Up for auction is my 1962 Chevrolet Impala Super Sport with a dual quad 409 and 4-speed manual transmission. The car has an all original drivetrain and engine, as well as all original sheet metal. I bought the car 10 years ago and had it shipped from Florida to California. I am the fourth owner after purchasing the car from a body shop owner who had too many cars on his hands. I still have a copy of the original ad from when I purchased the car 10 years ago as well as all my receipts and paperwork going back to the original owner.
All drivetrain numbers match, including: Block # 3788068, Pad # A155243 + T0220QB, Heads # 3814690 K-361, Intake # 3814881, Carter Carbs # 3361(F), 3362(R), Exhaust #s 3814682 and 3814683, and Bell housing # 3785644. You are unlikely to find a more original example, so bid accordingly, as this investment-grade car will only increase in value.
The odometer shows 34,797 miles, which may be original as the car sat for approximately 19 years, but I have no way to verify. I have the original pink slip for the car. I have restored or replaced everything on this car inside and out. The paint was done about 5 years ago and still looks great. The car is fully functional mechanically and it runs great as it should.
I've installed an original-look Griffin aluminum radiator so the car runs nice and cool. It also has a modern radio and speakers, but retains an original look, as seen in the pictures and even has the original reverb in the trunk. The car also features an upgraded primary carburetor and vacuum advance distributor. The 3:70 posi rear end was also completely rebuilt with the rest of the drivetrain.
The winning bidder will also get the original 14" wheels with full spinners, the original radiator, the original radio, speakers, primary carburetor(Carter 3362), and the correct mechanical advance distributor.
If you have any questions or need more information, please call Joe at 650-228-4680 or just click the ask a question link on the ad.
I will require a non-refundable deposit of $1000 within 3 days of the auction's end. The car will be released when full payment is received. Buyer is responsible for pickup and/or transportation of the vehicle, but I will help with loading if needed. This vehicle is also for sale locally, so I reserve the right to end the auction at any time.
Thank you and good luck!

Next Corvette ZR1 to get 700 horsepower?
Tue, 19 Feb 2013Word has it General Motors may offer as much as 700 horsepower in the C7 Corvette ZR1. Motor Trend reports the next Corvette Z06 will continue to rely on its naturally aspirated 7.0-liter V8 engine for thrust, but the lump will deliver substantially more power. How much more? MT says the engine could deliver up to 600 ponies. That's a jump of 95 horsepower over the current Z06, though no figures have been finalized as of yet. Right now, GM is reportedly waiting to see what sort of grunt it can glean from the next ZR1.
The automaker has already made it clear it will resurrect the LT5 name for the new supercharged V8, and if GM is already pulling 600 from the Z06, the big dog ZR1 would theoretically offer 700 horsepower. Either way, the range-topping Corvette will be suitably insulated from its less potent siblings. Stay tuned. We aren't likely to see the Z06 for at least a year, with the ZR1 trailing along at some point there after.
How GM engineers are using diaper 'snow' to keep you warm
Thu, Jan 8 2015Testing how snow affects General Motors' vehicles isn't really a problem right now for the company's engineers, but in the dog days of summer the process isn't exactly easy. The only real option is for them to book time at the automaker's climatic wind tunnel. However, a flash of brilliance from an engineer allows snow to be simulated regardless of the temperature outside, and the discovery is all because of his daughter's wet diaper. The realization came to GM Thermal Systems engineer Nicholas Jahn while he was swimming with his daughter and noticed how her diaper ballooned in size in the water. He found out the substance that makes this possible is called sodium polyacrylate. When the material gets wet it grows and forms fluffy flakes that are a close imitation of snow. Best of all, the stuff can be prepared easily any time of the year, and it's reusable. The engineering team uses the material to test the effectiveness of the heating systems of GM's vehicles. They spread the sodium polyacrylate over the inlets at the base of the windshield to obstruct the airflow and then crank the heater. After some time, they can see how much is being sucked into the system and design more efficient systems in the future. See how the process works in the video above and read about the diaper discovery in GM's press release below. Diapers Change Chevy Cruze Winter Warm-up Time GM validation engineer uses diaper material "snow" to reduce frigid drives 2015-01-06 DETROIT – An item commonly found on an infant's changing table is helping General Motors' engineers simulate snow year round, ensuring heating systems in cars like the 2015 Chevrolet Cruze can quickly and efficiently warm its interior. Packed snow can prevent air from entering the inlet panel at the bottom of the windshield, obstructing the flow of air into the heating system and reducing the amount of air it can push out. This can lead to less efficient warming of the car's interior and windshield defrosting. "The last thing anyone wants to do when it's freezing cold out is scrape their windshield," said Nicholas Jahn, GM Vehicle Thermal Systems engineer. "The testing we perform on the Chevrolet Cruze with the diaper material allows us to maximize the car's heating capabilities." Ironically, Jahn stumbled upon his diaper-based testing method in the middle of summer. During a swim with his daughter, he noticed her diaper multiplied in size when it came into contact with water.
