DESCRIPTION:
This 1960 Chevrolet Impala convertible has had much restoration work done, and was finished about a year ago. The car was completely disassembled, the body was removed from the frame, the frame was sandblasted and painted, and all new control arm bushings and ball joints were installed. The body was also sandblasted, and then sprayed with self etching primer. All rusty metal was cut out and much new metal was welded in, including floor pans, rear quarter sections, trunk area. The quality of the metal work is very good. The body was put back on the frame and it was sent out for finish body work and paint, and it came out very nice. The color is a very nice antique white, and it is a urethane base coat / clear coat, (the best). When the paint was finished it was delivered back to me for re-assembly, and I finished it about a year ago. It has a complete new original style interior, including seat covers, door panels, carpet, seat belts, etc. It has a new windshield and a new convertible top with a new red parade boot. The power top mechanism works excellent. It has a re-built 283 V8 motor with a Rochester 2 barrel carburetor and a rebuilt aluminum powerglide automatic transmission, both run flawlessly. After many years of working with Chevrolet 283 motors and Rochester 2 barrel carburetors, I have come up with a couple of small modifications that deliver excellent drivability and fuel economy. The car runs very quietly and smoothly, fantastic for cruising. I chose to install an aluminum powerglide transmission over the original cast iron version. The aluminum powerglides are much lighter, and much more serviceable in the event of future repairs. The rebuilt rear end has the 3:08 gear ratio (best for highway) and new center carrier bearing. It has the original style power steering, and works perfect. Every component of the brakes are new, from the dual line master cylinder to the wheel cylinders, and DOT 5 (silicone) brake fluid was used to prevent corrosion over long periods of time. All new single exhaust. Front end alignment was done. Basically, everything on this car works, down to the radio, windshield washers and glove box light. The clock was replaced with a voltage meter, (nice to have on these older cars), but the original clock will be included with the car. Presently there is an alternator in the car, but if the new owner chooses I will convert it back to stock and install a nicely restored generator. If the new owner prefers the alternator, the generator will be included with the car in case you want to convert it back to stock at a later date. The car is not perfect, it has some trim pieces that could be a little better, and there are a couple of small blemishes in the paint, but this car is very, very nice and needs nothing that would prevent you from enjoying it right now. I encourage anyone who is interested in the car to come and see it, the car speaks for itself. I can answer any questions you may have, by email or telephone (413)- (before 8:00 PM eastern time please), ask for Dave.
