Car pics too cool not to share

In a Hemmings article yesterday, something more my flavor. '63 Chevy with 409 and 4-speed.

A neighbor of mine had a similar car, but his was a 2-dor hardtop Impala. A brown 409-425hp 4-speed car like the one above. He actually stumbled into the car in '64. Story was that a "revenue man" had special ordered the car for chasing certain tax dodgers, but he was killed in a chase a week or so before the car was delivered, and it wound up sitting at the local dealership for a awhile until my neighbor bought it. It had been put out to pasture by the time I was a kid and some guy from Florida wound up buying it. If only he had kept it 10 more years I'd have been beating down his door trying to get my hands on that car.
