THIS IS AN ORIGINAL 1962 IMPALA SUPER SPORT CONVERTIBLE THAT WAS REPAINTED APPROX. 24 YEARS AGO IN ORIGINAL COLOR---AQUA. I PURCHASED FROM THE SECOND OWNER WHO PURCHASED THE CAR IN 1988. THIS CAR HAS THE ORIGINAL 283 ENGINE WITH THE CORRECT TO727D--WHICH IS 283 W/ POWERGLIDE. IT HAS THE ORIGINAL CAST IRON POWERGLIDE, AND IT SHIFTS AND DRIVES FINE. I WILL DESCRIBE THIS CAR AS HONESTLY AS POSSIBLE, AND HOPE IT WILL SATISFY YOU. I HAVE CHECKED THIS CAR , AND THE ONLY SIGN OF BODY WORK I SEE IS IN THE REAR WHEEL LIP AND BOTTOM OF THE REAR FENDERS--UNDER THE BOTTOM EDGE. THE FRONT FENDERS SEEM VERY NICE--AND THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY CAPS OR PATCH WORK ABOVE THE HEADLIGHTS---IT FEELS AND LOOKS PERFECT UNDERNEATH THEM. THE FRAME SEEMS VERY SOLID,THE FLOORS SEEM VERY SOLID FRONT AND BACK, AND THE TRUNK IS ALSO VERY SOLID. THE BODY MOUNTS ALSO LOOK FINE. THIS IS A 50 YEAR OLD CAR THAT HAS BEEN PRESERVED VERY WELL. THE ORIGINAL INTERIOR IS VERY NICE, WITH ONLY A SMALL TEAR ON THE REAR LEFT PASSENGER SEAT. THE DOOR PANELS AND CARPET LOOK GREAT,THE DASH IS NOT PADDED AND IS VERY NICE. ALL THE GAUGES AND IDIOT LIGHTS WORK,THE CLOCK DOES NOT. THE RADIO WORKS WELL. THE WINDSHIELD HAS NO CHIPS OR SCRATCHES---THE WINDOWS ROLL UP AND DOWN FINE. THE HEADLIGHTS ARE 3T LIGHTS,AND ALL WORK WELL. THE BUMPERS ARE EXCELLENT---AND MUST HAVE BEEN REPLATED YEARS AGO.THE SIDE MOULDINGS ARE NOT DENTED, AND ARE THE CORRECT ENGINE TURNED FINISH FOR SUPER SPORT. THE POWER TOP WORKS PERFECTLY, AND IS USABLE AS IS. IT DOES HAVE FOUR VERY SMALL HOLES ABOVE ONE OF THE RIBS, BUT NOT A PROBLEM IF YOU WANT A GREAT DRIVER.THE TOP BOOT IS ALSO ORGINAL AND HAS A COUPLE VERY SMALL HOLES. IF YOU WANT A PERFECT SHOW CAR YOU WILL REPLACE IT ANYWAY. THE TIRES ARE OLD BIAS PLY--AND WILL PROBABLY NEED REPLACING IF IT IS TO BE DRIVEN ALOT. I DRIVE THIS CAR UP TO 70MPH--AND IT RUNS GREAT--DRIVES STRAIGHT--CRUISES VERY SMOOTH. I WOULD NOT HESSITATE TAKING A TRIP IN THIS CAR--SEEMS VERY ROAD WORTHY. A CAR COVER ALSO COMES WITH THIS CAR. I HAVE OWNED ALOT OF OLD CARS, AND I FEEL THIS ONE IS PERFECT FOR EITHER A FUN CRUISER, OR A FINE CANDIDATE FOR A FULL RESTORATION. ALL THE HARD TO FIND PARTS ARE THERE AND IN GREAT SHAPE. THE SPARE TIRE IS ALSO AN OLD BIAS PLY, WITH THE ORIGINAL JACK SECURED UNDER IT. THIS CAR IS NOT PERFECT, AND THE RESERVE PRICE WILL BE VERY FAIR. OLD CARS PRICE GUIDE HAS THIS CAR AT $30,000 FOR A NUMBER 3, AND 14,500 FOR A NUMBER 4.I HOPE YOU AGREE THIS IS NOT A NUMBER 4, I FEEL IT IS CLOSER TO A NUMBER 3. THE CAR IS IN--FT MYERS FLORIDA. NO TEST DRIVES---NO CHECKS. CAR DOES NOT MOVE TILL MONEY IS IN PAY-PAL ACCOUNT, OR WIRED TO MY BANK. IF YOU ARE A SCAMMER--SAVE YOUR TIME!--- I WILL ANSWER EMAIL AS BEST I CAN---WHEN DID YOU LAST SEE AN ORIG. 62 SS CONVERT? WHY BUY A TRAILER QUEEN? DRIVE IT, HAVE A BALL--AND LET IT APPRECIATE! THANKS FOR YOUR TIME On Mar-31-11 at 05:50:29 PDT, seller added the following information: THANKS FOR YOUR TIME (THE TITLE IS A CLEAR FLORIDA TITLE---EBAY ENTERED IT WRONG----CLEAR TITLE!) On Apr-03-11 at 05:46:06 PDT, seller added the following information: I have received many questions about his car---yes it is a real super sport---no I dont know the history of the car other than it came to florida from penn. It was bought in 1988. I recently bought the car because he was moving out of state and had no room for it at the new home. The bottom of the car was undercoated when it was painted 23 years ago--I tried to upload a picture but it just looked black---again --this car is very nice--very restorable if you want a perfect car--and a great fun cruiser as is---I took it to a local car show---and the people were all around it taking pictures. These super sport convertibles are hard to find--and the current high bid is just above a number 4 car in the old car price guide. I have described this car as best I can,and I feel it is closer to being a #3 condition. I will answer emails as quickly as I can----thanks On Apr-04-11 at 13:58:23 PDT, seller added the following information: Because of the interest in my car-I will return all emails tues after 4pm EST. I will answer questions as best as I can. The car will remain in my garage with the cover on until pickup is completed. As I said before this is a nice car--the 283 engine runs smooth with no knocks-clicks-or funny noises.. The car starts easily, drives fine,stops fine,headlights all work,taillights all work,license plate light works,backup lights work.The wipers work fine--but I think the blades need replacing as they look original.
