409 Impala Parts Source
 

Does anyone know of the best vendor for interior and sheet metal parts for a 1963 409/425 Super Sport Impala? This car needs a fender and quarter panel. It also needs lots of interior parts and some stainless parts.
It's a nice original black/red car that deserves the best available. We're a little naive on the Impala parts market.

Thanks

Impala Bob's is way too high priced and the people there don't know an Impala from a Nash.
CARS for interior. Hubbard's for sheet metal. ebay or swap meets for misc interior and exterior stainless trim. Avoid as much repro trim as possible. None of it is really right. If the original stuff is there and not too bad, I'd suggest one of the outfits that strips, fixes, polishes and bright dips and re-annodizes original pieces.

If you believe the car is original, I'd like to document it.

Verne, the car is original. The second owner had the car from 1969 until 2005 and drag raced it on the East Coast. The pad is original as are the carbs. I can provide information in PM today or tomorrow. The front sheet metal is off the car, it is pretty amazing to see this worn original car

Bob,
It's a looong coast. I don't recall the car from this area.

Tim,
If you're willing to put some effort into documenting the car, PM me with your mailing address and I'll send you a set of forms to fill out. Also, please make sure and take many photos of it as it is now, prior to any restoration. Many restored cars fall under suspicion when the "pre-restoration" photos are not available.
I'll look forward to learning more about the car.
