The '59 and '60 Bel Air and Impala are two of my most favorite classics. Just love the wings on the rear-end
If I were buying, I would find out as much as I could about the restoration. Who did the work. Was it a frame off restore. Where did the car originate from. Does it have a clean title and not a salvage title.
With classic cars you always worry about how much bondo and filler are in the body. Take a real close look around the trunk, bottom edge of the doors and quarter panels and also where the windshield meets the body.
No miles are listed for the engine. I'd find out how old it is and where did it come from. Hopefully, not a junk yard.
Personally, I think that price is a little steep. If the car is indeed as good as the photos show, a price between $50 and $60K would be more reasonable. That asking price is way above the high end for a '60 Impala 2dr coupe. Are you willing to pay more for a restored '60 Impala than a brand new ZL1 1LE? I don't care how great the restore is, classic cars are never trouble free.
