Here is an opportunity for you to own a true classic of the early 1960’s. This beautiful 1961 Impala hardtop (AKA Bubble Top) comes with the factory A/C, power steering, and power brakes.
The Impala was repainted in the original Twilight Turquoise metallic using a 2-stage urethane. You can see by the photos the restoration included painting the floor pans and gas tank in the original ‘red oxide’ color while retaining a gloss black finish on the frame and suspension pieces. All body panels appear to be original with little to no bodywork.
The power comes from the original 283 c.i. , 230 h.p.motor (rebuilt) with the original Rochester 4-barrel carb, and dual exhaust. The original 2 speed Power glide was replaced with a 1960’s vintage Turbo 350 automatic. Rear differential gearing is the original open 3.08:1. All of the suspension parts were replaced, new brakes and hardware, and new exhaust.
The interior seats were re-upholstered in the original pattern and color as well as the carpeting was replaced. The dash pad and door panels are original items. All the gauges function normally and even the AM radio works. Prior owner added an oil pressure gauge which is in the glove box. All the interior chrome is in excellent condition.
