Gateway Classic Cars is proud to present in our Dallas-Fort Worth
showroom this award winning 1961 Chevrolet Impala Bubble Top. This
has been a full body off restoration that was completed in 2017.
The original X member frame was boxed and powder coated. All four
wheels are hydro boost disc brakes. The rear end is a 4:11
posi-traction, hooked up to tubular control arms with 1 �" sway
bar. The front is coil over shocks with tubular control arms and 1
�" sway bar. The motor is a 348, completely rebuilt and balanced by
the premier engine builder, Dave Pluebell. This is hooked up to a
Tremac 5-speed with hydraulic clutch. It has six two-barrel
manifold for a very striking effect, but it runs only on the two
center carbs for smooth drivability. All the exhaust is handmade
with mandrel bends and black ceramic coat. The body is painted PPG
2-stage, which really shows off the laser-straight body. All the
aluminum trim, and the grill have been anodized. Both front and
rear bumpers are California one piece. The interior has been done
in the original red/white pattern, this includes the 1962 bucket
seats that replaced the original bench seat. In addition, there is
a glove box console with USB and a 12-volt outlet. Vintage air
conditioning blows ice cold. The wheels are 18" one-piece cast to
match the original style rally wheels. Check out the reflection
under the hood, it's finished out as smooth as the outside. The
same has been done to the underside trunk lid. You won't find a
nicer or more detailed 61 Bubble Top than this. For even more
