Station wagons were always a big part of Chevrolet’s portfolio back in the day. The 1964 model year was no exception, with one out of every seven full-size Chevies built in that body style. The Impala continued as the big seller, though quite a few Bel Air and Biscayne people movers were sold. The seller is the second owner of the low-mileage ’64 Impala wagon, having owned it for the past 28 years. Looking 100% original, this Chevy is in Yuma, Arizona, and is available here on eBay. The opening bid is $39,500, but there have been no takers. $45,000 is the amount needed to close the deal here and now. Kudos to T.J. for this cool tip!
All of the 192,000 full-size Chevy wagons produced in 1964 came with four doors. Two-door versions hadn’t been in the mix for some time. Since the Caprice was a year away, the Impala was the swankiest model you could buy, and the seller’s car doesn’t disappoint. Besides having a 327 cubic inch V8, factory air conditioning was ordered by the original owner, who had the car for 33 years. Only 43,000 miles are reflected on the odometer, indicating it’s always been a garage queen.
The 327 is a “Turbo-Fire” which we assume has a 2-barrel carburetor. The automatic transmission should be the 2-speed Powerglide that Chevy sold a ton of back then. In original condition, we’re told the machine runs really well, so its third owner should be able to drive it for many years to come. While this is not stated as a 3-seat wagon, we’re told the Chevy has an electric tailgate window.
This ’64 Impala wagon may be among the nicest left. And, as such, the seller has set a lofty price tag that could set you back more than 40 large. Wagons have become more popular in recent years, but most collectors might opt to put this money toward a Super Sport. What would you do?
So, another dreamer who thinks it’s still 2020 and is asking $45k. Nice car, but very niche, as they say, GLWS.
In a 1964 full-size Chevy the 327 came off the line with a 4 barrel.
May be the only one left that appears to be in nice and original condition, but that’s a lot of money for a station wagon. It seems everyone thinks their car is worth its weight in gold.
The seller priced the car for perfection, or better. If the seller want to get paid he needs to write an ad that attempts to justify the asking price, he didn’t. Where is the proof of mileage? A picture of the speedometer and using the word original shouldn’t be accepted. The seller says it in original condition, what exactly does it mean? In the context of the ad, potential buyers are left to determine what exactly that means. It’s one thing to do this on a car with a $2,500 asking price, not $40,000.
