Vehicle Description
Take some time to look this car over, because this in an
interesting dream machine. You're looking at some of the best
combined elements of a single year to deliver a 1962 Chevrolet
Impala with a bubble top hardtop and a big dual-quad 409 V8 with
four-on-the-floor.
So if you're a Chevy person, you already know how interesting this
is. The "bubble top" hardtop design for the sports coupe was a
feature only for the Bel Air this year. The upper-level Impala had
the more formal hardtop design. But now that the bubble tops are a
true legend, this one has some fun by taking the extra-sleek Bel
Air profile and upgraded it to Impala trim - including the hallmark
six taillight arrangement. The result is a unique car that answers
the "what if..." question. And while this one is unique in its
history, it's also terrifically vintage in its presentation.
Honduras Maroon is a great 1962 color. This is part of a
professional respray, and so there's a big gloss and shine to
nicely showcase this distinct machine. And the color-matched wheels
with base hub caps for a true sleeper touch. Plus, you get some
great brightwork on the form-hugging chrome bumpers, SS badging,
rocker trim, and full-length side trim with sporty machine-turned
insert.
Open the door to a time capsule interior. You can tell there was a
solid investment here, because not only does everything feel fresh
and nice, but also the details look good. You see it in places like
how the button-top seats match the door panels. While there will
always be a few people who want to go for a ride in powerful coupe
like this, you're always going to be the priority in this one.
That's why you have classic driver-oriented features, like the
bucket seats, floor shifter, and provisions for the correct-style
tach. Even the upgrades are cleanly integrated, like the auxiliary
readouts and the Chevy sports steering wheel from the muscle car
era.
But of course, the feature you'll love the most is under the hood.
Those fender callouts weren't lying about the big block 409
cubic-inch V8 filling the engine bay. It has a period-correct
appearance with the valve covers w/callouts, bold block, and even
nice hoses. And as you dig deeper, you'll fall in love/lust with
the dual set of four-barrel carburetors on the high-rise intake.
There are even headers that add even more muscle while contributing
to the rumble of the dual exhaust. Not only do you have
street-eating power, but any time you really want to bring the
thunder, there are a set of exhaust cutouts to let everyone really
fear the legend of the dual-quad 409. The four-speed manual
transmission puts you in complete control of it all. There's even a
12-bolt 4.11 Positraction rear end for powerful and confident
takeoffs. Add in upgrades like modern tires and front disc brakes,
and this is a true power coupe.
It's hard not to get excited about a presentation that delivers
something that is vintage, custom, and absolutely powerful. So if
you love being unique with your big power classic, call today!
