Restored 1962 Chevrolet Impala SS


Recommended Posts

1962 Chevrolet Impala SS. The car was given a frame-on restoration about 15 years ago. Prior to its restoration, it was a very solid and straight Texas car that had never been damaged or repaired. The body is extremely nice with even gaps and margins throughout and crisp body lines. All of the floor pans, rockers, etc are excellent and show no signs of damage or repair. The paint and chrome present extremely well and are in very good overall condition. The interior was replaced and is in excellent condition including the seats, door panels, dashboard, headliner and carpets. The engine bay is extremely clean and nicely detailed including the firewall and inner fenders. At the time of the restoration, the engine was rebuilt upgraded from 250HP to 300HP by using high compression heads, a mild cam and an Edelbrock intake manifold with a four barrel carburetor. The block is original to the car. Originally supplied as a three-speed car, the car now has a period correct four-speed transmission. The rear end is a 3:55 posi-traction. A new aluminum radiator was installed as well as new exhaust, brakes, springs, shocks, tires, etc. The car runs and drives great. It starts easily and drives down the road with great power and a slightly aggressive sound. It behaves nicely going down the road at all speeds. It idles smooth and runs cool. It has been driven about 1,000 miles since the restoration was completed. Everything on the car works as it should. The car currently has radio delete, but an original radio was found and recently rebuilt and is included with the car. It needs nothing but a new owner and is ready to cruise and show. It retains its original vin and trim tags. The VIN number is 21847S314140 and is being sold with a clear and current title. Located in Jefferson, WI.. The price 25,000.00 or near offers.
