1964 Chevrolet Impala

The big "Jet Smooth" Chevrolet Impala, Bel air and Biscayne returned for 1964 stronger than ever with the new squared-up styling. With much popularity the full-sized Chevy line-up was known for its glamour and comfort all the way down to its performance. The Impala remained the top of the line model offering, followed by the mid-line Bel Air and then the affordable Biscayne. Production continued to soar. The Impala was separated into its own model making it the second most expensive Chevrolet for 1964. Standard equipment included most of what was available for lower models plus extra thick foam cushion seat, bright aluminum front seat end panels, bright instrument panel insert with nameplate molding, electric clock, parking brake warning light, Impala center emblem on steering wheel, and special padded arm rests for front and rear seats. It came as a 4dr Sedan, 4dr Hardtop Sport Sedan, 2dr Hardtop Sport Coupe, 2dr Convertible, and 4dr Station Wagon (6 passenger and 9 passenger). For the 425-hp 409 added were the Twin 4 barrel carburetors. Impact-extruded pistons. Forged steel connecting rods and five-main-bearing crankshaft. Cast alloy iron camshaft. And two heads fitted with lightweight valves. Mechanical valve lifters. Dual exhausts, special clutch, and heavy-duty radiator and suspension, among others. For the tamer 340-hp and 400-hp 409's, tamer bits and pieces were used. You could tuck a 425-hp Turbo-Fire 409 V8 into any 1964 Chevrolet Biscayne, Bel Air, Impala or Impala Super Sport. And choose low gear ratios of 2.56:1 or 2:20:1 with the 4-Speed all synchro shift. With the 2.20:1 gear ratio you can get 4.11:1 or 4.56:1 Positraction High Performance axle ratios
