I don't know what's the deal with the '64, but it is a safe bet it was fast.

I kind of doubt this, but an Automobile Magazine (perhaps Motor Trend) reviewed the 1960 Impala SS, and reported a 0-60 time of 4.0 seconds!! Obviously either a typo, as nothing (certainly not of stock production class) went that fast 40 years ago, or this thing was putting down some serious power, considering the amount of mass it had to move. I would think that these stats would be widespread bragging material, and yet i've hardly ever heard a peep about them, so it's probably misinformation.. but then again you never know.....
