Hi Todd,
I don't know if this will help you or not, but here's some info regarding 62 & 63 Impala SS's that might point you in the right direction...
The only way to tell a real 62 (or 63) SS is to look at the trim code on the cowl tag; All SS cars came with bucket seats, and the bucket seat trim codes were different than the bench seat codes. You could not order bucket seats for a "plain" Impala. 62 bucket codes are: 815 821 827 831 843 845 856 867 875 879 890 and 891. If it's anything else it's not an SS. (63 codes are slightly different).
I don't remember where I got this info from, but a while back I was thinking about buying a 62 SS; I ended up not buying it.

I've got a question not related to Chevelles but to Impalas. There is an estate sale where I live and one of the items up for bid from the deceased is a very well restored 64 Impala SS. How do I tell if it is a clone or real SS Impala? Also, what ball park figure do you think that it is worth. I plan to bid on it. What are the more rare options to look for? I see this car on e-bay for 7 to 10 thousand. Any hunch, guess, or good estimate will do. Thanks!
