OKAY, ...MAYBE THIRD TIME WILL BE A CHARM??? Once again we are listing this 1960 Chevy hardtop, ....for a third time!! Another zero feedback bidder won the auction with buy it now, never came to see the car before or after the auction, and could not come up with the funds to complete the deal. GUYS... PLEASE!!! If you do not have the funds then PLEASE DO NOT BID!! I want to sell this car, not "show and tell" this car. Again, I ask you to bid with confidence and I will be more than happy to answer your questions should you have any. I only hope those of you who have followed this auction in the past have not lost faith. It is a good car for the money!! This vehicle was listed a second time (about a month ago) due to a zero feedback individual who signed up here on ebay for the first time and within an hour bought 16 cars.... So, now I will require an immediate NON REFUNDABLE deposit thru paypal of $300. if "Buy it now" is used. Finally, as of today, he is no longer a registered user and my final value fees from the previous auction have been refunded so I can relist it. I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Please bid with confidence! WELCOME! Up for auction we have a 1960 Chevrolet Impala 2-door hardtop in need of restoration. This car originally had a 283 cid motor with a 3-speed manual transmission. It still retains the original clutch pedal assembly and 3-speed column. It did have a 4-speed in it at one time which is evidenced by the cut in the floor for the shifter. For those of you who would rather have an automatic set up I can switch out the stick column and pedal assembly for a automatic column and pedal assembly. The choice is yours. It will come to you less motor and transmission, as pictured but without the ralley rims. I have an original 1960 283 4-bbl motor that was rebuilt approximately 5000 miles ago that could be worked into the deal. I also have a totally rebuilt 327 with zero miles that could be worked into the deal as well but this auction is for the car less motor and transmission as pictured. Approximately 2-1/2 years ago the car had new lower front and rear quarter patch panels and rocker panels installed. They still need some finishing. It also received new original style trunk pans (3 pieces) and new original style front floor pans at that time. The rear floor pans are flat metal unlike the originals and each has one or two dime size holes still needing attention. The area below the tail panels has all been rebuilt and although it is not exactly like the original metal it looks decent and is servicable. This is a great start for a rat rod, hot rod, gasser, kustom, low rider, bagged, slammed, or daily driver. If you are going for original and want top show you will need to rework some areas to make it exact as per original. After the body work was done 2-1/2 years ago a tree fell across the top of the passenger side quarter panel and damaged the trunk lid in the process. I purchased the car with the damaged trunk lid and quarter. I recently located a mint trunk lid in NC, stripped it to bare metal, epoxy primed it, then installed it. This particular lid fits 1960 hardtop only and is very hard to find today. There is NO bondo and NO rust on this lid inside or outside. It does latch when shut. The white quarter panel piece you see in the pictures is from a 1960 4-door hardtop I parted out and is included. It has the original white paint on it so you can see how nice it is. I also have the long upper quarter trim in VG condition, it was already off the car when the damage occured. This will fix almost all (if not all) of the damged area you see on the RH rear of the car. I placed black electrical tape on the existing quarter that outlines where the white panel would cover in some of the pictures for you to view. With the new trunk lid and the white quarter piece this becomes an easy repair. The roof has no rust bubbles anywhere and no dents. The area around the rear window looks good too, a common rust area on these cars. The doors and fenders are very usable with minimal rust, just a few bubbles here or there on some. The hood has no rust on the underside but does have a small dent on the pasenger side windsplit and the rear corners have been slightly bent, still very workable. The glass has no cracks. There is an area of fogging on the drivers side door glass near the bottom and there is a wiper mark on the passenger side of the windshild but there are no cracks. Some of the windows have a film to tint them and this can be removed easily. The trim is all there. You should be able to see everything in the supersizable pictures (or slide show) as to condition. The long strips on each side of the quarter stripe, top and bottom, are present but in poor condition. All other pieces are present and restorable, some do have small dents or imperfections. I also will supply you with a radiator and SBC fan shroud. The drive shaft is present too. I am trying to give you a car as complete as possible, less motor and trans. The VIN and PA. title match and are present. You will get the title free and clear signed by the seller and ready for you to sign. If you need a bill of sale I can provide one as well. The cowl tag is missing from the car. I have no clue as to why since it came to me that way. This will not prevent you from putting the title to the car in your name. The only other thing I need to mention is the rims, caps, and tires pictured do NOT go with the car. It will come with decent rollers that you can see stacked behind the car in some of the pictures. If you want the 15x7 ralley rims with excellent tires you can have them for an additional $300. Also, if you feel inclined to hit the buy it now I will include a set of new red carpet, a $175 value. One edge of the carpet has a very small spot that has been mouse chewed but it is the edge under the seat and you would never see it once installed and would never know a mouse got to it if I didn't tell you. It is that small of an area, real tiny! You only get the carpet with if you use the buy it now. I have tried to describe the car to the best of my ability. I do tend to go into detail as I have found it saves alot of time and questions in the long run. I try my best to make sure my buyers are happy with their purchase. I do not try to get top dollar for the cars I list since my overhead is low .....and my buy it now is always fair. I have sold 9 out of the last 10 cars listed and many have ended with the buy it now feature.
