This 1960 Chevrolet Impala convertible has had much restoration work done, and was finished about a year ago. The car was completely disassembled, the body was removed from the frame, and the frame was sandblasted and painted, and all new control arm bushings and ball joints were installed. The body was also sandblasted, and all rusty metal was cut out and much new metal was welded in, including floor pans, rear quarter sections, trunk area. The quality of the metal work is very good. The body was put back on the frame and it was sent out for finish body work and paint, and it came out very nice. When the paint was finished it was delivered back to me for re-assembly, and I finished it about a year ago.
It has a complete new interior, including seat covers, door panels, carpet, seat belts, etc. It has a new windshield and a new convertible top with a new red parade boot. The power top mechanism works excellent. It has a re-built 283 V8 motor with a Rochester 2 barrel carburetor and a rebuilt aluminum powerglide automatic transmission, both run flawlessly. The rebuilt rear end has the 3:08 gear ratio (best for highway) and new center carrier bearing. It has the original style power steering, and works perfect. Every component of the brakes are new, from the dual line master cylinder to the wheel cylinders, and DOT 5 (silicone) brake fluid was used to prevent corrosion over long periods of time. All new single exhaust. Front end alignment was done.
Basically, everything on this car works, down to the radio, windshield washers and glove box light. The clock was replaced with a voltage meter, but the original clock will be included with the car. Presently there is an alternator in the car, but if the new owner chooses I will convert it back to stock and install a nicely restored generator.
The car is not perfect, it has some trim pieces that could be a little better, and there are a couple of small blemishes in the paint, but this car is very, very nice and needs nothing that would prevent you from enjoying it just as it is. I encourage anyone who is interested in the car to come and see it, the car speaks for itself.
I can answer any questions you may have, by email or telephone (413)-539-9769 (before 8:00 PM eastern time please), ask for Dave.

Kurt Busch to shake and bake (again) in Ricky Bobby car at Talladega
Sat, 19 Oct 2013Kurt Busch will channel Ricky Bobby for another NASCAR race, this time driving a Wonder-sponsored Chevrolet SS, in this weekend's Camping World RV Sales 500 at the Talladega Motor Speedway. Unlike past tie-ins, though, there's actually an element of sponsorship here (the "Me" car was done when Busch was running on a team without sponsorship).
It was arranged by Flower Foods, the new owner of the Wonder brand. Wonder was part of the bankrupt Hostess company, which temporarily exited the US market 2012, and set off the Great Twinkie Shortage.
Busch has made something of a habit of channeling characters from famous racing movies, most recently running Tom Cruise's City Chevrolet livery from Days of Thunder in a Nationwide Series race earlier this year. Busch kicked off his movie-inspired antics, though, at Talladega in 2012, when he raced El Diablo's ("It's like... Spanish for like a fighting chicken") "Me" car complete with a cougar on the hood. He even went so far as to channel the lovable idiot that is Ricky Bobby during the race, dropping a few catchphrases about macchiatos and slingshots.
Chevrolet planning low-cost Corvette under Stingray?
Wed, 27 Feb 2013If you're burnt out on musings about the Chevrolet Corvette, you'll want to go ahead and skip this post. Motor Trend reports General Motors is hard at work on a low-cost version of the seventh-generation sports car for 2015. Rumored to be called the Corvette Coupe, the car will forgo the Stingray and skip the 450-horsepower 6.2-liter V8 engine in favor of a 5.3-liter V8 with under 400 ponies. If you're keeping track, that's a shade of the same engine found behind the headlights of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra.
The report also suggests the Coupe will receive a number of aesthetic tweaks to separate it from the Stingray, including different front and rear fascias as well as new front fenders and a rear diffuser. Motor Trend says the point of all this is to cut the car's price tag, which means we may see a Corvette on showroom floors for less than $50,000 if this car comes to fruition.
GM recalling 118K Colorado, Canyon pickups over missing hood latches
Thu, 20 Dec 2012General Motors has announced a recall of 118,800 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon pickup trucks due to the possibility of secondary hood latches not being installed at the time of manufacture. The affected vehicles are from the 2010, 2011 and 2012 model years, all of which were built between November 9, 2009 and August 28, 2012.
According to the official National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report, these trucks fail to "comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 113, 'Hood Latch System.' The hood may be missing the secondary hood latch." In other words, owners of these trucks could find their vehicles' hoods opening unexpectedly while driving.
The official recall campaign is expected to begin on January 17, 2013. Dealers will inspect the affected pickups and if a secondary hood latch is not present, one will be installed free of charge. Scroll down to read the official NHTSA report.
