This is a very nice, rare, and solid 1960 Chevy 2 door Impala bubble top. It is an older restoration that still shows very well. The car was completely disassemble to paint it this very attractive but non-factory color scheme. It is literally impossible to tell it was ever any other color. The color varies with the surrounding light levels. In the pictures I listed it appears to be more of a blue color than it actually is. In reality, it is more of a dark teal color in most lighting, but it is a very attractive color no matter what the surrounding light levels does to vary it. There is zero rust on this car as of now, the bottom is very clean, the door bottoms are solid, rockers solid, fenders, quarters, etc. but I can not honestly say that it has never had rust repair work done, and I do not know what State the car originated from. I do know that any replacement panels must have been professionally done as there are no signs of patchwork welds anywhere. It has all new weatherstripping. New tinted glass. All new reproduction interior. New gauges mounted to the same dash holes where the original gauges were. AM/ FM radio CD player in glove box. All new suspension, brakes, brake lines, etc. Power steering and brakes. All new polished American Torque thrust wheels and new B.F.Goodrich TA radial tires. The chrome and stainless trim is all in very nice shape but not newly re-plated. There are signs of where some of the trim was straightened out and polished, and the drivers side tail light bezel still has some dings and scratches on the edge of it. Car comes with matching color fender skirts, original factory steel wheels and hubcaps, front fender ornaments, and other misc, parts. Originally the car was built up as a 4 speed car and then later changed to the automatic. I do have every single piece to put it back to a 4 speed car, including Muncie 4 speed trans with Hurst shifter, bell housing, clutch, flywheel, all clutch rods, pedals, springs, drive shaft, etc. for an additional $875.00 if that would interest you. Currently, it is running a rebuilt 700-R4 over drive automatic with, now get this, a rebuilt 409 dual quad big block engine. Although it is not an original dual quad engine, it was built to similar specifications as one using a 1963 block and heads. It fires right up, choke works, and it cruises down the road like a new car. It also has a 3:55 factory posi rear end with the big "P" on the case. I was told it gets over 20 miles to the gallon on the highway, but have not verified that. All in all, this is a super nice cruiser / pro-touring / muscle car / hot rod that gets a whole lot of looks. It is not a numbers matching car by no means. For those of you that may not know how this type of auction works: There is no advantage to wait until the end of the auction to place a bid or make an offer. If you are a serious buyer, then the sooner you make a decision, the better your chances will be in purchasing this fine vehicle. Now for the business end. I encourage you, or someone you trust or hire, to come by and check out the vehicle in person. I will refund your deposit if the vehicle does not match the above description. The vehicle does not leave here until all funds clear my bank. Bank and cashiers checks can take up to 10 business days. My bank will give me a letter stating the date when the check will clear. I will forward a copy of the letter to you. Bank transfers can take up to 2 days depending on what time of the day it is initiated on your end. Again, my bank will let me know when it clears. Cash is great if picking it up in person. Call me at 314-732-592five to get honest answers to all of your questions BEFORE YOU BID. No trades or low ball offers, please do not ask. Thanks, Dave
