As a diehard Impala fan, I admit that ignoring a Super Sport is nearly impossible. It doesn’t even matter if it’s in tip-top shape or close to becoming a rust bucket, a Super Sport always flexes a special head-turning appeal that few models in Chevy’s lineup also boast.
It’s why this Super Sport’s struggle to find a new home surprised me. I first wrote about this 1963 Impala a few months ago when it landed on eBay, trying to find a new home and presenting an incredible package.
It’s a survivor with low miles and a big-block engine under the hood, so theoretically, it has everything it needs to sell in minutes.
It didn’t happen, likely due to the owner’s high pricing expectations. The Impala is available on eBay for a second time, and this time, it’s hours away from finding a new home.
This survivor wears the original paint, though the owner says it has already received occasional fixes. It looks good, but you’ll have to inspect it thoroughly.
The engine under the hood is the big-block 409, available on the 1963 Impala in three engine choices. The base version produced 340 horsepower, while the mid-range configuration was rated at 400 horsepower. The top choice came with a dual four-barrel carburetor setup and generated 425 horsepower.
The no-reserve bidding for this Super Sport is now in the final hours, with the top offer exceeding $41K. It’s a fair price for a 1963 Impala SS in such great shape, and considering the 409 big block under the hood, I wouldn’t be surprised if more bidders joined the digital fight at the last minute. You can find this Impala in Greenville, South Carolina, but it’s safe to say that you’re running out of time to inspect it in person
