1960 IMPALA CONVERTIBLE AUCTION OF THIS 1960 IMPALA CONVERTIBLE. IF IT DOES NOT SELL, I AM GOING TO RESTORE IT. I BOUGHT THE CAR BACK IN JUNE WITH THE INTENTION OF A TOTAL RESTORATION BUT HAVE SINCE FOUND ANOTHER CAR (1968 442 ) WHICH IS #1 ON MY WISH LIST. UNFORTUNATELY I CAN'T DO BOTH OF THEM. THIS IMPALA HAS A 350 ENGINE COUPLED WITH A 350 TURBO AUTOMATIC. IT APPEARS AS IF THE CAR WAS AN ORIGINAL 348 CAR (NOT POSITIVE OF THAT). THE ENGINE RUNS GOOD AND THE TRANNY SHIFTS CORRECTLY. I DO NOT HAVE THE ORIGINAL ENGINE OR TRANSMISSION. THE CAR IS COMPLETE AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PICTURES. I CURRENTLY HAVE BUCKET SEATS MOUNTED IN THE FRONT, AS THAT IS WHAT I WANTED. A BENCH SEAT FRAME CAN BE FOUND FOR APPROX. $300. THE REAR SEAT IS OUT OF A 1960 2 DR BUBBLE TOP AND THE FRAME WILL NEED TO BE ADJUSTED WHEN THE SEATS ARE RE-COVERED. THE POWER TOP HAS A SEAM SEPARATION ABOVE THE REAR WINDOW. I PLANNED TO REPLACE IT, ALTHOUGH IT MIGHT BE ABLE TO BE REPAIRED, OR LEFT AS IS. IT GOES UP AND DOWN WITH THE DASH MOUNTED CONTROL AS IT SHOULD. THE EXHAUST IS BRAND NEW FROM FRONT TO REAR INCLUDING MANIFOLDS. THE FLOORS HAVE HAD SOME WORK DONE ON THEM BY A PREVIOUS OWNER AND ARE SOLID. THE CARPET HAS BEEN REMOVED. THE TRUNK IS IN GOOD CONDITION. LIGHTS ALL WORK. SOME OF THE GAGES DON'T. THE EXTERIOR TRIM IS ALL THERE WITH NORMAL WEAR FOR A 50 YEAR OLD CAR. THE BODY IS IN GOOD CONDITION. IT HAS HAD SOME BODY WORK DONE BY A PREVIOUS OWNER. THE PASSENGER DOOR HAS A DENT IN IT AND IT IS EVIDENT THERE HAS BEEN SOME BODY WORK DONE TO THE DOOR, AS WELL AS AROUND THE REAR WHEEL OPENINGS. ALL OF THE WINDOWS ROLL UP AND DOWN. THE UNDERSIDE AND SUSPENSION ARE IN GOOD CONDITION. ALL BRAKE CYLINDERS ARE BRAND NEW. MY PLAN INCLUDED RE-PAINTING THE ENTIRE CAR, ALTHOUGH WITH SOME TOUCH UP AND REPAIR TO THE PASSENGER DOOR (AUCTION INCLUDES A USED DOOR SHELL), THE PAINT LOOKS PRETTY GOOD. IT DOES HAVE WHAT APPEARS TO BE A LOT OF DUST IN THE PAINT. IT MAY HAVE BEEN PAINTED IN A GARAGE WITH POOR VENTILATION. YOU CAN'T SEE IT FROM A DISTANCE, BUT IT IS EVIDENT UP CLOSE. PLEASE E-MAIL IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS OR I CAN BE REACHED AT 402-677-2185. THANKS FOR LOOKING AND GOOD LUCK. AS STATED EARLIER, MY INTENT WHEN I PURCHASED THIS CAR WAS TO DO A TOTAL RESTORATION. IT IS A GREAT CANDIDATE FOR A RESTORATION, OR WITH A LITTLE TLC, IT COULD BE A GREAT LOOKING DRIVER. THE CAR IS SOLD AS IS AND BUYER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR SHIPPING. I CAN ASSIST WITH LOADING IF NEEDED.
