Travis Barker, the celebrated drummer known for his work with Blink-182 and his high-profile marriage within the Kardashian family, recently took his cherished custom '63 Chevy Impala for a ride around Calabasas, California. Unlike many celebrities who flaunt their vehicles without much attachment, Barker stands out as a genuine car enthusiast, boasting a diverse and carefully curated collection that reflects his love for both modern powerhouses and vintage classics.
Barker's affinity for automobiles extends beyond the typical celebrity penchant for flashy rides, marking him as a true collector. His collection, which has grown in tandem with his success, includes a variety of vehicles from hot new arrivals to custom vintage models, bicycles, and motorcycles. Each vehicle is maintained and driven with care, illustrating Barker's deep appreciation and respect for his automotive treasures.
Among the gems in Barker's garage is his '63 Chevy Impala, a vehicle that has been part of his collection since at least 2012. Despite not being a frequent feature on his social media, the Impala holds a special place in Barker's heart. This past weekend, following his return from a Blink-182 tour in Australia, Barker and his wife, Kourtney, were spotted enjoying a morning outing in the minty/pistachio-green convertible.
The Impala, which Barker acquired from his friend Huero, sits low on airbags and sports Cragar Supremes with white wall tires, complementing its striking exterior with a matching interior. Custom FSAS logos adorn the body, adding personal touches to this unmistakable vehicle. Barker's last public outing with the Impala was documented in 2014 when he used it for daily tasks like the school run for his kids.
In an interview with DUB Magazine, Barker shared that his passion for cars was inherited from his father, emphasizing his preference for driving his collection regularly rather than keeping them as mere showpieces. His recent brunch outing in the '63 Impala is a testament to his philosophy of enjoying his vehicles as part of everyday life, further cementing his status as a true car enthusiast among celebrities.
