1962 Chevrolet Impala Base

In 1962, Chevrolet’s third-generation Impala was updated with styling that softened the flamboyant, finned lines of the ‘61 model in favor of a sleeker, boxier appearance. The '62 Impala retained its signature triple taillights, and Sport Coupe models received a new "convertible-style" roofline. A wide range of V8 engines were available, most notably the track-dominating 409ci big-block that inspired the Beach Boys to write “409,” a Billboard Top 100 hit. This ‘62 Sport Coupe was fitted with a later-model 425 horsepower 409ci V8 and a Muncie four-speed manual transmission as part of a refurbishment carried out under previous ownership. The car is finished in Raven Black with Roman Red accents over red upholstery. A trio of aftermarket gauges have been fitted below the dashboard, and additional appointments include an AM radio, Impala-branded rubber floor mats, and lap belts. This 1962 Chevrolet Impala Sport Coupe is now offered in Nevada with a clean California title in the seller’s name.
