with dog dish hubcaps A rust-free as-original example of
Chevrolet's early '60s pop-culture phenomenon, this 1962 Impala 409
4-speed Convertible received a frame-off nut-and-bolt restoration
that was completed approximately 10 years ago. The resulting
authenticity and attention to detail earned the car a prestigious
National First Place Award in judging by the Antique Automobile
Club of America (AACA). In later competition it also received its
National Senior First Place Award. In judging by the Vintage
Chevrolet Club of America (VCCA), the car scored 997 out of 1,000
points in one of the most rigorous judging regimes of any marque
club. Correctly finished in code 917 Twilight Turquoise paint, it
gives off a distinct sleeper vibe thanks to its contrasting Black
power soft top and Blackwall tires on deep-dish painted steel
wheels with dog dish hub caps. In contrast, the Black interior is
typical Impala elegance, defined by button-tufted interior paneling
and upholstery, a split-bench front seat, clean dash layout with
all working gauges and accessories. The rebuilt 409 CI Turbo-Fire
engine and 4-speed floor-shifted manual transmission are the
highlights of a pristine engine compartment and chassis that are as
clean as the rest of this impressive Impala Convertible. Driven
just 5,000 miles since its restoration, the car is truly evocative
of the early muscle car period. It is offered with a custom car
cover, Black convertible top boot and a set of four deluxe wheel
covers.
