The 1962 Impala introduced several changes to the entire lineup's styling but also under the hood. Chevrolet decided to release an upgraded version of the 283 as a 328ci (5.4-liter) option developing either 250 or 300 horsepower.
The same engine powers the Impala that we have here, but the unit under the hood isn’t the only tidbit setting this model apart from the rest of the crowd.

What we have here is a lot more special than a typical ’62 Impala. It’s said to be the Golden Anniversary SS model, which according to estimates, has been produced as part of a very limited series that included only approximately 350 units. It goes without saying that only a few of them can still be found these days.

First and foremost, eBay seller bombz39 promises this is a survivor, which should guarantee the car is all-original and comes in an unmolested state. The car has never been involved in an accident, they say. Still, the body has already received a repaint at some point during its lifetime and now comes with only small scratches here and there.

The owner guarantees there’s zero rust on the car, but as always, we still recommend every potential buyer to inspect the car closely before the purchase.

On the other hand, the interior is fully original and untouched, and everything is supposed to be working except for the radio.

This Impala has always been parked in a garage and has never been in the rain, and that is the reason it’s still in a pretty good shape with almost everything in working condition. It comes with power steering and power brakes, and the owner has also installed new tires that go with the car.

As for the price, the Impala isn’t listed for auction but sold directly for $50,000. You can see it in person in Albuquerque, New Mexico; some other offers might be considered too.
