This 1964 Chevrolet Impala SS Convertible is a stunning example of a classic American cruiser, finished in Ember Red with a silver interior and a powered black convertible top. Power is provided by a replacement 327ci V8 engine, paired with a 4-speed manual transmission, which was converted from the original Powerglide automatic by a prior owner. A correct 4-speed center console and tachometer were installed to complete the conversion.

The Ember Red finish, estimated to be 10–15 years old, presents well with a consistent shine. The powered black convertible top is functional but requires manual assistance to fully close, and a top boot is included (noted to have splits on the inner seams). Bodywork is noted on the right rear quarter panel between the door jamb and wheel arch, and the lower half of the left rear quarter panel has been replaced. Steel wheels with factory covers complement the car’s classic look.

Inside, the cabin is trimmed in silver vinyl (805) with black carpets and a padded dash. A factory radio with a rear seat speaker and Impala-logo floor mats add to the period-correct appeal. Instrumentation includes a centrally mounted tachometer, a 120-mph speedometer, an analog clock, a fuel gauge, and warning lights. The odometer shows 71,000 miles, and a correct 4-speed center console enhances the car’s authenticity. Noted imperfections include a tear in the driver’s window seal near the door jamb.

Recent maintenance includes:

• Replacement of the water pump
• Oil and filter change
• Rear axle pinion seal replacement
• New front brake shoes and hardware
• Replacement of all wheel cylinders and brake master cylinder
• Brake system flush
• Lubrication of chassis zerk fittings

The X-frame chassis is in good condition, with detailed underside photos showcasing suspension components, body mounts, and the driveline. Some rust is noted near the body mount by the fuel filler and where the mount meets the frame. The seller also notes some seepage at the transmission and in the power steering system.

This 1964 Chevrolet Impala SS Convertible is a well-maintained example of an iconic American classic, offering a blend of timeless style and engaging driving performance. With its 327ci V8 engine, 4-speed manual transmission, and stunning Ember Red finish, it’s ready for its next owner to enjoy.
