Vehicle Description
1960 Chevrolet Impala
I truly don't know what to say here about this California
originating, one-owner car. The pictures cannot do it justice and
any description will pale in comparison to seeing it in person. It
is hands down one of the finest frame-off, rotisserie restorations
I have ever seen and that has been echoed nearly 100 times in the
few days it has been here in the showroom. When I say the car is
flawless, that isn't just some blanket statement people give to a
car...it truly is. The following is a detailed description but to
fully list everything would take more space than we have here.
It is powered by a 409 Stroker (taken to 484 cubic inches) that is
based on a 1964 truck block with 409 aluminum heads
(ported/polished), Erson cam shaft, dual Edelbrock carburetors
(650CFM), Edelbrock intake manifold (ported/polished), custom Jerry
Jardine headers that have been ceramic coated, March serpentine
belt system, March custom cross member for alternator support,
chrome alternator, chrome power steering and water pump and a 700HP
rated Be Cool radiator with twin 15 inch electric fans. All of this
contributing to the engine putting out in excess of 600 horsepower
that the Richmond 5-speed with Hurst shifter and heavy duty drive
line handle with ease. With the gearing at 3.50 in the Curry 9-inch
rear-end this car is a rocket ship! The engine bay has been prepped
and painted better than the bodies of most show cars you will ever
see. The custom dual exhaust has an electronic baffling system to
go from throaty tame to almost straight pipes at the flip of a
switch. Think of the fun you can have with your local constable
with that! The stopping power comes from a top-of-the-line Wilwood
power disc brake system. The exterior has been meticulously prepped
and painted in a custom blended red paint. There is not a single
blemish or wheel stroke on the finish and it is so deep and clear
you can see yourself in it. All of the stainless bright work was
individually removed, straightened to perfection and polished to
shine better than most chrome. Speaking of chrome, like the rest of
the car, it is absolutely perfect. The frame has been media blasted
and powder coated and has a ChassisWorks front-end with coil over
and tubular upper/ lower A arms. She sits on 17-inch chrome Budnik
wheels and new Toyo high performance tires.
Inside the interior is nothing short of stunning as well. The dash
has been painted the same color as the exterior and it contains a
full set of gauges plus a Retro stereo complete with Bluetooth and
10-disc changer tucked away in the hidden compartment in the trunk
next to the battery. All of the chrome inside is new with not a
single blemish including the horn on the tilt steering wheel. The
seats are a piece of art in their own right done in supple leather
with traditional looking hounds tooth cloth in the center. All of
the glass and trim on the car are also brand new. The trunk had no
expanse spared either and is done to the same quality as the rest
of the car down to aforementioned hidden compartment seamlessly
integrated in.
You may find an equal restoration out there in our community but
you will not find one that surpasses this in any way, shape or
form. It is a simply phenomenal automobile that would cost easily
over $175,000.00 to duplicate at our shop. There has not been even
a nut, bolt or screw on this Impala that did not receive the same
attention to detail as everything else. If you are one who looks
for perfection this is it.
We are offering this car for only $74,900.00!
