Vehicle Description
Some cars are just slicker than others. After all, that's why you
stopped to check out this 1962 Chevrolet Impala Restomod. With less
than 250 miles since its frame-off restoration, it's the perfect
mix of butter-smooth freshness and serious upgrades in the driving
experience.
You already know why the '62 Impala is such a cool ride. Unique
styling touches makes a hardtop like this premium and sporty all in
the first glance. This kind of lineage is why the blue/black paint
has been given the right investments to give it the kind of high
gloss shine that instantly attracts attention. Yes, we called this
car blue. It might look black from a distance, but when the light
hits paint just right, it releases a terrific deep blue tone.
That's the difference a modern metallic paint with clearcoat makes.
And because it's so fresh from restoration, this Impala is still
butter-smooth. Plus, this one has all the right brightwork elements
- from the large wraparound bumpers, to the grille, to the
intricate gunsight the gun-sight fender ornaments. It all looks
mirror-like from a fresh investment. And all your favorite classic
pieces are in place from the sporty crease in the hood line, to the
iconic six-element taillights. But now these are joined by great
upgrades like the wide side exhaust tips and 17/18 inch front/rear
alloys that let you know there is more going on here than just a
stellar restoration.
The aggressive red streak on the exterior profile is a great
preview of what awaits you in the fully restored interior. The
lipstick red on the door panels, headliner, trunk, and button-top
seats are so fresh, it almost will feel like driving out of our
dealership is like leaving the Chevy showroom in 1962. But then
again, you're going to spot a ton of great modern upgrades. For
example, the custom steering wheel and tilt column have a great
bright appearance to go with all the brightwork on the dash. Plus,
the radio might look like a classic unit, but your tunes are really
coming from a connection for the most modern music players. This
controls a full custom stereo system that includes powered
subwoofers. There's even ice-cold R134a air conditioning. So roll
down all the windows on this pillarless hardtop, crank up the
tunes, and stay as cool as you look cruising around town.
With a vehicle that looks so fresh inside and out, you better
believe the engine bay is worth showing off, too. The V8 shines
brightly with the valve covers, air topper, master cylinder, and
much more radiating from within the slick dark blue engine bay. And
more than just look powerful, this is a mighty 383 cubic-inch
stroker motor. It has been enhanced with an Edelbrock four-barrel
carburetor, performance intake, and Hedman ceramic-coated headers
that add even more power as they contribute to the rumbling dual
exhaust. And the fresh presentation continues in the undercarriage
photos. More than just new components and fresh bushings, you'll
also see great upgrades like four-wheel disc brakes. Plus, there's
great driving features like power steering, a TH350 three-speed
automatic transmission, and a three-row copper radiator with dual
Spal electric fans (it will keep you cool even in traffic.)
Starting to get the full picture? Everything on this coupe that was
not up to standard was either restored or replaced. That creates a
terrific turn-key classic that's going to rely on you to finish its
break-in miles. So if you're ready for a fresh dose of the best of
everything, call today!
