Vehicle Description
The 1962 Chevrolet Impala SS convertibles are legendary for being
cool, comfortable, and powerful. This one has all the right
features of an icon with a few key upgrades like four-wheel disc
brakes to deliver an experience better than your nostalgia.
Nassau Blue is a terrific original color to have on this
convertible. After all, the name alone reminds you of a tropical
sunny day. That's why you can tell they invested a proper respray
of this factory-correct color, so now it has a terrific clear coat
shine. Plus, the white convertible top looks like the crest of an
ocean wave. Of course, all that glittering chrome adds to the
bright appeal. But there's more to this classic's attractiveness.
It has the premium performance look that we love on an Impala Super
Sport. It includes hallmark six taillight arrangement, full
badging, and the full-length machined trim panel that has an
arrow-like quality prodding this convertible forward. Adding to
this sporty appeal is an upgraded to Budnik GTX wheels that are
staggered 18/19-inches front/rear for an aggressive stance.
With the touch of a button, the convertible top powers down to
reveal the correct aqua interior. So this was delivered right from
the factory with all the visual appeal of a deep blue ocean. The
detail work on this is terrific with the button-top presentation on
the door panels, and the silver piping on the seats that
coordinates with the bright work trim. It has all the right Super
Sport touches, including the bucket seats, locking center console,
and bright rear speaker grille. Plus, there are nice upgrades like
an AM/FM/CD stereo and provisions for modern R134a air
conditioning. While there's plenty of room for family and friends,
the driver is the true king with the upgraded steering wheel,
chrome tilt column, and auxiliary gauge trio.
The 327 cubic-inch V8 is now an icon in the small block Chevy
circles, and that legend began in 1962. In fact, this is a
year-correct motor that's believed to be original to the car. But
one look at the engine bay, and you know there has been some modern
investment, too. It has plenty of extra shine from the valve
covers, air topper, alternator, and much more. The V8 inhales
through a four-barrel carburetor and performance intake, and it
exhales through a rumbling Flowmaster dual exhaust. This sound can
be enjoyed for as long as you want because this Impala is
configured to be a cruising machine with power steering and a
Powerglide automatic transmission. Plus, it has the superior
stopping power of Baer four-wheel disc brakes (the calipers were
even painted to match the exterior.) Plus, there have other
upgrades like a Global West adjustable Panhard bar and the modern
grip of Cooper Zeon tires. So this one handles better than just
about any other classic Impala you'll find.
The sale comes with the owner's manual, car cover, and plenty of
original equipment that was replaced. It'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. Call now!
