Coinciding with the debut of the Impala SS option, the 409 “Turbo Fire” V-8 engine was a bored and stroked version of the big-block 348, itself introduced for the 1958 model year. Initially rated at 360 horsepower with a single Carter AFB four-barrel, it had solid lifters, a new forged steel crankshaft, distinctive wedge-shaped combustion chambers in the block, 11.25:1 compression, and a more aggressive camshaft. The only transmission choice was, rather fittingly, a four-speed manual. By 1962, the 409 engine was updated with a pair of dual quad carburetors, and its factory-issued horsepower rating jumped to 409, the perfect cubic-inch per horsepower ratio.
Equipped with this formidable powerplant, the Tuxedo Black over red vinyl Impala SS Convertible offered here benefits from a complete and highly accurate concours restoration executed under previous ownership. It retains much of its proper, correct-for-1962 SS equipment, including power steering and brakes, dual rear antennas with a push-button AM radio, electric clock, SS bucket seats, and period-correct narrow whitewall tires with spinner wheel covers. At time of cataloguing, the car’s odometer indicates approximately 320 miles—presumably the distance driven since its well-executed restoration.
