RE: question about the SS
It sort of depends on what you mean by fast. There was a factory option on the 1963 and '64 Impala SS 409 - I forget everything you got but it included the 4-speed trans, the big (for the time) 409 engine, 2 x 4 barrel cross manifold, wicked cam, etc., and headers (which today, if original OEM, are worth nealry as much as the rest of the car), and a tight rear axle ratio. These cars could do 12.9 quarter milesin completely stock form -- as delivered from the factory. I remember, at age 15, watching a new SS do a 12.9 on its stock tires and then a 12.5 on slicks, which at the time was a truly awesome time for astreet car, much less a completely factory one). The downside is these cars had something like a 4.88 rear axle ratio and would only do about 115 mph top speed, which they could just reach in the 1/4 mile: so in those terms it was among the slowest SS models ever made.
