SHE DRIVES OUT GREAT. EVERYTHING IS WORKING. IT DOES HAVE FRONT
DISC BRAKES THAT WORK GREAT WITH THAT ORIGINAL TYPE MASTER
CYLINDER. PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS WELCOME TO SEE OUR CARS IN PERSON OR
SEND A REP. BELOW IN SMALL PRINT IS WHAT LAST DEALER SAID ABOUT IT
ON HIS WEBSITE WHEN SOLD IN 2021 TO THE LAST OWNER WE BOUGHT IT
FROM. What a beautiful 61 Chevy Impala SS 409 Bubble Top. Without a
build sheet or any original documentation, it's impossible to prove
this to be a factory original 409. However, the car has been
restored and modified to be very, very close to the real thing. In
2010, when next to last owner bought the car, he took it to a very
reputable shop and had the car completely redone to the tune of
just over $30,000. We have the 10 page invoice and photos to show
the work done. Nothing was overlooked on this car. Everything was
done to 61 Impala specifications. One example of the quality work
done, was to remove the old power steering components, and gear
box, and installed a complete new power steering gear box, drag
link, PSCV, ram, brackets, hoses, etc, all done per the 1961 Impala
assembly manual. The shop also disassembled the Super T-10
transmission and completely rebuilt it with all correct parts. All
wiring harnesses were replaced, the shifter was repositioned to the
correct location. The invoice is extremely detailed. The paint and
interior were done before the owner purchased the car. The paint
still looks great. Chevrolet built approximately 491,000 Impalas in
1961. A mere 453 were Super Sports and only 142 of those were
equipped with the 409. This car was an instant collectible the year
it was built. That is what makes even the recreations worth so much
today. If you are able to find one of the 142 of these original
Impala SS 409s, you will probably pay in the 6 figures for it. This
409 QD coded block is from a 63 Chevy truck, casting 984422. These
blocks are getting harder to find. Quite a few of the truck blocks
are being used to recreate the original 409/425hp engines. NOTE:
