INTRODUCTION: Check out the stance on this beauty! It's sitting
pretty on a highly upgraded and complete Ride Tech suspension.
You're not going to want to just look at it though, with a
ginormous fuel injected crate 502 big block, performance built
trans and HD 3.70 posi rear end, you're gonna want to dive it a
bunch too. Less than 2500 miles accumulated since the frame off
restoration just 2 years ago. Go fast with class!
EXTERIOR: The vibrant Roman Red paint was applied with great detail
and polished to a slick and reflective finish. Looking down the
side of the long and straight body is satisfying with its smooth,
contours and sharp lines. The bumpers have been rechromed and the
remaining brightwork has a lustrous shine. The side glass was
replaced and is smoked, not tinted. Bow tie side view mirrors are a
much appreciated option. The front grill is in great shape and
proudly displays the classic Chevrolet cross flags. Upgraded Holley
Retro Brights LED headlights, LED taillights and reverse lights
will be much appreciated on those late night cruises. The stance is
absolutely perfect, sitting on a gorgeous set of 18" Jongbloed
wheels that are wrapped in a good set of performance tires.
INTERIOR: They restored it back to its original vintage charm
inside. Down on the floor it has real nice fitting carpet along
with some embroidered Impala mats. It feels like the seats have
been recushioned and they are reupholstered in the houndstooth
pattern along with matching reproduction door panels. The armrests,
handles and window cranks have all been replaced. Overhead is a
real nice white headliner, visors and LED interior lights. The dash
is painted a smooth gloss black. It has a mini tach in the dash and
a set of SunPro gauges down below along with the Holley Sniper fuel
injection digital readout. It has the 1960 style steering wheel but
it is made smaller to get in and out easier. There is a hidden
Bluetooth stereo in the glove box, the previous owner claims $6,000
was spent on the sound system alone. In the trunk it has amps, sub
woofer and speakers in the rear deck. Seat belts were added in the
front, which were still optional in 1960.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: It gets its heartbeat from a GM Performance
crate 502 engine generating 502 horsepower! Equipped with GM
aluminum heads and bow tie intake. It's being fed through a Holley
Sniper II fuel injection system and gets spark from a Sniper
Hyperspark system. It also has a nice set of coated headers.
Further enhancements include a RAB front runner system with billet
brackets, serpentine pulleys, and a one wire alternator. It also
features power steering and hydro boost power brakes from CPP. A
Griffin aluminum radiator with dual electric fans and a polished
overflow bottle keeps it running cool. It has an Optima battery,
new horns and hood insulation. The engine bay is neatly painted
gloss red.
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Under the trunk lid and the jamb are painted
real nice red. Inside has sound deadener underneath the insulated
carpet that's been custom cut with bound edges. It is completely
lined. Behind the rear panel is the upgraded stereo equipment.
UNDERSIDE: It is riding on a Ride Tech HQ suspension which includes
Strong Arm tubular control arms, Muscle Bar swaybar, plus coilover
adjustable gas shocks in the front and back. Upgraded Wilwood disc
brake system with drilled and slotted rotors at all four wheels and
the e-brake is hooked up. The extra fat exhaust with Flowmaster
mufflers nicely follows the x-frame and winds its way through the
rear suspension. The fuel system was replaced including the tank
and is compatible with the fuel injection. The 4L60 overdrive
automatic transmission has a performance build with a 4L79 drum.
The rebuilt driveshaft connects to a fresh looking Currie 9 inch
rear end. It was upgraded with Yukon Dura-Grip 31 spline axles and
posi 3.70 gears.
SERVICE: We take pride in our cars and reputation. Therefore, we
built a 2 million dollar, 10,000 square ft service center, and
hired a team of technicians to work it. This is so we can sell you
the best cars within reason.
CONCLUSION: She'll certainly get the juices flowing with over 500
horsepower available at the tip of your toes. Add in the iconic
body lines on top of the houndstooth interior plus a beautiful
frame off restoration, and you really got something special. What a
beauty and a beast!
For nearly 30 years, I, Jay Grams, have personally written the
highlights for almost every car in our collection. What I provide
is my professional opinion based on my experience with these
vehicles. However, opinions can vary, and I strongly recommend a
personal inspection to form your own view. Our sales team is always
available to answer any questions you may have. One great option is
to request a personalized walk-around video, where we can showcase
the car and share our team's insights. **Our cars are displayed
within a museum setting. If you are interested in a specific
vehicle, please schedule an appointment with a salesperson to view
it. Without an appointment, there is an admission fee to enter the
showroom. If you decide to purchase a car, your admission will be
refunded, and you'll receive a one-year museum membership.
