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.

The previous owner had this car in his stable for the last 25 years and used to to travel the country to attend car shows.  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.  Please take a look at the photographs and if you are interested or have any additional questions please don't hesitate to call me 818-398-1829

Ram 1500 bests new F-150 in MT pickup shootout

Tue, Nov 25 2014

Ford's 2015 Ford F-150 is a technological tour-de-force, what with its aluminum-intensive construction and its powerful and efficient new 2.7-liter EcoBoost engine option. But now that it's hit the market, it's time to get down to brass tacks and find out how just the latest F-150 actually stands up to its rivals in the hyper-competitive fullsize segment. Motor Trend is among the first to round up the Ford (in Lariat 2.7-liter 4X4 guise here) and put it up against the Ram 1500 Outdoorsman EcoDiesel 4x4 and 5.3-liter-equipped Silverado 1500 LTZ Z71 to find out how Dearborn's new-think truck measures up. The test put the trio through over 1,000 miles of tough driving in California and Arizona in a variety of conditions from just cruising around unladen to hauling a trailer. MT found all three trucks to be competent, but the most praise got heaped on the Ram and the Ford, with the Chevrolet falling a step behind its competitors in many tests. Among the Ford's most-liked features was its 2.7-liter, twin-turbo V6 that helped make the F-150 easily the quickest of the group, with some editors saying the engine felt about the same whether driving around with cargo in the bed or not. There was some minor turbo lag during acceleration while trailering, but that issue affected the Ram, too. The Ram's powertrain was lauded, as well. The EcoDiesel was torquey around town, and the 1500's combination of an eight-speed automatic and air suspension was judged to be the best of the lot. It was the most difficult to get into the bed, though. The Ram also won the fuel economy award by netting 20-miles-per-gallon city and 28-mpg highway in the test to beat its Environmental Protection Agency ratings of 19/27. The Ford's EcoBoost managed 17/22, one mpg off each from the EPA numbers, and using a lot of throttle really depleted its efficiency. As MT notes, however, it would take time for the diesel's mileage savings to pay off at the pump for these two trucks. In the end, the Ram just barely eked out the win, with the title partially earned because of "the Ford's unknown maintenance and aluminum repair costs," according to MT.

GM resumes production of its 3.0-liter turbodiesel straight-six

Sat, Nov 20 2021

General Motors temporarily stopped taking orders for trucks and SUVs equipped with the 3.0-liter Duramax turbodiesel six-cylinder engine in August 2021 due to a supplier shortage. Reports claimed the pause would last through 2021, but the engine is already back in production. Enthusiast website GM Authority learned from sources inside General Motors that the straight-six is once again coming off the assembly line at the Flint Engine Plant in Flint, Michigan. There's no official word on precisely what the problem was linked to and whether it was related to the on-going chip shortage that's wreaking havoc across the automotive industry. All we know is that the pause lasted for about two weeks. Called LM2 internally, the six is available in Chevrolet's Tahoe, Suburban, and Silverado 1500 and in GMC's version of these trucks. It's also an option in the Cadillac Escalade. It develops 277 horsepower at 3,750 rpm and a V8-like 460 pound-feet of torque at 1,500 rpm in every application, and it allows these big behemoths to post surprising fuel economy numbers. Fitted to a rear-wheel-drive Tahoe, the Duramax returns 21 mpg in the city, 28 mpg on the highway, and 24 mpg in a combined cycle, figures that make it more efficient than a Blazer. Demand for the diesel-powered trucks is relatively high. While the shortage undoubtedly took a toll on sales, the Duramax represented 8% of Suburban sales and 6% of Tahoe sales in May 2021. There are no other diesel-burning full-size SUVs available new so they have the market to themselves. On the truck side, Ram still makes the EcoDiesel available on some 1500 trims but Ford abandoned the segment.

Europeans ask Chevy to bring Volt back to Europe

Fri, Aug 14 2015

A group of French fans is asking for a jolt of support from General Motors to get the 2016 Chevrolet Volt across the pond. The Association Amperistes et Amis des Vehicules Rechargeables is running a Change.org petition that currently has 383 signatures out of a goal of 500. While the attempt is admirable, it's probably going to take a lot more than several hundred people for the model to make a return to the continent after the poor showing of the Opel Ampera – first-gen Volt's European cousin. The group's major argument for bringing a version of the second-gen Volt to Europe is that consumers need "an intermediate choice between expensive or range-limited pure electric cars and plug-in hybrids with a miserable electric range." Furthermore, such a vehicle would prod the competition to produce similarly efficient electrified models. They also lavish praise on the abilities of the Ampera for its long EV driving range. The supporters aren't entirely kind to GM in the petition, though, and claim the company excluded the original car from marketing efforts there. The Ampera actually enjoyed a strong European launch with more orders than initially expected and briefly topped the best-sellers list among EVs there. It was even named 2012 European Car of the Year. Those halcyon days didn't last long, and by 2014 sales fell off to a trickle. The waning reception caused GM's decision not to introduce a version of the new 2016 Volt there or in Australia. Related Video:
