Vehicle Description
When you're looking for that turn-key classic that's distinctive,
affordable, and can carry all your family and friends, this 1961
Chevrolet Impala sports sedan fits everything you want and much
more.
This pillarless hardtop sedan is a bit of a rarity. They made more
hardtop coupes than these, and that's because they were more
expensive than any of the comparable coupes or sedans in the lineup
- especially in range-topping Impala trim. That premium attitude is
seen on the professional application of the white paint that
retains a nice clearcoat gloss in the sunshine. We love all the
brightwork on these - from the wraparound chrome bumpers to the
full-length side spear with red accent. In the rear is one of the
most intricate forms ever put to sheetmetal. The dipping "V" is
something so daring you could only get it in '61. Plus, there are
some great new eye-catching additions like the blue dot headlights
and 14-inch wire wheels. The final step to making this a truly
distinguished classic are the iconic details like the gunsight
fender ornaments, dual aerials, and triple light pods in the
rear.
The pillarless hardtop has added appeal because people get a better
look at the interior. And it's really cool how the accent red on
the outside sets up the color inside. Even the white makes a
re-appearance as the accent color on everything from the doors to
the Hawaiian-themed seat covers. You can carry plenty of family and
friends in full-sized comfort, but in this Impala, you are the true
Big Kahuna. That's because there are upgrades just for you, like
the three-spoke wood-rimmed steering wheel, auxiliary gauge trio,
and B&M floor shifter.
The small block wasn't up to the legendary 350 displacement in
1961, but it fits in just as easily as the 283 did. The bright air
topper and valve covers add some nice flash, and below that is all
the right substance. You have an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor
and Summit performance intake. Plus, the Hedman headers add even
more power as well as extra growl to the dual exhaust. There's even
an aluminum radiator with electric fan to keep everything reliably
cool. Add in the other great driving features like the TH350
three-speed automatic transmission, upgraded front disc brakes, and
recently serviced front end with new tie rods, springs, and other
essential to keep this feeling tight on the road.
The right features and a great V8 sound make this a custom cruiser
with true go-anywhere appeal. It's rarity and price make it the
reason why you need to hurry for this deal. Call today!!!
