Launched in 1961 as a rather affordable package, the Super Sport package initially included only subtle upgrades. Available for $53, the SS slowly but surely evolved to become an iconic name not only in the Impala lineup but on several other Chevrolet nameplates, including the Nova and the Chevelle.
The GM brand knew the Super Sport legacy was gaining ground, so in 1963, the company picked it to celebrate a major milestone.
Chevrolet celebrated the production of its 50 millionth car, and the landmark vehicle was the Impala Super Sport. The event took place at the Tarrytown, New York assembly plant, and GM General Manager Semon Knudson stepped inside the car with none other than New York Governor Nelson Rockefeller behind the wheel. The model picked for the celebration was a 1963 Impala Super Sport.
The 1963 Impala SS convertible you see in these photos is a beautiful example of this model year, and while the car no longer wears the full factory setup, it's still a fantastic head-turning machine.
eBay seller roberto_the_seller says they redid the top and the interior, so if you're interested in an all-original Impala, you'll have to go there in person to inspect the quality of the job.
I won't comment much on its condition because it's clear this convertible needs only minor TLC, inviting you to jump behind the wheel on a sunny day and enjoy the classic road of the engine, but I can't stress enough how important it is to check everything thoroughly before committing to a purchase. The car spent its entire life with the same family, and the seller says they received the car from their father.
They claim they're a teacher and no longer have the time to take proper care of it, so it needs a new home where its condition can be preserved.
The engine under the hood (it's unclear if it's the factory unit) starts, runs, and drives, but it's worth knowing the seller's father has already rebuilt it.
You can imagine that an Impala SS convertible in this shape can't sell cheaply, albeit it's difficult to say if $85,000 is a fair price without first inspecting it in person. If you can't go to Madera, California, make sure you order a third-party inspection before committing to a purchase. I doubt they'll find any concerning problems, like rust or anything else, but an Impala this expensive should be all-original, complete, and unaltered.
The seller didn't enable the Make Offer button, meaning the price is firm. The car stays in the same place and never gets out, with the seller claiming they only start the engine once every couple of weeks to prevent the engine from locking up.
