The 1962 Chevrolet Impala SS coupes are legendary for being cool, comfortable, and powerful. This one has all the right features of an icon with a few key upgrades (like the A/C interior and four-wheel disc brakes) to deliver an experience better than your nostalgia.
This is a very desirable year for the full-sized Impala. Chevy revamped the styling to have a thicker, more aggressive C-pillar to make the coupe look like it has a true hardtop in place. The body lines got sleeker as Chevy officially called an end to the tailfin era. These changes are nicely showcased by upgrade to dark blue paint. It has a distinct gloss, and the darkness really lets the bright work shine. So you can especially see details like the SS badging. Plus, this top-of-the-line Impala shines with a brushed aluminum panel and six taillight arrangement that was a standout to the car. Another great touch specially for the Impala was the chrome strip running the length of the car in a progressive thickness. Not only is it finished in a similar brushed aluminum, but also it appears like an arrow pushing the coupe forward.
Inside is more 1960s style presented with great preservation. The factory-correct black interior carries the correct bucket seats to make this a true Super Sport. Plus, they're cool button-top design coordinates with the door panels for a very period-correct premium presentation. And of course, it wouldn't feel correct without plenty of bright work on dash. This lends a stylistic touch to everything from the heat/defrost controls to the AM radio that's still on display. As a full-size coupe, there's plenty of room to carry up to four family and friends along for the ride. So you'll be glad this one can keep everyone comfortable with cold air conditioning.
The 327 cubic-inch V8 is now an icon in the small block Chevy circles, and that legend began in 1962. So it's especially cool to have this displacement in this Impala. But one look at the engine bay, and you know there has been some modern investment, too. There are performance upgrades like an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor and Edelbrock Performer EPS aluminum intake. You not only feel the extra power, but you can hear it, too, through the rumble of the Flowmaster dual exhaust. This sound can be enjoyed for as long as you want because this Impala is configured to be a cruising machine. It has power steering, a Powerglide automatic transmission, and the superior stopping power of upgraded four-wheel disc brakes.
This is a terrific mix of preservation and upgrades, and so you know it's your ideal vintage cruiser. Call now!
