Professionally restored and powered by an era-correct Chevrolet V8, this impressive Impala SS is the kind of fully sorted cruiser that you can fire up, press the go pedal and road trip across the country in!

Logging only weekend miles since its complete, frame-off restoration, this top-of-the-line Chevy displays immaculate bodywork that simply glistens under our bright showroom lighting. A lot of time and effort was put into making sure this big cruiser was extremely straight, which resulted in chiseled sheetmetal that's completely wave-free. That time was well spent as better-than-factory panel gaps perfectly center hinged pieces which move freely and close with a solid thunk. And those thunks are bathed in a rich layer of correct Ermine White basecoat that's been sealed in a rugged clearcoat and buffed to a smooth shine.

Powering this impressive sports coupe is a 283 cubic inch, era-correct V8 which wears a traditional 3756519 casting number behind a roster of correct equipment. At the top of that famous mill, a heavy duty, single-snorkel air cleaner forces oxygen into a large Magneti Marelli carburetor. Fuel and air flow from that proven 4-barrel into a factory iron intake that's bordered by factory Chevrolet heads and painted and decaled valve covers. Those valves send spent gases into correct, cast iron exhaust manifolds and a 2.5-inch, true-dual exhaust system that's characterized by a deep, vintage roar. That roar is the product of sparks sequenced from a familiar points distributor to trusted SuperMax plug wires. And those sparks are generated by pliable V-belts, which spin a modern alternator, a factory power steering pump and familiar Frigidaire AC components behind a correct fan and factory radiator.

That engine's power flows to the pavement through a familiar Muncie 4-speed, which spins a rebuilt GM rear end. Holding that virtually unbreakable transmission off the ground is a restored double A-arm front and 3-link rear suspension. That suspension's handling is greatly enhanced by factory power steering and power drum brakes, which are piped to a fresh master cylinder and equally fresh brake booster. And at the corners of the car, 14-inch steelies spin 8.00-14 BF Goodrich Silvertown whitewalls around striking Chevy center caps.

Covered in a contrasting red sheen, this Chevy's correct interior has been restored to factory-fresh condition in virtually every way. The SS-specific front bucket and rear bench seats feel newer than the car's 52 years would suggest. At the front of those seats, a restored dash, which is chock full of rebuilt gauges, carries what appears to be an original Delco radio. At the base of that dash, a stylish, SS-specific console centers a chrome shifter in from of a small, lockable storage compartment. And in front of the driver, a chrome-trimmed steering wheel spins around a classic, column-mounted Sun tach.

This fully sorted Super Sport is a wonderful car to drive, enjoy and haul three or four of your coolest friends in. Call, click or visit http://RKMotorsCharlotte.com for more information on this awesome Chevy!
