Vehicle Description
Here is another hand selected, rare performer brought to you by
Basil classics and meeting Joe Basil's tradition of fine
automobiles since 1951.
Presented here by Basil classics is this 1961 Chevrolet Impala
"bubble top" which is badged as an SS and equipped with a 409 CI
engine that is topped with two four barrel carburetors and backed
by a four speed transmission.
In 1958, Chevrolet introduced the "W block" 348 CI engine in their
full size line. With public increased interest in performance and
horse power, Chevrolet introduced the 409 CI engine in 1961, also a
"W" block version.
Many of us remember the Beach Boys song "409" which included the
line " my four speed dual quad positraction 409" right? Well, this
1961 Impala is equipped exactly as that iconic song describes.
The engine is a 409ci block topped with two four barrel carburetors
and backed up by a four speed transmission, a positraction rear end
and power brakes to bring it all to a stop. Additionally, this
Impala has previously had a frame off restoration of a solid
original body which continues to present itself as in nearly new
condition.
The factory correct blue paint and matching blue cloth interior
draw your immediate attention and cause you to appreciate the
stunning quality of this restoration inside and out. The poverty
hub caps and black wall tires add to the overall muscle image this
car exudes, as do the factory tach and factory floor mounted four
speed shifter. Stop in and see this rare beauty for yourself, we
assure you it's well worth the trip
