Thread: Moredoor Family Ride

Tweet

I just closed the deal on this today. A friend of mine has had it for about 3 months. Lost interest and I traded him out of it. It is a pretty cool ride. I thought about putting it on ebay and just selling it. But I'm convinced to keep it, fix it up, and drive it as a family ride. It will more than likely be a car my wife can drive. It is a 63 Impala 4 door hard top, sport sedan. 327 4bbl powerglide. Power steering, power brakes, A/C. What a cool car. This is the closest thing to a SS a 4 door car could get. He checked the numbers and it is the original 327 and it still has the power pack heads. It has one rusty floor pan, and needs 2 new body mounts under the trunk. The PO before my friend added an electric fuel pump too. My plan is to install a new mechanical lift pump and maybe an HEI. My friend is going to install the floor pan inlieu of some other trading we have done. The interior could use some arm rests, carpet, and seat belts. Maybe a newer radio and some speakers. Once it comes home, over the winter I'd like to fix the rust in the lower quarters and front fenders and give it a Maaco paint job. Maybe different wheels, and a good clean up. It needs some brake work, and the AC system needs repaired and retrofitted to 134a possibly. I'd like to make it into a nice driver. It is a 4 door, but a pretty cool one in my opinion.
