My Beautiful Almost 60 year Old Impala SS

Wow, that's one beautiful automobile and well photographed too. I had a friend who had a '64 Impala, 409cu.in., 409hp, 4-speed, 4.56:1. He only drove it one way and that was hard. Both he and the car survived, but sold it after a year or so. He couldn't afford the gas.

If you remember back in 1961 the Beach boys sang about my car do you remember 409?

I’m jealous and full of envy .....
I bet when you get down on the throttle you can see the gas needle dropping!

We used to do the opposite - “downbadge” the car and surprise the unwary looking for an impromptu race.

One of the best ever..... Great car and great photos. That's worth around 60 grand today. Thanks for showing it off.

Thank you for your kind words however my particular car because if it’s rarity it’s a super sport has factory air conditioning and it’s a convertible makes it’s worth somewhere in the six-figure range

Here’s an ad from the Barrett Jackson auction‘s for an impala similar to mine doesn’t have air-conditioning and it’s a standard impala not a super sport look what it went for
