1962 Chevrolet Impala SS

By Classic Car Restoration Club Editors

I bought this great car about 4 years ago from a gentleman in Tennessee. He had previously purchased the car from Reggie Jackson at the Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale auction several years earlier. When I saw it, I knew I had to make it mine and return this car back home to California.

The old Chevy features a 409 cu.in. engine, built by Jack Gibbs, and is bored 60 over and fully balance and blueprinted. It includes a Isky Z11 cam, Dual AFB Quads, Scorpion roller rockers, Doug’s Headers, and puts out 467hp to the flywheel.

The engine is backed up by a Borg Warner Super T-10 4-speed and 4.11 posi rear.

    I've always dreamed of owning one of those cars, ever since I heard the song by the Beach Boys "409", which is a tribute to that specific model. Also, my father was a general contractor with 6 Chevy tandem trucks from 1964-65 and they all had 409. I always thought that if it was powerful enough to haul gravel (and logs in the winter months on a 43 ft trailer) it's got to haul ass in a car.
