1960 Chevrolet Impala Roman Red Convertible 348 V8 2 Speed Automatic

Description

National Award Winning Investment Grade Impala Convertible 348 Tri-Power V8 PS ///
The detailed restoration of this national award-winning Impala involved a frame-off mix of nostalgia and convenience that created a better-than-new cruiser. If you're looking for a spectacular trophy queen that's road ready, show ready, and just plain ready to go, this fully-sorted Chevy is the investment grade classic you've been dreaming of! The recipient of a 2006 AACA National First Prize, this brassy bowtie displays excellent bodywork that simply glistens under our bright showroom lighting. A lot of time and effort was put into making sure the car's profile is extremely straight, which resulted in Kansas-flat sheetmetal that's completely wave-free. That time was well spent as excellent panel gaps perfectly center hinged pieces that move freely and close with a solid thunk. And those pieces are bathed in a rich layer of Roman Red pigment, which has been sealed in glossy clear and buffed to a spectacular shine. Lift the car's smooth hood and you'll find 348 cubic inches of Super Turbo Thrust V8 that proudly displays a correct "FA" suffix stamp under correct Tri-power carburetion. Behind that mill, an era-correct Powerglide 2-speed spins a familiar GM rear end that literally sails the engine through its broad power band. Under that capable drivetrain, a completely rebuilt coil suspension is equipped with optional power steering and power drum brakes. And at the corners of that suspension, great looking 8.00-14 BF Goodrich Silvertown whitewalls frame deluxe factory wheel covers. With a clean restoration, fully sorted mechanicals and more style than pretty much anything on the road, this revered Impala literally defines the term "investment grade".
