1963 Chevrolet Impala by Roadster Shop // Bring A Trailer Video Tour

The 1963 Chevrolet Impala built by *Roadster Shop* as part of their *“Survivor Series”* is a masterclass in blending classic looks with modern performance. Known as *Barry’s ’63 Impala*, the project started with a beautifully restored original Impala Sport Coupe. Rather than reimagining its appearance, Roadster Shop preserved the car’s iconic exterior and trim, focusing all their engineering effort beneath the skin. The result is a car that looks like a well-kept classic but drives like a modern performance machine — the essence of the Survivor Series philosophy. Underneath, the Impala rides on a *Roadster Shop Fast Track chassis* built specifically for 1958–64 full-size Chevrolets. This modern frame brings with it tubular control arms, a four-link rear suspension, coilovers, rack-and-pinion steering, and Baer disc brakes. Power comes from a *6.2-liter LS3 V8* producing around *480 horsepower**, paired with a **Tremec T56 six-speed manual transmission* and a *Strange Engineering nine-inch rear end**. To handle the newfound grip, the rear wheel tubs were discreetly widened by about 4.5 inches per side, accommodating massive **Forgeline RS6 wheels* — 19×9.5 inches in front and 20×12 in the rear — wrapped in Diamondback Classic Redline tires. Despite the serious upgrades, Roadster Shop retained the Impala’s clean, understated aesthetic. The car still looks period-correct, with all its original chrome and trim intact, and only subtle hints — like its stance and wheel fitment — suggest what lies beneath. Inside, the theme continues: a largely stock-appearing cabin updated with hidden modern conveniences such as stealth power window switches and contemporary electronics. This ’63 Impala exemplifies what the Roadster Shop’s Survivor Series is all about — honoring the design and character of a vintage car while giving it 21st-century performance, comfort, and reliability. It’s a full-size cruiser that looks like it rolled out of 1963 but drives like a brand-new performance car, offering the best of both worlds: nostalgia and modern capability.
