Motors is pleased to offer for sale this sporty 1960 Chevrolet
Parkwood Resto-Mod Station Wagon. The red finish is striking on
this wagon and has been prepped and polished to a deep luster.
These cars came well adorned in stainless body trim when new and it
is all present and well restored and really sets off the space-age
design and integrated wing design. The front and rear bumper
chromes have been restored and shine brightly. Inside the interior
is lightly restored and has a very nice blend of original design
with modern upgrades. The door and kick panels are original and do
have some warping and distortion in the cardboard backing. The
seats have been recovered with cloth upholstery and new carpet and
headliner have been installed. The dash is original with upgraded
full digital instrumentation from Dakota Digital Instruments. The
gear selector has been upgraded to represent the overdrive
transmission. The factory AM radio is still present and an
AutoMeter boost gauge has been installed in the ashtray. Under the
hood sits a Magnuson 112 Supercharged GM LS2 6.0L V8 producing
435hp and 415 ft-lbs. of torque. The engine compartment is
well-detailed, and a set of plastic coil covers that look like
era-correct W motor valve covers. Exhaust flows throw a set of tube
headers into dual exhaust flowing into stainless performance
mufflers with the tailpipes dumping NASCAR style in front of the
rear tires. The undercarriage has been upgraded with tubular A-Arms
with dropped spindles up front and out back a Ford 9 differential
is supported by a custom four-link rear suspension. The
differential is stuffed with 3.70:1 gears which nicely complement
the 4L65-E overdrive automatic transmission for great low-end pull
but the ease of cruising on the highway with low RPMs. The brakes
have been upgraded to four-wheel power assisted disc brakes with
drilled and slotted rotors. The fuel and brake lines are all new as
well. The floorboards and frame are free of rust and any
indications of any collision repair. This hopped-up wagon rolls on
Ridler Chrome alloy wheels, 18 wheels up front are wrapped in
245/40R18 radial tires with 20 wheels in the rear with 275/40R20
radial tires and giving it a menacing stance. This Parkwood Station
Wagon looks fast just sitting still, but this wagon has the GO to
complete the Show in this case. The stunning color will draw
attention wherever this car goes be it a local cars and coffee
event or cruising the boulevard. Please call if interested or
e-mail with specific questions. Thank you for looking.
