The 1962 Chevrolet Impala hardtop defined what a cool cruiser should be. So when you find one that has been expertly restored for glittering chrome, a Super Sport appearance, and a great color coordination inside & out, then this is a terrific turn-key total package. Take a moment to really appreciate what you checking out. This coupe was given a full frame-off restoration in 2003. Because they paid for superior quality back then, and have only treated this... coupe with respect ever since, it still looks fresh from the restoration. The turquoise paint looks great under our showroom lights, and it's absolutely stunning when the sunlight is radiating off of its crisp sheetmetal. The Impala was restyled this year to give it a more sophisticated roofline, and this one showcases it with the hardtop finished in a pristine white. And while the paint and body had solid investment, you can also instantly tell there was a small fortune spent on the chrome. The wraparound bumpers, big grille, dual antennas, and all the window trim shines even brighter than the factory could even make them. And those large 18-inch wheels add to the shine while also hinting at added performance. But we bet you're favorite brightwork elements also add to the iconic nature. Not only does this have full Super Sport badging, but also we know you love the machined aluminum touches. They highlight the hallmark six-element taillight package and draw even more attention to the full-length side trim. When you open the door, the full turquoise and white package continues. The seats were expertly finished to not only have a great two-tone appearance, but also there are comfortable cloth inserts for where you sit. Plus, the button-top presentation here correctly coordinates with the door panels. And when you add in the white headliner and turquoise dash, it's a terrifically coordinated total package. This one really has a ton of great period-correct details like the tissue box holder, passenger grab handle, and full bright dash with the original AM radio still on display. But they also made sure to give this the right upgrades during the restoration, too. For example, you have an AM/FM/CD stereo hidden in the glovebox that provides the real tunes. Plus, you can tell this is a true driver's car with the upgraded white and chrome steering wheel, auxiliary gauge trio, and large column-mounted tach. You'll love taking this one to car shows, because the moment you lift the hood, crowds will start to gather. They took their time during the restoration to make sure that the whole engine bay was a festival of turquoise and polished components. Even the block was painted to match the car! More than just an award-worthy presentation, you're looking at plenty of the right power. It's Chevy's 350 cubic-inch V8 that has been upgraded with an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock intake, four-core aluminum radiator, and ceramic coated headers that feed the side-exiting dual exhaust. This makes for extra power and extra bass as this hardtop hits the streets. And just to make sure it's a true cruiser, it has great driving features like a three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, and front disc brakes. This is exactly what you want when looking for a complete custom cruiser. So if you want it all, and you want it tomorrow, then you need to call today!
