1 9 6 0 Chevrolet Kings wood 9 Passenger Station Wagon Factory Original Big Block 348 V8 Automatic Classic!CALIFORNIA ORIGINAL BLACK PLATES!(Currently Now Running a 305 V8)Hello. your looking at a rare California built 1960 Chevrolet Kingswood 9 Passenger Station Wagon ordered as a 348 Big Block Kingswood. Not many were equipped this way which makes this a great candidate for a nice classic restoration. or just enjoy as a neat Patina '60 Wagon Rat Rod now. The car is a true California car and has spent most its entire life there and more recently in Colorado. The car overall is a very solid car as hard to find wagons go. but does have some areas we will state for the record. nbsp;to be as clear as possible in a fair overall description. A true Patina Paint car now after a 7 year storage in and outside. Main Body: The rust-outs are minimal and are some easy fixes as far as body work goes. The one main rust-out is in the rear seat drivers side lower floor pan. (place where you place your feet only). All other floors are nice. very solid and the floor braces and main and inner rockers are also very solid. The other areas of minor rust-out are in the corner curves of some the doors. The door seams are over all good mainly around the doors. but the common area of dirt pack in between the door curve lower areas are spotted with some pinhole rustout. Other than that. there is only spotted areas on the lower seam at the tailgate. but the gate is very good overall as shown. The good news is. main body at the wheel houses and inner wells at the gate. are all solid and nice. Front fenders have just minimal spots lower areas to none at all. headlight areas look good. The lower splash front and rear pans are good also. The lower and upper rear station wagon cargo area is great & solid. Roof Drip rails look good also and underneath the drip rear window area. The car has been repainted twice. once green. then midnight blue. over the original solid color cream-white body. Copper tri-color interior and trim that has been repainted brown in the trim areas. The main body paint in midnight blue is faded and patina'd a lot with many chips. dings. & scratches. There is some bondo in some areas as noted. nbsp;but the norm for a minor redo back in the 70's (est. ) when it was last painted. No bondo in rockers or fender tops or anything like that. Exterior Chrome: is micro pitty and ocean stained. Still ok driver quality all rechromeable good. Stainless Trim is all there. but for 4 Pieces! 1 one front fender headlight brow drivers upper. 1 one side long drivers rear quarter trim. 1 one drivers outer curved at taillight. 1 one 4" upper straight piece. Glass: is all great and original eze-eye including front windshield! side vent glass has some bubbles but no cracks. all window operate up anddown door open close good as well as tail gate. The power rear window operates good and the switches both work under dash and at rear window shelf. Heater works ok in the fan. Radio has antenna no speaker. Electrical: The car has a new wire loom harness from firewall out to the engine area and headlights. battery. etc . The car has new starter. coil. generator rebuilt correct. Headlights are high beam low beam ok. front parking lights good. nbsp;The rear tail lights have brake lights good. nbsp;blinkers need switch work at steering column. dome? Starter is good ignition is good fires every time. just one pump and touch of the key! Motor: 305 v8 Chevrolet automatic 4 barrel power steering & power brakes. All seem to operate good. A little pull right at times might need adjusted. Exhaust ends at mufflers. mid point body. Engine runs very well had oil changed ad fluids adjusted. Gas tank was taken out cleaned and redone as shown. Gauge is bad at dash? tranny shift ok also. we don't know the mileage on these components. As far as taking it out on the highway? NO. I would only drive locally until everything is checked over for safety after breaking her back in after a 7 year storage. last time on the road was 2002 in California. The CALIFORNIA Black Plates go with the car!Interior: recovered over original seats 'cept for third seat rear is still original with good foam still. Door panels have original panels and some covered over partially. headliner is good and custom done with a panel fit instead of web ring fit. Rubber: Looks good. but the tires are radials and 205 fronts & 215 rears very small. needs taller & wider size in my opinion. but has old school look 5 spoke chrome rims in ok shape some chrome fade and pits. Weather-striping is original and in ok condition as is. Overall: a very nice '60 Kingswood Wagon to do-up GET THE SURF BOARDS and have fun with now. or restore as you go Classic Wagon.
