Big block surprise. 600 cars, together with Bubba, together with Katy Perry. Speechless. It was almost Thanksgiving together with I constitute myself staring at a 1964 Chevrolet Impala carriage amongst a 409 engine inwards a champaign amount of classic cars near Oxford, Mississippi. So much to see, but this auto stopped me inwards my tracks.
  Bubba together with his wife, Allyson, (a genuine Katy Perry look-alike), emailed an invite to the Junkyard Life crew to come together with visit their vast backwoods auto collection. They fifty-fifty encouraged us to drag along a tow dolly, inwards example nosotros saw some rusty golden that nosotros might desire to buy. Finding exclusively 1 derelict dream auto amid hundreds was the problem. After a fantabulous tour together with four-hour junkyard hike, the 409 Impala wagon was at the give of my tow-worthy list. An master copy 409 Impala amongst pure patina, together with it’s a wagon! Let’s accept a closer look.

Mississippi auto collector has 600 cars scattered across his property, amid them a 409-equipped 1964 Impala wagon.

More than meets the eye
  The tour came to a halt when the 409 emblems were spotted. At laid out glance, it simply looked similar a cool, quondam wagon from the X-frame era of GM’s full-size chassis. Decades of life out inwards the elements left few traces of metallic Fawn pigment clinging to the flanks of the long roof ’64 Chevy. 
  I asked Bubba for permission to elevator the hood to consider what nosotros hoped was the big block W-engine. Despite junkyard dreaming, nosotros didn’t expect to consider the original 340hp 409 engine nether the hood. Who would believe us? Sitting inwards a champaign is an master copy 409 Impala 4-door carriage amongst the displace develop intact.

Chevy 409 engines are seldom seen at auto shows, or cruise-ins, together with never seen during our typical junkyard adventuring. This is the base of operations L-33 340hp 409 engine that was equipped on all automatics.

 History lesson
  This ’64 Impala was exceptional ordered as a service vehicle. No nurture seat. Perhaps a funeral habitation looking to boogie downward amongst the Beach Boys ‘409’ song? 
  “The wagon sat on the dealer lot, ordered without a backseat together with without carpet but loaded amongst other options,” said Bubba. “It had power steering, power brakes together with tilt column. The dealer eventually had to add the nurture topographic point to sell the car.”
  Despite the decades of fail together with a few parts stolen yesteryear a local parts thief, the 409 carriage begs for a restoration. Bubba thinks the auto had less than 100,000 miles on it when he bought it. The tag on the rear bumper was registered inwards 1988.

Junkyard Life brother, Keith Lively, together with Bubba beak large block 409 horsepower.

Load her up, wait...
  Trying to operate out a bargain amongst a guy who has collected hundreds of classic cars is no slowly task. I tried bundling some other ’64 SS Impala that he owned into a deal. The SS had a ameliorate trunk together with interior, plus Bubba exclusively wanted the SS for its displace train. Those negotiations never got off the ground. The trailer came habitation empty. 
  We enjoyed the trip together with constitute too many dream auto projects to count. Maybe, next fourth dimension the sleeper station carriage 409 comes habitation with me? Or the Road Runner, or the ’56 Ford, or the AMC Rebel, or the ’Cuda, or the GTO... ?
