Vehicle Description
Owing a great classic is not just about a car that looks nice. You
also want one that has been given the right upgrades, and
maintenance, to be good on the road, too. That's what we love about
this 1962 Chevrolet Impala. You can show off the iconic hardtop
lines, big alloys, and burbling V8 all from the comfort of an A/C
interior.
This is a great year to have a two-tone Impala, and the turquoise
with white roof is a timeless color combo. Chevy redesigned the
full-size line for '62 to eliminate the tailfin and usher in a new,
sleeker era. Specifically, the Impala's design took full advantage
of this with a chrome strip running the length of the car in a
progressive thickness. The white paint on the roof makes a return
within this long arrow of trim, and the result is a very
sophisticated vintage coupe. Plus, the top-of-the-line Impala has a
premium look thanks to the hallmark six taillight arrangement set
into the bright tail panel. But, that's far from the only
brightwork - from the wraparound bumpers, to leaping impala icon on
the rear panel, this is a true chrome king. But the piece you're
likely going to notice the most is the upgrade to those large
20-inch alloy wheels.
Impalas are great coupes to collect because the hardtop style
provides a full-size Chevy that comfortably fits plenty of family
or friends. So when it comes time to carry everyone, do it in style
with the turquoise vinyl/cloth seats that follow the original-style
1960s patter so well that we tend to think this is all original.
But a vintage vehicle that's meant to be shared needs to be
upgraded to keep everyone happy. That's why you have nice features
like the cup holder center console, and a digital tuner AM/FM radio
that carries the knob-style appearance of the original (but now is
better adaptable to modern music players.) There's also cold air
conditioning to keep everyone comfortable. But even if it's just
you going for a solo cruise in this classic, that'll be fine
because the best treats are reserved just for the driver. You get
the proper Impala steering wheel with center cap on the highly
stylized rim. Plus, the wide speedometer is a great hallmark of the
era. You can also keep track of what's going on under the hood with
the addition of a large AutoMeter gauge trio just under the
speedo.
Inside the engine bay is a great looking 350 cubic-inch small block
that looks correct right down to the black air topper, and Chevy
orange paint on the block. This V8 even has nice flair with the
bright valve covers and alternator. But more than just look nice,
this one was set up to be a fine driver, too. You can see the proof
of this very thoughtful build in the details, like with the two
electric fans that were added so this car can run cool even when
you're in traffic with the A/C running. Add in power steering,
power brakes, and newer urethane bushings up front, this has all
the right moves to be a great anytime cruiser.
Complete with owner's manual and maintenance receipts, this is a
great looking icon with all the right features. So, when an Impala
like this is also so well priced in the market, you know it's a
deal that will be going quickly. Call now!!
