1962 Chevrolet Impala Pro Touring Restomod

1962 Chevrolet Impala Description

The professional frame off build on this 2-door coupe took just over 2 years and was completed in 2015 with receipts totaling $220K. The build is a culmination of excess and talent fueled by passion on all facets… The car has been driven 4800 miles since completion. Having the best of performance and modern technology inside and out, it’s incredibly balanced in every way. The 525HP Chevrolet Performance 6.2L LS3 Engine is mated to a heavy duty 4L70E Overdrive Transmission which transfers power through a Floating 9” Rear Axle Assembly with 3.50 Gears. The bulletproof powertrain along with fully adjustable Pro Touring Suspension, Modern Power Rack & Pinion Steering, and 4-Wheel Disc Brakes offer racecar level performance and handling characteristics with a ride quality that is as smooth as silk!

Besides the seemingly endless array of high-end parts, this car has countless hours of custom fabrication invested. From structural modifications made to the chassis for the One-Piece Driveline Conversion to aesthetics like the Custom Engine Cover and the Polished Stainless Steel Firewall, the list goes on and on.

The interior is fully customized with just the right amount of classic touches blended in. It boasts modern creature comforts like Power Windows, Air Conditioning, and Tilt Steering Wheel. The Interior Sheet Metal, Doors and Trunk have been sealed with Lizard Skin Ceramic Heat and Sound Deadener which keeps road noise to a minimum while maintaining the desired temperature selected by the climate control. The car is solid and sounds good when the doors close, much like a high end luxury vehicle!

The body shows like a black mirror down the long flat panels, simply amazing! The paint is smooth like glass, and almost looks wet in appearance with a mile of depth.

The Continental wrapped Chrome Aluminum 17” Staggered Wheel & Tire Package, and Side Exit Exhaust outwardly project a stout attitude that is down-right beautiful!

This 1962 Impala is an exquisite example of unrivaled classic muscle coupled with modern reliability and power that is dependable enough to drive from coast to coast… It is the epitome of a “Pro Touring” Street Machine on a very grand scale! Truly, this dream car will be missed by the owner and builders alike. Thank you for reading and best of luck bidding!
