Vehicle Description
1961 Chevrolet Impala SS? 348 V-8 Bubble Top. DGC2963 VIN.
11837L182963. This is a full frame off restoration. It's a
beautiful car. I don't know about you but I have not seen many. The
man I bought it from feels that it is a very early SS used as a
promo car but he could not prove it. You see photos of when he
bought the Impala and you can see (not very well) you can see the
emblems and the fact that it was not taken care of very well leads
me to believe the owner would not have installed the emblems? He
bought it in 1990, hauled it home, and after 11 years finished the
restoration. He tried to keep it factory correct. Even has bias ply
tires. Interesting point the antenna is on the right front fender
from the factory not on the rear fender. When he was painting the
inner fenders he painted them gloss black instead of flat black he
liked the looks and I agree. He chromed the valve covers and the
air cleaner. He tried to keep the original carb but it was giving
him trouble so he installed an Edelbrock. The left rear fender
down, low at the back, had a bad spot so it was cut out and new
metal welded in. Power glide transmission. Power steering.
