Ol' Skool headers

[awsumcars]

I'm starting to put an old '62 Impala together that was raced and put to pasture early in it's life. It had headers that exited into the wheel wells, obviously from the cut out areas. First I would like to know what type of headers they may have been, and secondly, I'd like to find a pair to keep the car as it was, and of course use the cut-out inner fenders.

I do have a pair of ol' Hooker's that I can use, but would like to trade, barter or purchase the fender exits if possible. Will be at Tri-State and Rock Falls races coming up, to eliminate shipping.

See ya's at the races coming up....

Do you have any photos of the car…historic or current? Know it’s history? We enjoy old race cars

Glad you're coming to Tri-State Joel. I added you to the racer list a while back.

Not "old skool", but Stahl/ACP will do/offers fender well headers. At least they have told me that since the 1st of this year.

The only thing I know about the car is that it spent it's life in Georgia. The individual I purchased it from didn't know anything about the car. It's kinda like the engine and tranny got pulled and just sat. The driveshaft and bell crank are still there. Is there anyway to find out if it was a 380 or 409 hp car?

Nice project

There were a couple well known 2X4 holds of productions for that model year. A friend of mine ordered a 62 during that last hold and could not get the car scheduled as it finally arrived as a 63. He wasn’t too happy!

It just hit me, If you ordered a new car 62 years ago, it would have been a 62 model!
