The 1962 Chevrolet Impala is like the James Bond of cars—sleek, powerful, and a bit of a heartthrob. These models, crafted between 1962 and 1964, are the automotive equivalent of a rock ‘n’ roll band in their prime. With engines like the Turbo Thrift 230 and the mighty Turbo Thrust 409, these beauties pack a punch. But don’t expect a cushy ride; the two-speed automatic is your only option unless you’re a fan of manual labor with the 3 or 4-speed standard transmission. Buckle up and enjoy the ride!
Among the most desirable Chevy Impalas ever created are the models produced between 1962 and 1964. The engines this year include the Turbo Thrift 230 cu in (3.8 L) six, the Turbo Fire 283 cu in (4.6 L), a Turbo Fire 327 cu in (5.4 L) at at the top of the list is the newly introduced Turbo Thrust 409 cu in (6.7 L). The large engines could be coupled to a 3 or a 4 speed standard transmission only.The two speed automatic is the only one available, the 3 speed Turbo-Glide version will not be on the table again until 1965, after some issues have been resolved.

I’m a fan of Impalas also! What’s wrong with the 65-67’s
