Abandoned 1963 Chevy Impala SS 4-speed pulled out of the woods after 40 years. The Junkyard Life Rescue team, led by Keith Lively, hustled into action in the backwoods of Alabama. All it took to rescue the onetime gold Impala was a chainsaw, a monster Jeep and a tractor. The Impala SS was among a small hoard of mostly Chevrolet iron that was left for dead in the 1970s after their engines were snagged for roundy-round racing. A 1970 Chevelle, several Vegas, one Chevy II, and a 1967 Bel Air 2-door post were hauled home.
The 1963 Impala was a true SS with bucket seats and a 4-speed. Score! It took Keith a couple of years of occasional checking in with the property owner to get hold of this gaggle of Chevrolet goodness, but he did it! The Impala has so many great parts and even a spare set of bucket seats in the trunk. We want to see this classic brought back to life! Stay tuned to Junkyard Life for more.

My grandfather owned a junkyard when I was a kid. Almost makes me cry now to think about some of the cars I saw go to the crusher

Love seeing this! My grandfather had a 65 Impala and now I've got one. Had it brought in from Seattle to Pittsburgh. My and my brother are currently getting it street-worthy again. It'll take some work and money, but it's worth it.

The 63' IMPALA is my favorite IMPALA. I was 6 yrs old when that car was new. Our neighbor down the street had a brand new 63' SS 409 4sp. Not to be outdone, my Pop bought a new 65' GTO in late 64'.....lol

Had two of these when I was young. First one got painted Corvette Cortez Silver, second one was Corvette Bronze. Loved those cars. I still have pictures of these cars, somewhere, or maybe my ex has them.
