AutoHunter Spotlight: 1962 Chevrolet Impala SS Sport Coupe

It’s been a long time since Chevrolet made an Impala SS (especially one with rear-wheel drive), but that model name still gets people excited. Right now on AutoHunter, you can get this 1962 Chevrolet Impala SS Sport Coupe, which is powered by a 409ci V-8 mated to a four-speed manual transmission. Finished in Ermine White over a black vinyl interior, this restored classic is now offered by the selling dealer in Oregon with an owner’s manual and a clear title.

As part of the restoration process, the body was refinished in its original color, Ermine White. Exterior features include chrome bumpers, bright trim, dual mirrors, rear passenger-side antenna, and dual exhaust outlets.

This Impala leaps away from stoplights on a set of 14-inch wheels with 205/75 Hankook whitewall radial tires. Behind the wheel covers, the braking system now runs four-wheel power discs.

Inside, there are bucket front seats (as there should be in an Impala SS) and a rear bench seat covered in black vinyl. Features include new power steering, metallic dashboard trim, clock, center console with Hurst shifter, and factory AM push-button radio.

Instrumentation consists of a 120-mph speedometer, column-mounted 7,000-rpm tachometer, and gauges for the temperature and fuel level. The odometer shows 9,771 miles, but this car is mileage-exempt, according to its title.

A period-correct 409ci V-8 with the “QB” suffix and dual quads provides 409 factory-rated horsepower to help this Impala outrun its four-wheeled predators. A four-speed manual gearbox equipped with a new clutch sends the big-block’s output to the factory Positraction rear end.

If you get revved up every time you hear the words “Impala SS,” bid on the 1962 Sport Coupe you see here before the auction ends on Friday, June 26, 2026, at 11:45 a.m. (PDT). If you come out on top, you can feel that excitement whenever you go for a drive.
