Looking to make an impact behind the wheel of one of the most
coveted classics ever to hit the boulevard? Then you'll definitely
want to check out this 1962 Chevrolet Impala Restomod. This
founding member of cruising royalty is decked out with aggressively
sized, staggered 20"/22" wheels and a tastefully striking paint job
that can't help but attract attention. Yet, it also boasts a
downright impressive level of factory-correctness both inside and
out. Yep, that Roman Red exterior mirrors the same shade it rolled
off the assembly line with, and it's ornamented by chrome trim
that's in top form. But this standout ride isn't just about
aesthetics. It also features an assembly of quality mechanical
components that combine to create an outstanding driving
experience.
The ultra-clean state of the interior is a good indication that it
received a thorough refurbishment not long ago, and its
consistently factory-correct configuration shows plenty of
attention to detail. The combination of the fresh vinyl and cloth
bench seating accompanied by matching door panels and carpeting
creates quite an impression, and the well-fitted white headliner
above adds just the right amount of contrast. The aftermarket
custom billet steering wheel is perched on a Flaming River tilt
column that puts it in just the right position, and the painted
dash beyond it features a collection of Dakota Digital gauges to
monitor motoring functions. A vintage-look AM/FM stereo with an
auxiliary port has been seamlessly recessed into the center of the
dash, and with the added climate control system functioning
flawlessly, you and your passengers will ride in comfort throughout
the year.
Beneath the hood, a 350-cubic-inch crate V8 engine stands by in a
very clean compartment, ready for action and outfitted with a
Weiand intake manifold and Fi-Tech fuel injection to maximize its
output, adjustability, and all-weather dependability. It pairs with
a four-speed automatic 700R4 transmission with an overdrive gear to
keep engine revs nice and low during highway driving. Up front, a
sizable aluminum radiator teams with a pair of electric fans for
outstanding engine temperature control. And with a well-chosen
assembly of Ridetech suspension components in place at both ends,
this Chevy's handling ability and ride quality are sure to put a
smile on your face.
