1962 Chev Impala Original Real Ss Black 875 Red Bucket Seat Car Matching Numbers on 2040-cars

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 as a real SS built car.  The 1962 model year has always been referred to as sleek and stylish with its new "C" pillar styling.  The Sport Coupe models 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.  This '62 Impala features 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. 

This 1962 Super Sport (SS), features a panel in a special engine-turned aluminum, which was also used to fill the side moldings, making the SS more distinctive in appearance.  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”.  This is also a matching number Impala with an engine code of (TO414S) making it a 327 250hp and an even more desirable collector car.   Many SS build cars were fitted with the smaller 289 engine.

The previous owner had this car in his stable for the last 25 years and used to to travel the country to attend car shows.  This Impala has won many regional awards.  The only reason this SS is available now, is so that he can build his next collector car.  This is the type of vehicle 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 even 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.

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 and it really is in amazing cndition.  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.

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

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 that have surfaced over the last 20 years.  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.

Her 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. The window trim and side trim, grill and accents all look really good. The drivers wind-wing glass does have a crack in it. 

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

This Impala SS is powered by a strong running original 327 250hp V8 engine that really sounds amazing. Unlike many Impalas that have a quite mellow sound this Impala has a nice rumble that will impress as you cruise her down the highway.  An extremely nice feature is that she can sit for weeks and will still start right up with out the need of a trickle charger or a jump start.  Shifted by a power-glide that makes her drive extremely easy and reliable that even the fussiest of drivers wont have trouble behind the wheel.  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.

Adding to the appeal of this Impala are the Authentic Vintage American Racing Wheels wrapped in BF Goodrich Radial T/A’s.  Please take a look at the photographs and if you are interested or have any additional questions please don't hesitate to call me 818-398-1829
