'63 Impala #s 409/425hp Convertible

[scuncio]

Not a hell of a lot of information in the auction...it annoys me how a seller can't be bothered to write anything in excess of two sentences describing a car he clearly expects to get big dollars for.

In any case, this one sold for $66k at the 2019 Barrett Jackson auction and was claimed to have 'matching numbers' and original mileage totaling less than 18k. If both claims are true, this could be a really special find. Power windows, too....

Looks like a lot of wiring handy work under the dash going on for a low mile car.

I don't know where you found those extra photos. They aren't on the auction. I sent the seller a note asking for more photos but so far, nothing. The main thing would be the deck stamping.
I don't understand why people are bidding $60K without seeing a lot more of the car.

The photos were on the Barrett-Jackson webpage.

The more I look at those photos, the more I question the unrestored "unmolested" claims.

The car has been relisted with more photos. One photo is of the cowl tag, which unfortunately is a repro. There is no way to know how this car was originally built.
