This 1962 Chevrolet Impala Sport Coupe is finished in red with a white top over black upholstery and is equipped with a 283ci V8 mated to a two-speed automatic transmission. Refurbishment work is said to have included a repaint along with replacement of the carpeting and seat upholstery. Features include a silver-finished tail panel and side trim, 17″ US Mags wheels, electronic ignition, an aluminum radiator, and an AM radio. This Impala was acquired by the selling dealer in 2022, reportedly from its previous owner of 39 years, and is now offered in Maryland with a clean West Virginia title.
The car was refinished in red with a white hard top. Features include a silver-finished tail panel and side trim as well as chrome bumpers, dual mirrors, a fender-mounted antenna, Impala badging, and a side-exit exhaust system. The window chrome trim has pitting, the vent windows show delamination, and there are paint chips around the wheel openings.
The 17″ US Mag wheels are mounted with Matrix Tour RS tires that measure 215/55 up front and 235/55 out back and show 2021 date codes. The car is equipped with manual steering and four-wheel drum brakes.
The cabin features front and rear bench seats that were reupholstered in black vinyl with diamond-pattern stitching and are joined by a color-coordinated dashboard, door panels, and replacement carpets. Equipment includes manual crank windows and an AM radio. The radio knobs are missing, and there are cracks on the dash pad.
The two-spoke steering wheel frames a 120-mph horizontal-sweep speedometer, an analog clock, and gauges for coolant temperature and fuel level. The five-digit odometer shows 73k miles, a handful of which were added by the selling dealer. Total mileage is unknown.
The 283ci V8 was factory rated at 170 horsepower and is equipped with Chevrolet-script valve covers, a replacement two-barrel carburetor, and a snorkel air cleaner. Modifications include an aluminum radiator and a Pertronix electronic ignition. The engine has been refinished, and overspray is present on various components.
Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a two-speed Powerglide automatic transmission.
