Old geezer that purchased his second 1962 Impala 3 years ago. I purchased the first one forty-four years ago. The first was a '62 SS, 327-300 h.p., 4-speed, Honduras maroon . This one is an Impala ( not SS ) but I believe it's an original 4-speed, very close to Honduras Maroon. When I purchased this car it had a 350 which I quickly replaced with a professionally built 327-300 h.p. block from a '65 car. Elderbrock heads and intake, Holley carb, Isky roller rockers and cam, Hooker headers and March serpentine belt system ( expensive ! ). About 400 h.p. It's a driver but very nice from about 5 ft. Have replaced all bushings under car and on suspension, put in 355 gears with posi, new shocks and springs ( cut 1 coil off the front springs ). It rides and drives great - May take a trip up route 66 with my wife when she retires.
I'm interested in reading any inf. on the '62's.
