1962 Chevrolet Impala Convertible

Description

A red on red 1962 Chevrolet Impala convertible, with plenty of great options, an upgraded overdrive transmission, and cold-blowing A/C is already a terrific classic. And that's before you know this car's international story.

The Impala might be a true classic American, but this car's history is truly European. It was under long term ownership with GI in Germany. In 1997 It was sold to its second owner in Holland. It remained there for a dozen years, and it was even restored in Holland. It came back to the USA in in 2009. Not only is the car's story impressive, but you get to tell it while showing off an iconic classic. The '62 Impala is one of the great cruisers, and it looks terrific finished a deep and glossy red. Wraparound chrome bumpers, dual antennas, the hallmark six-taillight arrangement, and a custom insert for the full-length trim deliver a convertible worthy of everyone's attention.

We like the way the white convertible top looks against the red, and it gets even better with the top down. There's something timelessly cool about a droptop with red inside and out. Plus, the white piping on the seats and two-tone steering wheel make this look like a Coca-Cola label. More than just look attractive, you get all the right features. This includes upgrades like a large tach and AM/FM/CD stereo mounted in the glovebox. And we know you'll love the power windows and power convertible top, because when combined, it means you never have to leave the driver's seat to go from enclosed comfort to a wind-in-your-hair experience. And since the upgraded R134a air conditioning is blowing nice and cold, you can enjoy top-down motoring long into the summer.

Under the hood, the 305 cubic-inch V8 looks quite fresh, and it should considering it was rebuilt only about 1,200 miles ago. There's some nice flair with the polished air topper, valve covers, alternator, and more. The V8 inhales deeply with an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, and it exhales with a sweet sound out of the dual exhaust. This feels solid on the road, and as you start to look over the whole car, you see the right features for easy cruising near or far. That's why there's power steering, front disc brakes, and an aluminum radiator w/electric fan to help keep it all running cool. There's even cruise control and a four-speed automatic transmission w/highway-friendly overdrive.

This Impala has all the best feature to really enjoy the classic car experience, and it has a story few have ever heard before. So if you're ready for a truly special classic, this international Impala is ready for you. Call today!!!
