This unbelievable 1964 Chevrolet Impala 409/425hp Dual Quad V8 4-spd Convertible is truly one of the best known examples to exist. It has been fully documented by 1958-1964 Chevrolet Impala expert Verne Frantz of JV Engineering. The documented letter is included. This car was owned by the last owner since 1965. A notarized letter from this owner and the original title from 1969 are included. This car retains the original VIN tag, trim tag, major sheet metal, black with black color combination, 409/425hp Dual Quad V8 engine and 4:11 rear end. It was restored by well-known Show Car Automotive who won the Ridler Award in 2020. This car has won many significant awards including a six time Chevy Vettefest “Gold Spinner Concourse”, two time Late Great Chevy “Award of Excellence” and “Showcase” and Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals “Concours Gold”. This is the “Holy Grail”!
In 1992, Bob decided to have the car professionally restored. The car only had mileage in the 40’s when the restoration started. He sent the car to well-known Show Car Automotive because they had a great reputation for Impalas and do amazing black paint jobs. They still specialize in quality reproduction of 348-409 Chevrolet parts for 1958-1964 passenger cars. They also still do amazing black paint jobs. Matter of fact, they just won the Ridler Award for 2020 with a black 1963 Chevrolet 2-door Station Wagon. This was the first black car to ever win the Ridler Award.
The exterior of this car is car is absolutely beautiful in every sense of the word. Sometimes classic cars just do the talking and this is one of those cars. This car retains most of its original sheet metal and is extremely straight. Many Impalas don’t have straight bodies because of the amount of sheet metal. The gaps in the body are great. The hood, doors and deck lid function beautifully. The body was painted in its original color of Tuxedo Black which dresses this car perfectly. The paint has recently been cut and buffed to a show quality shine. The paint only has a few tiny imperfections with the largest one being a spot on the hood that is the size of a pencil eraser. It’s hard to imagine this paint job is almost 25 years old. It goes to show the quality work that Show Cars Automotive does. The car sports a white power convertible top which breaks up the black exterior and interior. The white top also matches the white body side moldings and white wall tires.
The interior of this car is also beautiful in every sense of the word. The interior is actually very spacious and comfortable. Although the interior did have some pieces restored a lot of pieces are original. Remember this car only had mileage in the 40’s prior to the restoration. Bob remembered some of the original pieces included the gauges, steering wheel, door panels and back seat but can’t be exact based on the time-frame of when it was restored. The power convertible top works very smoothly. The sun visors, rear view mirror, dash, dash hardware, gauges, steering wheel, door panels, door hardware, seats, shifter and carpeting is very nice. Everything in the interior is in working order such as the lights, gauges, clock, radio, heating system, horn etc. Even the cold engine light works! It has the correct style rubber floor mats.
The engine compartment is of this car is highly detailed throughout with many correct parts. The firewall, inner fenders and radiator support were finished in black. The car is powered by the original matching numbers 409/425hp Dual Quad V8 engine. The engine pad numbers are as follows: J281151 T0408 QB. The first set of numbers match this car’s last six digits of the VIN number. As quoted from Impala expert Verne Frantz of JV Engineering, “this engine was casted on February 22nd, 1964 and the final assembly was on April 8th, 1964. The engine has the original correct 583 heads. The intake casting number is #3814881. It still retains the original Carter AFB dual carburetors with the original tags that are dated January 1964. Verne Frantz had looked at this car over 20 years ago at a car show and spoke to Bob about it as indicated in the notarized letter that Bob provided.
The undercarriage of this car is also highly detailed throughout with many correct parts. This undercarriage is nice enough to display with mirrors at a car show. The entire underside was finished in the correct red oxide color. All of the steering, suspension and braking components were restored or replaced.
This authentic 1964 Chevrolet Impala 409/425hp Dual Quad V8 4-spd Convertible is truly one of the best. This is a golden opportunity to purchase a car that doesn’t exist anywhere else but right here, right now.

Super nice, beautiful car That is my dream car right there. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯
My grandpa left me a 1964 triple black impala SS 409/425 when he passed away. I was 16, didn’t know any better. I sold it. Kick myself in the ass everyday for that. Hoping one day to buy it back! Beautiful car!
dum dum
I bought one restored it ,cherry. Had it for 22 years,promised it to my then 4 year old son when he graduated,well he graduated and kept me to my word. It was 1964 SS red on red had the original 327 rebuilt blue printed and balanced. After graduation I gave him the car,he sold it without my knowledge 11months later for 10k. I could've strangled him,but he's lucky I love him unconditionally. I almost cried....
Sounds like a beautiful car, sad to see it was sold!
I guess it was his to do as he wanted with it .
Speaking for myself I wouldn't have sold something my father cherished and passed along to me .
A beautiful classic.
Sharing that!
Thanks!!!
That is one '64 convertible that I'd like to have, a flip top with all the right stuff. They were rated at 425@6000 rpm. I'm pleasantly surprised. Last year I had one guy tell me that 409s quit producing horsepower at 5500 rpms so then the '62 409/409 was later rated at that with a question mark and threw out this bummer story about them not doing what everyone wanted them to do and if best tuned maybe put out high 300s. This video debunks that, GOOD. 432 is still a little above the 425. And subtract 5 horsepower if it's a power steering and manual brakes car, which this one isn't, would still leave it with 427, 2 horsepower more than the 425. One '63 SS coupe did 0-60 in 6.6 and a 15.2 1/4 mile with the 340 horse 409 and powerglide auto., power steering, power brakes, and 3.36 limited slip. That was in 1963. So, no one can say these 409s weren't for real. And I took it on myself to show that one guy verification that the 409s in '62 still outperformed 406 Fords which had a general rule of mid15s quarters out of the showroom whether they were tri-power or not. So, if the 409s were overrated then they were all overrated.
I used to have one. Its like its mine everytime I see a 64.
They are great cars
I had one it was what Chevy called Daytona Blue. Mine had a 327 though. How much do you want for this gem?
We currently have this listed for $175,000.
@@MSClassicCars woe
I had just about every chevy 60s thru 76 caprice models.. HT and convertibles.. dealers are over pricing bringing private sales along.. I can afford just anything. But I wouldn't pay current pricing .. I have SS 409 fully loaded which I bought january 2021 for 19k needing nothing other than buffing out original paint.. an unrestored car is worth much more than something like this which I would pay no more than 35k
Thanks for the comment! We sold this for $100k more than what you said you would pay for it. This was a highly sought after and collectible car with outstanding ownership history. It was with the second owner for many years as mentioned in the video/description.
@@MSClassicCars congratulations to you for obtaining that some and condolences to the buyer. Mine is not a holy grail as it one of many 409s 4 on the floor black on black documented 11k plus miles at Jones Chevrolet in Whittier California factory A/C. Power windows including power vent windows, vacuum trunk release, cruise control, factory tachometer, continental kit, wire spinner hub caps, power steering and factory skirts.. its in pristine condition that Volo, vanguard to name a few have been after to purchase it and offered my huge amount for it being I paid 19k for it recently. I will never ask anyone to pay more than what I paid for it when the time comes. Shoot I just sold my 69 427 convertible for 10k in number 2 condition which I paid 15 hundred for from the original owner having little over 35k miles.. my 68 FB GT 390 S code with 58k two owner car in perfect condition on 1 repaint done at Montebello Ford was purchased for 85 hundred.. just goes to show what one can obtain.. but in the coming decades gasoline cars will drop like hail storms as technology moves forward with electric vehicles as gas becomes even more expensive that only select people will have the funds to operate them.. case en point, im paying almost 10 buck to run my 68 and 69 RS on 102 octane..
