There's not a whole lot out there that can beat the power and sheer presence of an authentic Chevrolet Impala Super Sport. Nothing holds that statement truer than this gorgeous 1962 Impala SS, with its striking red-on-red paint scheme and correct powertrain. Popping open the hood reveals a punchy 327 C.I. V8 breathing through a 4-barrel carburetor, which allows this Impala to breathe easy and cruise down the road effortlessly. Torque is put to the pavement through a 2-speed "Powerglide" automatic transmission, which shifts both seamlessly and smoothly as it goes through its gears. The exterior's distinctive, chiseled bodylines are bathed in the same correct shade of "Roman Red" as this Impala came with from the factory, gleaming with a fantastic finish in the sun after being buffed to a brilliant shine. The chrome brightwork carries an equal level of brilliance, which is good because there's a lot of it! Brushed aluminum trim sits inside the chrome lining the car all the way from the front quarterpanels to the rear deck, and the housings for the taillights are made of the same material. This gives the Impala a serious sense of style! If you take a look underneath the car at the undercarriage, it becomes very clear just how solid this Super Sport is. Being owned and meticulously cared over for upwards of 30 years, this '62 Impala features rock-solid floors, frame rails, trunk, and door jambs. The attention to detail is also apparent when you step inside, welcomed into a correct red cloth & vinyl interior that looks just like it would have coming off the showroom floor in '62. It's got comfy bucket seats and a correct center console, which gives a clear clue to this '62 Super Sport's authenticity. After all, a '62 Impala SS could only be had with bucket seats! The original gauges still sit in the dash, and a hidden Sony AM/FM stereo unit lets you crank the tunes as you drive without interrupting the dashboard's space-age beauty. The car is shoed with a sleek set of chrome 5-spoke wheels over RWL tires for a classy, genuine muscle-cruiser appearance that's sure to turn heads! The minute you turn the key and you hear that 327's growl, you'll know that you're in for a good time as this '62 Impala runs and drives like a dream. How many authentic '62 Impala Super Sports are out there with this one's level of color-combo appeal, correctness, and cruisability? There's a pretty simple answer: not many. Make this one yours now, because it sure won't be on the showroom floor for long!
