In this video, we show what it took for Manns Restoration to get their 1960 Chevrolet Impala to SEMA. This car had been sitting in a field for years, rotting into the ground. No everyone would choose to restore a car in such rough condition, but this one had great sentimental value to it's owner. As a young man, he worked hard bailing hay and saved up the cash to purchase this car. He enjoyed the car for many years, before he finally quit driving it. His dream was to make it beautiful again and to get to drive it one last time. The crew at Manns really poured their hearts into this one and performed a true miracle, by bringing the Impala back to life. They were invited to show their car at SEMA 2017, in the Sherwin-Williams Automotive Finishes booth. The unveiling went well and the car was very well received. We hope you enjoy this look at the build in progress, as well as the finished product. They really did a wonderful job. We'll have a full test drive video coming up soon as well, so you can be watching for that one. Thanks for taking a look, we appreciate it!
Manns Restoration would like to extend special thanks to their friends at Sherwin-Williams Automotive Finishes, Ogden Chrome, Billet Specialties, Autotrend, and the Roadster Shop.

Yep, artist at work to build a masterpiece... Much joy here in this...
Oh, and for a Craftsman this is the joy in life along with family...
Seeing young guys doing the work is great! There is hope for the future
I'm right. Cars are like toys for adults. And this toy is beautiful.
WOW. ! IF THAT CAR COULD TALK...... " THANKYOU EVERYONE, I FEEL BEAUTIFUL ".
As someone who has done a lot of bodywork, I can appreciate all of the effort that went into this car. Long flat panels but also intricate curves, especially under the fins. A real work of art!
Older video, this is one of the most beautiful 1960 IMPALA'S I've seen, the restoration on this is perfect, Manns and crew deserve a Reward on this build, hands down a true CLASSIC, words cannot describe how nice this car is, the 60 IMPALA, one beautiful design by Chevrolet, starting from 1955 to 1970 Chevrolet built some of their best body styles, 1958 being the first IMPALA, THANKS to Ramblin Around for showing this 60 IMPALA and Congratulations to Manns Restoration for a Excellent build on a CLASSIC 1960 IMPALA ❤.
I'm glad you like it. We appreciate you taking a look!
I don’t know why.. but I began to cry watching this video.. and I swelled up with tears of pride knowing that you guys and so many unsung hero’s of America are reminding me / us what we are and who we are… amazing beauty of craftsmanship on this stunning American masterpiece of American industrial art!!!!! Thank you kindly
I'm glad you found it that moving, we really appreciate you watching!
1960 Chevrolet Impala my favorite car ever since I seen my first one in 1967 I was hooked........
They did a VERY good job restoring that '60 Chevy. It's a thing of TRUE beauty.
A WHOLE LOT OF LOVE WENT INTO THAT CAR , IT'S BEAUTIFUL I COULD NEVER LET IT GO . I BUILT A 69 SUPERBEE , AS MUCH TIME MY HANDS SPENT ON THAT CAR . IT'S ALWAYS A BIG PART OF ME . CONGRATS GUYS BIG LOVE .
I always say when Americans get together to build nothing but the best there are no stopping them my respect goes to them God Bless America🇵🇷🇺🇲👍🙏
SEMA restoration is awesome. They brought this 1960 Impala from ashes to glory and excellence. Congratulations!
This brings back great memories for me. My mother had a 1960 2 door Chevrolet Impala and she taught me how to drive in that car. 348 motor and 3 speed stick shift on the floor.
My uncle owned a red 1960 Impala when I was a little kid. This brought back some great memories.
I am the 3rd owner of my 60 Impala suntan copper, the family that I purchased it from bought it in 1970 from a local school teacher, they had many memories in it as does me and my family I would never think of selling until I die and it moves on, these cars were very prone to rust and if they were not garaged the whole time like Mine it’s hard to get a good example these days, you guys did an incredible job restoring this beautiful car! From another good example owner!
All these guys enjoying what they doing. The final result... a master piece.
Thanks for taking a look Eddy!
My uncle Artie bought a black '60 Impala brand new. I was five years old and I remember he gave my brother and me a dime each to clean his already clean rear roll-down windows. I think my earliest memory. His was black with red interior and I've been in love with the '60 Impala ever since.
A lyrical presentation of the restoration process; as beautiful visually and musically as the extraordinary result.
Gorgeous '60! Awesome craftsmanship!!!
Glad you like it, thanks for watching!
Absolutely gorgeous! When I was young my Uncle John bought nothing but Impalas! Earliest I remember was the '59 he had n he had many more up into the '70s! Man, I wish I could go back n get me one of those!!! Awesome job Manns Restoration!!!❤😎👍
Do not even think "Absolutely amazing" does it justice.
Dedication, hard work, and attention to detail is how amazing cars like this are saved. Thanks again.
Thank you for watching, we appreciate it!
The 1960 impala was one of my favorites.
I recall as a teen just standing behind my Uncle's 1960 red Biscayne/Impala? starring down the lines of the "wing" toward the side, front, for time upon end. It was so cool, just mesmerizing! A stock 6 cylinder. Nonetheless... he treated it as if it were made of "Solid Red Gold!"
Nothing in comparison to this show car, or even some of my cars later. However, still to this day: I would welcome, not trade that time: just starring down the lines of that 1960 Chevrolet.! Thank you, J
Everything about it is perfect, I love the color.
Glad you like it, thanks for watching!
Love the crews doing the job so passionately with great dedication and love.what a great moving sculpture that impala is....
Watching this brings a tear to my eye! When I was a boy, at 3 years young! My Dad! God Rest His Soul! bought a brand new 1960 Chevy Impala, White, Light Blue Interior, 283 ci. The curves on that car was like a Center Fold Model! The road trips, sleeping in the back window, the bluegrass music coming out the speaker in the middle of the seat! Mom & Dad setting in the front seat, and the whole back seat was mine! THIS CAR BRINGS BACK SOME FOND MEMORIES! THE MUSIC YOU HAVE CHOSEN IS PERFECT!!!,,,,, THANK YOU!!
A LOT of work went into rescuing this beautiful piece of automotive history obviously and thank you so much for salvaging this car and for posting! Excellent job guys.
My Dad had a 60,turquoise and white 2dr hard top Impala. I learned to drive in that car, loved it. I was always washing and waxing it, a beautiful car. He went to a 63 Cadillac which also was nice but my heart will always with the Chevy.
Been Around Cars all my life. Body Shops, Car Dealer Ships, Top Shops Used Car Sales Business and I have to say you guys are the Best. I Hope this video will Do you guys a Solid Boost to your business. Very Well Done.
They Sure Did Put a lot of work into this Car 🚗. It Came out Beautiful 😍 👌.
Wow. That is one beautiful car!
Absolutely beautiful car.
IT'S LIKE BRINGING AN OLD FRIEND BACK TO LIFE, GREAT JOB!! I HAD A 1964 IMPALA RAG TOP, WAS MY FIRST CAR. LOVED THAT LITTLE 283 V-8!!! ☘️🤓
348 never seen a 283 with valve covers like that.
That is the finest classic Chevrolet I have seen. The color, the hand built craftsmanship, The "tri-power" fuel injection, interior, wheels, all just perfect. Great work.
I'm 73 and the first car I ever owned was a 1960 Impala, Jet black with a red interior. It was 3 years old when I bought it and it had 20 thousand miles on it. It was the best looking car I ever owned. This is the first one I've seen restored and it's a master piece. It brought tears to my eyes. If I was a rich man I'd give whatever price it took to do what this car owner did for the most beautiful Chevy ever made.
Thank you Warren, we're sure glad you like it. I'll bet yours did look really great with that color combo. Thanks for watching, we appreciate it!
A friend of mine had a white 1960 Impala 2 door with a 283 and the old turboglides, God what a pretty car, and me to not be out done I went out and got a 62 Impala two door with a 283 and the old castiron powerguild Transmission. Oh to be back in 1966 again.
I wish your bank account was at the same level as your passion my friend...At least you had one.I grew up in South Africa and live in Berlin now.They don`t sell them there..
My daddy had a 1960 Impala (bubbletop, I think). It was black with red accents/interior....a VERY sporty, fast car! I was born in 1957, but I remember this car...and we have old home movies of it, too. This video brought tears to my eyes, too!
Thank you Americans for building such amazing and beautiful cars. Greetings from Germany.
A magnificent work of art!
Best looking 60 Chevy I’ve ever seen. Probably my favorite restoration of any kind!
Seams impossible to make anything this large perfect, but this car is perfect.
Bob Seger said it Best! In the Backseat of my 60 Chevy. Working on those Night Moves! 🇺🇸👍🏁
Absolutely beautiful, my uncle had a 1960 Impala
, it was black with a red interior. I was 8 years old, and it has been my favorite car since.
That there is a Beauty!! So much attention to detail. Incredible man well done.
there is always a story behind the legendary car 👍
Really a great watch, love this video and car. A+ gentlemen.
Thank you Sam, glad you liked it!
samspace81 6 . Yt? Nu hi
@@leematthews5296 Hi! :)
Ihave one like this and this is the best muscle car in terms of comfort and power.. I like the performance. You made a perfect car and i love what you made in this. More power to all of you.
Absolutely beautiful! Great video capturing the love of this art.
With all my respect, that was not a *restoration* but a *creation*
I mean, there is a lot of love in every inch and these guys made it possible... Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for watching, we appreciate it!
As a restoration shop owner, I very much enjoyed seeing all of the video footage of the build along with the great collection of before and after photos. Great job guys, truly beautiful.
Thanks for watching, we appreciate it!
Wow you all done amazing job on this car I just love it beautiful amazing colour it was good to see you all doing this amazing car up thanks friends have a very nice day
Those are men at work! What a beautiful piece of rolling art!
One of the best Impalas made ...The body is so straight and smooth ..The before and after pictures are awesome ..Thanks for all the video and pictures
Thank you Jim, I appreciate the kind words!
Mann’s you guys did one heck of a Restoration!!! Unbelievable!!
Wow this owner must be the happiest man in the world....fantastic job wow...
Thank you Martin, we appreciate the kind words.
The details that go into restoring a classic like this is really something to see. Awesome job!
The muscle cars of 1950s and 60 are real treasures. In India I have seen a few such cars like Impala, Plymouth Savoy, Studebaker Commander and President, Dodge Kingsway etc.
Best looking car ever brilliant good on you guys great show thank you very much
That is absolutely beautiful. And you didn't suck the life out of the original car,interior or drivetrain. Big fan of this kind of vision and workmanship.
An incredible make-over. But, that's just my issue with it. It'ended up as a 'resto-mod', rather than being faithful to the original. Yes, it's gorgeous - but it's NOT the car the way it was made. I would have rather seen a redone motor and drive-train more faithful to the original. The new separate front seats and console is amazing, but not the way the car was made. The new wheels are terrific - but perhaps replicating the original steel wheels and 'poverty' caps would have been more authentic? I don't know. If they set out to do a 'restoration', this certainly isn't it. I don't mean to pour water on the party, folks. I can certainly acknowledge that the Mann's Restoration crew did an amazing job, though.
I love that car its perfect your work guys has gone beyond.
Loved the TEAM WORK
Beautiful
Thanks for watching, we appreciate it!
Just an OLD Timer who enjoys Chevrolets and all GM Car. Work at a GMPlant!😎

@@RamblinAround what is the car worth ..
Love the 1960 Impala, it's my dream car in a maroon/burgundy color. Amazing work on an amazing car.
Beautiful car and story behind it !
They really did an amazing job with it. It's pretty cool that they were able to give him his car back, but even better. Thanks for taking a look my friend, I appreciate it!
Man, that's *BEAUTIFUL!* : )
This is a great outcome of my favorite chevy Impala. I love them all but the 60 is my favorite! well done folks, may it never be in a field again!
Absolutely fantastic restoration
You Americans new how to design cars back then. Beautiful restoration, beautiful designed car.
Thank you very much, we're glad you like it!
Unbelieveable. Outstanding. Love everything they did.
You guys should definitely have your own show, I'd watch it.
I believe I was brought home from the hospital in a brand new 1960 Chevy Bel Aire so these cars mean a lot to me. I love them.
Thanks Jim, we appreciate you watching!
Excellent!! What craftsmanship. Most can only dream of owning such a masterpiece. Well done
WOW! What an awesome car! I’m older than that Impala, love cars and love car programs.....even cheesy west coast ones that put monitors in every nook and cranny. But you guys at Manns are on a totally higher level. Take a bow! That’s one of the best resto’s I’ve seen in a looooong time. Fantastic job!
Thank you very much, we appreciate you watching!
What an absolute beauty. Love the effort in the conversion super nice car

It turned out absolutely stunning
Great job presented on this car.
True Craftsmanship! Car and Video! Wow!
Thank you for watching, we appreciate it!
Wow this is from the same year as my 1960 coke machine restoration series im doing! Nice video!
probably the best production I've ever seen of a ground up rebuild. The music was appropriate the video captured the sincerity and the passion these people have to the trades they know how to do so well. I could not have done a better job myself. It also happens to be my grandpa's car. I'm 57 but when I was five my grandpa had that car and I loved it. Thank you for posting and the love that shows in your work
Thank you very much, we're glad you liked it!
Excellent Job.....world class restorers....thanks for the video....I miss my old 60 now!
Thanks for watching Ken, we appreciate it!
Best dash of all time! What a beauty.
are you with me
Beautiful car, Great job!!!
You can tell the the guy who is sanding the roof loves the car. He gives the car a drink of water to keeps it from hydrating. That is true love. Awesome job and beautiful car.
Looks like these dudes did this for free they were passionate during the build...WoW.....
@Tractor Tipping Agreed...I Own 1....✌🏽
Not everything is about "$$$$$"
