1960 Chevy Impala Wagon Nomad
This nomad has gone through an extensive refit, updating the powertrain with a new 350 crate motor, 200-4R 4 speed trans conversion (from 3 speed on column), Air suspension overhaul with new Accuair eLevel management, new Ridetech rear 4 link, new Currie rear end and gearing with posi, front and rear 14" Wilwood Disc Brakes, and other misc repairs. Turned out to be a very plush cruiser.
