63 409 Impala on Ebay??
 

Got a buddy that is looking for a 63 Impala SS. Anyone seen this car or these pictures before??

63 Impala SS

Looks sort of scammy to me, but it might be real. Everyone has to have a first auction but why does it have to be a 409..... and so far away. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

------To you guys in the know on 62/3/4s, is that a factory radio block off plate??? Looks like home made, but I cant remember the last time Ive seen a 63 no radio car........Bill S

Bill,
The radio block off is from a Biscayne or Belair (no trim). IT should match the other dash trim. Green floors? That's a new one. Appears to have had a cowl air breather set-up and now is blocked off. Also noticed the wrong bell housing. Very odd the seller says he wants 11K for a completely restored car. Sounds very fishy. It is a nicely detailed car though with nice equipment. Should be worth 3-4 times that.(even with the errors)

PS: wish I could see the cowl tag....

Looks scammy alright but you never know?.
That statement of "The price I hope to obtain on this vehicle is 11,200" is a good sign someones looking for a quick deposit forwarded to them by someone (or more) excited guys in a rush?.
Also using 'the real deal' etc. in their ad seems off for a seller who mentions the low expected amount...maybe the ad's been 'lifted' from a previous auction?.

That's has GOT to be a complete scam. You could sell fifty of those at 11.2 and have guys lined up down the street to buy 500 more.

Shouldn't that have a screw top master cyl?

Re: 63 409 Impala on Ebay??
 

Yep! That's one of the most annoying restoration mistakes I see on '62s & '63s. They put tons of time and $$$ into a nut & bolt restoration, then go to NAPA and buy a master!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/hmmm.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/hmmm.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/hmmm.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...thumbsdown.gif
Just dumb!

BTW, that master on my '62 is still the original (even though I added the dealer booster kit)

I agree. Don't be surprised if the auction ends early. I did check all my records, including a separate dbase on every ebay car (58-64) that's been listed for the last 3 years, and the VIN doesn't turn up, so I can't add any history to it.

Luckily for me I can spot 409 clone "mistakes" a mile away. My dad did 409's for years and was involved in clubs etc and taught me every single little detail when it comes to those cars. I wouldn't be surprised if it had the small fuel line too.
