Introduced in 1958, the Impala began as Chevrolet’s upscale new 2-door hardtop and quickly became an icon. After a one-year-only body style, the 1959 Impala brought bold “Jet Age” styling, followed by a cleaner, more refined redesign in 1960 with all-new body panels.
This particular 1960 Impala Sport Coupe, built in the fourth week of July that year, has been fully restored and now wears a striking Roman Red exterior with a Cameo White roof. The restoration includes a correct red and white cloth and vinyl interior that reflects the original 1960 design. The body is straight and solid with clean panel gaps and smooth operation of the hood, doors, and trunk. The paint, chrome, and stainless trim all show high-quality craftsmanship throughout.
Inside, the Impala’s cabin is beautifully presented in correct OEM style, featuring a split-back front bench seat and a fully restored trunk with a factory-style plaid mat. Additional features include a factory AM radio, dual rear antennas, dual sun visors, and the iconic two-tone steering wheel. Red and black loop carpeting is protected by Impala-branded floor mats.
Power comes from Chevrolet’s legendary 348ci “W-head” V8 with correct Tri-Power triple two-barrel carburetors, a proper AC air cleaner, chrome valve covers, and a dual exhaust system. The undercarriage is detailed with correct suspension, driveline components, and a newer fuel tank. Driving is made easier with power steering and 4-wheel power drum brakes, plus a modern 4-speed overdrive automatic transmission.
This Impala rides on correct steel wheels with full covers and period-style wide whitewall tires. With its classic looks and strong performance, this 1960 Chevrolet Impala Sport Coupe is a standout example, ready for both show and cruising.
