Continuing on with the Hooniverse Weekend Edition, I thought I would go over to the Wagons HO! Facebook page to see what was listed there, and look… Here is probably the most highly optioned 1963 Chevrolet Impala Wagon ever. The Wagon was listed on eBay, but failed to sell. I wonder why…
According to the listing:
At 340 HP and 420 lb-ft of torque, this 1963 Chevrolet Impala station wagon was one of the most deceptively quick grocery getters of its generation. Today it is also one of the most highly optioned 409 CI V-8 powered wagons known to exist. Stored indoors for a quarter century, it combines Chevrolet’s fabled “W”-head big block engine – complete with 4-barrel carburetor and dual exhaust – with a sturdy Powerglide 2-speed automatic transmission and a Positraction rear axle for solid, reliable performance around town and on the open road. Finished in Marine Aqua with a White roof and sporting the spacious, crisply styled interior that helped make the early Sixties Impalas so popular with the motoring public, this is one very classy automobile that further benefits visually with the inclusion of full size spinner wheel covers, Whitewall tires, front grille guard and Blue tinted glass all around.
Oh yes – and those “409” crossed-flag front fender badges, too. The Impala was available with a long list of optional equipment that has been taken full advantage of in this example. Mechanical extras include power steering, power brakes and factory air conditioning, while the interior is accessorized with a padded dash, power windows and seats, a power tailgate and push-button radio. That is a lot of car, but it typifies the abundance of style and functionality embodied in the 1963 Impala, and with a believed-accurate 39,500 miles on the odometer, it still has many years of enjoyment to offer its next proud owner.
The Wheel Covers on this Impala Wagon are wrong, as the 3-blade spinners were an SS option only, otherwise, it’s just about perfect. The Buy-It-Now price was an astonishing $39,500, but maybe it is worth it. What do you think? See the listing here: [sc:ebay itemid=”290933834698″ linktext=”1963 Chevrolet Impala Wagon” ]
