1962 Chevrolet Impala SS Convertible.
After 25 years trying to buy this car from the 2nd owner, I finally acquired it from his estate. He passed 4 years ago at 89 and since his father lived to be 104, I thought I would never get it. I am 66 years old now and much to my regret circumstances dictate she has to go. He and his father ran a local repair shop since the 1930's until the late 1980's. He bought this car from one of his customers in 1970. Most of the 92877 actual miles was accumulated by the 1st owner. As it was no longer a daily driver, The 2nd owner did some minor lower rust repair and painted both sides from the chrome down and then rarely drove it only in parades and later to an occasional car show. It has held up well but the lacquer paint has the typical cracks and is showing its age. The right front floor support has been replaced and the left one should be. The rest of the paint above the chrome is original and still looks and shines nice but there are some small nicks and scratches. There is a small ding on top of the left front fender. The car has never been in an accident.
The interior is all original and is in extremely nice condition except for a patch on the right door panel. Carpet is very nice but faded. Easy to spray dye rather than replace. I'm not sure but the top may be original. It is not real white like a new one but still looks nice with no torn seams or tears and it is not brittle. The back window has some scratches and is showing its age but you can see clearly through it. All original weatherstripping is still soft and pliable is in excellent condition.
The original 283 engine is whisper quiet. No knocks, ticks, smoke or leaks. It has 327 valve covers and fender flags and the originals go with the car. I think the 327 valve covers and fender flags are prettier than the 283's. The battery is out in the pictures, but it comes with a good working one. The original transmission shifts great, no slippage. The original rear end is quiet, not sure if it's a 3.08 or 3.36. Correct dual exhaust was added with correct reproduction clamps and hangers and stock quiet mufflers. The car runs, rides and drives smooth and quiet with no shake, shimmy, wobble or wandering. Front suspension is tight and the tires are balanced. All lights inside and out work as does all equipment and accessories. Dual outside rear view mirrors and dual antennas. Wheels tires and hubcaps are very nice. Bumpers are original and straight and still shine good. All glass is in excellent condition and roll up and down as they should. All the anodized trim is in very good shiny condition.
This is not a RESTORED car. It is a SURVIVOR that has always been taken care of and maintained as needed. You don't need a trailer to take this car home. It can be driven any distance with confidence. I can put you in touch with a local shipper if needed.
I may stop this auction at any time as the car is for sale locally. Many cars on ebay never meet reserve, but if you are serious, don't be shy with an offer.

Weekly Recap: Geneva's splendor reflects growing demand for ultra-luxury cars
Sat, Mar 7 2015Geneva is one of the most glittering auto shows in the world, but the list of high-powered and bespoke luxury cars was decadent this year even by the rich standards of the Swiss exhibition. It's great for enthusiasts to revel in the flame-throwing Aston Martin Vulcan, the racing-inspired elegance of the Bentley EXP 10 Speed 6 concept and the insane performance of the Lamborghini Aventador LP 750-4 Superveloce, but there's a reason for all of this opulence: the luxury market is big business. And it's growing. IHS Automotive forecasts that so-called ultra-premium sales will nearly triple this decade from 123,000 to 353,000 units around the world. The estimate includes brands like Aston Martin, Bentley, Ferrari and Rolls-Royce, but doesn't count BMW, Mercedes and Audi, which offer less expensive models in addition to their high-end flagships. Though IHS includes Porsche and its relatively large volume in the study, the ultra-premium segment is still set grow at about the same rate, even without the German automaker's figures. So what is propelling all of this growth in the most expensive segment of the auto industry? Put simply, there's more rich people. IHS Automotive principal analyst Tim Urquhart pointed to economic expansion in China, market recovery in the United States and a surge in the lucrative technology sector as contributing factors. This dovetails with a research report by UK-based Oxfam, an international relief organization, which found the world's richest one-percent owned 48 percent of global wealth in 2014, and it's expected to increase to more than 50 percent by 2016. View 17 Photos Carmakers are moving quickly to capitalize with new products, expanding their portfolios with low-volume speedsters like the 800-hp V12 Vulcan at Geneva, and plans to enter new segments, like Rolls-Royce's strategy to make an SUV. "Ultra-premium carmakers are looking to explore ways of growing their product offerings, and thus their bottom lines, in this most potentially profitable of segments," Urquhart wrote in a report on the Geneva show. In a nutshell, there are more choices for people with more money. It's a good time to have expensive taste. Other News & Notes 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata production launches It won't be long now. The 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata arrives later this year, and it's officially in production. Mazda announced this week that the roadster began rolling off the assembly line at its Ujina factory in Hiroshima, Japan.
2015 Chevrolet Silverado Custom glitzes up volume model [UPDATE]
Thu, Feb 12 2015UPDATE: The original prices listed in Chevrolet's press release did include destination charging, despite not being specifically called out as such. We've edited the story to reflect this. The Chicago Auto Show's reputation as the home of special edition debuts grows stronger today, as Chevrolet is complementing the news that it'd unveil the Silverado Midnight Edtion and Colorado GearOn special editions in the Windy City with the debut of the Silverado Custom. And yes, it's different than the higher-spec Custom Sport that debuted just last month in Detroit. What's so custom about the Silverado Custom, you ask? Well, not a whole lot. The new truck is based on the popular Silverado LS Double Cab, and adds, among its most noteworthy features, a set of 20-inch, five-spoke wheels. From there, chrome is the order of the day, with shinier front and rear bumpers, mirror caps and door handles. The top portion of the front bumper, which is finished in black plastic on the standard LS, is matched to the body color on the Custom model. Standard LS interior features, like the 4.2-inch MyLink system with 4G LTE wireless internet, 40/20/40 cloth front seats, remain in place on the Custom, while it's a similar story with the powertrain. Choices below the sheetmetal will force buyers to choose between a 5.3-liter V8 or a standard 4.3-liter V6, and two- or four-wheel drive. Chevy is pricing a V8-equipped Silverado Custom 4x2 at $33,820 (including $1,195 in destination charges). Adding four-wheel drive brings the price up at $37,800, although as we said, selecting the 4.3-liter V6 will yield a more affordable Custom. Check out the full press release on the newest member of the Silverado clan, available below. 2015 Silverado Custom: Back to Basics, with Style $33,820 starting price for a well-equipped double-cab V-8 CHICAGO – Chevrolet takes aim at the heart of the pickup market with the Silverado Custom, which offers Chevy Truck capability and dependability in a stylish package, priced within reach of many truck customers. "The economic recovery has led to booming sales of high-end pickups like the Silverado High Country," said Sandor Piszar, marketing director for Chevy Trucks. "But there are also millions of customers in the heart of the market who want a great looking, well-equipped truck at an affordable price.
Next-gen Chevy Cruze caught cruising in the cold
Wed, 13 Feb 2013Spy photographers have caught what looks like the next-generation Chevrolet Cruze out on snow patrol. The camo could be tricking our eyes, but it look like it has an even tidier, more rounded front end and even lower fenders in relation to the top of the hood. And either a chunk of camo has been wedged between the side mirrors and the doors, or the mirrors are up for revision, too.
The door handles have been moved up the side of the car, leading the way to a rear end that grows a bit in length. If the rumors are true, the coming second-generation Cruze sits on the new D2XX platform that will replace the Delta and Theta platforms at General Motors. A global architecture, the Cruze will be the first to get it, but it will underpin everything from next Chevrolet Volt to the Equinox and could be responsible for 2.5 million units by 2018. The next Cruze is expected to begin production in GM's Lordstown, Ohio plant in the third quarter of 2014.
