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.
