The 1960 Chevrolet Impala was Chevrolet’s premier full-size offering, distinguished by its sleek, jet-age styling, wide stance, and triple round taillights that quickly became a brand signature. While retaining much of the dramatic flair of the 1959 redesign, the 1960 model presented a more refined and elegant look, blending sculpted side panels with subtle fins and a sweeping roofline.
This example takes the Impala’s presence to another level with a 427 cubic-inch V8, paired to a 4-speed automatic transmission. Originally, Chevrolet offered the Impala with six-cylinder and small-block V8 options, but the 427 big-block is a later upgrade, bringing the kind of raw muscle car performance that wasn’t factory-available in 1960. With just 1,000 miles on the drivetrain, this Impala offers near-new mechanical condition, ensuring both reliability and exhilarating performance. The 427 is renowned for its immense torque and horsepower, making this car far more than a stylish cruiser—it’s a powerhouse on wheels.
Inside, the Impala retains its period-correct luxury and comfort, with wide bench seating, bright chrome accents, and a panoramic dash layout. Its spacious interior, coupled with the effortless power delivery of the upgraded drivetrain, makes it equally suited for long-distance cruising or spirited driving.
For collectors and enthusiasts, this Impala represents the best of both worlds: authentic early-1960s Chevrolet design combined with the legendary muscle of a 427 big-block. With its low mileage and striking presence, it’s a standout example of a classic American full-size performance car.
