1960 Chevrolet Impala

INTRODUCTION: Check out the stance on this beauty! Sitting pretty on upgraded RideTech suspension, this Impala has the looks to stop you in your tracks. But you're not going to want to just admire it! With a fuel-injected 502 big block, performance built transmission, and a Currie 3.70 posi rear end, you're going to want to drive it every chance you get. Add in a frame-off restoration, and you've got one stunning Impala that delivers both show and go! EXTERIOR: The vibrant Roman Red paint was applied with great attention to detail and polished to a slick, mirror like finish. Looking down the sides of this long, straight body, you'll appreciate the smooth contours and crisp lines. The bumpers have been rechromed, and the remaining brightwork has a beautiful, lustrous shine. The side glass was replaced with smoked glass, not simply tinted. It's also equipped with the desirable bowtie side mirrors. Up front, the grille is in excellent shape and proudly displays the classic Chevrolet crossed flags. Upgraded Holley RetroBright LED headlights, along with LED taillights and reverse lights, provide improved visibility for those late night cruises. The stance is absolutely perfect! It's sitting on a gorgeous set of 18-inch Jongbloed wheels wrapped in performance tires. The wheels were even removed so the backsides could be painted red, a nice looking detail. INTERIOR: They restored it back to its original vintage charm inside. Down on the floor it has real nice fitting carpet along with some embroidered Impala mats. It feels like the seats have been recushioned and they are reupholstered in the houndstooth pattern along with matching reproduction door panels. The armrests, handles and window cranks have all been replaced. Overhead is a real nice white headliner, visors and LED interior lights. The dash is painted a smooth gloss black. It has a mini tach in the dash and a set of SunPro gauges down below along with the Holley Sniper fuel injection digital readout. It has the 1960 style steering wheel but it is made smaller to get in and out easier. There is a hidden Bluetooth stereo in the glove box, the previous owner claims $6,000 was spent on the sound system alone. In the trunk it has amps, sub woofer and speakers in the rear deck. Seat belts were added in the front, which were still optional in 1960. ENGINE COMPARTMENT: It gets its heartbeat from a GM Performance crate 502 engine generating 502 horsepower! Equipped with GM aluminum heads and bow tie intake. It's being fed through a Holley Sniper II fuel injection system and gets spark from a Sniper Hyperspark system. It also has a nice set of coated headers. Further enhancements include a RAB front runner system with billet brackets, serpentine pulleys, and a one wire alternator. It also features power steering and hydro boost power brakes from CPP. A Griffin aluminum radiator with dual electric fans and a polished overflow bottle keeps it running cool. It has an Optima battery, new horns and hood insulation. The engine bay is neatly painted gloss red. TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Under the trunk lid and the jamb are painted real nice red. Inside has sound deadener underneath the insulated carpet that's been custom cut with bound edges. It is completely lined. Behind the rear panel is the upgraded stereo equipment. UNDERSIDE: It is riding on a Ride Tech HQ suspension which includes Strong Arm tubular control arms, Muscle Bar swaybar, plus coilover adjustable gas shocks in the front and back. Upgraded Wilwood disc brake system with drilled and slotted rotors at all four wheels and the e-brake is hooked up. The extra fat exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers nicely follows the x-frame and winds its way through the rear suspension. The fuel system was replaced including the tank and is compatible with the fuel injection. The 4L60 overdrive automatic transmission has a fresh performance build. The rebuilt driveshaft connects to a fresh looking Currie 9 inch rear end. It was upgraded with Yukon D
