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 218,000 Chevy Aveo Models Over Fire-Prone Lighting
Wed, May 21 2014The recall train keeps on rolling for General Motors. Hot on the heels of its recent 2.4 million-vehicle recall of various models, it's now calling in 218,000 Chevrolet Aveo units from the 2004-2008 model years because they could catch fire. The problem concerns the daytime running light module in the instrument panel. It could overheat, melt and cause a fire. According to GM spokesperson Alan Adler, "We are aware of some fires," and the company "is still investigating." Adler wouldn't comment about how many fires were reported or when the automaker was first aware of this issue because of the ongoing analysis. However, he said the issue has not caused any injuries or fatalities. GM also doesn't have a fix for the problem with the DRL module yet. The company says in its recall statement to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that the remedy "is still under development." Adler wasn't sure when it would be ready, but he said Aveo owners would receive notification in the mail "relatively soon." They will receive a second letter later to schedule the repair. In a separate letter about the Aveo's problem to NHTSA (viewable here as a PDF), GM said its Executive Field Action Decision Committee decided to conduct the recall on May 16. Scroll down for the recall report. RECALL Subject : Daytime Running Light Module Overheating Report Receipt Date: MAY 19, 2014 NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V261000 Component(s): Potential Number of Units Affected: 218,000 Manufacturer: General Motors LLC SUMMARY: General Motors is recalling certain model year 2004-2008 Chevrolet Aveo vehicles equipped with daytime running lights (DRL).

CONSEQUENCE: If the DRL module melts due to the heat generation, it could cause a vehicle fire. REMEDY: The remedy for this recall campaign is still under development. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact General Motors customer service at 1-800-222-1020 (Chevrolet). General Motors recall number for this campaign is 14236.

Pony-car sales war: Mustang vs. Camaro vs. Challenger [UPDATE]
Fri, Jul 3 2015Update: An earlier version of this story misstated the 2015 Mustang's weight when compared with previous models. Additionally, we have added comments from Chevrolet in the text. The Ford Mustang has blown past the Chevy Camaro as America's best-selling pony car, and in June, it wasn't even close. The 'Stang outsold the Camaro 11,719 to 8,611 cars. The Camaro remained ahead of the Dodge Challenger, which sold 6,845 units. Even though the Camaro did post an 11.5-percent sales improvement in June, the competition is arguably stronger than at anytime since the 1970s muscle-car era. The Mustang's sales leapt a whopping 53.6 percent, while the Challenger saw a gain of 56 percent. Several factors are weighing down Camaro sales, including its lame duck status. Chevy is launching a new generation of the Camaro this year that's more than 200 pounds lighter, offers a new turbo four-cylinder engine option, and has a nicer interior than the outgoing model. Put simply: wait a few months and you can get a better car. It's also unlikely Chevy will jack up the price much, as it's historically kept the Camaro within reach of everyday enthusiasts. While Chevy fans wait in anticipation for their new sports car, Ford and Dodge have downshifted. The new Mustang, which went on sale last year, is faster and more sophisticated than its predecessor. It also offers a 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder, which Ford has credited for the Mustang's recent uptick and makes up 36 percent of the car's sales, Ford analyst Erich Merkle said. View 17 Photos June's performance allowed the Mustang to widen its sales gap with the Camaro this year. Through the first five months, Ford sold 68,290 Mustangs, a 54.4-percent increased compared with 2014. Chevy sold 42,593 Camaros, an 8.7-percent decrease. The Challenger – long the No. 3 pony car in sales volume – has seen its sales surge 41 percent this year to 37,011 units. Spokesman Monte Doran said Chevy expected that 2015 would be a "relatively soft year" for the Camaro. "Mustang is taking advantage of years' worth of pent-up demand for an independent rear suspension," he said. "When Camaro introduced an IRS, in 2009, it helped make us the best-selling performance car in America.
Chevrolet considering midsize crossover to slot between Traverse and Equinox
Mon, Jan 9 2017Crossovers are the new hotness, and automakers are looking to cash in by offering a size and shape for every customer. With Chevrolet's debut of the new 2018 Traverse in Detroit, which grew ever so slightly compared to the first-generation model, there is now a midsize-crossover-sized hole between the three-row Traverse and the compact Equinox. When asked about that obvious space, a Chevrolet spokesperson told us the company is looking into the possibility of expanding its crossover lineup. It should be a relatively simple thing to do, since all it would take is reskinning and rechristening the GMC Acadia with a bow tie, and we all know how much GM loves platform sharing. Although they're now different sizes, the new Acadia and Traverse still use the same platform; the Acadia is now on a short-wheelbase version of the C1XX while the Traverse uses long-wheelbase C1XX parts. A short-wheelbase Chevy built on the C1XX likely would be differentiated visually from both the Acadia and the larger Traverse. It may seem like flooding the lineup with more and more models would cannibalize sales of existing ones, but Chevrolet said it would rather have customers stay within the brand rather than going to another automaker. There have been whispers that some form of the Blazer name (possibly TrailBlazer) may make a return on a midsizer, but if it does don't expect an old-school body-on-frame SUV like the old one. In the end, if Chevy builds it, customers will come. Related Video:
