1962 Chevy Impala SS

1962 Chevrolet Impala Description

The odometer on this Nassau Blue with blue vinyl interior Impala shows 0,302 miles. This is the total mileage since restoration. Amenities include, but are not necessarily limited to: correct QB code Turbo-Fire 409cid/409bhp solid lifter V8 engine with dual four-barrel carburetors; 4-speed manual transmission; posi-traction rear; dual exhaust; power brakes; MPH and fuel gauges; SS package; clock; column-mounted tachometer; and an AM radio. The older BF Goodrich Silvertown 8:00 x 14 whitewall tires, mounted on painted steel wheels with full wheel covers and SS spinners, are all in very good condition.
MECHANICAL: We found that the engine starts easily, idles smoothly and has plenty of power. The clutch, works well, but the transmission linkage needs adjustment, while the brakes pull the car to a straight stop. The steering is smooth, easy and tracks straight down the road. We found that everything works on the car except the clock. Overall, it drives like a new car.
EXTERIOR: The exterior physical condition of this car’s sheet metal is excellent with no dings, dents or rust, and all the body panels appear original to the car. The car was repainted NassauBlue, its original color, and it is in excellent condition. It was professionally done and has a mirror gloss finish, but there are a couple of minor chips. The chrome and stainless trim around the car is all new or has been refinished and is in very good to excellent condition. There are no chips or scratches in the glass and all the rubber seals are new.
INTERIOR: The new blue vinyl upholstery is in excellent condition, as are the door panels. The speckled blue carpets are new and were professionally installed. The dash looks excellent, as does the steering wheel, plastic and chrome. The headliner is new. The new trunk interior is clean and detailed with new paint and mats.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Then engine and engine compartment have been fully restored and detailed, but now is showing some very minor use. The new wiring looks excellent.
CHASSIS: The undercarriage that had been perfectly restored is now showing minor use with a few small chips, as well as minor surface rust and stains on the bolts and nuts. The exhaust system is in excellent condition.
