Hello all. I am a retired hydraulic systems specialist. I designed drives for manufacturing facilities and mobile equipment. I have owned three 62 Impalas, my current ride is attached. I believe the car was originally driven by a 283 as it had a cast iron glide with an over-the -counter 327. I have since installed a 300HP clone with an aluminum glide. It has factory AC, a 63 intake and a 64 AFB carb. My first car was the same color but the top was body color. Love these cars. Great website.
