1962 Impala SS Real SS * A/C *Disc Brakes Original Tuxedo Black with Red Bucket Seat Interior This 1962 Impala SS was built as a Factory Tuxedo Black exterior car with (875) Red Vinyl SS Bucket Seat interior. Making this car not only an amazing color combination but also collectible with its SS badging. Unlike later years of SS’s, they cannot be decoded by their vin number but rather by their cowl tag. This is a real #875 trimmed car meaning she started life as a real “SS”. The engine code is (TO414S) 327 250hp. Cowl Reads: Style 62-1847 Body SL 40265 Trim 875 Paint 900 CC 12H 1B Highlights:
The last owner had this car for the last 25 years and used to to travel the country to attend car shows. The only reason it is available now, is that he is ready to build his next car. This is the type of ride that your wife can hop in and drive. Easy to handle, starts right up and is a pleasure to cruise. Its 327 250hp engine has a nice rumble that you don't always hear with Impalas. All the gauges work and has an aftermarket radio in the glove box. Drive in comfort with working Heat and Air Conditioning. Really is a pleasure to cruise and even has upgraded front disc brakes. We pride ourselves of actually describing our cars, so you can visualize what you can't always see in a photograph. This is an older restoration but we appreciate it as it sits. It is extremely straight....of the hundreds of Impalas we have seen, this one has to be one the straightest! And that is saying a lot when it comes to Impala quarters. This is a car you can cruise now and enjoy and as time allows you to do your own touches. We considered repainting it and redoing some interior pieces but the more you are around the car its nostalgic feel and it really is in amazing cndition. Take a look at the pictures and ask any questions you may have. I think you will be able to see what an honest car this Impala SS is. 1962 Impala History: The 1962 model featured new "C" pillar styling. The Sport Coupe models now featured the "convertible roof" styling, shared with other GM "B" full size hardtop coupes. This style proved extremely popular, and contributed to the desirability of the '62–'64 Impalas as collectibles. Impalas again featured premium interior appointments, plusher seats, and more chrome trim outside, including a full-width aluminum-and-chrome panel to house the triple-unit taillight assembly. Super Sport (SS) models featured that panel in a special engine-turned aluminum, which was also used to fill the side moldings, making the SS more distinctive in appearance. Paint/Exterior: Original Tuxedo Black car that has been repainted about 20 years ago with a quality paint job. Although, since it has been so long there is some checking on the roof some places where the paint has thinned and of course some rock chips. But, since it was a quality paint job it has a vintage feel unlike a ‘bad or cheap” paint job that has overspray and just looks terrible. There are two spots photographed that have small rust bubbles. The underside of the car is in extremely solid and original condition without any rust repairs or problems. You will be impressed with her metal. Bumpers are in great shape and so is all the trim and emblems. It does need its window felts replaced they have basically disintegrated from time. Window trim and side trim, grill and accents all do look really good. The drivers wind-wing glass does have a crack in it. Interior: Original Red Vinyl SS Bucket Seat Interior that was redone some time ago. Drivers seat does have a few tears but the rest has held up amazingly well. The carpet shows just a little wear. The dash, headliner, sill plates and back seat are all amazingly nice. Take a look at the pictures it really does look good. Engine/Trans: Powered by a strong running 327 250hp V8 engine that really sounds great. (Engine Code TO414S). She can sit for weeks and will still start right up with out the need of a trickle charger on her. She has quite a rumble for an impala that will impress fans of muscle cars and hot rods. She is shifted by a power-glide that makes her drive extremely easy and reliable. I wouldn't be afraid to drive this car anywhere!! She does't get hot and again, this is a easy to drive and no-nonsense classic cruiser ...harder to find then you would initially think. Wheels/Tires: Very cool looking Authentic Vintage American Racing Wheels wrapped in BF Goodrich Radial T/A’s that still have quite a bit of tread on them.

Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards
Fri, 22 Feb 2013The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D.

The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.

Why does the Corvette Stingray have so many vents? Here's why
Sun, 27 Jan 2013Just looking at the new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, it's not hard to see that the car's design was created with aerodynamics at the forefront, but Chevrolet designers point out exactly what went into designing the iconic coupe in a pair of recently released videos. The videos show the Corvette going through early design phases, including clay models and wind tunnel tests, as well as talking to the car's chief engineer, Tadge Juechter.
Both videos help explain various aspects of the C7 Corvette, but it's the aero tuning of the car that is most interesting. This includes extra attention paid to the lower air dam and vented hood to help reduce drag and lift, while the rear quarter inlets are for differential and transmission cooling. Juechter said that some of these aero-tuned elements were inspired from GM's involvement in racing.
If you have about five minutes and you can't get enough information about the new 'Vette, then check out the videos posted below.
Why the Corvette is Chevrolet's billion-dollar baby
Thu, 28 Feb 2013Edmunds has worked up a piece that tries to figure out just how much the global Chevrolet Corvette economy is worth, a spitballed guesstimate putting the number at more than $2.5 billion with the proviso that the number is probably low. It starts by taking Corvette's new car sales of 14,132 units last year, which would equate to $714,725,900 (including destination) assuming ever car sold was a base coupe with no options. In the final tally, a little extra padding gets that number up to $750,000,000.
But that's not all. Consider this: Many of the almost 1.4 million Corvettes produced over the model's history are still on the road. There are new parts being produced and aftermarket companies like Mid-America Motorworks deaing business, that single Illinois company doing more than $40 million a year in sales. There are the Corvette events large and small, restorers who do nothing but Corvettes, salvage yards that deal only in used Corvette parts and the Corvette magazines where owners find all this stuff.
And then there are the Corvette-themed tchotchkes, every single one of which provides a tiny contribution to the huge licensing royalties that General Motors collects every year. The article admits there's no way to come to an accurate number, but it just goes to show how valuable one specific model can be to a company.
