Way Cool 60 Impala on eBay - 4K miles

[Verne_Frantz]

Bill,
That's not just an extra bit of detailing under the hood, That's totally restored from the firewall forward.

[Charley Lillard]

I live about 20 miles from where that car was sold new. Too bad they touched under the hood.

[Late BrakeU2]

Judging from those license plates,either the car and or the tags were stolen in 1963-a beauty though.

[Xplantdad]

Yeah...the license plates don't match the registration or the cool key fobs...

[Z-11 396]

The car look's fantastic, changes, and all, New owner can get it back to his liken, as many of us have done, and will do to the cars we have now, or in the future. Just wish mine had been in that good of shape to ''Start'' with....Kasey...

Note the 1967 registration, still in the original owner's name, with the 'AUR710' plate number on it. There is probably some reasonable explanation why the original yellow with black numbers plates would have been replaced with the newer black with yellow numbers plates

You guys are a tough crowd

I am pretty sure that all cars with yellow CA '56-'63 plates had to convert to the new black '63 CA plates when they were introduced. In '70 when the new blue plates came out that requirement was dropped.

So, in 1963 this car would have given up its original yellow plates for black plates.

Verne,,,,,I was being the kind, compassionate Bill S!!!! I actually dreamed about this car last night. Dreamt I made it into a 4spd, 350hp/tri-power car. Why not, its already been messed with, right????............Bill S

P.S.-----Verne, I was actually wondering about the battery cables. Correct or not,,,you would be the guy to ask.

[Verne_Frantz]

Bill,
I noticed the battery cables too, but didn't comment on them. They are wrong. They should be spring-rings. The negative is brown, which would be correct, and no over the counter replacements are brown, so I'd guess the originals have had new clamps put on them. With all of the rest of the "restoration" that's been done under the hood, you'd think they (he) would have just stepped up for a set of repro cables with the correct ends.
Sure is a nice looking car though...

Verne
PS: Also note the tailpipe tips...
