this Vehicle from $499 per month-call 636-600-4600 By 1962, the
Impala had firmly established itself at the top of Chevrolet?s
full-size sedan line. MotoeXotica Classic Cars is pleased to
present this Golden Gazelle, a 1962 Impala Super Sport Two-door
Hardtop. Assembled in GM?s former factory here in St. Louis,
Missouri, this is one of Chevrolet?s rarely seen 50th Anniversary
models. This two owner Golden Impala was purchased new by a female
school teacher in Kaysville, Utah and she owned the car until 2006
when she sold it to a local collector of our area. Her matching
Utah license plate still comes with the car! According to John
Mahoney, the Vintage Chevrolet Club of America?s technical advisor
for early 1960s full-size cars, only 324 Golden Anniversary Impalas
were ever assembled. Using the 10 percent rule associated with
vehicles of this era, perhaps 30 to 35 of these models still
endure. This example still has it's hard to find original and
genuine Chevrolet 50th Anniversary gold key chains along with other
50th anniversary original marketing material. Dressed in brilliant
and correct Anniversary Gold Metallic (code 927), the car?s paint
and trim are in overall very good order. The windows are clear and
intact while the car?s lights, including the signature
three-to-a-side taillights are haze-free and look great. This is a
Super Sport package Impala that is included with front bucket seats
with center console, passenger assist bar, special wheel covers,
side molding inserts. The car?s bodywork is straight, the chrome
bumpers are in very good order and fit tightly to the body, the
engine bay is extremely tidy, the battery is in better-than-average
shape and this car rolls on belted wide whitewall tires, size
215/75R14 at all four corners. Each tire surrounds a steel wheel
topped by a factory SS wheel cover, which are still in very good
condition. The tail light lenses are still the originals. Under the
hood is a date code correct 327 CID Turbo-Fire V-8 engine (#T0705S)
putting out 250 horsepower and breathing through dual exhausts.
Backing up that engine is a two-speed Powerglide automatic
transmission. This car was optioned to be a cruiser more than a
racer but except for the Powerglide. Inside, the yellow-gold vinyl
interior (code 891) complements the exterior color. This model
foregoes the usual front bench seat in favor of wide buckets with a
center storage console between them. These seats, and the rear
bench, are in overall excellent condition, as is the tan carpet and
light gold headliner with minor wear. While its horn is inoperable,
the factory two-spoke Sport steering wheel looks great. The
instrument panel with its passenger assist bar and center-mounted
glove box is in very good shape. So, too, are the inner door
panels. Completing the interior is a pushbutton AM radio. The 1962
model featured new ?C? pillar styling for all models except the
4-door hardtop. Sport Coupe models now featured the ?convertible
roof? styling, shared with other GM ?B? full-size hardtop coupes.
This style proved popular. The ?overhang? roof style of the sedans
was replaced with a wider ?C? pillar with wraparound rear window.
Engine choices for 1962 included a 230 CID Turbo Thrift inline
six-cylinder; 283 CID and 327 CID Turbo-Fire V-8s and a 409 CID
Turbo Thrust V-8. Impalas again featured premium interior
appointments, plusher seats could be done by the dealerships on
customer request and more chrome trim outside, including a
full-width aluminum-and-chrome panel to house the triple-unit
taillight assembly. Super Sport (SS) models featured that panel in
a special engine-turned aluminum, which was also used to fill the
side moldings, making the SS more distinctive in appearance. Other
two-door hardtops in 1962 that competed against this Chevrolet
included Dodge?s Dart 330, Ford?s Galaxie 500 Club Victoria,
Plymouth?s Sport Fury Golden Commando and Pontiac?s Bonneville. If
you haven?t found a Golden Goose but are willing to check out a
Golden Gazelle, stop by MotoeXotica Classic Cars today and examine
this early 1960s full-size survivor before it winds up in someone
else?s garage. VIN: 21847S303376 This car is currently located at
our facility in St. Louis, Missouri. Current mileage on the
odometer shows 49,778 miles. It is sold as is, where is, on a clean
and clear, mileage exempt title. GET OUT AND DRIVE!!! Note: Please
