Feel free to ask me any questions about the car : barrybzzimmerli@spoiltbrats.net .
1960 CHEVROLET NOMAD 4 DOOR WAGON
BEAUTIFUL SATEEN SILVER CHEVY NOMAD. THIS IS A TRUE NOMAD, MOST PEOPLE THINK THE NOMAD'S
WERE ONLY MADE 1955-1957 IN 2 DOOR MODELS. THE PACKAGE OFFERED IMPALA TRIM INSIDE AND OUT AND A MUCH LOWER
PRODUCTION NUMBERS THAN THE PARKWOOD AND BROOKWOOD.
THE CAR IS IN AWESOME SHAPE AND HAS BEEN GARAGE KEPT SINCE PURCHASED NEW AT DON ALLEN CHEVROLET IN MIAMI
FLORIDA.THE CAR WAS BUILT BY STREET HEAT IN MELBOURNE FLORIDA. STREET HEAT PURCHASED THE CAR FROM THE SOUTH 40
COLLECTION. THEY REMOVED THE 283CI V8 ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION FOR A COMPLETE DETAIL. AFTER A COMPLETE INSPECTION,
RESEAL, AND DETAIL, THEY REINSTALLED THE ENGINE WITH A NEW 700R4 4 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. A NEW WATER PUMP,
FUEL PUMP, AND STARTER. SOME COMMON UPGRADES WERE MADE TO THE ENGINE NICELY CONCEALED WITHIN THE FACTORY
APPEARANCE. GM C3 CORVETTE LT1 4BBL INTAKE WAS SOURCED, PETRONIX ELECTRIC IGNITION, EDELBROCK CARB AND POWDER
COATED MANIFOLDS. IT RUNS AS GOOD AS IT LOOKS, AND WAS SPOTLESS INTERNALLY. THEY INSTALLED CUSTOM MANDREL DUAL
EXHAUST WHICH EXITS OUT THE REAR THROUGH STAINLESS TIPS. THE NOMAD CRUISES EXCELLENT WITH THE NEW 4 SPEED OVERDRIVE
700R4 TRANSMISSION AT 80 AND IS SMOOTH AND CLEAN. THE NOMAD HAS VINTAGE A/C THAT WORKS GREAT, THE CAR ALSO HAS
HEAT.
FOR THE STANCE AND SUSPENSION THEY WENT WITH AN AIR RIDE SUSPENSION USING AIRMAXX BAG PLATES, VIAIR 480C COMPRESSOR
AND ELECTRIC VALVES, WITH A 5 GALLON RESERVE TANK. IT IS NICELY CONCEALED AND PAINTED TO MATCH HIDDEN IN THE SPARE
TIRE WELL. THE SYSTEM OPERATES SEAMLLESSLY AND RIDES INCREDIBLE. AT THE TOUCH OF A SWITCH YOU CAN BE UP AT RIDE
HEIGHT OR PARK IT AND LAY IT ON THE GROUND. THE WHEELS ARE 20X10 REAR AND 18X8 FRON BILLET SPECIALTIES STILETTOS
WITH NEW TIRES. THE ENTIRE BRAKE SYSTEM WAS UPDATED WITH NEW C6 CORVETTE 13" POWER BRAKES IN FRONT AND NEW STOCK
REAR DRUMS.
THE INTERIOR IS FLAWLESS, THE RED HOUNDS TOOTH IS PERFECT TO COMPLIMENT THE SILVER EXTERIOR. THE GLASS IS ALL IN
AMAZING CONDITION! IT HAS THE RED PEPPERED CARPET WITH FLOOR MATS AND SAFETY BELTS UP FRONT. THE VEHICLE IS
OUTFITTED WITH THE RARE PADDED DASH THAT IS IN GREAT CONDITION. THE CAR HAS A HIDDEN BLUETOOTH STEREO AS WELL.
THE BODY IS IN VERY GOOD SHAPE AND WAS REPAINTED YEARS AGO, I AM NOT SURE SPECIFICALLY WHEN. THERE ARE SOME MINOR
FLAWS HERE AND THERE AND SOME VERY MINIMAL BUBBLING IN THE PAINT IN A FEW SPOTS. THE SATEEN SILVER EXTERIOR COLOR
IS THE ORIGINAL FACTORY COLOR OF THE CAR. THE CAR IS REALLY NICE OVERALL AND STARTS AND DRIVES GREAT! I WOULDN'T
HESITATE FOR A SECOND TO TAKE THIS VEHICLE ON A LONG DISTANCE DRIVE. THIS IS A VERY RARE NICE CLEAN CAR!
