One of the rarer vehicles on the north Georgia property - and really, it's legitimately rare - is a 1962 Chevrolet Impala SS Golden Anniversary edition. Like so many other General Motors special edition models, it was purely cosmetic in nature, but with less than 330 examples made, it seems likely there are fewer than 150 still on the road.
Contributing to the obscurity is the fact that the Golden Anniversary Impala wasn't marketed as a standard production model. Dealers were allowed to order them as part of their standard allocation, but customers didn't know about it as Chevy didn't list it in the brochures as an option. Since it was literally just a paint job, it also seems likely that actual Golden Anniversary cars were repainted some non-factory color as they became just another used car, especially since the Golden Anniversary option wasn't limited to high-spec models like an SS. In other words, a dealer could order a base-model Impala sedan with the Golden Anniversary paint - a car that would almost certainly become disposable after a few years on the road.
This car is perhaps the most desirable spec: an SS two-door, and believed to have originally had a 327 under the hood. The car suffered a rear-end impact back in the day, which is what sent it to a salvage yard. The VIN and tag on the firewall confirm this is a Golden Anniversary car, as does the unique interior trim and paint. This is a car that absolutely should be restored given its rarity and equipment, and there's a second Impala SS on the property with tree damage to the roof that could easily offer up the necessary body panels to repair the ancient accident damage on the Golden Anniversary car.
