Lubbock, Texas, United States
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.

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.

GM recalls 330,000 fullsize trucks for airbag replacement
Sun, May 31 2015General Motors has announced a recall of 330,198 fullsize pickups in the US in the aftermath of the announcement made on May 19 that doubled the number of vehicles being called in to replace Takata's defective airbag inflators. That announcement expanded the nationwide recall to an estimated 33.8 million vehicles in the US. Heavy Duty versions of the 2007 and 2008 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra are included in GM's move, for the purpose of replacing the passenger airbag inflators. The announcement made by the National Highway Traffic Safety Association cited long-term exposure to moisture as a possible cause of the inflator issues. GM says it isn't aware of any problems with the recalled pickups due to moisture, nor has it had any reports of crashes, injuries, or fatalities, and has not received any complaints. GM will notify owners, who can then take their trucks to the dealers to have them repaired free of charge. You'll find a statement from GM and the recall notice from NHTSA below.

Weekly Recap: Tesla loses money, still dominates the news
Sat, Aug 8 2015Some people get an inordinate amount of attention. In politics, it's Donald Trump. In football, it's Jim Harbaugh. And in the auto world, it's Elon Musk and his always-fascinating electric car company, Tesla Motors. General Motors is spending $877 million to upgrade a factory. So what! US auto sales are up. Who cares? Tesla has a metal snake that will recharge your car! So was the week in Tesla – er, the industry. Snarkiness aside, Tesla did dominate the news cycle, led by the announcement the company lost $184 million in the second quarter. Tesla also said it expects to deliver between 50,000 and 55,000 vehicles this year, and is preparing for a full launch of the Model X crossover in September. Musk also made news during the earnings call by simply not answering a question about ride sharing, leading to speculation Tesla could be considering its own operation. While the financials were the arguably the most important company news, reports of a Model S cyber hacking were more compelling fodder for Tesla followers. Researchers were able to attack the sedan and bring it to a stop, though they required access to the car first. Tesla says it already has deployed a remedy for the situation. On a lighter note, Tesla published a video of its metal charger prototype that autonomously uncoils like a snake to power up the company's vehicles, provoking plenty of humorous comments and comparisons. Watch it and decide for yourself. While some of this might seem trivial, much of Tesla's recent attention has been warranted. It's the first startup US automaker in decades to launch from nothing and actually gain traction in the market. Sure, Musk is a lightning rod and Tesla always seems to be in the spotlight. But amid all of the publicity, it easy to lose sight of the new reality: Tesla is a force. OTHER NEWS & NOTES 2016 Chevy Volt lights up 106 MPGe The Chevy Volt's vitals are looking healthier for 2016. The second-generation plug-in hybrid racks up a gaudy 106 miles per gallon equivalent, which is an increase of eight MPGe from the 2015 model. The new Volt can travel 53 miles on electricity, a significant jump from the 2015 Volt's 38-mile range. The new car also has a 420-mile total range when factoring in the capability of the gasoline engine, which is 40 miles greater than the current car offers.
Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R named Road & Track Performance Car of the Year
Mon, Nov 9 2015With a 526-horsepower, 5.2-liter V8 that roars to 8,250 rpm, it's really hard to consider the 2016 Ford Shelby Mustang GT350R an underdog in any fight. However, the Shelby held the lowest as-tested price and was only middle of the pack in terms of power in Road & Track's 2016 Performance Car of the Year challenge. The 'Stang's numbers clearly didn't tell the whole story about the potent coupe because Ford's muscle car grabbed the title in this year's test. A model needs to be new or significantly updated to be eligible for the honor, and R&T found an impressive slate of eight candidates this year. The challengers included the Bentley Continental GT3-R, Cadillac ATS-V Coupe, Chevrolet Corvette Z06, Dodge Viper ACR, Mercedes-AMG GT S, and Porsche Cayman GT4. The Ferrari 488 GTB was the most expensive of the bunch with an as-tested price of $347,942, which is five times more than the Shelby. Once the group was together, R&T hustled them over curving roads and on the National Corvette Museum Motorsports Park. There was a lot to love about the Shelby, even in this impressive crew. "With a flat-plane crank and Sport Cup 2 tires, the GT350R is a Mustang turned up to 11," editor-in-chief Larry Webster said in the announcement of the results. The GT350R joins some great company. Past winners include the Porsche 911 GT3 last year and the Corvette in 2013. For some fantastic photography and the complete appraisal of these performance machines check out R&T's website for the full story.
