I remember seeing this car in Hemmings Motor News listed for sale out of Texas, maybe 6-7 years ago if I am remembering correctly. I think the asking price at that time was around $89,995 and I had just picked up a 409/409 Bel Air and then called about this one and was told it had sold. Not sure who bought it and haven't heard/seen it until now. Beautiful car, but like the others say, most things this perfect have a catch...

----Its my contention that the "Zintsmaster 62" is the best, most original 62 lightweight Chev on the planet. I have been up close and personal with that car and unless something has happened since I saw it the car is original paint. Plus its an Impala which is what the 62 L/Ws were supposed to be. While the car asked about is pretty, black lacquer did not last back then. I dont care if it was in a hyperbaric chamber, it didnt last. Chris Ps 62 409/409 is by far the best black original paint 62 out there and as good as it looks it doesnt look as good as this 62.......Bill S

Thank you Bill!Pictures of mine are somewhere here floating in the members rides, and yes, all original.Be fun to compare the originality. I'll reserve judgement 'til I see this one next week at the auction.

Bill, I agree with you on all counts. There's one thing I've noticed about the 50 year old black though. It's "blacker" than anything you can buy today. I've had my original paint '62 next to freshly restored black '62s and '63s and their paint has a brown tint to it compared to my old stuff.

Chris, you garage is SICK! I seriously would love to live in there. Can I stay there and earn my keep by sweeping up and wiping the cars down? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/worship.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/drool.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/eek.gif[/img]

Seriously, I did notice one thing though. You have a Texas flag hung up which is cool and all, but where's the Chicago flag? I have one hanging on my garage wall, you need one on yours! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/flag.gif[/img]

----Yup, Verne,,,I think you are right. Paint makers probably just found a cheaper pigment and figured we wouldnt notice.

----Frank,,,You could live there. I have!!! There is a really big, great apartment off the end of the building with all the amenities, if you know what I mean (can you say BIG screen)! Its right thru the double doors in the rear end shot of the 62....Bill S
