Vehicle Description
STK 2515 1962 Chevrolet Impala SS
Chevrolet debuted the SS option for their full-size Impala in 1961
and their concept took off in 1962. Exterior visual elements of the
Super Sport model featured "convertible roof" styling, additional
chrome trim and an engine-turned aluminum-and-chrome panel to house
the triple-unit taillight assemblies. This special trim was also
used to fill the side moldings, giving the SS model a distinctive
appearance. Our 1962 Impala Super Sport is a great example of one
of Chevrolet's best looking full-size models. It is striking from
any angle. The current owner has cared for this Super Sport for 22
years, performing a total restoration in 2008. As can be seen in
the pictures, the exterior is straight and solid. The Roman Red
paint is virtually flawless as is all the chrome. The fully
restored S/S interior is an invitation to go back in time, right
down to the 'Straight Line Tuning' AM radio. Horsepower is
furnished by a then newly introduced 327ci small-block rated at
300hp. This is one of the best motors that GM ever produced -
powerful, yet very smooth - and became the base engine for the
Corvette. The owner states that the motor that was totally rebuilt
in 2008. It is all stock except for a replacement Edelbrock
'Performance Series' 4-barrel carb and sounds strong through dual
exhaust. The small-block is backed by a 4-speed manual transmission
with Muncie shifter. Factory steel wheels, hidden by original S/S
spinner wheel covers, mount 14" white-wall radials. The fully
restored undercarriage/chassis is equipped with power steering and
4-wheel drum brakes. Overall, this Impala Super Sport looks very
much like it did sitting on the showroom floor in 1962 and must be
seen to be appreciated. ALL VEHICLES SOLD "AS IS".
