How About a Clean '62 Chevy Impala To Spruce Up That Classic Car Collection?

After all, we all have one favorite Impala that we'd take home in a heartbeat, don't we? Whether it is one of the beautifully shaped first, second, or third generations, the slightly boxier fourth, fifth, and sixth generations, or something more modern, we won't judge you if you tell us your guilty Impala pleasure.

Heck, you may even go for something fresher that saw the light of day last decade, too. And if you do, you'd likely save yourself the hassle of owning a classic car that can constantly break down. But you would also miss out on those gorgeous looks and spartan layouts, which is why the ideal Impala to us was built from 1958 to 1964.

As we already told you, the one pictured in the gallery above came to life in 1962, which places it in the third generation. It was offered in multiple body styles, all of them featuring rear-wheel drive, and while the least desirable ones featured a straight-six, most of them were fitted with a V8 before leaving the assembly line, mated to a manual or an automatic gearbox.

This '62 copy has a 283 ci V8 said to have been bored .030 over and rebuilt in 2017. The automatic transmission was installed in the same year, and it also benefits from new coil springs, front disc brakes, and power steering. As a result, it should be a peach to drive. Moreover, you won't sweat on the seats either, as it has air conditioning.

Speaking of the interior, the dominating hue here is red, which goes perfectly with the white exterior and numerous chrome appointments inside and out, contributing to the classic car look. This old-timer Impala is said to have covered around 6,000 miles (~9,600 km) since it was brought back to its initial shine and has been in the same home for the last seven years.

All we have to tell you before wrapping it up is how much it costs, and that would be $34,900. Is it a good deal? You should be the judge of that, especially since you can buy a brand-new Malibu from $25,000 before destination, options, and dealer markups, or a Traverse or a Blazer, which start from the equivalent of $35,000.
