1962 Chevrolet Impala SS409 Details and Test Drive

[@desertsquid9449]

My dad took me with him to purchase this car when I was 7. Still remember riding home. It was his baby and he kept it until he passed. It now belongs to me. So cool to drive around definitely turns heads. Not for sale.

[@Muffin192213]

Very nice, and didn't i hear him say we were going for a ride after the walk around?? maybe i was just dreaming, LOL.

[@TigerDominic-uh1dv]

I Liked 👍 The Grill And Tail Lights 😊

[@chadnordhoff9591]

My dad had one. My mom wrecked it. They stayed married so it must have been love.

Stupid story

@@GabrielGiron-g5o thanks for the input trollsy.

[@randymack2222]

There is a ding in the taillight panel! It sticks out like a sore thumb.

[@buixrule]

Two dings actually. One smaller one between the 2nd and 3rd tail light on left side. None of those would be much of a deal breaker though tbh.

[@twgarage-terrywatson1672]

There is dings all over this car, paint bubbling etc. Still a great car. They aren’t advertising as a perfect car or perfect unrestored. A decent driver quality. 63 console is nice but incorrect. A lot of incorrect items wheels, Radiator, Air Cleaner. I’d still drive it. lol

[@gthompson8464]

425 hp disnt come out until 63. 62 was 409/409

[@busterb11702]

Correct. At the time it was a big deal to produce 1 hp per cubic inch.

[@kepelli1]

Test drive?

[@derrickjackson6737]

That’s my Granddaddy 62 Rip Pop Gone not Forgotten 1917-1994

[@petercarey6883]

This one hits all the marks Tony, but you didn't say what carburation it has. I think only the two-fours had 425hp that you mentioned it had. What I'd like to see on this beauty is the factory SS spinner hubcaps. After that, it would time to ride and show it. Save the Wave🙋‍♂

[@larryshaw8711]

Obviously a 63+ engine if it's 425 hp. Also the 62 had a black painted dual snorkel air cleaner, chrome wasn't till 63

[@matthewowens455]

I don’t see any test drive

[@brucesvanda8662]

Yeah 409 in 62 409 hp

[@haraldh.8223]

Cool

[@gramps6334]

Didn't see the factory tach or the aluminum stamped inner fenders. Didn't mention the aluminum hood either. ????

[@larryshaw8711]

What you're speaking of was the very rare z11 option

[@gramps6334]

@@larryshaw8711 I think you're right

[@Ronmcculley]

Only made 3 of them in 62. They were the experimental Z 11's. 409 bored to 427 with T-10 4 speed trannys and 4:11 posi rears also street legal. 63 only produced 57 Z11's that were said to be rated at 435 h.p. for insurance purposes only. Was more like 570+h.p. "OLD RELIABLE" Was one of them. The Z11's were running 10.80 thru the 1/4 mile. Ford built the ThunderBolt to compete against them but still lost.

Right...No Facebook or Twitter feeds!!!

[@jwrappuhn71]

Very nice.

[@MrRebelss]

Too bad they wrecked it with the wrong wheels, tire size, and 1967 opt red lines. Another shade tree mess.

[@boblewis7987]

console is not orig.......its a 63

[@tomframe2895]

The 409/ 425 horsepower didn’t come out until 1963. Not in 1962.

[@upandabove567]

to many red flags this can seems to be a fake 409 car

[@GabrielGiron-g5o]

You shouldnt be talking on your phone while you drive anyway

[@mikejones1478]

Terrible orange peel, bubbled front hood lip, waves galore Ugghhh unpainted jambs, bubbled drivers vent window, dinged aluminim dash insert and rear cove panel, etc etc etc. 👎👎

[@danielborrowdale3903]

[@Ronmcculley]
