1960 Chevrolet Impala The car starts right up and it is very dependable. This is not a car that will leave you stranded somewhere. It could be used as a daily driver if desired but a car like this should be a weekend car to get away from it all. No weird noises, oil leaks or other nasty problems. Registration and Title The car has been recently registered and has a clean California title. It has the original Year of Manufacture plates (Yellow with black letters & matching sticker). Accessories I have the Owners Manual, 1960 Impala dealer pamphlet, Shop Manual, Wiring Diagrams manual, and Assembly Manual. Body The doors close with a nice solid thump. All panels line up perfectly. The front clip of the car has all new parts (radiator support, wheel wells, hood latch, hood springs). All the weather stripping has been replaced, from the hood to the trunk.The car also has matching locks throughout, so 1 key will open all doors, trunk, glovebox, and start it up. The frame is solid, with no visible rust,holes or damage. The car has never been modified or cut in any way. Glass It has all windows and glass and they all roll up and down. No cracks or chips. However, the small vent windows have some minor bubbling around the edges, not too noticeable. Moldings It has all the moldings and most are in near perfect. It has minor dings and dents on the moldings but 95% are like new, still very shiny and straight. I have been told they can be fixed and polished easily if desired to be restored to showroom condition. Paint The paint is in good condition. However, it is not a “show” or super quality paint job. It has some small paint chips throughout and small blemishes on the trunk area. The defects are minor and not too noticeable. Overall it looks great. Electrical Everything but the windshield wiper motor works. Headlights, low and high beams work. Interior dome lights work. Dash lights work. Turn signals work. Horn works. Tail lights and reverse lights work. Glovebox light works. Parking warning light works. Simply put, this is almost in perfect condition, just replace the windshield wiper motor and you are good to go. I recently upgraded the generator to an alternator. The generator had been recently rebuilt but I wanted some more power to run the extra audio components. I will include the generator so if you wish to replace it to the original look you can. The Generator (charging) light also works and is wired to the alternator. Audio I have added new speakers in the front and rear. The factory radio does not work. However, I have wired an iPod and mp3 kit so you can play all your favorite tunes. The volume for the iPod/mp3 player is controlled from the factory radio volume knob. Everything is powered by an Alpine 4 Ch. Amplifier. Engine It has a 348 motor with an automatic transmission and it runs like a champ! Starts right up and it has plenty of power. The radiator was also re-cored recently. It also has an electric fan installed. It has a new complete exhaust installed. Also has new hoses and gas cap for the gas tank. The odometer reads 99XXX. However, the odometer just recently stopped working. Since then I have only put about 40 miles. Brakes and Suspension The brakes work great and were recently inspected and adjusted. The rear has new shocks. It rides real smooth. Interior The interior is in excellent condition, no rips or tears (it looks brand new). The carpet could use a cleaning but it has no stains, holes or tears. I have added two color matching seatbelts to the rear seats for the kids to ride safely when we go for a cruise. Everything looks great and the dash is also near perfect. Other The trunk has a custom setup with plenty of space in the designated compartments for tools/audio/spare tire/whatever. It is wrapped in white and aqua/turquoise vinyl to match the exterior. This is not permanent and may be easily removed in 5 minutes if desired. Rust For the age of the car, this is certainly a treasure. However, there are some areas in need of minor attention. The trunk area has 1 or 2 some small holes (about 1” in diameter) which could be patched. However, the trunk is still very solid, I have been in the trunk while wiring up the audio and it has held up just fine. The area just behind the rear wheels are showing some small bubbling from rust. The driver side rear passenger floorpan has some rust, which has gone through but it has a metal pan installed. The floorpans are all solid overall and are fine the way they are unless you plan on fully restoring the car.
