1960 Chevy Impala restoration --- On the road again

[bobs409]

A nice 10 minute video about a 60 Chevy that sees the road again since 1969!

With both those vehicles there, I want to move to that block.

Looks great and appears to have been a super solid car to start out with. Nice video - thanks for sharing.

Thanks Bob, great video.
My neighbor has a 1960 Impala that he restored in about 2010. It also had not been run since 1969. I'll look for a few photos to post.

The only thing that disappointed me was that he put skirts on the car. Back when those cars were new, I doubt that one in 500 had skirts on them. I remember that my dad had a 1960 Black Impala convertible, and it was a very sharp car, with a 348 and a turbo-glide automatic, spinner wheel covers, power windows, seats, and cruise control. My father knew the owner of a dealership, and he got the wife's former car. She got a new car every 6 months, so the "used" once kept their value.
My brother had her 1958 Impala convertible, it was like a cream color, with a gold interior if I remember correctly. It was also a loaded car, and had air ride suspension. The air bags would go bad from ice forming in them in the winter time. They warrantied the bags a few times, and then changed it over to a standard suspension.

Lamar is a friend of mine. He and his wife are good people and as you can see he did most of the work in his home garage as I did on my 59.

I'm picking up my first 1960 Impala today. It's been on my bucket list since I was old enough to drive (1981). Thank you for sharing your journey.
