Looks like a 283 V8 and powerglide. No power windows.
My brother Tom had one just like this one but three on the tree.

Congratulaions...I spent many nights in one of those in the 60's thru the 70's. A lot of fun.

For those who love old cars, please do not take this the wrong way. I assume you see beauty and experience nostalgia? I only see negatives. Could you list the reasons for owning a nearly 60 year old vehicle? I assume, again, that they are emotional and have nothing to do with practicality.
Weird question... Because its cool! Of course its not practical.

Looks like a beautifully restored vehicle. I call these "pet cars" -- cars you want but do not need. I have had several such cars that gave me great joy. Just looking at the engine, it may be original rather than the almost universally mandatory "350" replacement. Looks like it needs helper springs in the rear, however. I'm sure you will find great joy with this ride.
It is the original 283. It has hydraulics on it to raise it up and down.

Really nice car!
I had a friend back in 63 who got the same car, but in blue with the 409 engine, that puppy could move. You’re going to have a great time cruising around and going to car shows.
Is that a 383, or a 327?

Original 283. Just a cruiser.

Pretty car. Too bad it was turned into a low rider.
To each his own. That's what I wanted. Too bad you don't like lowriders.

That's a beauty but I think I would like it better with the suspension raised closer to stock height.
It already has hydraulics that will do that.

Couldn't help myself. Here are pics of a 64 Impala, a 67 Impala, a 60 Impala and an Impala of unknown year behind the models with the happy guy. Shortly after this pic was taken, the guy had a heart attack but recovered nicely. First one at car show in Seattle and the others in Southern California.
Nice! I grew with mini trucks and went to a lot of the Lowrider magazine shows.

Understood. What i meant was I would prefer it raised. Just my preference. Not meant as criticism.

The rear end is very low to the ground, is that on purpose? Sorry, my question is already answered.
