Friend's 1963 409 Impala convertible
My son's best friend came over to hang out, and his dad dropped him off in this car. I didn't know him that well, and had no idea he had this car. He said his aunt bought it, and it's been in the family all these years. To my untrained eye it was mostly original other than the radiator.

Definitely not the 425hp version if it had the Powerslide, but it seems to me they made a 400hp version in addition to the 340hp version. Not sure if the 400hp was available with automatic. Looks very nice regardless of engine!

The interior I think was way too nice to be original. I looked at the trim and it had the slight pitting here and there like original 50+ year old stuff.
I wanted to ask him if the car was originally white, I saw a spot where some paint was off the car and it looked black underneath. He said it runs hot on 90F days so I referred him to a buddy with a shop who could look it over. I think it had 14" wheels.

He showed me the engine, and it had a clutch fan like I would have expected, but newer radiator. Had this big ol' barrel of a shroud, wasn't actually touching the radiator edges. I'm going to google to see if it was stock. I'm going to ask him the miles and if it's numbers matching at some point.
