This Roman Red Impala convertible has received a complete frame-off restoration in which “every inch” has been refurbished to result in a fabulous show-quality car. The Chevrolet runs with a Super Turbo-Fire 283-cid, 230-hp small-block V-8 engine with a four-barrel carburetor and dual exhaust. The transmission is an automatic.
The interior is the original factory offering, as is the glass. The car is also equipped with power convertible top, power steering and radio with rear speaker. Exterior features are plentiful and create a stylish period look with a Continental kit, fender skirts, dual antennas, dual side mirrors, whitewall tires and factory wheel covers. The Impala is well-cared-for and regularly kept in a proper climate-controlled environment.
Beginning its run as the perennial best-seller; Chevrolet proclaimed that their Impala was “America’s most fashionable convertible.” The Impala for 1960 wore subtler gullwing rear styling than before, with three round taillamps; while, up front, a new grille let the local car spotters know that one was driving around in an Impala, the top of the Chevrolet line. At the very peak of the top of the slick, sleek Impala offerings was the convertible.This impressive example is further enhanced by having only 18,507 original miles registered on the odometer.
