409/340hp, 4-speed, wheel covers, narrow whitewalls, dual mirrors, power brakes, bucket seats, floor shift, tach, pushbutton AM radio.
Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
From the Monical collection. Lightly scratched up, possibly original chrome and brightwork. Sound paint other than light crazing and a few chips on the hood. Uneven trunk gaps. Light discoloration to the seats but otherwise very good interior. Older undercoated chassis. Big dent in the left rear fender. Finished in gorgeous colors and in ideal configuration, this SS 409 is better than your average driver but its flaws aren't to be overlooked.
Market commentary
The compromised cosmetics of this older restored '64 Impala SS 409 didn't go unnoticed by the Worldwide bidders but in the end the new owner got a highly attractive drivetrain in a car that doesn't need much, just a good new home where the appearance flaws can be overlooked in favor of the driving enjoyment. It is a good value at this price.
