Vehicle Description
The 1962 Chevrolet Impala SS coupes are legendary for being cool,
comfortable, and powerful. This one has all the right features of
an icon with a few key upgrades (like the A/C interior and
four-wheel disc brakes) to deliver an experience better than your
nostalgia.
This is a very desirable year for the full-sized Impala. Chevy
revamped the styling to have a thicker, more aggressive C-pillar to
make the coupe look like it has a true hardtop in place. The body
lines got sleeker as Chevy officially called an end to the tailfin
era. These changes are nicely showcased by upgrade to dark blue
paint. It has a distinct gloss, and the darkness really lets the
bright work shine. So you can especially see details like the SS
badging. Plus, this top-of-the-line Impala shines with a brushed
aluminum panel and six taillight arrangement that was a standout to
the car. Another great touch specially for the Impala was the
chrome strip running the length of the car in a progressive
thickness. Not only is it finished in a similar brushed aluminum,
but also it appears like an arrow pushing the coupe forward.
Inside is more 1960s style presented with great preservation. The
factory-correct black interior carries the correct bucket seats to
make this a true Super Sport. Plus, they're cool button-top design
coordinates with the door panels for a very period-correct premium
presentation. And of course, it wouldn't feel correct without
plenty of bright work on dash. This lends a stylistic touch to
everything from the heat/defrost controls to the AM radio that's
still on display. 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 this one can keep everyone comfortable with cold 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 especially cool to
have this displacement in this Impala. But one look at the engine
bay, and you know there has been some modern investment, too. There
are performance upgrades like an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor
and Edelbrock Performer EPS aluminum intake. You not only feel the
extra power, but you can hear it, too, through the rumble of the
Flowmaster dual exhaust. This sound can be enjoyed for as long as
you want because this Impala is configured to be a cruising
machine. It has power steering, a Powerglide automatic
transmission, and the superior stopping power of upgraded
four-wheel disc brakes.
This is a terrific mix of preservation and upgrades, and so you
know it's your ideal vintage cruiser. Call now!
