1960 Chevrolet Impala
The car starts right up and it is very dependable. This is not a car that will
leave you stranded somewhere. It could be used as a daily driver if desired but
a car like this should be a weekend car to get away from it all. No weird
noises, oil leaks or other nasty problems.
Registration and Title
The car has been recently registered and has a clean Hawaii title. The car was purchased from California 4 years ago. It has
the original Year of Manufacture plates (Yellow with black letters &
matching sticker).
Accessories
I have the Owners Manual, 1960 Impala dealer pamphlet, Shop Manual, Wiring
Diagrams manual, and Assembly Manual.
Body
The doors close with a nice solid thump. All panels line up perfectly. The
front clip of the car has all relatively new parts (radiator support, wheel wells, hood
latch, hood springs). All the weather stripping has been replaced, from the
hood to the trunk.The car also has matching locks throughout, so 1 key will
open all doors, trunk, glovebox, and start it up.
The frame is solid, with no visible holes or damage. The car has never
been modified or cut in any way.
Glass
It has all windows and glass and they all roll up and down. No cracks or chips.
However, the small vent windows have some minor bubbling around the edges, not
too noticeable.
Moldings
It has all the moldings and most are in near perfect. It has minor dings and
dents on the moldings but 90% are like new, still very shiny and straight. I
have been told they can be fixed and polished easily if desired to be restored
to showroom condition.
Paint
The paint is in ok condition. However, it is not a “show” or super quality
paint job. It has some small paint chips throughout and small blemishes on the
trunk area. The defects are minor, but it will be in need a paint job sooner or later. Overall it looks
great and is a real head-turner whenever you take it for a ride.
Electrical
Headlights, low and high beams
work. Interior dome lights work. Dash lights work. Turn signals work. Horn
works. Tail lights and reverse lights work. Glovebox light works. Parking
warning light works. Simply put, this is almost in perfect condition. I recently upgraded
the generator to an alternator. The generator had been recently rebuilt but I
wanted some more power to run the extra audio components. The
Generator (charging) light also works and is wired to the alternator. It is a chrome alternator and looks really nice.
Audio
I have added new speakers in the front and rear. The factory radio does not
work. However, I have wired an iPod and mp3 kit so you can play all your
favorite tunes. The volume for the iPod/mp3 player is controlled from the
factory radio volume knob. Set of Clarion sub-woofers in the back (non-mounted) for great sounds and a speaker in the front under the dash. Everything is powered by amp and EQ.
Engine
It has a 348 motor with an automatic transmission and it runs like a champ!
Starts right up and it has plenty of power. The radiator was also re-cored
in the last few years. It also has an electric fan installed. It has a 4 year old complete exhaust
installed. Also has new hoses and gas cap for the gas tank. The odometer reads 89XXX. However, the odometer just stopped working a little while back. Since then I have
only put about 500 miles on the vehicle.
Brakes and Suspension
The brakes work great and were recently inspected and adjusted. The rear has
new shocks. It rides real smooth.
Interior
The interior is in excellent condition, no rips or tears (it looks brand new).
The carpet could use a cleaning but it has no stains, holes or tears. I have
added two color matching seatbelts in the front and rear. Everything looks great and the dash is also
near perfect.
Other
The trunk has a custom setup with plenty of space in the designated
compartments for tools/audio/spare tire/whatever. It is wrapped in white and
aqua/turquoise vinyl to match the exterior. This is not permanent and may be
easily removed in 5 minutes if desired.
Rust
For the age of the car, this is certainly in good shape. However, there are some
areas in need of minor attention. The trunk area has 1 or 2 some small holes
(about 1” in diameter) which could be patched. However, the trunk is still very
solid, I have been in the trunk while wiring up the audio and it has held up
just fine. The area just behind the rear wheels are showing some small bubbling
from rust. The driver side rear passenger floorpan has some rust, which has
gone through but it has a metal pan installed. The floorpans are all solid
overall and are fine the way they are unless you plan on fully restoring the
car. Again, there is some rust but very minor and could be fixed very easily.
Wheels and Tires
The Impala is sitting on a beautiful set of Daytons. These is a bit of rust on them, and if you decide to keep them you'll probably want to have them re-chromed in the near future.
Tires are solid and in great condition.
Recent Work
Head gaskets and torque bolts
Steering coupling and gear box
New rear brake lines
New wiper motor
Axle bearings
All of this work has been done in the last 1000 miles, making this Impala a smoother ride and a lot of fun to drive.
If you've got any questions, please ask and I will do my best to answer them. Thank you for your interest.

Variety, as they say, is the spice of life. That's a lesson that is currently being taught to General Motors, because despite a strong showing from its 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, the General's pickup sales still can't best those of cross-town rival Ford.
With 59,163 trucks moved, GM fell just over 1,000 units short of toppling Ford, and one of the main reasons for that, according to GM's chief sales analyst, was due to a lack of variety in the engines and body styles available on dealer lots. "We are still over-weighted toward crew-cab V8 trucks. Our light-duty mix will moderate over time as our launch progresses," said Kurt McNeil.
Loading dealers with the popular combination of the 5.3-liter V8 and the four-door, Crew Cab body style was intentional during the truck's launch, but as supplies of leftover 2013 models, which are being sold at heavy incentives, are beginning to wane, both budget-conscious and high-dollar buyers are looking elsewhere instead of at the volume model pickups.

Last night must have seemed like a dream come true for San Francisco Giants pitcher Madison Bumgarner. He helped his team win its third World Series Championship in four years, earned MVP status and was given a brand new 2015 Chevrolet Colorado. Bumgarner might want to hold off on taking a victory lap in his new truck however. The Colorado is currently under recall. General Motors issued a stop-delivery order earlier this month to fix the truck's air bag connectors, which were wired improperly during the manufacturing process. The faulty wiring can cause the system to deploy incorrectly. Only 138 customers have received their Chevrolet trucks, the rest were caught and repaired either in the plant or on their way to dealerships and show rooms. Recalls Chevrolet world series
