1960 Chevrolet Impala Convertible
Here is the crown jewel of 1960 full-size Chevrolets—a breathtaking, frame-off rotisserie-restored Impala Convertible finished in factory-correct Tasco Turquoise over an exquisite turquoise and white houndstooth interior. This is the car serious collectors spend years searching for: a top-of-the-line convertible carrying the legendary factory 348-cubic-inch big-block with genuine Tri-Power induction, then loaded with a combination of factory power options and ultra-rare air conditioning that most 1960 Impalas never wore when new. Finding any 1960 Impala Convertible is an accomplishment. Finding one restored to this uncompromising standard, with this drivetrain and this depth of factory convenience equipment, is very nearly impossible. From the pristine, show-detailed undercarriage to the laser-straight bodywork and mirror-deep chrome, no expense was spared bringing this classic back to investment-grade perfection. If you value rarity, authenticity, and restoration quality you can verify at every panel and fastener, this Impala deserves your serious attention.
Engine & Drivetrain
- Factory-original 348-cubic-inch big-block V8—the heart of Chevrolet’s early “W-series” performance era and a genuinely desirable, correct powerplant that anchors this car’s authenticity and long-term collector value
- Legendary Tri-Power induction with three two-barrel carburetors—a coveted, period-correct factory setup that separates this Impala from the ordinary single-carb cars and delivers strong, satisfying big-block torque
- Smooth-shifting automatic transmission for effortless, refined cruising exactly as a top-tier 1960 convertible should drive
- Full frame-off rotisserie restoration with a pristine, show-detailed undercarriage and chassis—the kind of ground-up execution that leaves nothing hidden and rewards the closest inspection
- A drivetrain and chassis restored to a standard that makes this Impala equally at home on the show field or the open road
Exterior
- Stunning factory-correct Tasco Turquoise paint laid over laser-straight body panels—a period-perfect shade that suits this Impala’s sweeping lines beautifully
- Genuine convertible body with a power convertible top that raises and lowers effortlessly for instant open-air motoring
- Color-matched fender skirts and a fully dressed rear Continental Kit—desirable styling accents that complete the car’s elegant, top-of-the-line presence
- Show-quality chrome, stainless trim, glass, and emblems throughout—brightwork restored to a mirror finish that reflects the overall caliber of the build
- The unmistakable, aircraft-inspired 1960 Chevrolet styling—long, low, and dramatic, and instantly recognizable at any show or auction
Interior
- Exquisite turquoise and white interior with classic houndstooth cloth inserts—a striking, factory-correct combination that defines the golden age of American automotive style
- Factory air conditioning—an exceptionally rare and highly sought-after option for 1960 that dramatically elevates both the desirability and everyday enjoyment of this convertible
- Power windows and a power seat, functioning smoothly for genuine deluxe comfort
- Power steering and power brakes for relaxed, confident cruising at any speed
- A beautifully appointed cockpit that reflects the same meticulous attention lavished on every other area of the restoration
Additional Info
- A restoration you can trust—this frame-off rotisserie build was executed to a turn-key, investment-grade standard, with quality evident in the chassis, bodywork, brightwork, and interior alike
- Rarity that compounds at every level—start with a genuine 1960 Impala Convertible, add the factory 348 Tri-Power, then layer in factory air conditioning and the full suite of power options, and you are left with an exceptionally short list of surviving cars
- The pinnacle of 1960 full-size Chevrolet styling and options—precisely the kind of documented, top-of-the-line convertible that anchors a world-class collection

How old are the tires???
Hello Al, They are Coker radial white wall tires, I am not seeing a date code on the trires. I will try and get on a rack and see if the date is on the back side of the tires
Do you have any paperwork by the people who did the restoration???
In 1960 they did not stamp the VIN on the engine and transmission on the Impala. The Impala was restored prior to our ownership and we were told that the engine and transmission was part of the restoration.
We do not have have photo’s of the restoration process, Just the finished product

Was the engine and the transmission rebuilt and are the parts matching numbers to the car???
