Classic cars are also in times of electrification of the automobile and the ever increasing debates on climate protection are a popular hobby. Perhaps they are currently more desirable than ever. Many believe that they have to get a vintage car quickly before it is impossible to legally move a vehicle with a combustion engine on the road. At the moment, it is not possible to estimate how long there will be combustion engines in road traffic, because increasingly stricter environmental laws will (unfortunately) sooner or later mean that classic gasoline and diesel engines will die out forever. Today we're introducing you to one 1962 Chevrolet Impala before, which with its large-volume V8 big block is a dream for all automobile lovers with gasoline in their blood, and especially at JEclassics in Denver, Colorado, USA.
Mods on chassis and body
This impala you see here originally left as Hard top version the factory halls. However, one of the previous owners liked the bubble top so much that he decided to transfer the design element of the Bel Air to the 62 Impala. Therefore, the vehicle had to go through a long conversion process, which also included the Painting in flame red received.
In addition, the entire Modified interiorso that the newly designed roof fits perfectly. Some tuners want a subtle conversion, and other custom car creators go all out. In this case, you went all-in, as it is called in poker, and changed pretty much everything on the vehicle. First, of course, the huge one falls Power Dome on the hood of the Holley carburetor and air filter houses. Furthermore there is 20 inch chrome rims the manufacture Billet Specialtiesthat give the classic a noble and dynamic look. Were further Suspension components installed by CCP on all four corners.
The Mods on the chassis should ensure that the vehicle can cope with the increased performance without any problems. There are also internally ventilated ones Disc brakes all around, which however are neither slit nor perforated. Equipped in this way, the active safety of the vehicle is significantly increased, and the performance of the big block, which we will go into later, can be exploited without any problems.
Interior has also been redone!
The modifications continue in the interior, where, among other things, the continuous three-seater bench at the front two individual seats was replaced. A Gear lever in the classic layout also replaces the standard steering wheel gearshift. A red one Vinyl fittings including red Deep pile overmats and carpets may be a color overkill, but they form a perfect symbiosis with the red one Exterior painting. Furthermore were still Digital instruments Installed by Dakota to bring a little modernity into the classic. A Audio system with Bluetooth connection is also located in the historic Impala from 1962.
A monster slumbers under the hood!
The 8,1 liter V8 naturally aspirated gasoline engine is a real colossus that generates a lot of power and torque. However, this big block is anything but standard as it has undergone various upgrades to further increase power and torque. Also the Starter was modernized with the help of an MSD kit, and the old three-stage automatic had to be one Four-speed manual transmission give way to Muncie. Thus, a switch is now responsible for the power transmission, which the power to the Rear wheels sends. Unfortunately, we don't have any information about the performance, but they shouldn't be bad, given a tuned big block under the hood.
