1962 Chevrolet Impala

INTRODUCTION: Experts estimate only 300 350 Golden Anniversary Chevrolets were produced in total, across all models and engine combinations. This example represents the ultimate- an authentic #s matching Super Sport equipped with the most powerful motor available- the 409-409 hp. It has undergone a body off frame restoration back to factory condition, presenting as it would have when new. Its authenticity is supported by the original trim tag on the firewall, along with letters from the first 2 owners that owned it for a combined 35 years.

EXTERIOR: The body is not only attractive- its practically flawless. Its been thoroughly inspected from top to bottom and is straight, clean, and I found no signs of rust or damage. The panels fit square and flush, and the doors close with a solid, proper feel. Its finished in its unique Golden Anniversary metallic color. The metallic is laid out evenly, and the clear coat is polished to a beautiful, high gloss finish. Being a Super Sport, it features the correct machine turned trim along the sides and tail panel, along with SS emblems and the crossed flag 409 badges. It also has a sporty rear mounted antenna and a bowtie mirror on the door. All the chrome and trim is bright and shiny. The glass is crystal clear, and the weatherstrips have been replaced. Its rolling on reproduction BF Goodrich Silvertown tires with SS spinner hubcaps, completing the look perfectly.

INTERIOR: It is finished in pale yellow upholstery with gold trim which is unique to the Golden Anniversary models. From carpet to headliner, everything has been replaced with quality reproduction materials, giving it the look and feel of 1962. On the floor is the correct gold and black speckled carpet, along with the proper bezel surrounding the 4-speed shifter. The original linkage is included with the car, though its currently upgraded with a new Hurst shifter for improved performance and feel. Between the freshly upholstered bucket seats sits the factory center console, part of the Super Sport package, along with the grab bar on the passenger side dash. It also features the optional dash pad and a vintage Sun tachometer mounted on the column. Interior lights are functioning, and all the trim presents beautifully. It truly feels like stepping back in time... or better yet, sitting back in 1962!

ENGINE COMPARTMENT: This is the ultimate powerplant for 1962- the legendary 409 topped with the optional 409 horsepower setup! It features an aluminum intake with dual four barrel carburetors and is #s matching, restored with great attention to detail. Correct components include the glass fuel bowl, proper choke tube, reproduction spark plug wires, and the dual snorkel air cleaner on top. Its equipped with the correct slant top radiator (unique to a 409), reproduction hoses and clamps. Power steering and power brakes make it as enjoyable to drive as it is impressive to show. Everything is complete and properly assembled, right down to the washer system with its concentrated fluid bottle. It even has the Sun tachometer transmitter and proper spring clamp battery cables with a disconnect. All metal surfaces are neatly painted, and the original cowl tag remains intact on the firewall, identifying this as a Golden Anniversary car.

TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Absolutely clean, complete, and presented just as it would have been in 1962. Under the trunk lid and jamb are painted as nicely as the exterior. Inside is spotless metal finished with a neatly applied gray spatter paint. Its detailed right down to the correct decals, weatherstrip, and trunk mats. It also includes a restored jack assembly and a spare on a matching rim with a reproduction tire thats never been used. Even the trunk reflects the same level of care and authenticity found throughout the entire car.

UNDERSIDE: The body was removed from the frame for a thorough restoration back to assembly line condition. Im genuinely impressed with how clean the metal is. The floors, braces, and inner rockers are dry as a chalkboard and finished in a smooth satin black. The X-frame and chassis components are just as clean and properly detailed. The steering and suspension have been completely rebuilt, along with the brake system, which still has a functioning e-brake. The fuel system was also replaced during the restoration. Looking up at the engine, its neatly finished in proper Chevy orange and equipped with the correct starter and canister style oil filter. It has its #s matching T10 4-speed trans, and out back is the original posi rear end, correctly dated for the car.

SERVICE: We take pride in our cars and reputation. Therefore, we built a 2 million dollar, 10,000 square ft service center, and hired a team of technicians to service the essentials on every car we sell.

CONCLUSION: Not only was this an extremely rare car in 1962, experts estimate only a small percentage have survived and among those, how many are Super Sports with the 409/409 hp? This could very well be a one-of-one! In terms of its features, condition, and documentation this is a collectors dream. Opportunities like this dont come around twice. If youve been waiting for something truly special, this is it.
