1963 Chevrolet Impala Preview summaryImage

After a slight dip in production in 1962, the 1963 Chevrolet Impala came roaring back, with 153,271, with 16,902 with the 409. The SS weighed in at 3435, but a special racing package-the Z11-was created specifically for drag racing. It therefore lost 112 pounds by dropping part of a bumper and some insulation.

Perhaps the most interesting option in these cars were the "mystery" engines introduced at races in Daytona. They were close to the drag racing Z11's, but were supposedly even faster.

The base engine was a 283-ci V8 rated at 170 horsepower. Several options were available: 283-ci V8 (195 bhp), 327-ci V8 (250 bhp), 327-ci V8 (300 bhp), 409-ci V8 (340 bhp), 409-ci V8 (400 bhp), 409-ci (2x4 bbl) V8, and of course the Z11's 427-ci V8, rated at 430 horsepower.

Really just our car show car, even though it could use some cosmetic attention. 327ci engine under the hood, 2 speed transmission and is fun to drive when you want to show somethin off. Not really somethin i would race with but its always nice to cruise every once and a while. Its old, and requires repairs every once in a while. Looks good when your lookin at it from a distance, but it has some minor imperfections than hav accumulated recently.Oct 27, 2010

This pure white SS convertible was unbelievable. Somebody had dropped a 345 horse Corvette, Muncie 4 speed and 4.11 limited slip differential into this car. It had the Duntov cam with that beautiful whump, whump,whump sound. It still had 283 powerglide emblems on the side so everbody, even Ramblers, wanted to race me...beat them all!!!Feb 07, 2009
