ROLLIN' IN MY SIX-FO! (Chapter 1)
KC Classic Cars is well known for our super nice, high quality "first to see/first to buy" vintage rides and unmatched personalized customer service, so it's a rare treat for us to find a "project" car that also meets our standards, but that's exactly what we have in this awesome 1964 CHEVROLET IMPALA we've just acquired. And in the next post (chapter), we'll tell you exactly why we feel that way.
Found in the Liberty, MO area, this car has been off the road for the past 10+ years, neatly tucked into the suburban garage of its 87-year old previous owner, who felt it was time to let someone else run this car's final mile to its restoration finish line. The seller (we'll call him 'Ron') has owned this car since 1993, and after talking extensively with him, we're confident the car has been in good hands. He's done an impressive amount of work on what was an extremely clean, unmolested car to begin with, and these were primary reasons for us taking it on.
Painted in the rarely seen color of "Lagoon Aqua Poly," the Impala also boasts an arresting aqua colored interior. With the white painted top providing just the right amount of contrast, Impala enthusiasts will appreciate seeing one that isn't the standard red, white, or black. And for those wondering, no, it is not a Super Sport model (more of those exist today than were ever built new!), and we intend to keep it that way, feeling the car will have more value to its ultimate owner staying true to its origins.
We definitely have our work cut out for us, but with a little help from Nate at Henson Automotive, we hope its mechanical needs are few and manageable, as the car appears to be a frame-off restoration that just got stalled before it could be completed. Here are a few teaser pics from where we discovered it, with more pics and details to come. Stay tuned, and be sure to leave your questions and comments below!
