Vehicle Description
STK 2714 1962 Chevrolet Impala SS
Chevrolet debuted the SS option for their full-size Impala in 1961
and the 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 - striking from any
angle. A full restoration with mechanical enhancements was
performed in 2012. As can be seen in the pictures, the exterior is
straight and true. The Ermine White paint was professionally
applied and the SS chrome/stainless pieces are in very good
condition. The restored S/S interior is an invitation to go back in
time, but with cold A/C and an AM/FM stereo package. Horsepower is
furnished by a rebuilt 350ci small-block. It is fitted with an
Edelbrock intake, Edelbrock Performance Series 4-barrel carb and
stock Chevy 'rams horn' exhaust manifolds. It sounds strong through
a free flowing dual exhaust and is backed by a 3-speed Turbo350
automatic. GM 15" rally wheels w/trim rings and centers mount
radial blackwall tires. The clean chassis is equipped with power
steering, disc/drum brakes (new) and a dual power-assisted master.
Many front-end components have also been refreshed. Overall, this
Impala Super Sport looks very much like it did sitting on the
showroom floor in 1962, but performs much, much better. It must be
seen and driven to be appreciated. ALL VEHICLES SOLD "AS IS".
