Looking to make an impact behind the wheel of one of the most coveted classics ever to hit the boulevard? Then you'll definitely want to check out this 1962 Chevrolet Impala Restomod. This founding member of cruising royalty is decked out with aggressively sized, staggered 20"/22" wheels and a tastefully striking paint job that can't help but attract attention. Yet, it also boasts a downright impressive level of factory-correctness both inside and out. Yep, that Roman Red exterior mirrors the same shade it rolled off the assembly line with, and it's ornamented by chrome trim that's in top form. But this standout ride isn't just about aesthetics. It also features an assembly of quality mechanical components that combine to create an outstanding driving experience.
The ultra-clean state of the interior is a good indication that it received a thorough refurbishment not long ago, and its consistently factory-correct configuration shows plenty of attention to detail. The combination of the fresh vinyl and cloth bench seating accompanied by matching door panels and carpeting creates quite an impression, and the well-fitted white headliner above adds just the right amount of contrast. The aftermarket custom billet steering wheel is perched on a Flaming River tilt column that puts it in just the right position, and the painted dash beyond it features a collection of Dakota Digital gauges to monitor motoring functions. A vintage-look AM/FM stereo with an auxiliary port has been seamlessly recessed into the center of the dash, and with the added climate control system functioning flawlessly, you and your passengers will ride in comfort throughout the year.
Beneath the hood, a 350-cubic-inch crate V8 engine stands by in a very clean compartment, ready for action and outfitted with a Weiand intake manifold and Fi-Tech fuel injection to maximize its output, adjustability, and all-weather dependability. It pairs with a four-speed automatic 700R4 transmission with an overdrive gear to keep engine revs nice and low during highway driving. Up front, a sizable aluminum radiator teams with a pair of electric fans for outstanding engine temperature control. And with a well-chosen assembly of Ridetech suspension components in place at both ends, this Chevy's handling ability and ride quality are sure to put a smile on your face.
