Description for Chevrolet Impala 1960

Up for sale is a 1960 Biscayne 2 door post. This is a beautiful car and a true head turner! It has been customized slightly but still offers a traditional feel including the original minimal bright work including the stainless/chrome trim. All of the trim and bumpers except for a new grill and hood lip are the original parts. The custom interior was done with "stock like" stitching to keep the era. The exterior is a bright white and is in greatcondition. A custom billet grill has been made and installed to set this car apart from any other and subtle red pinstripe down the side spears have been added to compliment the interior. There are a few minor blemishes as I drive this car but being a southern car originally the body is very straight and absent of fill. Only one area of concern exists on the passenger rear quarter lip but is not terribly noticable. It would eventually need addressed but there are years of enjoyment before it became a major problem.The Interior sets the car off with a bright blood red "leather like" finish. eye catching contrast! minor upgrades have been done including a beautiful color matched dash arm rests mirror etc. and it has all billet specialties handles cranks and pedals as well as a custom red leather wrapped billet steering wheel that matches the wheels. Even the headliner has been custom sewn in the matching red upholstry. Gauges have been tastefully updated to white faced Dolphin's in the stock locations.The car has a very custom and tastefully accomplished 9 speaker sound system boasting all Memphis Audio components amplifiers and speakers. As a radio delete car the dash has been modified with a hand sculpted fiberglass insert to the stock hole to accommodate a new head unit. (see pics) The rear package tray was removed and a custom tray was crafted to include raised pods for 8" coaxial speakers as well as a 12" subwoofer enclosure. (see pics) The trunk has been walled off to keep all sound in the car and includes a custom amplifier rack that has been upholstered to match the interior of the car. Music really rocks in this thing!To set the stance the car sits on Coy C57 wheels which are 20x8.5 in the front and a 22x9 tucked in the rear. Tires are in like new condition.The car has an air suspension system with all components tucked behind the side panels in the finished trunk. What is even cooler is that the controls and air gauge have been custom integrated into what used to be the factory ash tray. (see pics).The car has been upgraded to CPP big brakes including 13" drilled and slotted front rotors and 11.5" drilled and slotted rotors in the rear. All four calipers are powder coated red to match the interior and car accents.The drivetine is simple but very reliable and runs perfect. It is a multiple "Long Hauler" on the Hot Rod Power Tour!!! It is a 350 c.i. with a turbo 350 trans. The drivetrain was a fresh build 5 years ago and has only 9000 miles on it. It has absolutely no smoke on startup or while driving does not run hot and is very consistently smooth. THe exhaust is true duals with pipe in great condition and fairly new 50 series deltaflow Flowmaster mufflers. It has a nice quiet and subtle throaty sound. The driveshaft recently had new u-joints and a center carrier bearing replaced.The chassis and undercarriage is very clean. No rust issues exist anywhere pans are great the frame is sound and the gas tank is great shape. Even with not coating the underneath it is still very clean which testifies the integrity and quality of the car. I have tried to provide some pictures for review. The suspension has an air management system with custom brackets to support large air bags in the front for better stability and ride. The hard components have been recently gone through including new ball joints shocks etc. and the car was recently aligned. Front shocks were installed and relocated outside of the a-arms with brackets welded to the frame with very little fabrication needed to the inner fenders. Other than that the car sits low and has full turning radius without any modifications. The large 22s tuck in the back without any cutting. This car is a awesome road car and floats down the road straight and nice!Serious inquiries only please. Seller is responsible for transport/relocation of the vehicle.
