What’s special about this listing

1960 Chevrolet Impala Sport Coupe – Frame-Off Restored, Four-Speed, Tuxedo Black Beauty

This stunning 1960 Chevrolet Impala Hardtop captures the essence of early-’60s American style with its elegant lines, iconic triple tail lamps, and unmistakable road presence. Finished in its original color combination of Tuxedo Black over Red and White, this car underwent a frame-off restoration in 2010, blending timeless looks with tasteful performance upgrades and modern reliability.

Under the hood, a 288 cubic-inch V8 paired with a four-barrel carburetor delivers smooth, confident power through a four-speed manual transmission—perfect for enthusiasts who love to drive. A Magnaflow stainless steel dual exhaust system adds a refined performance tone, while chrome engine accessories highlight the detailed engine bay.

The suspension has been thoughtfully upgraded with QA1 coil-overs up front and QA1 shocks with coil springs in the rear, giving this Impala a composed ride and modern handling feel. Power steering enhances drivability, and power drum brakes maintain a period-correct appearance while ensuring solid stopping performance.

Riding on Foose 5-spoke alloy wheels wrapped in BFGoodrich G-Force tires (225/45-18 front, 245/40-18 rear), the stance is just right—subtle yet aggressive enough to make a statement.

The Tuxedo Black paint shines beautifully, complemented by excellent chrome, stainless trim, and glass throughout. Inside, the Red interior presents in superb condition, featuring a bench seat, red carpet, and electronic gauges (with the original instruments included). Every detail inside feels clean, classic, and comfortable.
