Vehicle Description
Quite original, but with the right creature comforts - like the A/C
interior - this stick-shift V8-powered 1962 Chevrolet Impala SS
delivers all the best for cool-cruising nostalgia.
Honduras Maroon is one of those great classic Chevy colors. It has
the gloss and shines on this factory-correct color, telling you
someone invested in a respray to keep it looking regal. Plus, it
represents the era correctly with the pillarless hardtop profile,
excellent brightwork, and even rear fender skirts that come with
the sale. And because this is a true Impala Super Sport, you get
the right features like full SS badging, full-length trim with
sporty machine-turned insert, and the hallmark six-light tail panel
set within another machine-turned insert. Adding to this sporty
appeal are the factory-style hubcaps and whitewall tires. So this
is sleek, correct, and cool - and that's quite an impressive total
package.
Inside is more 1960s style presented with great preservation. The
factory-correct tan interior carries the correct bucket seats to
make this a true Super Sport. Their cool button-top design
coordinates with the door panels for a period-correct premium
presentation. And, of course, it wouldn't feel correct without
plenty of brightwork on the dash. This lends a stylistic touch to
everything from the classic dual-spoke steering wheel to the
factory gauge cluster. It feels like a time capsule, right down to
the details like the weave of the carpeting, the lights that greet
you when the door opens, and the working AM radio. As a full-size
coupe, there's plenty of room to carry up to four family and
friends along for the ride. So you'll be glad that the one
easy-to-spot upgrade is the one that can keep everyone comfortable
- cold-blowing air conditioning.
The 327 cubic-inch V8 is now an icon in the small block Chevy
circles, and that legend began in 1962. So it's incredibly cool to
have this displacement in this Impala. And you can tell by the way
the orange on the V8 radiates within the blacked-out engine bay
that they have made the right investments to keep this
stylish-looking stock. Topped with a four-barrel carburetor, this
is a terrific powerhouse. And the upgrade to a Muncie four-speed
manual transmission gives you full control of the power and rumble
of the dual exhaust. And it's a great cruiser with power steering,
power brakes, and an ultra-tidy undercarriage that inspires drive
confidence.
Here's a cool classic that has received all the right investments
for show and go. So don't miss out on your turn-key dream cruiser.
