Up for sale is my 1962 Impala SS. I have owned this car 7 years. All I have done is tune it up and drive it on the weekends. New Edelbrock card and air cleaner (have the original Rochester and air cleaner), Petronix points conversion (just for reliability), 327 4 barrel factory with a powerglide. Car is complete and drives great. minor power steering leak but that's normal, Minor rust here and there nothing bad. Like I said this is a survivor car that was repainted in the 70's from my guess. All numbers match as they should. Drivers window needs a lower frame. Car has factory power brakes also. This is a great and easy restoration. I have 2 others and this one is the best of all my cars. I am not in a jam to sell it, just putting it out there to see if someone has to have it. Trunk, quarters, doors, hood, deck lid all rust free. Minor rust in the lower front fenders and on small spot on the drivers floor. BY NO MEANS IS THIS A RUST BUCKET! I have had over 20 Impala's of this era and I know these cars to well. This is the best 62 survivor I have ever had. The original hubcaps are included and the dog dish ones also. If there is a pic with Rally's on it those wheels are on my 63 now and do not come with this car. Right now the Car has the Original 14 inch wheels and BRAND NEW Hankook Whitewalls with the dog dish hubcaps on it. I am posting a lot of pics over the last couple years but the car has not changed. Always stored indoors and covered since I have owned it. Great car and if it doesn't sell I 'll keep it. Thanks and good luck. Cash only please. TN Title in my name in hand!

Ok, I have had a ton of email on the SS thing. I'll just say IT IS NOT AN SS so the bickering will stop, my appologies. I will post the VIN and Cowl Tag info shortly and you all can decide.
On a lighter note I forgot to mention a few new items I have done to the car are:
- All new Energy Suspension bushings for the rear suspenstion are installed
- All new Coil springs installed
- All new shocks installed
- New master cylinder
- New radiator
- Has a 1 wire alternator on it (but the harness has not been spliced or cut)
- Have 2 spare wiper motors (the one in it is tempermental)
- New Energy Suspension front sway bar bushings
- There's morre but I can't remeber everything......
With all that said I have driven the car 60-70 miles a day around the area with no issues. Would I drive it to Florida (600 miles) tomorrow? I would want to go through it a little more so I suggest if you are not with in a safe radius (50-100 miles) you trailer it. Yes it is the original 327 and it has never been reduilt or touched along with the powerglide. Still has the Rams-Head manifolds on it. No, I will not tell you my reserve. Remeber I do not have to sell it, just will part with it for the right price. Let's just say I have seen recently some real junkers on here lately go for alot more than my reserve. Hope everyone is happy now. Good luck and have a blessed day.

'84 MotorWeek Cherokee, Bronco and Blazer comparison indulges your SUV nostalgia
Fri, Jan 16 2015These days, truck-based, full-frame SUVs are somewhat of a rarity on the auto landscape due to the rapid rise in popularity of easier-driving, car-based crossovers. Although, without the gradually building popularity of these chunky, high-riding vehicles decades ago, it's unlikely that America's roads would be filled with so many CUVs today. In its latest dig into the archives, MotorWeek has found a 1984 comparison test of a trio of these early Sport Utility Wagons, as long-time host John Davis called them, that helped get acceptance of this segment going. This is a red, white and blue test of the SUVs from American automakers at the time and pits the Chevrolet Blazer, Ford Bronco and Jeep Cherokee (specifically in Wagoneer guise) against each other. Driving manners and interior usability are considered in the evaluation, but Motorweek actually takes these vehicles off road, too. Among the bigger revelations is the improvement in on-road ability in the past 30 years. While specific 0-60 times aren't given, all three models take around 10 seconds just to get to around 50 miles per hour in the 500-feet on-ramp acceleration test. Check out this clip to see just how far this segment has progressed in the past three decades or just get a blast of nostalgia from these now vintage models.

Chevy Corvette Stingray picks up another award, this time from Automobile
Mon, 18 Nov 2013The new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray has picked up another buff book accolade after capturing Road and Track's Performance Car of the Year award. The seventh-generation of America's sports car (sorry Viper, Mustang, et al.) has been named Automobile Magazine's Automobile of the Year.
Automobile's award to the Corvette over competitors is the mirror image of its rival Motor Trend, which named the Cadillac CTS its car of the year over the C7. The CTS was, according to the Automobile team, the closest contender to the mighty Stingray. Great news all around for General Motors it seems.
As for what pushed the Corvette past its distant, four-door cousin, Automobile commended its excellent, 6.2-liter V8 calling the car's performance "simply awesome" while also remarking that it is easier to drive fast than ever before thanks to steering and chassis tweaks. Following a theme set by other publications, there were also plaudits for the interior, of all things, with the buff book complimenting the car's ergonomics and material quality, while also praising the standard seats.
Chevy Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo concept blends the past and the future
Wed, 19 Nov 2014The Chevrolet Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo is the rare concept car that salutes a seminal moment in history, yet also borders on science fiction.
Revealed Wednesday at the Los Angeles Auto Show, the concept uses the name of one of Chevy's historic racing partnerships, with Chaparral Racing, which dates to the 1960s. Chaparrals raced successfully at a range of levels, including IndyCar, Trans-Am and SCCA competition.
But the history ends there, as the concept's main purpose is as a racecar in a downloadable update for the PlayStation 3 game Gran Turismo 6.
