Buying a classic car is a serious investment. Some of us spend most
of our lives wishing and dreaming about finding the perfect car to
ride in style, all the while saving up for that one day we can
finally throw down the cash and be handed the keys to our spiritual
freedom. So with all of that in mind, if you're going to spend the
money, then make sure you're buying something worth the time it
took to save up. This 1962 Chevrolet Impala Custom Show Car is that
car. A four-time ISCA Custom Category champion, this completely
custom car was recreated from top to bottom, and with just 35 miles
on it since it was built, this rolling masterpiece has barely been
broken in. No expense was spared, as evidenced by the thousands of
hours in custom sheet metal work, shod in a custom Chrysler Deep
Blue paint.
Step inside this moving piece of artwork and you're treated to a
fully custom blue Ultraleather interior. Power seats and windows
and a tilt steering column offer modern convenience, while custom
billet trim throughout blends a beautiful feeling of strength and
style. Hyper cool features include the push-button transmission,
air-ride controller that tilts out from the bottom of the center
stack, and power radio lift-out from the center console reveals a
Kenwood AM/FM/CD player to provide the perfect soundtrack for the
perfect car.
Under the hood, as expected, we find an engine that keeps with the
spectacular wish-list-level vibe of this incredible Impala. A
supercharged and intercooled 502 cubic-inch V-8 engine topped with
aluminum heads, performance cam, and a blow-thru single Demon
four-barrel carburetor sends power out of a fully "Charcoal Coated"
dual exhaust capped off with a set of sweet-sounding FlowMaster
mufflers. Those ponies are funneled through a TH400 three-speed
automatic transmission before heading out to a 3.25-geared
nine-inch True Track rear end. Even the 17-inch Budnik wheels have
been modified with a custom center cap, while the tires have had
their sidewalls smoothed, proving this car's attention to
detail.
