Chassis No. 01837B187548

This 1960 Chevrolet Impala Sport Coupe Restomod, executed by Goolsby Customs for noted hotrod collector George Poteet, represents countless hours of expert labor and an uncompromising commitment to quality. Every component has been meticulously selected, modified, or fabricated to create a cohesive blend of 1960's American design and modern performance.

The build's foundation is a state-of-the-art Rideline chassis from Roadster Shop, featuring fully independent front and rear suspension. This advanced setup includes rear ride-adjust suspension, Energy Suspension bushings, and Corvette C5 brakes for both optimal roadholding and ride quality. Powering this Impala is a Pace Performance 378 cu-in LS3 V8 crate engine, producing 495 horsepower. The engine bay is a dizzying ensemble of high-performance components, featuring a Lokar Performance LS Classic Series “Tri-Power” intake setup, Ultimate Headers exhaust headers, and a custom 2.5 inch stainless steel exhaust system with MagnaFlow mufflers. Each component has been carefully integrated, resulting in a burbling V8 exhaust note that commands attention and a factory-fresh presentation under the hood. The drivetrain is completed by a Bowler Performance 4L65-E four-speed automatic transmission, chosen for its robust construction and ability to handle the LS3's substantial output.

The exterior is resplendent in BASF London Grey Metallic paint, which nicely accentuates the classic lines of the Sport Coupe. The quality of the paintwork is matched by the precision fit of the brightwork and Steele Rubber weather stripping, ensuring perfect panel gaps and seals throughout the exterior. The Impala's stance is perfected by a set of custom, one-off 17 inch Billet Specialties wheels. Inside, the interior showcases the same level of craftsmanship and attention to detail. M&M Hotrod Interiors red leather upholstery, accented with 1963 Impala cloth inserts, is meticulously stitched and fitted, remaining faithful to the original interior design while adding modern comforts. The Vintage Air heating and air conditioning system is seamlessly incorporated, as are the Dakota Digital RTX Series gauges and Kicker audio system with Bluetooth connectivity.

The build reflects a comprehensive approach to quality and performance. The Edelbrock fuel management system, Ricks Hotrod Tanks stainless steel fuel tank, C&R Racing radiator with a brushless fan, XS Power battery, and American Autowire wiring harness all work together to ensure modern levels of reliability and performance. The result is not just a show car, but a testament to what's possible when skilled craftsmen bestow an ultra-powerful drivetrain and modern amenities to a beloved classic. This rotisserie restoration offers an opportunity to acquire the ultimate evolution of 1960s American muscle that stands at the very peak of restomod craftsmanship.
