Chevrolet Impala 409 (4- Door) 1962 ATCC Appendix J
All Norm Beechey's ATCC Cars he raced
The 1962 model featured new "C" pillar styling for all models except the 4-door hardtop. Sport Coupe models now featured the "convertible roof" styling, shared with other GM "B" full-size hardtop coupe, which proved popular. The "overhang" roof style of the sedans was replaced with a wider "C" pillar with wraparound rear window.
Engine choices for 1962 began as previously with 1962 being the final year for the 235 I6.[22] along with the small-block 283 fitted with a two barrel carburetor. The 283 was also enlarged to 327-cubic-inch (5.4 L), offered in two versions, one with 250 bhp (186 kW) and one with 300 bhp (224 kW). The 348-cubic-inch (5.7 L) V8 was discontinued and replaced by the 380 bhp (283 kW) 409-cubic-inch (6.7 L) or 409 bhp (305 kW) 409-cubic-inch (6.7 L) engine,[citation needed] available only with a manual transmission. Due to reliability problems, the optional Turboglide automatic transmission was discontinued,[23] leaving Powerglide the only automatic transmission available until 1965. A new radio was optional.[19]
The Beach Boys produced a hit single, "409", referring to the Chevrolet, which became an iconic song for these cars.
Impalas again featured premium interior appointments, plusher seats could be done by the dealerships on customer request. And more chrome trim outside, including a full-width aluminum-and-chrome panel to house the triple-unit taillight assembly. Super Sport (SS) models featured that panel in a special engine-turned aluminum, which was also used to fill the side moldings, making the SS more distinctive in appearance. The Impala also gained the top trim station wagon body design, in place of the Chevrolet Nomad model. However, unlike the passenger cars, Impala wagons had dual-unit taillights.

Im uploading the Relesse of the road version tonight. It has more skins. Yesh the race version was only one car that hsd several numbers. I wont release fictional skins but I know there is a guy that does release world real skins on his site.
I love the car. I know the skins are based on real life but it's a shame there's not more variety.
I changed the colours of the cars so they're not all the same. It's not realistic but I like it better that way.
