Big-block power, triple two-barrel carburetors, and a wide-ratio four-speed manual transmission with 3.55 rear – is it the perfect 1960 recipe for fun or what?
“A beautiful mild custom with a brand new drivetrain and a killer stance” – that’s the catchphrase used to describe this seemingly pure Chevrolet Impala from the 1960s, but a close look at it quickly reveals that there’s nothing truly mild about it.
Chevrolet launched the first Impala back in 1958 as the top version of the Bel Air, but given the early success recorded by this new nameplate, it decided to promote it to a stand-alone series only a year later.
