1960 Kingswood 9 passenger wagon - Air ride, LS, 6 speed, pro touring hot rod

Description for Chevrolet Impala 1960

OK here we go again. What I am selling is a rare, ORIGINAL PAINT, 1960 Kingswood 9 PASSENGER (third row seat) wagon from Arizona. People think that all these wagons had the seat in the back but that is not the case. Most of these were the base model six cylinder, three speed manual transmission base model Brookwood with the 6 passenger seating.
The 9 passenger Kingswood wagons cost more new and are more desirable now. There are hard to find in any condition. I don't think you could buy a roller needing everything for less than $10,000 and that is if you could even FIND one!
First time I listed it I had a couple trade offers but I am just trying to free up some garage space and funds for other projects. Last auction ended with a buyer that did not come through. So PLEASE make sure you can afford to ship it or can come after it. Make sure that you have all the money together and you have all the approvals from your wife, parents, psychic, clergy or spirit animal. I need the garage space so that's the only reason letting go of this diamond in the rough.

As you can see, this car still has most of it's original,impossible to find 60 year old original paint. If you look up "patina" this is about as close to perfect as you will ever find. It has some minor dents and dings but has never been wrecked or repainted. The hood is also original paint, but was swapped from another one of my cars. It is slightly less faded than the rest of the car but looks good. The rest of the car is 100% original finish with no touch ups or blended areas. The car is super straight with excellent rockers, both inside and out. The grille is very nice also.As with all of these old original paint cars, there are some crusty areas as you can see but it is all in lower areas and easy to take care of or just leave it as is and drive it. Car still has the original floor pans with some small holes but structurally solid. The chassis is rock solid and the car was treated with rust proofing at some point. Overall it is among the best OG paint 1960 Chevy wagons that I have seen and I have owned five others.

Even with all the work that has been completed, I still consider this to be a lite project car and have priced it accordingly.

The seats are firm and usable but have older upholstery. There is no carpet, only insulation on the floors. The headliner shown in the pictures is brand new from Ciadellas but needs to be installed. All the headliner bows are included. All of the trim is present and still in place. There are an extra 2 yards of matching vinyl to cover the visors. Door panels are complete with all the stainless trim but the vinyl is tired. Being an Arizona car most of the weatherstripping is dry. These are easy things to do and with a little money and spare time would really take this car to another level. This car could really be a show stopper with a fresh interior kit!
This car has working headlights, tail lights and brake lights and gas gauge. Speedometer needs a cable and adapter to mate with the T56. Engine monitoring gauges are mounted under the dash.

I have priced this car as a project with all the hard work being done already, with a fresh interior I figure this car to sell in the upper $30,000's to mid $40,000 range. Look around you'll see what a nice 59-60 Chevy will go for with an LS conversion and original paint. The winning bidder can enjoy it as it is or invest some money and take it to the next level. Whatever you decide to do, you can rest assured that you will not lose money on this hard to find factory 9 passenger wagon.
