Vehicle Description
The 1962 Chevrolet Impala hardtop coupe is legendary for being
cool, comfortable, and powerful. So when you can find one with a
little extra shine and a powerful V8 - all for an affordable price
- then you know it's time to pay attention.
This is a very desirable year for the full-sized Impala. Chevy
revamped the coupe's styling to have a thicker, more aggressive
C-pillar. This was combined with a chrome separating line at roof's
base to create a hardtop convertible appearance that has remained
very popular today. The front of this one shines bit brighter with
an investment in the chrome bumper and headlight bezels. It's now a
nice complement to the upgraded 17-inch American racing wheels (a
hint at this one's added performance, but more on that later.) In
the rear, Chevy signified the styling direction of the early 1960s
by eliminating the tailfin. And the top-of-the-line Impala did this
particularly nicely with the six taillight arrangement that was a
standout to the car. Another great touch specially for the Impala
was the full-length chrome strip running the profile in a
progressive thickness. This appears like an arrow pushing the coupe
forward, and within this brightwork is a red color stripe that
gives a nice hint at what awaits when you step inside.
The interior color scheme is reversed from the exterior where the
red is now dominant, and the white is used to provide some nice
accents to the seats. So this one offers an attractive and
coordinated total package. It feels every bit 60s with plenty of
interior brightwork on the door panels, steering wheel, seat end
panels, and dash. But while this is definitely a classic, newer
carpeting, clear gauges, and a recently painted dash keep it
feeling fresh. But the best feeling from this full-sized coupe
comes from rolling down all the windows and allowing this
pillarless hardtop push the wind through your hair like a
convertible. And when you do this, you might also pick up on the
extra growl from the exhaust.
Under the hood is a beleived to be 383 cubic-inch stroker motor.
This performance V8 features a Holley four-barrel carburetor,
aluminum heads, a performance intake, and forged valve covers. And
you get to take extra control over this powerful package thanks to
the B&M shifter for the hardy TH350 three-speed transmission.
But even when you want to use this coupe for just a cool cruiser,
you've got great anytime driving features like the power steering,
power brakes, and the grip of modern tires.
Rarely do you get a chance at such a desirable classic with a
serious upgrade in power for such an affordable price. So you know
you need to hurry if you want to take this Impala home. Call
