Yes, 62 bubble, it is all original, all matching, I could save motor but it is currently locked up from sitting and I really want to put my 409 in it.You should attempt to find a roof from a 62 Impala, just in case the A Pillar post is bent. That is the post at the wing window.. If that post is bent, you will need to cut that front wing window post at the very bottom where it meets the bottom corner of the windshield opening. The roofs of the 62 thru 64 are the same, except for that front pillar post as mentioned above. That post on the 62 is curved , whereas that post on the 63 & 64 is straight , going up to meet the roof'. I would try and save the original car, as it is an SS V-8 , 327 CI , probably matching number car... Also the color, Ermine white, with red interior is a great combination. Good luck
Before you pull the 327,while you're working on other stuff, mix up a batch of 50% acetone and 50% atf pull the plugs and fill the cylinders and reinstall the plugs and let it sit, fab up a handle that you can bolt to the balancer in place of the crank pulley, once a week or so grab that handle and rock the engine back and forth to see if you get any movement,top off the cylinders periodically with the acetone/atf mix and if you start getting movement pull the plugs and try to get it to go all the way around. I pulled a 62 C20 out of the woods that had been sitting there for 25+ years and was able to get the 261 unstuck and got it running it smoked a little because the rings were still somewhat stuck but it actually ran pretty good, I bet if I had pulled the plugs and refilled the cylinders with the mix again and let it sit some more and try again they would have freed up, as it was a guy wanted the engine as was.Its a lot easier to do this before you pull the engine.Yes, 62 bubble, it is all original, all matching, I could save motor but it is currently locked up from sitting and I really want to put my 409 in it.
That is what I needed to know on the roofs, I knew they looked the same. When I got to searching for a windshield I found out there was a height difference.
Thanks,

I know!You know I was joking with you!!!!!
Yes, Steve, send me some pics. I will definitely try to straighten it first but keeping my options open. What is best way to ship these? I followed up on the one Ron Sales has mentioned above, its very clean looks like car was stored inside all life except everything below door rusted away from salt up north. I havent heard back from him but I 'm expecting shipping from Rhode Island to Alabama might kill that idea.Harley, I have the perfect donor for you! I have a '62 Impala parts body. Floors, bottoms of quarters, rockers etc. are pretty much all gone. I am slowly taking off anything usable. The roof is in pretty decent shape, I believe. I can get you pictures if you want.
