Description

An extraordinary opportunity to acquire a true 1962 Chevrolet Impala Convertible time capsule with under 9,000 original miles. This is very likely one of the lowest-mileage 1962 Impala convertibles in existence.

The mileage is fully documented, including a notarized statement from the original owner confirming accuracy. The car remains remarkably original throughout, retaining its factory paint, which presents in excellent condition with no dents. The level of preservation is immediately apparent and must be seen in person to be fully appreciated.

Accompanying the car is an exceptional archive of original documentation, including the original build sheet, dealer bill of sale, shipping documents, owner’s protection booklet, insurance and registration records, and a handwritten mileage log maintained by the original owner documenting fuel stops and oil changes from new. The first fuel entry was recorded at less than 20 miles, on the day the car was purchased new. A copy of the original title is also included.

Mechanically, the car is equipped with its original 283 V8 paired with the Powerglide automatic transmission, along with power steering, power brakes, padded dash, and power convertible top. The vehicle still retains factory chalk markings, a detail rarely seen at this level of originality.

Notably, the original owner replaced all four tires in 1962 for a wider stance; the original spare tire remains in the trunk and appears never to have been used. Even the warranty paperwork for the factory plastic seat covers is included—now expired, but preserved as part of the car’s history.

This Impala is best described as a reference-quality survivor, suitable for a museum or premier collection. It is not intended as a driver or show cruiser; rather, it stands as a rare preservation piece whose mileage, documentation, and originality place it in a class of its own.
