1964 Chevrolet Impala SS 409 V8 Palomar Red with Satin Silver interior
The ultimate heavy Chevy of the 1960s has to be the 1964 Impala SS, and of those, there's nothing more appealing than a sinister 409 hardtop like this. It's a real SS powered by a period-correct 409 V8, features a quick-shifting 4-speed manual, an elegant Satin Silver interior, and that gorgeous Palomar Red tuxedo wrapped around laser-straight Imp livery. And because the full restoration was finished just this year, it looks like a shiny new toy that was just unwrapped. This stunning hardtop delivers maximum doses of Chevy performance and luxury, and is quite frankly one of the cleanest and meanest Imp's we've ever had the good fortune to feature. Bright Red is typically what most folks envision when they think about a hot '64 Imp, and the next best thing is the elegant Code 948 Palomar Red that cloaks this legendary B-Body from General Motors. During the comprehensive restoration that was just completed in 2022, the sweeping bodywork was straightened, smoothed, and sanded to perfection before several coats of that classic maroon shade were reapplied. And thankfully, the gorgeous car doesn't appear to have ever had any rust, never had any collision damage, and when it was restored it was almost entirely put back together using original and OEM-style parts. It's the right choice for a '64 Impala, which is an icon that offers a unique combination of performance and comfort – a kind of grown-up's muscle car. Ultra-straight sheetmetal is especially critical on the Imp, what with those impossibly long quarters and straight lines that demand care when putting everything back together again. And as such a clean car before the restoration, you know that the beauty is more than just skin deep. The top driver-quality paint has a brilliant shine, is miles deep, and incredibly smooth to the touch, with nary an imperfection to speak of short of maybe some very light scratches left over from a car wash – but we're really nitpicking here, and a solid buff-and-wax would likely remedy any of those anyway. It's also good to see that this one is a real SS and comes by its ornate trim honestly instead of being some kind of clone, the chrome grille and bright bumpers are in excellent condition, and the dual antennas out back are an old-school staple of the Imp. Triple taillights still signified something special, while that Impala logo on the flanks has always inspired and intimidated other motorists, and this car captures all of that brilliantly.
