1962 Chevrolet Impala SS

Frame-On restoration in 2008 L-69 Chevrolet small-block Vintage air conditioning Power steering Cruise control New stereo system Only a few thousand miles on rebuild

Motoexotica is pleased to offer an ideal summer cruiser, a 1962 Chevrolet Impala SS Hardtop Sports Coupe. This Impala is powered by an L-69 HO small-block with a mild camshaft upgrade. The L-69 Chevrolets “high output” engine with a much higher compression and high performance pistons that were only offered in the Trans Am and Z28 Camaro. It was recently rebuilt using a more aggressive camshaft, as stated by the previous owner. It runs and starts extremely well and can cruise all day without worry of overheating. A frame-on restoration was completed in 2008, in which many parts on the car were upgraded or replaced. Along with putting the rebuilt L-69 a rebuilt Turbo 350 automatic transmission with a shift kit were mated together. To complete the drivetrain package a 2 ½” Flowmaster exhaust system was added and sounds excellent.

The previous owner clearly built the car to be driven daily. A new Vintage air conditioning has been added, along with power steering, cruise control, and air shocks replacing the original rear shocks. The original AM/FM radio was replaced with a full Pioneer stereo system that includes all new speakers, amp, and CD player hidden in the glove box. The paint and body panels are in excellent condition with only minor imperfections; the car is very straight and shows extremely well. American Racing Torque Thrust chrome wheels replace the original wheels and have newer radial sport tires mounted on them. To match the paint, the interior has also been redone with very tasteful colors and materials. Both front seats and the rear bench seat are recovered with white vinyl with red cloth inserts and are in excellent condition. All of the original gauges work as they should; placed in the original dashboard cluster, the only additional gauge is an engine temperature gauge mounted close to the original steering wheel and column. The controls for the Vintage air conditioning and cruise control have been hidden under the dash, trying to keep the dash as original as possible. Since the restoration was completed the previous owner put several thousand miles on the new components with no problems occurring. Chevrolet Impalas’ don’t come much nicer than this 62’; it’s a show car that can be daily driven all summer long.

What are you waiting for? This beautiful Impala could be your summer driver. GET OUT AND DRIVE! VIN 21847L221319 30, 07 Miles
