HELLO TO ALL 1960 CHEVROLET IMPALA CONVERTIBLE LOVERS, CHEVROLET COLLECTORS, MUSEUM CURATORS...,

THE 1960 CHEVROLET IMPALA CONVERTIBLE YOUR VIEWING IS A EARLY KNOWN PRODUCTION 1960 CHEVROLET IMPALA CONVERTIBLE. THIS CAR WAS LEFT IN ALL ORIGINAL UNRESTORED CONDITION FOR 55+ YEARS IN A BARN. THIS CAR IS BODY NUMBER # 367 AND THE 11,880th PASSENGER CAR PRODUCED (SEE VIN #) AT THE ST LOUIS, MO. PLANT.

DOCUMENTED AS ONE OF THE EARLIEST '60 CONVERTIBLES. THIS IS NOT HYPE, OR A FAKE OVERSTATEMENT, OR A PRESSURE HYPE SALE, THIS CAR HAS UNIQUE HISTORY AND IS A EARLY PRODUCTION '60 CONVERTIBLE.

PLEASE JUST EXAMINE THIS CAR AND LET ALL THE DETAILED PHOTOS SPEAK AND SHOW FOR THEMSELVES, TO DOCUMENT THIS AMAZING "TIME CAPSULE" AS IT WAS BUILT AUTOMOBILE. THEY ONLY COME THIS WAY ONCE IN A LIFETIME UN MOLESTED. YES, THE CAR HAS SAT IN UNFAVORBLE SETTINGS AND HAS BEEN ALLOWED TO RUST, WAY MORE THAN IT SHOULD HAVE...BUT LISTEN TO THE WHOLE STORY BELOW...

THE STORY GOES LIKE THIS:

MR. ORVAL FAUBUS WAS THE GOVERNOR OF ARKANSAS IN 1955 AND HE PURCHASED THIS CAR NEW IN HOTSPRINGS, ARKANSAS IN EARLY 1960. HE THEN OWNED THE CAR UNTILL 1963 AND TRADED IT BACK IN THE A. D. SHORT MOTORS CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP WHERE THE SECOND OWNER, MS. PHYLLIS LOOPER BOUGHT THE CAR FROM A. D. SHORT MOTORS CHEVROLET IN HOTSPRINGS, AK. ON JULY 12TH, 1963 FOR A $1,304.88 LIEN. PAID OFF ON JUNE 8TH 1965. THE TITLE IS STILL THAT AK. TITLE FROM 1963, FREE AND CLEAR.

SO IF YOU WANT A ORIGINAL, UNRESTORED 1960 IMPALA CONVERTIBLE WITH SOME COOL HISTORIC HISTORY, THIS MIGHT BE THE ONE...

MR. ORVAL FAUBUS WAS GOVERNOR IN AK. FROM 1955-1967. HE ALSO RAN FOR PRESIDENT IN 1963 (SEE PICTURES) ALONG WITH JOHN F. KENNEDY AND LYNDON JOHNSON THAT THEN THEY WON THE TICKET AND BEAT HIM OUT. HE WAS ON THE COVER OF TIME MAGIZINE ALSO IN 1957) SEE PICTURE) HE USED THIS CHEVROLET CONVERTIBLE IN MANY PARADES AND HAD DIGNTARIES RIDE IN THIS CAR OVER THE 3 YEARS HE OWNED IT. GOVERNORS AND STATESMEN SAT IN THIS '60 CHEVROLET. SEE PICTURES & BUTTONS AND THE TIME MAGIZINE COVER! RUMORS HAVE IT THAT JOHN F. KENNEDY, LYNDON B. JOHNSON, GEORGE WALLACE, JESSE JACKSON TO NAME A FEW RODE IN THIS CAR, AS HE ENTERTAINED IN HIS HUGE "HISTORIC BUILT" HOME THAT IS A ARKANSAS LANDMARK NOW.

NOW ON THE CAR, TO START, PLEASE STOP RIGHT HERE, YES I KNOW... THIS '60 CONVERTIBLE IS NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART, AS IT NEEDS FULL RESTORATION, OR MAKE A PATINA CLASSIC DRIVER! IT IS A FACTORY ORIGINAL CAR, IT HAS PATINA PAINT AREAS EVERYWHERE, MANY DENT DAMAGE RE-PAINTS FROM MINOR BUMPS AND BRUISES BUT IT SURVIVED WITHJ NO MAJOR ACCIDENTS. THE FRAME IS SOLID AND THE CONVERTIBLE TUB AND WHEEL HOUSES ARE SOILD AND IT IS VERY SAVEABLE DUE TO LOW MILES DRIVEN, SAVING THE CRITICAL AREAS!.

AFTER MS LOOPER DIED,THE STORIES WERE SOON FADED AND NOW DUE TO SITTING OUTSIDE, (AS HER DAUGTERS NEEDED THE GARAGE SPACE,) IT WAS PULLED OUTSIDE FOGOTTON AND POORLY COVERED. WEATHER AND HUMIDITY AND BEING RAINED ON FOR 55 YEARS+.

SO NOW YES IT NEEDS ALL THE MAIN FLOORS AND BRACES, ROCKERS, AND TRUNK FLOORS, BUT GOOD NEWS THAT THEY ARE ALL NOW REPRODUCED. YES, IT NEEDS IT ALL, THIS WILL BE A MAJOR RESTORATION. BUT IT IS A CONVERTIBLE WITH HISTORY....!

SO IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A EASY RESTORED "PERFECT FLAWLESS CHEVY, THIS MIGHT NOT BE YOUR CAR!
