Here is a 1960 Chevrolet Impala Convertible with 55,700 ORIGINAL MILES car has the original drive train & is a matching numbers car with the 348 cu in with 4 bbl carb & the turbo-glide automatic transmission. Has factory power brakes & steering & white power top with red boot. Has the accessory guards on the front & back bumpers, knock off wheels spinners with the cross flags, original fender skirts in the trunk & has the optional front fender ornaments. Very solid car inside & out. Car has spent it's whole life in southern California & has recorded documented history included. The car has a story to tell the 2nd owner bought it from the original owner in 1985 with the intention of buying a '59 Impala Convertible but he couldn't find one so he found this '60 Impala & only put 1000 miles the whole time he had the car he owned it for 28 years & sold it to the 3rd owner last year. But shortly after he bought this '60 he found his 1959 Impala Convertible the car he really wanted & that became the car he was driving on the weekends to this day & he had an extra car garage & he put this '60 Impala in storage for 28 years. In 2007 & 2008 he had the transmission rebuilt & installed a new stock red & white interior & rechromed the front & back bumpers & replaced all the side trim & stainless with NOS GM stock & had the car repainted back to the original color of Ermine White. ( The original owner changed the color to Roman red ). Exterior & interior colors are paint & trim code correct. Paint code 936 = Ermine White, Trim code 874 = Red & White vinyl impala. 2nd owner spent $11,014.00 on this car & kept a record of work & maintenance receipts. Car has new BF Goodrich Silver town 4 ply wide whites with matching spare. I just spent $1,436.00 fixing the brakes with new shoes & wheel cylinders & one new drum & had the brake system flushed & replaced the master cylinder & brake booster. The original 55 year old ones were toast. Very functional car & every component works except the clock & cigarette lighter , but all the gauges & dash lights & interior lights & high & low beam headlights, parking lights, taillights, brake lights, back up lights, license plate light & turn signals work. Factory original push button am radio & heater & defrost controls work great & the 2 speed wipers work & the horn works even the glove box light works. Factory original padded dash is in excellent condition. Has 2-way mirror . Among the recorded history is the name & phone # of the original owner of this car. According to the 2nd owner the top is original he said the only thing the original owner replaced was the back window of the canvas. Car also has a new gas tank & the chassic underneath is very clean. This car is a restoration & a time capsule & is a very impressive car & fun to drive & a good investment. The 59 Impala Convertibles are the new goldmines probably because they're more rare & hard to find ( I know a '59 Impala Ragtop that recently sold for $60,000 at a local dealer ) but I think it's just a question of time when the '60 Impala Ragtops will soon catch up & take over & maybe even surpass it's outrageous Batwing predecessor . If you can't find or afford the '59's the '60 is the next best thing & just as exciting. Shall we ask the 2nd owner ?? I like both years. The 60 Impala Rags are on the launching pad & getting ready to blast off in price so get in now before prices are out of the park first it was the'58 &'59 Impala Convertibles the '60's are next & rising in value as we speak so hurry. Please no trades. This is a good car so happy bidding. Payment must be a bank wire transfer or cash bills & no checks of any kind. I encourage & recommend all serious buyers to come & see the car if you can. For questions please call at 971 732-2691 & please no text messages I will not return texts. These auctions cost money so please bid only if you're serious & have the moneybags & intention to buy. I know what these cars are worth my reserve price is reasonable & lower than most of the other 60 Ragtops out there. It's priced accordingly it's a good car for a good price with plenty of resale value. Unless you have $80,000 or more to spend on a trailer queen if you just want a nice correct stock original 60 Impala Conv. to cruise around in at a fair reasonable price then this is the car you want. Serious calls only please.
