Sport Coupe
cost $2,839 with the six, and could be
rightly called the “all hat and no cattle”
version. For an extra $109, however, you
could get a 195-hp Turbo-Fire 283 with a
single two-barrel carburetor and single
exhaust. Of course, these were just the
“cooking” engines–new car buyers with a need
for speed could choose from an extensive menu
of available engines.
Unlike today, most dealers didn’t stock a
wide variety of cars for their lot. Most
people wanted their car just so, which meant
ordering it out to their exact
specifications. In the engine department, one
had a choice of slow, decent, fast, faster
and fastest.
Above the standard 195-horse 283 were 250-
and 300-hp versions of the 327 cu in V8. Both
came standard with a manual three speed;
optional was the Powerglide automatic or the
four-speed manual transmission. For most new
car shoppers, they probably were more than
enough engine, but there was even more motor
available to those with the desire and the
cash: The soon-to-be-legendary 409.
The 409 V8 was introduced along with the new
Super Sport model in December 1960, a few
months after the other 1961 models. It was a
direct development of the Chevy 348 “W” big
block engine first introduced in 1958.
Initially available with a single four-barrel
carburetor, it produced 360 horsepower, which
was bumped to 380 for 1962. A racing version
with dual four-barrel carbs, aluminum intake,
and forged crankshaft produced 409
horsepower, thus achieving the vaunted “one
horsepower per cubic inch” rating.
By 1963, the 409 was offered in 340-, 400-
and 425-horsepower variants. For hot rodders
and Walter Mitty-types with the cash, the
brawny, stylish 1963 models had it all, and
were perhaps the most beautiful of the 1960s
full-size Chevrolets. GM and Bill Mitchell
were really at the top of their game.
The same lineup of 409s returned for 1964.
The 400- and 425-horsepower versions were
available only with a manual transmission,
but you could get the 340-horse version with
Powerglide.
Despite its power–and even despite the Beach
Boys song–the 409’s run had by now pretty
much reached its end. As time and GM
engineering marched on, it was replaced by
the 396 cu in big-block Mark IV V8 mid-year
during the 1965 model year. In no time, the
425-horse 396 would gain just as much fame
and admiration, if not more, as the 409.
While the “regular” Impala was very nice, and
offered most any option and accessory you
could ever want, the Impala SS took things a
step further. Both hardtop and convertible
Super Sports featured unique, leather-grained
upholstery, bucket seats and a center
console.
Simulated engine-turned dash inlays, rear-
seat radio speaker, door reflectors, dual
dome and foot well courtesy lamps, and SS
badging rounded out the interior upgrades.
Beyond all these cool features and upgrades,
SS models could be dolled up even more,
thanks to a variety of available factory
options. Among them: Deluxe air conditioning
with heater ($364), tinted windows ($38 all
around, $22 for just the windshield), two-
tone paint ($16), a six-way power seat ($97)
and a $48 tachometer, as sported by our
featured car. Foreshadowing the Great
Brougham Epoch, Impala SS hardtops could wear
a vinyl roof covering for an extra $75.
Nineteen sixty-four was a big year for
Chevrolet. The refreshed Impala line,
mechanically improved Corvair and all-new
midsize Chevelle produced a lot of happy
folks at the Chevrolet division–1965 would be
an even better year, not just for Chevrolet,
but for all of Detroit. Echoing the sales
performance of a decade earlier, 1965 would
set many production records as Bill
Mitchell’s squared off, linear styling
evolved into more sculpted and sweeping
designs. But in 1964, things were going quite
well, making all of that–for now–strictly
academic.
This beautiful 1964 Impala SS 409 runs and
looks like the day it drove off the showroom
floor and even includes factory
A/conditioning, 4 speed transmission, AM/FM
stereo, Red w/ red and white interior. See You Tube Video @ https:/ www.youtube.com/watch?v=kF7XRE2tyvI&t=16s
