The 1960s was still an era of style. Cars were not as flamboyant in their appearance as they were in the 1950s, but people still wanted to look cool in their rides. Why else would the Chevy Impala Super Sport (SS) become so widely popular? From its heyday between 1962-66, the company built nearly 800,000 of them, although sales would fall off during the rest of the decade (thanks in part to the new, luxurious Caprice). This 1964 edition is a one-owner, real deal SS as verified by the VIN provided. The car runs well but needs some work in the sheet metal area. Located in Nebraska City, Nebraska, this Super Sport is available here on eBay where the reserve has yet to be cracked at bids of $13,500.

In late 1961, Chevy rolled out the Super Sport as a limited production car with sporty attire and big engines. Only a few hundred copies were built. The following year, the large engines became optional with any Chevy powerplant being available in an SS branded car. The ploy worked and sales ballooned to nearly 100,000 units in 1962. Now quite popular, the Impala became its own series in 1964 and responded with 185,000 autos rolling off the assembly lines, though not a record. That’s when the seller’s car was built with a 327 cubic inch V8 and 4-speed manual transmission.

This Impala has been listed for sale by the owner’s nephew. Said owner has put 107,000 miles on the Chevy in 58 years, which means it was little used for great periods of its time on Planet Earth. Helping the car survive is that it didn’t spend its periods of downtime outside, always being stored indoors. That doesn’t mean that Mother Nature hasn’t created some issues as the fenders are rusted but new front panels will follow the car. And the quarter panels also have issues, but the seller doesn’t believe replacements will be required.

On the downside (or plus side, depending on how you look at it), a new short-block has replaced the original 327 V8 and has seen only 2,000 miles of use. The transmission was treated to a new clutch, pressure plate, and throw-out bearing, so the Chevy now shifts as it should. This is a car that you could restore while you drive. The limited photos provided of the interior display original upholstery that presents quite well. The Chevy retains its original SS hub caps, though not pictured.
