Interesting 409/425hp '63 Impala, Stored Since '73

[scuncio]

This looks to be a cool find, still sporting a number of speed parts from the early 1970s. Unfortunately, I see no mention of docs so the seller's "matching numbers" claim would have to be verified. At $10,600 with no reserve, I think it's priced pretty nicely at the moment, but I'm assuming it will get to $20k or more before the auction is over.

What a cool set of headers.

It could turn out to be a real one. The seller needs to post a photo of the deck stamp.

Does look promising - seller’s 50% positive feedback could be problematic!

101 feedbacks with 50% bad feed. Has only 2 bad in past year but can’t see the rest of his prior feedbacks

This is a pretty cool beast! So, for those that don’t know (me), how would one know this is the real deal?

As I said, a look at the deck stamp by someone who knows the difference between a real one and a fake. Ask someone who's studied them for almost 40 years...if you can find him.

Looking close, it might be a legit '09 but it has a 340hp balancer. It was run hard. The rear was changed. It's from a '59-'62.
