Vehicle Description
1962 Chevrolet ImpalaThe Impala was designed as Chevrolet's
full-size sedan, and was first introduced in 1958. The third
generation cars, built between 1961 and 1964 have become one of the
most beloved classics of the era, and have a reputation for being
great platforms for customization. This 1962 Impala 2-Door coupe
has been lovingly restored, with numerous special features that
turned it from a 1960s family car, into a one of a kind
classic.Finished in Electric Blue Metallic with a white roof, this
car was subject to a complete frame-off restoration between 2012
and 2015 by local enthusiast Rich Hinrichs. While the car was
pulled apart, considerable time was spent getting the body dialed
in, now featuring excellent panel gaps, and the glossy paint was
laid down to a show-car finish. This was then paired with a set of
staggered 19-inch front/20-inch rear Billet Specialties wheels,
which show off the 4-wheel Wilwood disc brakes that sit behind
them. One of the things this era of Impala became notorious for was
the use of hydraulic suspensions that allowed the car to bounce or
drive with only 3 wheels on the road. Although this car doesn't
have that sort of system, a Ridetech air suspension has been
installed with a 5-gallon "Airpod" in the trunk which allows you to
drop the car to the ground when you show up at a car show, but then
raise the car up to then drive home.The interior has been totally
reupholstered to match the striking exterior, in blue and white
two-tone vinyl. Open the door and it is a stunning look, with even
the 2-spoke original steering wheel refinished to match. A trio of
small AutoMeter gauges sit in front of the driver, and a center
console has been crafted which gives a place to mount the Pioneer
head unit (with backup camera) and a pair of cup holders. A Vintage
Air air conditioning system has been installed, as have power
windows and power locks.Of course, you wouldn't go to all the
trouble of building a car of this quality and not touch the motor!
Under the hood sits a 6.2-liter blueprinted stroker V8 that is
running an EZ-EFI fuel injection system. Sitting behind this engine
is a 200 R4 3-speed automatic gearbox that sends power to the rear
wheels through a 3.73 positraction rear end. Jet coated headers
keep underhood temps down, and a custom exhaust system exits just
in front of the rear wheels and makes an excellent sound. An
aluminum radiator was installed to keep things cool, and of course,
power steering and power brakes were both added.This car is ready
for a summer of car shows and includes a ready-made show board with
all of the cars information on it. If you are looking for a fun,
dependable and usable classic that is also going to attract
attention everywhere you go, this 1962 Impala would be the perfect
choice.Key Features * 3-Year Frame Off Restoration from 2012-2015 *
