Classic long, low and lean. New running gear

1960 Chevrolet Impala Description

Aged to Perfection....just as the rear vanity plate reads....this car has aged well and in many cases is in better shape and comes with a few "bolt on's" that make her better than factory equipped.
Offered for sale is this gorgeous 1960 Impala 2 door Sport Coupe (BIG BACK WINDOW)that comes with original sales documents. Sold new in Chatanooga TN @ ADCOX-KIRBY Chevrolet to it's original owner, a Mr. Boyd F. Casson, also of Chattanooga. It is very rare that one can track a 57 year old classic back to its original roots. Originally equipped with Power Steering and dealer installed Power Brakes, Super Turbo Fire 283/230hp engine and Turboglide 2 speed auto transmission, this improved version now features that same power steering, modern high performance 4 wheel power disc brakes, a more hearty 350/300hp V8 and it's original 2 speed transmission for improved performance, handling and safety.
Other additions to bring this classic into the modern age include new 18"/20" chrome wheels wrapped in high performance Toyo radials with a touch of the classic Redline look to accent this cars original Red offsetting trim stripes. The interior still wears its original color scheme, although upgraded with new material, carpet and door sills.
This car is a head turner and draws attention everywhere it goes. It has a mild build on the 350 V8 and that nice muscle car exhaust note and perfect stance. A VERY smooth and well applied Ermine White factory paint scheme has been color sanded and buffed to a very high gloss that shows well in any light. Body lines remain straight and true and the classic styling of this 1 year only body style is very desirable by collectors of the early 60's vintage.
Some of the best features of this car are not noticeable at first glance....only after a thorough undercarriage inspection will you notice the new brake lines, shocks, and high performance power disc brakes at all 4 corners. With offset Red color calipers, these recent additions, as well as the 18's up front and 20's out back, give this car a much more nimble and sure footed feel when working in traffic or carving corners on some winding backroads.
A true example of a well documented, well preserved and slightly enhanced version of that always noticeable 1960 Impala Sport Coupe, bid with confidence on this entry to add to your stable of classics or for it to become your "one and only".
