This 1960 Chevrolet Impala convertible was refurbished under previous ownership and is powered by a 283ci V8 mated to a two-speed Powerglide automatic transmission. The car is finished in red over red and white vinyl and features a power-operated white convertible top, a top boot, chrome bumpers, a driver-side mirror, rear fender skirts, power steering, 14″ steel wheels with faux-knockoff-style polished covers, bench seating, front seatbelts, a push-button AM radio, a heater, and polished dashboard trim. This Impala was acquired by the selling dealer from its previous owner of 18 years in 2024 and is now offered with the owner’s manual and a clean Kansas title.
The car was finished in Roman Red at the factory and is said to have been refinished before 2006. Equipment includes a power-operated white convertible top, a top boot, quad headlights, chrome bumpers, a driver-side mirror, rear fender skirts, horizontal tail fins, separate taillights, and bright trim. The seller states that a continental kit was removed, which left marks on the rear bumper as well as holes in the trunk lid that are concealed with a stainless steel plate.
The 14″ steel wheels wear faux-knockoff-style polished covers and are mounted with 7.50-14 Allstate Guardsman whitewall bias ply tires. The car is equipped with power steering, and stopping power is provided by front and rear drum brakes.
The cabin was reupholstered under previous ownership and the seating surfaces are upholstered in red and white vinyl. Interior appointments include bench seating, front seatbelts polished dashboard trim, manual-crank windows, a push-button AM radio, a heater, and quarter-vent windows.
The two-spoke steering wheel features a semicircular chrome horn ring and fronts a 120-mph speedometer, an analog clock, a warning light cluster, and additional gauges for coolant temperature and fuel level. The five-digit odometer shows 74k miles, less than 100 of which were added under current ownership.
The 283ci V8 sends power to the rear wheels via a two-speed Powerglide automatic transmission.
