Some classics just get it all right. After all, that's why you stopped to check out this 1962 Chevrolet Impala SS Pro Touring. With a frame-off restoration that then included upgrades like a fuel-injected V8, air ride suspension, A/C interior, and butter-smooth paint, it's a true all-around upgraded driving classic. You already know why the '62 Impala is such a cool ride. Unique styling touches makes a hardtop like this premium and sporty all in the first glance.... This kind of lineage is why the red paint has been given the right investments to give it the kind of high gloss shine that instantly attracts attention. Plus, this one has all the right brightwork elements - from the large wraparound bumpers, to the grille, to the understated gunsight fender ornaments. It all looks mirror-like from a fresh investment. But your favorite brightwork elements will be the machine-turned panels. They give this SS a true sporty nature with the arrow-straight full-length trim and it frames the iconic six-taillight arrangement. And now those sporty pieces are joined by Coys alloys with an aggressive 18/20-inch front/rear stance to let you know there's more going on here than just a stellar restoration. Inside is the ideal mix of classic presentation and modern luxury. The all red interior was expertly restored, and so you have a crisp button-top appearance on everything from the door panels to the bucket seats. The chrome on the upgraded sports steering wheel goes with all the brightwork on the dash. Beyond that, the gauges have been upgraded with a Dakota Digital VHX package that glows red to coordinate with the whole car. The radio might look like a classic unit, but it's a retro-style stereo with a digital tuner and Bluetooth enabled. Plus, you have power windows and ice-cold R134a air conditioning. So it's easy to power down all the windows on this pillarless hardtop, crank up the tunes, and stay as cool as you look cruising around town. While the interior and exterior are already award-worthy, you'll really wow them all with the engine bay. The slick black fender walls funnel all your attention to the 5.7-liter fuel-injected V8. This modern LS1 motor has been given an ultra-tidy presentation, and all the details are great, right down to the custom Impala script on the engine covers. While this is already a terrific upgrade in performance, the V8 has been enhanced further. It inhales deeply through a cold air kit, and it exhales with added authority as the Hooker Competition headers help create a terrific rumble. More than just a performer, this one has also been given all the right supporting components. For example, the 4L60E four-speed automatic transmission is stout enough for performance driving, and it's also happy to deliver smooth overdrive cruising. There's also a Ron Davis aluminum radiator to keep it all running cool even in traffic with the A/C pumping. This is a true driver, and that's why you have power steering, sway bars front & rear, and slotted & vented four-wheel disc brakes. Plus, with the adjustable air ride suspension, you get a comfortable ride on the streets and then dial-in the perfect stance at the car show. If you demand the best of everything from your classic, then you don't want to let this fully restored and fully upgraded hardtop slip away. Call today!!!
