Re: Just kicking tires....
I've been looking for a while. For the last 6 months or so seriously.
Both of these are great drivers. Neither is an SS. Although the '63 is badged as one, the plate says otherwise. They do point that out in the details.

Re: Just kicking tires....
The hood threw me off for sure. Then I think it may be a 66 not a 67 as mine was. It has been a long time. I know for sure the taillights were different and think something was different in the grille or front turn signals. I just can't put my finger on it. Is it a 66 or 67 Robert?ferris1248 wrote:I've been looking for a while. For the last 6 months or so seriously.

Re: Just kicking tires....
That's a '66.
The '67 had a different grille with some different eyebrow treatment. The taillights were larger with some chrome accents. A bit of a sharper, more defined look than the '66.
That is a 396 hood with the faux hood scoops but this particular car is running a 355 small block.
Here's what you had...

Re: Just kicking tires....
A 1963 Impala SS was my very first car. That sure does bring back memories.
I've been in and out of the muscle car scene over the last 20 years and can honestly say there are not nearly as many all-original cars out there any longer. Somewhere in the ownership chain Billy-Bob adds a Edelbrock manifold here or a 12-bolt rear in place of the stock 10. You really gotta research the cars 'cause they don't come cheap and that GTO that catches your eye just may be a LeMans.

You should see the other guy...

Re: Just kicking tires....
I want to start this with "I love my Dad". Now the funniest thing he ever said to me was " Son, how did you get all those foot prints on the ceiling of your car"? ,as I took him for a ride in my SS. Not realizing at the time but looking back now I can see and understand that Dad never had a car when he was a teenager. It was an honest question not a joke. Dad I love you.Jumptrout51 wrote:My first was a "66 Chevy Nova SS,midnight blue.

Re: Just kicking tires....
Ferris, those are high dollar cars. Well out of my price range. I recently purchased a '77 Nova. I'll post some pictures in about 6 months. 
What was I supposed to do today?

Re: Just kicking tires....
They are, relatively speaking.
I'd like to see that '77 when you're through.

I looked at the website you got the pictures from. That '63 might be a heck of a deal if you can live with the minor changes.

Re: Just kicking tires....
If you accept the fact it's a driver, not necessarily a collectible, I agree with you. If you take care of it, you'll get your money back.tin can wrote:It'll be a while.ferris1248 wrote:They are, relatively speaking.
