The Story of the 1962 Impala SS Convertible I SAVED from a Public Junkyard! (Junkyard Finds) 

Ryan how dare you ask us if we won’t a follow up video. 😂We are here for follow up videos on impalas. “We’re making impalas great again”

Love to see the 62 after it’s finished. A build video on it would have been awesome. 👍😀👉🇺🇸

Nice save on a rare Chevy it would be awesome to see the restoration too.

"The '62 is a little different animal than the '59"! No doubt! Love seeing these old Impalas resurrected. Seems like everyone used to have one back in the day, alot of those people wish they still had them! At least that's what they tell me when they see my '65. Keep up the great work!

Great video and thanks for help to keep these classics on the road. So they may be enjoyed for future generations!!!!

Actually in 1960 bucket seats came in the Chevrolet Corvair Monza coupe. So The 1960 Corvair Monza coupe was the first Chevrolet to get bucket seats! In 1961 Chevrolet started offering the sedan in top tier Monza trim as well (the Monza sedans for 61/62 offered cloth benches or buckets! Both my 61 and 62 Monza sedans have factory bucket seats! I'm glad you saved that '62 SS vert from the junkyard! Glad to hear 2 Impalas got saved!

Excellent work Ryan another one saved ,your crusade is a hard one but working steady steady ,great to see mate 👍🇦🇺

Love those 59 stove bolts!

Of course! The whole point is to see these come back to their former glory

Thank you, Ryan. We would like to see the restoration of the 1962 SS Impala.

Like also the 65 pontiac sitting behind it as well .

62 impala parts are the hardest to get now you could find all the other years in swapmeets but not much left of 62 impala even rust buckets are worth gold now those 62 are loved by anyone kool

Definitely want to see a follow up video in the future.

I think that you got the best end of the deal!

Impalas worth keeping!

That 65 Pontiac beside it caught my eye . That's what I'm restoring

Would b fun to see the progress of both the 62 and 59

love to see more on the 62 ss

Would love to see that 62 finished

Love to see an update on this car.

Hey Ryan, another great SAVE. In my part of the country these finds simply don't exist. It will take hundreds of hours and a boat load of cash to properly restore this '62 but kudos to the new owner who is tackling this. It looks to have most important parts in tact sans the interior. Most all of the sheetmetal is available. The convertible rockers are unique and have very heavy gauge steel. I rebuilt a set on my '67 Camaro Conv and it was a major undertaking. If that '59 Impala was your trade in the deal then I think you did very well. Thanks for saving, much respect.

Very cool!..I'm still dreaming for the day I find a '61 SS bubbletop!

Man that yard look liked it had quite a few goodies in it ,& that 59 You traded for looks way better ! the 1st Chevrolet to have bucket seats standard was 1960 mid year Corvair Monza coupe & latter 1961 Monza 4 door With a optional 4 speed, of course the Monza was a optional model & of course the Corvette was 1st being a sports car . Thanks for the video.

SWEET RIDE

I know this car, my First Car was a 62 white Convertible, that I drove in H.S. stupid me, traded for a 65 Corvair when I went into the Navy..... what a Car !

A lot of work there

Cool story man... sick cars !

Sure Ryan, want the follow up!

Just think a 62 impala ss convertible in a junk yard. Wow definitely would love a follow up video..

You guys do work make them look good

Would be good to have a video of the build start to finish good job on saving

Ryan, I wish I could have kept all the cars I swapped, traded, parted back in the Mid to late 70's. I may have pictures somewhere. It included a 62 Impala wagon, 64 Impala SS Htp. and a 64 Chevelle convertible. Living in town, it just wasn't possible.

I wanna see the 62 I’m building one also good find

hi l really enjoy your program l have a 58 chevy amlpala tow door hard top has it since 1983 to

I would love to see a follow up on that 62. Back in the early 80's, a friend bought a 61 Impala SS convertible, 348 4 speed car..... thats one ultra rare car.... I think less than 500 were made. We didn't know that in the early 80's though.... it was considered just an old broken down car back then, that no one wanted. I think he paid five hundred dollars for it. I thought at the time, he got ripped off, as it was not in that great of condition. I got that car running and driving for him.... it had a bad clutch, thats why it was parked. The old man he bought it from, bought it new. When he stopped driving it, it just sat in his yard, sinking into the ground. My friend sold that car in the mid 90's for close to $100,000.....(he paid off his house with that sale). and it needed a total restoration. It did run and drive.... good at that. The buyer was a big shot car collector, and had it restored to it's original glory. I'll have to hunt around to see if I can find photos of it. It was red on red, with a white top.

Yes definitely do a follow up.

I’d love to see the car done or in the process

Do a series on the 59 😬 love to see that car finished

Cool follow up!!! NIce!!

Nice story 62 rag SS for a 59 HT is a solid trade

Tough decision, the vert is worth way more done, but cost more than the 59' hardtop to get done...

Yes; I think a lot of people would like to see the progress on that 62 impala. What do you think a 62 anniversary model in just about as of shape be. Just wondering.😳

U got the better deal

Sweet impalas!

Trained eye...lol That rig is hashed.

cool

Nice save!

Dang awesome

I think you got the better deal...

What engine was in the ‘62 SS? 283? Doesn’t matter if the top was up or down if it’s been sitting that long. It was gonna disintegrate eventually anyway. Is all the glass missing on the ‘59? Best of luck to you and your friend! I hope you guys bring both cars back. 👍

Hey Ryan, check out our new series "forgotten vehicles finding new life"!

can you make a youtube movie with what for cars youdid buy last years and where you store them

Can you still buy glass and sheet metal ??.

Please post video of completed convertible

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Updates sir 👍🏽 Sell me a hard top 59🙏🏽

I have an autronic eye I pulled out of a '62 years ago

👍👍👍👍

Saved it for how much

What happened to the car you got in trade for the 62?

What it’s worth?

Saved??

Do you sale the cars?? Please let me know

I gave a thumbs up, but didn't want to because you never told us what you paid for the car! Why not? It's not like it should be some secret, as we all know what they sell for in good running condition. So, are you going to tell us? If not, why?

What part of Iowa?

MY FIRST CAR WAS A 62 IMPALA WENT FRM 283. AUTO TO 327 4 SPEED MISS THAT CAR
