For your consideration is an absolutely gorgeous example of one of General Motors first real factory hot rods, a 1960 Impala 2 dr Bubble Top. This Beauty is virtually a survivor, with one repaint about 20 years ago. Equipped how it should be with its numbers matching drivetrain, 348 V8 with Factory Tri Power, 3 speed manual on the column, and a folder full of documentation down to the original dealer invoice, temp tag, sold sticker, warranty card, and manual! Equipped with all of today's modern conveniences like power steering, power disc brakes, and air condition makes this beauty easy to drive any day of the week!
The Impala is finished in the correct factory color of Ermine White Paint. She shines at any angle, with much depth and gloss. Take a look at the pics, still shows exceptionally well. To put it simply, its just super nice. I would call the car a high end driver quality vehicle. Undercarriage is very clean, straight, & finished in flat black with a light undercoat which is consistent with a factory application. It’s not all cobbled up with Auto Zone rubberized crap! No issues. All original sheet metal, original trunk pan, original quarters, fenders, floors, etc. The engine bay has a gloss black finish that looks great. It just has a wow factor when you pop the hood at local cruise nights!
It rides, drives, and handles very well; straight down the road with no shimmies, shakes, or vibrations. Extremely tight and surprisingly easy to drive for a 58 year old car. I would not hesitate to get behind the wheel of this car with my family and drive it across country. She cruises at 70 MPH like a new car. Rides like a Cadillac!! A person of any size or age could drive this vehicle comfortably. All of the lights, turn signals, brakes, gauges,etc are functioning properly. Engine fires right up with no smoking, ticking, noises, etc. Has a fantastic sound with Dual Exhaust. Car is turnkey and ready to drive anywhere. The Impala still retains its original Red and White two tone interior, seats, headliner, door panels. And still shows extremely well. Below is a detailed breakdown of the Chevy:
