Re: Edman Lis' 1963 Impala SS Convertible
Now that is a beautiful car! Original, untouched 409's just seem to be so far and few between. My father built and raced '09's back in the day and I've spent so much time around them that they will always be my first love. Have to say that the '409' in grease pencil on the firewall is the first time I've ever seen that. You seein' this, Verne?

Re: Edman Lis' 1963 Impala SS Convertible
Now that has wow factor, a true time capsule. Amazingly untouched with all the patina and provenance you could ask for. Thanks for sharing...

Re: Edman Lis' 1963 Impala SS Convertible
------What a beautiful 63!!! Original red on red cars are just so rare and then the 409 and three pedals,,,,,whoa! Grew up somewhat close to where this car was bought new and can tell you guys from more affluent areas of the country that the fella that ordered this SS was very likely the only guy around with a deeeeluxe ride like this. The rust dissolving stuff that we have been talking about here on the sight would seem to me to be the next step.......Bill S

Re: Edman Lis' 1963 Impala SS Convertible
Wow...what a nice car. I'm learning more about the 409's as everyone I know is crazy about them. Went for my first ride in one a few weeks ago and it was quite a car.

Re: Edman Lis' 1963 Impala SS Convertible
Wow...Great car. I would treat the underside with a can of Boeshield just to further preserve it.Amazing that nobody has messed or fluffed a thing that I can see. Thanks for sharing it.

Re: Edman Lis' 1963 Impala SS Convertible
Yes, I certainly am looking..
Edman, Very nice car!!!!  Good docs! I'm also a little surprised to see the "409" pencil on the firewall. I'm also a bit surprised to see a T-10 in a car that late. They started shipping Muncies to the plants in Feb. '63. Do you have service records for the car? The reason I ask is the power brake booster and master cyl are not the type the assembly plant would have installed, so I'm wondering if it was replaced in service. How about posting a picture of the cowl tag? Have you ever pulled the rear back to look for a built sheet? Is the VIN derivative stamped on the engine pad? There should also be a VIN on the trans case, just behind the side cover. Verifying those items would nail down the provenance of the car tight!  Sorry for so many questions, but these cars intrigue me.  Verne
