1962 Lightwaight

[Verne_Frantz]

Yes, there is not a lot known about the lightweight Impalas. Lots of rumors and even some inaccurate information from very respected individuals. I am aware of 4 real factory built cars, and a few more that received the aluminum over the counter. There is NO proof that any aluminum left the factory on a Belair though. There is no proof that any '62 left the factory with Z-11 top end parts. Those parts didn't receive Chevy casting numbers until they were used on the 50 '63 Z-11s. Prior to that they were all "zero-dash" parts and funnelled to certain racers. The light weight '62 Impalas were specifically built to compete in B/FX and were delivered with stock 409hp 409s. That's the way the Zintsmaster car was delivered until the current owner added the Z-11 top pieces.
I'm familiar with the car in question and that's the way the owner decided to build it. &quot;Unrestored&quot;................. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/haha.gif[/img]
