"INTRODUCTION: No expense was spared creating this high end custom, and the result is a car that delivers show stopping looks, premium craftsmanship, and modern performance all in one stunning package! The striking red paint, massive wheels, and incredible stance are impossible to ignore, while the custom leather interior takes it to an entirely different level. It isn't just beautiful, it functions as well as it looks too. Powered by a 525 horsepower LS3, equipped with modern suspension, brakes, and drivability upgrades, it's a car you can confidently enjoy on the road. Despite having only 2,700 miles since completion, it presents as if it were finished yesterday. Once you inspect the car in person you will appreciate the value in this Impala.
EXTERIOR: Absolutely phenomenal fit and finishes! The body on this Impala is absolutely laser straight, providing the perfect canvas for its custom mixed red paint. The finish has outstanding depth and gloss, highlighting the beautiful lines that made the 1962 Impala an icon. Starting with rust free original sheet metal allowed the builders to create a remarkably clean and crisp presentation from every angle. Even the jambs up by the door hinges is high gloss paint. Every piece of chrome and trim is either brand new or professionally straightened and polished to a brilliant finish. It has machine turned SS trim down the sides and on the tail panel along with smoothed bumpers. All of the glass has been replaced and the windows are aligned spot on. All of the weatherstrips were replaced. It sits perfectly on a set of polished Intro wheels measuring 20 inches up front and 22 inches in the rear, wrapped in Toyo performance tires that are extra wide in back. The headlights and tail lights were upgraded with LEDs.
INTERIOR: It is truly a custom masterpiece! Virtually every visible surface has been upholstered in premium imported Scandinavian leather, creating an environment that rivals many modern luxury automobiles. The craftsmanship and attention to detail are evident from every angle. It features four matching bucket seats that have been custom bolstered and upholstered using a pattern inspired by the original 1962 SS design. A full length center console flows seamlessly from front to rear, tying the cabin together beautifully. The custom door panels and rear speaker shelf were designed to match perfectly, while a one piece leather headliner overhead completes the sophisticated look. One of the most impressive aspects of this interior is the consistency of the design. Every component is precisely color matched, creating a uniform appearance without the mismatched shades. Modern conveniences have been thoughtfully integrated without compromising the classic character of the car. Dakota Digital gauges provide accurate instrumentation, while a high end sound system delivers exceptional audio through a stock appearing stereo unit. The power windows, including the vent windows, are operated by discreetly hidden switches in the console. Additional features include LED interior lighting, a tilt steering column, floor shifter, premium carpet with matching floor mats, and seatbelts throughout. The overall design, execution, and fit-and-finish are nothing short of exceptional.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: At the heart of this build is a new GM LS3 6.2-liter all aluminum crate engine producing an impressive 525 horsepower! Combining modern fuel-injected reliability with serious performance, it delivers effortless power whether cruising down the highway or laying into the throttle. The engine is beautifully dressed with Billet Specialties simulated valve covers and a polished front runner system featuring a serpentine belt setup, polished brackets, alternator, and air conditioning compressor. A hydroboost system provides both power steering and power brakes, complemented by a polished power steering reservoir for a clean, upscale appearance. Stainless braided hoses are used throughout the engine compartment, adding both durability and a high end custom appearance. Keeping everything cool is a polished AFCO aluminum radiator equipped with an electric fan and matching overflow bottle. A premium Aeromotive fuel delivery system ensures a steady supply of fuel to the LS3. Even the battery is an authentic reproduction Delco battery for a factory inspired touch. The firewall, inner fenders, and core support have been smoothed, filled, and painted to the same slick, glossy red as the exterior. Even the hood received a set of billet hinges that provide smooth function. The installation is exceptionally clean and detailed, showcasing the quality and attention to detail that went into every aspect of this build.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: The trunk is a showpiece all by itself and reflects the same level of craftsmanship found throughout the rest of the car. It has been completely custom upholstered and finished to match the interior. Under the trunk lid, and even the hinges have been upholstered. Inside is boxed and wrapped featuring patterns that complement the interior design. Hidden behind the custom panels is the stereo equipment along with a gel battery equipped with a disconnect switch, keeping everything neatly concealed. The floor has been cleverly designed to lift open, revealing a finished storage compartment underneath. Currently stored inside is a new car cover that will be included with the vehicle.
UNDERSIDE: The chassis received just as much attention as the body and is exceptionally detailed throughout. The frame, underbody and floors are all smooth, rust free metal finished in semi-gloss black for a clean, show quality presentation. The steering system has been completely rebuilt, and the suspension has been thoroughly upgraded with a full Ridetech air ride system featuring ShockWave air springs and a RidePro EF5 controller, allowing the driver to adjust ride height and comfort at the touch of a button. Up front, it features Global West tubular A-arms, while the rear is equipped with tubular control arms and a tubular panhard bar. Custom sway bars front and rear help keep the car planted, and polished gas shocks out back. The brake system is equally impressive, featuring Baer 6P brakes with massive 14-inch vented rotors and 6-piston calipers at all four corners, along with a complete e-brake assembly. The fuel system was custom built around a polished stainless steel fuel tank with Aeromotive fuel lines and fittings throughout. Looking up at the drivetrain, the all aluminum LS3 engine is equipped with a high torque starter. Power is transferred through a new GM 4L70E overdrive automatic transmission to a Moser 9-inch rear end featuring a Detroit Locker and 3.89 posi gears. Completing the package is a hand fabricated polished stainless steel exhaust system that looks every bit as impressive underneath as it sounds on the road.

CONCLUSION: The price of this car is more than justified when you consider this is an easy 1/4 million dollar build.

The pride of ownership, the admiration it commands, and the excitement you feel every time you see it, drive it, or share it with others are rewards that continue long after the purchase is forgotten. This isn't just another classic car, it offers an experience, a presence, and a feeling that most cars simply can't provide. That's what makes owning a car like this so worthwhile.
