1962 Chevrolet SS Convertible "4/Spd- 327/300hp-AC-Frame Off Rest." Loaded with options, Multi-award winner with professional high $ Restoration" Exterior: Red Interior: Red Convertible Top: Black Convertible boot: Red Engine: Original 327CID V-8/300hp Transmission: 4/speed synchromesh Rear: 3:70 posi-traction This incredible Chevy convertible has been the subject of a 13 year labor of love PROFESSIONAL frame off restoration which is photo documented. All parts used were NOS (NEW ORIGINAL STOCK) This was a meticulous restoration with no expense spared....they just don't come any better than this! This is a "JUDGED" car that scored over 950 out of a possible 1000 points. It has been the featured car in magazines and the subject of several articles. The magazines and articles will be included with the car as well as photo documentation of the restoration. It is the MOST heavily optioned 1962 Chevy SS Convertible I have personally EVER seen with OVER twenty options. I have been a car collector since 1958 and have seen and owned 1000's of collectable cars. In 1962 I factory ordered from my close friend Jim Rathmann in Melbourne,FL. a 404/409 4/speed Black with anniversary gold bucket seats hardtop SS Coupe. Jim won the Indy 500 in 1960 and his dealership furnished all the Corvettes to the astronauts in the 60's, 70's and 80's. When Jim passed away last year he was the oldest living Indy 500 winner.....we all miss him! I had lots of fun racing the car at various 1/4 mile tracks throughout the U.S.....but the 409 was not an engine that was built to last....derived from the 348 Chevy truck block....and turning it up over 6200-6500 rpms caused the failure of 5 engines....I ran out of money and patience after 10 months I gave up and sold my car. This Red/Red Chevy Impala SS Convertible is the car I wish I had bought back in 1962 instead of the 409! It has everything in the way of options and best of all it's a convertible!!! This engine combination (327/300HP) with the 4 speed and 3:70 ratio rear end is the very best for a gorgeous Chevy Convertible from this era. It has plenty of power yet has all the creature comforts as well.....and it's a real pleasure to drive...even on a long trip. A 409 with 340hp was offered but the 409 engine weighs almost 400 pounds more than this 327/300hp and the 409 engine makes this car "nose heavy" and therefore doesn't deliver near the ease of handling and driving pleasure as this 327/300hp. If you have ANY questions or wish to discuss the reserve or minimum acceptable price please call me at 954-873-6495. Also if you have a car or cars you might wish to offer in trade please send me photos to luvdg@aol.com and then call me to discuss the condition and perceived value of your car or cars. 1962 was the 1st year Chevy offered the Super Sport with bucket seats and a center sports console. The very 1st SS models appeared in the late Spring of 1961 on the 61 Models but only approx. 450 were built and these all had bench seats...not bucket seats.

Why not have fun with your money? ...enjoy your life and know that when you wake up in the morning your dollars are still safe in your garage or warehouse and haven't evaporated into thin air I was privileged to be close friends with the late Jerry J. Moore from Houston, Texas. Jerry was a Real Estate Mogul and one of the largest owners of shopping centers in the world. Jerry was also an avid car collector and amassed one of the largest and best vintage car collections on the Planet. If Jerry told me once....he probably told me over 100 times......"In case you forgot...remember..."You will never see a Brinks truck at a funeral service or a Hearse with a luggage rack at a cemetery!" Car collecting is a family thing...everyone around the world admires and loves these great vintage and collectible cars. We have sold cars from Australia to Alaska...From China to Saudi Arabia.....From Manhattan to Moscow....and the hobby keeps growing & expanding all the time. Collector car insurance is dirt cheap...about $250-$300 a year for a $75,000-$1000,000 car...full coverage! You do have to keep it in a garage and limit your miles to 2500 a year...other wise you might have to pay a little more. I always try and look for major flaws and mention them and try to point them out when I see something. Your welcome to come in person to inspect this car for yourself...hire anyone you like to come on your behalf....bring your magnets and magnifying glasses........see if you can find anything negative worth mentioning...We tried and couldn't find anything other than we stated in the description...maybe you can? We have tried diligently to find any MAJOR flaws in the paint, body, interior, chrome, glass, etc. and have not been able to locate anything that we could list as a MAJOR problem in the description. I truly believe there is no such thing as a "PERFECT" old car and we ARE NOT making such a claim.....but this car comes very, very close to perfection! We are urging you to PLEASE come and inspect the car in person, drive it or to hire an expert inspector to do this for you. AGAIN....Please do not ask us to recommend anyone....we want you to select & hire your own inspector. If you wish to schedule an appointment to see this car, please call me at 954-873-6495....We would appreciate at least a one day notice.

We know this is a Platinum investment collectable car....it is foolish to invest your hard earned dollars in clones and fakes....this is a car that you can still drive & enjoy and will increase in value...not decrease in value.....and if you chose to...you could drive it every day. Please don't buy a Museum quality car like this unless you have a garage to store it inside. We do not think this car has ever been left outside.

Detroit 3 to implement delayed unified towing standards for 2015
Tue, Feb 11 2014Car buyers have a responsibility to be well-informed consumers. That's not always a very simple task, but some guidelines are self-evident. If you live in a very snowy climate, you generally know a Ford Mustang or Chevrolet Camaro might not be as viable a vehicle choice as an all-wheel drive Explorer or Traverse, for example. If you want a fuel-efficient car, it's generally a good idea to know the difference between a diesel and a hybrid. But what if it's kind of tough to be an informed consumer? What if the information you need is more difficult to come by, or worse, based on different standards for each vehicle? Well, in that case, you might be a truck shopper. For years, customers of light-duty pickups have had to suffer through different ratings of towing capacities for each brand. For 2015 model year trucks, though, that will no longer be a problem. According to Automotive News, General Motors, Ford and Chrysler Group have announced that starting with next year's models, a common standard will be used to measure towing capacity. The Detroit Three will join Toyota, which adopted the Society of Automotive Engineers' so-called SAE J2807 standards way back in 2011. The standard was originally supposed to be in place for MY2013, but concerns that it would lower the overall stated capacity for trucks led Detroit automakers to pass. Ford originally passed, claiming it'd wait until its new F-150 was launched to adopt the new standards, leading GM and Ram to follow suit. Nissan, meanwhile, has said it will adopt the new standards as its vehicles are updated, meaning the company's next-generation Titan should adhere to the same tow ratings as its competitors. While the adoption of SAE J2807 will be helpful for light-duty customers, those interested in bigger trucks will still be left with differing standards. There is no sign of the new tow standards being adopted for the heavy-duty market.
2014 Chevrolet SS makes its live debut
Sat, 16 Feb 2013Chevrolet showed off the new 2014 SS in an airport hangar last night, its first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan in the US since the Impala SS from 1997. We'll have more to say about the SS later today, but this is the sedan that Chevrolet sees as the final piece in restoring its performance credentials. For those of you looking for a manual transmission, however, that wish will go unfulfilled - at least for now: the only two options buyers will have are the color and whether or not they want a sunroof.
We'll work on getting some more angles (in better light) today at Daytona International Speedway, but with fans seeing the car for the first time, we don't hold out much luck of getting a clear shot. So for now, enjoy the high-res gallery above.
Sunday Drive: Taking a gaze into the automotive crystal ball
Sun, Oct 22 2017Mankind has long been fascinated by the future. So it makes sense that this past week's top stories were all about cars, trucks, and SUVs that won't be hitting the market until the 2019 model year. And right at the top of the list is the Ram 1500. We've come to know Ram as the truck maker that styles its pickups with cues cribbed from big rigs, but that look has slowly evolved over time into something uniquely its own. The next Ram 1500 continues this trend, with a newly refined look that we can't wait to see in person. Up next is the 2019 Chevy Silverado. Pickup trucks have been, continue to be, and will remain the best-selling vehicles in America. And General Motors is a leader in the field, with two distinct offerings with which to entice buyers, one from the bread-and-butter Chevrolet brand and one wearing the slightly more upscale GMC badge. The Chevy looks to get LED lighting elements for 2019, which ought to keep the truck from looking dated when compared to the Ford F-150 and the previously mentioned Ram 1500. From there we move past pickup trucks and into SUVs and sedans. The 2019 Jeep Cherokee looks to get toned down a bit with its next refresh, and the '19 BMW 3 Series continues its slow evolutionary journey at the top of its aspirational sales pedestal. Finally, spy shots give way to official production reveals for the 2019 Audi A7 and Polestar 1. This pair of European luxury cars won't compete with one another – one is a rakish hatchback and the other a sports coupe – any further than for the eyeballs of our readers, but both proved popular enough to merit inclusion in our weekly roundup. As always, tune in to Autoblog next week for a front-row seat to all the happenings worth following in the automotive industry. 2019 Ram 1500 spotted without the classic crosshairs 2019 Chevy Silverado spied with new LED accents 2019 Jeep Cherokee reveals a much more normal face 2019 BMW 3 Series spy shots reveal production lights, new interior details 2019 Audi A7 revealed: More torque, refined styling Polestar 1 First Look | The 600 horsepower hybrid Scandinavian Green Audi BMW Chevrolet Jeep RAM Volvo Truck Hatchback SUV Future Vehicles Hybrid Luxury Performance Sedan sunday drive polestar 1
