Description:

1962 Chevrolet Impala

I am thinning down my collection of nice original cars and am offering for sale my really stunning 1962 Chevrolet Bel-Air 4 door sedan (same as Impala from that year, but not quite as much trim). Car is currently in South Carolina, and came from North Carolina. It was in original family for many years, I am third family to have owned it. Car is a really nice "Survivor" with 58,000 original miles!
This Bel-Air is gorgeous un-restored with original matching 235 cubic inch "Blue Flame Six", Powerglide automatic transmission, and power steering. Car still has original body panels, floors, etc., and is nice and clean, in and out. It is not rusted or dented. Underneath is also nice and clean original. Chrome and exterior brightwork and trim is all extremely nice and bright! Car has had one repaint in original Twilight Turquoise color 18 years ago. Finish is still excellent and bright ! Original matching turquoise interior looks great! Seats, carpets, door panels, headliner, etc. are immaculate and bright as you would expect on a well cared for low mileage car!
Car runs, drives, and sounds great! Engine has been tuned; shocks, exhaust, brakes, battery, belts, and hoses have also all been recently replaced. Everything works! Speaker for the original AM radio is a bit weak. I have been driving it a lot on nice days and would not be afraid to drive anywhere! If someone GAVE you a "project car" for free, you could not turn it into this quality for the price you can buy this "turn key" car for. Remember, they are only original once!
It is really hard to find one of these early 1960's Chevrolets in nice, stock "Survivor" condition that has not been chopped up or heavily modified. The only 2 deviations from all stock that I have noticed are as follows:
1. Car was originally equipped with 1BBL carburetor and single exhaust. This has been replaced with a Clifford Performance "6 = 8 Performance Kit". This kit consists of a performance intake manifold, 2bbl carburetor, and matching headers. This kit was installed along with a really nice stainless dual exhaust system. Car runs and sounds great with this addition. It makes the drive train come alive and perform more like a 283 V8. This was a very professional installation and all parts were designed for this application. If you didn't know different, you would think car came this way when new! Really fun to drive! For more information, go to the Clifford Performance website.
2. Original carpet was replaced with correct reproduction "Tuxedo" (otherwise known as "Salt & Pepper") carpeting.
Car is located about 15 minutes from the junction of I-20 and I-95 in Florence, SC, so would be very easy for your transporter to pick car up if you are not coming in person. I have collected and fooled with vintage cars for over 40 years. I favor nice, original, stock cars from late 1950's to 1970's. It is now time to reluctantly thin down some of my collection. Please feel free to call me at 704-661-1326 for further information.
IMPORTANT: PHONE CALLS ONLY, NO TEXTS!!!! I don't know how to text, and my phone will not accept them. Again, call 704-661-1326 . NO TEXTS!!!
ABOUT ME: I have collected and fooled with old cars for over 40 years. I favor original un-restored Survivor cars that have been well maintained. I will sometimes sell one out of my collection to make room for new acquisitions. You just can't beat nice original cars! Call me with any questions at:

I am in and out a lot, so call and leave word if no answer. Thanks!

NOW FOR THE RULES:
1. A $500.00 NON REFUNDABLE partial payment is due immediately on purchase with Buy it Now. This is to be made by Pay Pal. Balance is to be paid within 7 days. Bank to bank wire transfer is preferred. Pay Pal is NOT acceptable for payment of balance.
2. Your bid is a contract! If you buy, you are expected to pay! Please make sure your money is in place, all questions are answered, and all decision makers consulted BEFORE you bid! Full payment is due within 7 days of purchase.
3. Car and ownership paperwork will not leave here until car is paid in full with cleared funds at my bank or cash. Please remember that due to increased fraud with official checks and money orders, banks now hold the deposit up for as many as 10 business days. Best way to pay is by bank to bank wire transfer, it protects both buyer and seller. This is what I prefer.
4. Car is sold strictly AS/IS, NO WARRANTY at my premises. Transportation/shipping is buyer's responsibility. I will help you any reasonable way I can, but it is still your responsibility.
5. Car can remain here for a reasonable amount of time while you are arranging transportation or pickup, but still must be paid in full within the 7 days. Also, once you buy, you need to insure the car, as I cannot be responsible for acts of God or damage beyond my control.
6. International buyers are welcome, but must pay with wire transfer, and again, must be paid with cleared funds before car and ownership paperwork will be released to your shipper.
7. Please remember, this is NOT a new car. It is a well maintained used car that is 58 years old. As such, there are some flaws that are consistent with this (minor nicks, dings, imperfections, etc.). It is a very clean original car, but is by no means a 100 point show car. Please realize this when you bid.
8. Please feel free to call me at 704-661-1326. Again, make sure you get satisfactory answers to all questions BEFORE you commit to buy!
9. Title is in my name with no liens.
I am sorry for all the rules, but it seems 5% of difficult people spoil things for the 95% who are good. Thanks for looking, good luck, and again, feel free to call me at 704-661-1326. Again, call and leave word. NO TEXTS, CALLS ONLY!
