New member of the family
 

I sold my ‘69 K5 Blazer recently and decided to call a guy about a car I have been interested in for a few years. When I had my ‘65 GTO, I parked next to this car a few times as we were in the same class. Spoke with the owner and put his number in my phone. Called him and made a deal. 1962 Impala SS with a 409 4 speed. It was a frame off several years ago, and still looks fresh. Spoke to the engine builder prior to purchase. Built as a 425 hp (engine is a 1963 QB block) and he told me it was a no money spared build up. Sounds awesome and drives nice. Waiting for my DMV appointment to put it on the road. I’m truckless for now, but I am sure I’ll do another one in the future.

If you gotta be truckless that is sure one way to do it.

Nice!

That is one of the nicest cars you could have. Just missing AC but I bet you could just roll down the windows and punch it!

Thanks all for the nice comments. It's funny how we gain an affinity for a particular car or engine. When I was a kid, my Dad had a '59 impala with a 348. Black with a red interior. I thought that car and engine were the best things out there. In High School, a local younger guy ( a few years older than me - out of HS and working) had a red '62 SS with a 409 4 speed. I just loved the sound and sight of that car as he pulled out and ran through the gears past my house on a daily basis. I'd stop what I was doing and watch him until the car disappeared. So, I have had it in the back of my mind for a long time that I needed a W block car. It has taken a long time and a circuitous route to end up with one. Can't wait to drive it.
