Vehicle Description
When it comes to comfort, power, and presence, there isn't a whole
lot of classics that can beat Chevrolet's legendary Impala. With
their long, low, and wide bodylines, it isn't a surprise why the
Impala was such a hit in its day. This 1960 Chevrolet Impala is the
epitome of early '60s style, with its beautiful two-tone paintjob
and stunning horizontal tailfins. And, with only 80,140 original
miles on the odometer, this is one low-milage Impala with plenty of
life left in it! Popping open the hood reveals a strong 348 C.I.
V8, breathing well through a 4-barrel carburetor. Torque is put to
the pavement through a correct, smooth-shifting 2-speed automatic
transmission, which allows this Impala to run down the road with
ease. The exterior's laser-straight bodylines are covered in the
original two-tone red and white paint this Impala came with from
the factory, being buffed out to a brilliant shine that gleams in
the sun. The chrome brightwork is in excellent shape, and being a
car from 1960, there's acres of it! The floors, frame, trunk and
jambs are all original and they're all rock-solid! Opening the twin
doors welcomes you into a gorgeous two-tone black and white trimmed
interior, which is in highly original condition. It's got patterned
trim on the doors and the comfy bench seats are also dressed in the
same patterned two-tone black and white, while the dashboard's
factory gauges and accessories are dressed up in stylized chrome.
Rest assured, stepping into this interior is like stepping back
into 1960! Options on this time capsule of an impala include power
brakes, factory gauges, an original dealer-installed compass, a
working factory AM pushbutton radio, dual antennas, dual chrome
mirrors, an original Chevy under-dash trash container, and a
sweet-sounding dual exhaust system. The car rides on a set of
striking 15" chrome Cragar SS wheels over B.F. Goodrich RWL tires
for a muscular look that suits this Impala well! A single turn of
the key starts that 348 V8 right up, ensuring that this Chevy is
ready to cruise at a moment's notice. This is your chance to own a
true American icon, a beautiful time-capsule of a car that'll take
you back to 1960 whenever you're behind the wheel. You're not going
to see another quite like it, so don't let it pass you by!
