Vehicle Description
Welcome to StreetDreamsTexas as we celebrate our 20th year in the
classic and muscle car business. The Chevrolet Impala has been
produced in many shapes and sizes and a variety of performance
levels during the course of seven decades and ten generations. Not
a single one, however, looks better than a well done 1961
'bubbletop'. The delicate greenhouse on these cars is accentuated
by the slim 'C' pillars and large rear window, a design that
remains beautiful and contemporary to this day. This stunning 1961
Impala Sport Coupe illustrates these design cues perfectly. The
laser straight body looks slightly sinister in its correct Tuxedo
Black (900A) paint, which contrasts nicely with the correct red and
white (873) interior. Beneath the expansive hood rests a powerful
yet smooth Chevy big block (2600 miles since restoration) that's
been fortified with a Holley carburetor, an Edelbrock Torker II
aluminum intake manifold, very nice headers, and HEI. Notice how
the later engine is dressed to resemble a 409 (displacement is very
close- 402+ .030 overbore= about 408 ci). Classy. Additional
features include power steering, power front disc brakes, Vintage
Air A/C(installed since video), a smooth-shifting Muncie 4-speed
manual transmission, tubular A-arms, and auxiliary gauges. This is
a California built car (L) with one piece front and rear bumpers,
no rust, and all-original pans. The grille, headlight bezels, rear
bumper guards, and three of the four front/rear valences are all
NOS. An included copy of the February 2016 issue of 'Chevy
Classics' magazine notes that the car has won several Super Chevy
shows and Super Nationals in Albuquerque, NM and scored 986 points,
Platinum Award, Modified Restored, at the 38th International
Convention in Norman, OK. This car is straight, clean, and
impressive from front to back, top to bottom. A truly beautiful
automobile that anyone would be proud to own. Street Dreams
