1962 Impala SS

Real SS * A/C *Disc Brakes

Original Tuxedo Black with Red Bucket Seat Interior

This 1962 Impala SS was built as a Factory Tuxedo Black exterior car with (875) Red Vinyl SS Bucket Seat interior.   Making this car not only an amazing color combination but also collectible with its SS badging.   Unlike later years of SS's. they cannot be decoded by their vin number but rather by their cowl tag.   This is a real #875 trimmed car meaning she started life as a real “SS”. The engine code is (TO414S) 327 250hp.

The last owner had this car for the last 25 years and used to to travel the country to attend car shows.   The only reason it is available now. is that he is ready to build his next car.   This is the type of ride that your wife can hop in and drive.   Easy to handle. starts right up and is a pleasure to cruise.   Its 327 250hp engine has a nice rumble that you don't always hear with Impalas.   All the gauges work and has an aftermarket radio in the glove box.   Drive in comfort with working Heat and Air Conditioning.   Really is a pleasure to cruise and even has upgraded front disc brakes.

We pride ourselves of actually describing our cars. so you can visualize what you can't always see in a photograph.  

This is an older restoration but we appreciate it as it sits.   It is extremely straight. of the hundreds of Impalas we have seen. this one has to be one the straightest!  And that is saying a lot when it comes to Impala quarters.   This is a car you can cruise now and enjoy and as time allows you to do your own touches.   We considered repainting it and redoing some interior pieces but the more you are around the car its nostalgic feel changes your mind and also allows us to keep its price down.   Take a look at the pictures and ask any questions you may have.  I think you will be able to see what an honest car this Impala SS is.

1962 Impala History:

The 1962 model featured new "C" pillar styling.   The Sport Coupe models now featured the "convertible roof" styling. shared with other GM "B" full size hardtop coupes. This style proved extremely popular. and contributed to the desirability of the '62–'64 Impalas as collectibles.  

Impalas again featured premium interior appointments. plusher seats. and more chrome trim outside. including a full-width aluminum-and-chrome panel to house the triple-unit taillight assembly. Super Sport (SS) models featured that panel in a special engine-turned aluminum. which was also used to fill the side moldings. making the SS more distinctive in appearance.

Paint/Exterior:  

Original Tuxedo Black car that has been repainted about 20 years ago with a quality paint job.   Although. since it has been so long there is some checking on the roof some places where the paint has thinned and of course some rock chips.   But. since it was a quality paint job it has a vintage feel unlike a ‘bad or cheap” paint job that has overspray and just looks terrible.   There are two spots photographed that have small rust bubbles.   The underside of the car is in extremely solid and original condition without any rust repairs or problems.  You will be impressed with her metal.

Bumpers are in great shape and so is all the trim and emblems.   It does need its window felts replaced they have basically disintegrated from time. Window trim and side trim. grill and accents all do look really good. The drivers wind-wing glass does have a crack in it.  

Interior:  

Original Red Vinyl SS Bucket Seat Interior that was redone some time ago.   Drivers seat does have a few tears but the rest has held up amazingly well.   The carpet shows just a little wear.   The dash. headliner. sill plates and back seat are all amazingly nice.   Take a look at the pictures.

Engine/Trans: 

a strong running 327 250hp V8 engine that really sounds great.  (Engine Code TO414S).  She can sit for weeks and will still start right up with out the need of a trickle charger on her.   She has quite a rumble for an impala that will impress fans of muscle cars and hot rods.   She is shifted by a power-glide that makes her drive extremely easy and reliable.   I wouldn't be afraid to drive this car anywhere!! She does't get hot and again. this is a easy to drive and no-nonsense classic cruiser . harder to find then you would initially think.

Wheels/Tires:  

Very cool looking Authentic Vintage American Racing Wheels wrapped in BF Goodrich Radial T/A's that still have quite a bit of tread on them.
