Description:
This 1962 Chevrolet Impala SS 2-Door Hardtop is a true American classic, finished in eye-catching Bright Red paint. Although the car was repainted along the line, it maintains a striking presence, with only a small blemish noted on the driver’s side rear quarter panel. This is an authentic SS model, confirmed by the trim code “812,” which decodes as a factory SS bucket seat car.
Under the hood, this Impala is powered by a robust 409 V8 engine, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission, providing an exhilarating driving experience. The engine build is extensive, with approximately $6,000 invested in high-quality components and upgrades, including forged pistons, roller rockers & lifters, ARP head bolts, Edelbrock aluminum heads, dual Edelbrock 4bbl carbs, headers, and a new exhaust system with Dynomax turbo mufflers. The cooling system features a Be Cool aluminum radiator with an electric puller fan, ensuring optimal performance even in warm conditions.
The car is also equipped with power steering, power brakes with front disc brakes, and a modern serpentine belt system, enhancing both drivability and reliability. Inside, the red vinyl bucket seats with a center console and 5-speed floor shifter are in excellent condition, matching the car’s exterior appeal. The headliner, seats, and dash are all well-preserved, reflecting the car’s careful maintenance.
The Impala rides on custom later model 5-spoke wheels, giving it a modern touch while maintaining its classic roots. An aftermarket gauge cluster has been added below the dash for improved functionality and monitoring of the engine’s vital signs.
This 1962 Chevrolet Impala SS is more than just a beautiful classic; it’s a well-documented, high-performance machine with the pedigree to match. Whether you’re a collector or an enthusiast, this true SS Impala offers the perfect combination of authenticity, style, and power.
