I just bought this 1960 2dr 283 2bbl 2spd powerglide impala from Detriot which I drove up and picked up (from central TX). It is imaculate on the interior (like 98% showroom) condition. The body is about 85% with one thumb sized dent and one rust bubble behind the drs frt door. All chrome is in place and the only damage I can find is the minor rusty/hazing of the bumpers which I have yet to try to buff out. The car is all original (undercoated from the rust many years ago). No rust in the normal trunk or floorpan areas or much at all. Geez the am radio still works lol. I have found papers from car shows up north in the car from the late 80's. Been parked in garage since 92 (original owner died) Wife just stored it. I rotted tank and replaced all brake hydraulics and now the car runs and drives great. It is really nice. Just not my thing. (have 69 conv vette in $slow$ progress) in my garage. Was wondering if anyone had #1 a good idea of an asking price and/or a good place to advertise. While this is not my "dream" car I am sure it is someone's and I cannot bear to sell to someone who would cut it up for racing or for street candy. Thanks for any advise.
