First of all, this is an incredible car for many reasons.

There were no Bel-air or Biscayne convertibles available in '62 so convertible buyers had to step up to the top-line Impala (which you have).

The convertible (5P) body style was rare in 1962.

Roman Red which was probably the best color available.

There's nothing wrong with an originally equipped 235 six cylinder. This car is pure gold the way it sits.

Most original cars like this have been molested with dubious V8 replacements that discredit the provenance....especially on a top-line Impala convertible

This car has obviously gone to a good GM family home because other people may not be able to resist the urge to modify that engine compartment.

Its worth more as a genuine authentic original 235 six than any other molested 283, 327, or 409 with no originality - any day of the week!

Enjoy that car. Its beauty man.
