We could tell you about the full size classic luxury that this 1962 Chevrolet Impala offersand#44; but we youre already memorized by the paint. We dont even have to mention the performance 383ci V8 under the hoodand#44; four-speed manual transmissionand#44; or restored interior before youre ready to give us a call on this cool vintage hardtop. This is a very desirable year for the full-sized Impala. Chevy revamped the coupes styling to have a thickerand#44; more aggressive c-pillar. This was combined with a chrome separating line at roofs base to create a hardtop convertible appearance when you see the ribs in it that has remained very popular today. In the rearand#44; Chevy signified the styling direction of the early 1960s by eliminating the tailfinand#44; and it looks great with the silver paint. The top-of-the-line Impala did this nicely with a six taillight arrangement that was a standout to the car. It looks particularly sophisticated with the Cortez Silver paintand#44; which has enough metallic element to be a great complementing shade to the trim. And thats exactly the kind of hue you want on a car like thisand#44; because it has a ton of brightwork – from the wraparound bumpersand#44; to leaping icon on the rear panel. But the piece we like the best is the chrome strip running the length of the car in a progressive thickness. This appears like an arrow pushing the coupe forward. Add in period-correct Cragar SS wheelsand#44; and you have a shining vintage package thats both sophisticated and aggressive. Impalas are great coupes to collect because the hardtop style hides a full-size Chevy that comfortably fits plenty of family or friends. So when it comes time to carry everyoneand#44; do it in style with the black vinyl seatsand#44; and keep them entertained with the classic-style radio that hides a more modern AM/FM/XM unit. But even if its just you going for a classic cruiseand#44; thatll be fine because the best treats are reserved just for the driver. Sitting behind the wheel feels like time warp with the proper Impala center cap on the highly stylized rim. Plusand#44; the wide speedometer is a great hallmark of the era. Butand#44; then your senses start to notice how the column-mounted Moon Eyes tach is a handy piece to go with the Hurst shifter. You start to realize there might some serious performance under the hood. One twist of the keyand#44; and no one will believe this is a mild-mannered classic anymore. The rumble of the dual exhaust gives its performance nature away instantly. Under the hood is a 383 cubic-inch stroker motor. It has a tidy presentation in the engine bayand#44; but more importantlyand#44; behind the style is the substance of a Holley four-barrel carburetorand#44; Edelbrock aluminum intakeand#44; and long tube headers. Best of alland#44; you have complete control over the sound and fury of this powerplant thanks to the four-speed manual transmission. But more than just a go-fast kind of classicand#44; as you look over all the photos (undercarriageand#44; too) you start to get the picture of a very thoughtful restoration. And thats why this Impala includes power steering and front disc brakes – it wants to be your favorite all-around classic. Complete with owners manualand#44; such nicely built cars usually dont have this kind of affordability. So you know you need to hurry if you want to take this Impala home. Call today!! |
