1962 Chevy Impala
This very very original car was brought to us by Larry, whom has owned it with his father in their family business since new. It has been sitting for the last 20+ years in the same spot until we took her in. We are starting with a complete mechanical restoration, including rebuilding the powertrain, suspension/steering, brakes, fuel system and power steering. We will also prep and detail the engine bay as the new motor goes back in. We are keeping the original 327 and powerglide, as well as much of everything else that we can preserve. Stage two will include the rust repair/metal work, then finally to body and paint, then interior.

62 Impala - untouched for 2+ decades
