Vehicle Description
Picture yourself in this 1962 Chevrolet Impala convertible. Top
down, cruising in to the weekend show, or just enjoying a spin
around town. This is a fun car, and is sure to bring smiles both to
you behind the wheel, as well as anyone who sees you there enjoying
yourself. This car is in very good condition, and benefits from a
long list of improvements in the details, yet has not been restored
to the point you'll feel nervous while driving. This car is meant
to be driven and enjoyed.
The roman red finish and white vinyl convertible top are in good
condition and are a striking classic combination. Chevrolet's body
designs grew more and more subtle during the early 60s, and the
Impala's bright trim package added a luxurious touch, easy to
recognize and appreciate in this good-looking car. Chevrolet
followed the same pattern in the interiors, where they installed
their best materials and equipment. The red interior in this 62
Impala has just been enhanced with new door and quarter panel trim
to complement the original seat upholstery. Many chrome interior
elements have been freshened as well, including door handles,
window cranks, and more.
Under the hood lives a venerable 327 cubic inch V8. Some folks get
all fussy about the 409, which is fine, but it's such a heavy
motor, and thirsty! The 327 has plenty of pep, coming from the
factory in '62 with 250 to 300+ horsepower, and readily modifiable
to produce 375 and more. This engine leaves room under the hood to
work, and something about the space and lack of clutter feels
familiar, comfortable-the way it used to be, the way it ought to
be.
Power is transferred through a three speed automatic transmission
to BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires on 15" Chevy rally wheels. Power
steering and power brakes with front discs reflects the Impala's
top tier status, and make your driving experience that much
nicer.
