Vehicle Description
This 1962 Chevrolet Impala SS has the great red-on-red appearance
that makes the classic big block droptop irresistible, but it's the
details that make you really love this iconic Chevy.
A bright red iconic Chevy convertible is the perfect way to cruise
night or day. The Impala is highly collectable because the wide
bright grille up front and the broad six taillight arrangement are
both icons of the 60s. And it only helps that the convertible is
the rarest of the bodystyles by far. The '62 had a particular style
that was one of the sleekest full-size cars of the era, and that's
why it's so important to get the details right. The bumpers have a
mirror-like shine; the full-length stainless strips looks better
than factory; and the textured aluminum tail panel has a
craftsman's appearance. Diving even deeper into this droptop means
recognizing the little things like the SS badging on the rear
fender, intricate factory hubcaps, dual aerials, and classy fender
skirts.
Bucket seats and a console are exactly what you want to see when
you open the door to get a true Super Sport feeling. But more than
just the right SS features, you'll love that this has been given
all the right restoration and preservation so that the button-top
seats match the door panels so perfectly. They both coordinate with
the red dash, carpets, and period-correct floor mats for a full
uniform appearance. But breaking up this sea of crimson is the kind
of brightwork that made the '60s an iconic decade. You see it on
places like the long dash panel, rear speaker panel, and the
factory steering wheel. In fact, speaking of the wheel, don't you
just love how the white rim inserts match the power folding top?
And even though this seems to be a '60s fashion statement, the
Impala was really built for driving. The wide speedometer covers
all the auxiliary gauges below it, and you even get a
period-correct tach mounted on the column.
You're going to love lifting the hood at car shows, because
everyone will instantly gravitate to the sight of a big block Chevy
with a triple duce package on top. We know it does say 409 on the
valve covers, but really this is 348 cubic-inch V8. That means it
shares the iconic W-block with the Beach Boys favorite, and it fits
the correct triple set of Rochester two-barrel carburetors... and
best of all, it's still a big power package for about half the cost
of a 409. And because the lineage is so close, it looks so good
with the Chevy orange paint on the block and intake. Plus, there
has been special attention to making sure everything from the gloss
black engine bay to the belts & hoses are all extra tidy to be car
show ready at a moment's notice. But more than just showing off,
you'll love the experience of taking this droptop on the open road.
Power steering and power brakes make the driving effortless. And
the rumble that comes from the dual exhaust as it snakes its way
through the X-frame is hypnotic at any speed.
An iconic Chevy droptop that feels authentic right down to the
whitewall tires. You know you've always wanted one exactly like
this, and it's turnkey ready for you today. Call now!!!
