I don’t know about you, readers, but when I’m looking at cars that are up for sale or for auction, there are things I’d like to know so that I can make an informed decision about the vehicle I am possibly preparing to purchase. I want to know about the powertrain, the modifications, the history of the car…at least as much as is known, anyways.Why? Because I’ve made emotional vehicle purchases and they have bitten me in the ass, that’s why. I want to know all that there is to know. The only time I’ve purchased a car based simply upon “It’s so pretty!” or “It’s so cool!” I lost my ass, badly. 
Now, do me a favor and stare at this 1963 Chevrolet Impala for a minute. Outside of details like the wheels not being your cup of tea, do you need to know anything about this car, really? Do you care if it’s a real Super Sport or just a clone? Do you need details on that beast sitting in the engine bay wearing it’s Littlefield blower or are you okay with learning as you go? Are you picking out every last detail you don’t like in an argument to keep your bid lower, or are you willing to sell the farm for the chance to treat the neighborhood to the sound of one very pissed-off Chevrolet giving the neighbors yet another reason to leave flaming bags of stuff on your doorstep?
What do I need to know? Someone has the keys and I don’t, and that problem needs to be rectified.
I struggle with the Pro Street (engine) and Pro Touring (wheels/tires) mashup. Pick one. Can’t go wrong either way. Car looks like it was done to a very high level nonetheless.
SHR is right. The main thing is that the car was done right. Someone spending their own money ought to be sharp enough to spot it when one isn’t. Then, of course; is one’s budget!
Those bumpers are horrible. Spend all that money and then too cheap to re-chrome them. If you ever go to a Mecum auction or a B-J and actually look at the cars, most are a blow and glow. Big dissapointments.
My family had a ’63 SS (new)–some of my best memories as a kid of their cars, really like this one, yes many little things not to my taste, but I’d figure it out if this suddenly was mine, should be interesting to see what it goes for.
Wheels and the stance kill it for me.
I cant believe lm gonna say this…… get rid of the blower! and put it on something else, then put a hood on on this car! A little taller tires betcha it’ll go for more money!
Rubber band tires…. ridiculous.
Whoever built that could screw up a one man rock fight.
What get rid of the blower? Imagine your a kid and your with your mom! It’s you your two brother’s and your 16 year old sister’s sitting shotgun. Your Mom’s yelling out the window at the traffic signal. Cause it’s been red for a sick minute. All of the sudden you and your brother’s notice a strange sound what’s that noise? you yell to your mom. Then the three of you raise up turn your heads to the left. And all at once blurted that word my Mom hated us saying every time me and my bother’s were in the car our parents and would see a “BITCH’N” ride. Bitch’n mom look at that! That thing’s loud mom as she’s rolling her window up.you can feel the little wagon your mom’s driving is ready to fall apart. From the rumble of that beast of a motor you and your brother’s can’t take your eyes off of. The driver of this monster you notice is eyeing your mother and sister.At them you see them smiling back at this young guy. And at that moment in your life you realize. If I drive a bitch’n car all the ladies will think I’m bitch’n too! So if you take away the blower this kid might end up growing up to be. Some wussy girly man writing you guy’s on here.stating oh they should take the blower off and put a normal hood on it. Some peoples kids just don’t get it ya know Haaaaahaaa lateeeeeeeer!
