Beneath its glossy black paint and crimson interior lies a 1962 Chevrolet Impala that hits all the sweet spots of classic performance and presence. Under the hood, the numbers-matching 327 V‑8 snarls through a 700R‑4 overdrive transmission, delivering reliable power and highway cruising comfort. Dual exhausts and finned aluminum valve covers let this Impala announce its arrival in style, while the Edelbrock carburetor and aftermarket tach hint at its lively street personality.
This is no ordinary '6. Just one year after Chevy's iconic redesign, this Impala coupe retains the sleek roofline and slab-sided elegance that make it one of Chevy's most collectible models. Its rarity is underscored by the combination of rare A/C and manual steering/brakes—features often swapped out or bypassed in restorations, yet faithfully preserved here for driving authenticity.
Inside, a wood-grain steering wheel brings a touch of vintage flavor, while the Lokar shifter and crisp drum-brake setup offer a hands-on connection to the road. It's the kind of ride that rewards drivers who still appreciate manual control, where steering effort and pedal feel deepen the bond between man and machine.
Adding modern-day comfort to classic cool, the air conditioning ensures you can still enjoy summer cruising without breaking a sweat. And riding on 15-inch Cragar SS wheels, this Impala balances heritage appeal with just enough muscle-car attitude.
This '62 Impala is a rare hybrid of stock-correct provenance and tasteful hot-rodding—a car that respects its past but isn't afraid to entertain the here and now. It's a head-turner, a conversation starter, and above all, a driver-first classic with nothing held back.
