Description
UPDATE: Below it’s stated that there is a set of 5 spoke wheels included when Mr. Kimes bought the car. These wheels are not included! The only wheels we have are what’s on the car. Note: The following information is from the dealer website when it was sold to Mr. Kimes in 2021. Click on the link provided in the lot to the dealer website, which has more information and pictures. The information is from 3 years ago, and while reliable is not guaranteed. It is up to each potential bidder to verify the information. 409 ci V-8 ( engine code- T0327 QD ), Super T-10 4 Speed Transmission, Power Disc Brakes Front, Drum Brakes Rear, Power Steering, Auto Gauge Tach, American Racing 5 Spoke Wheels ( Original Factory Steel Wheels Included) We are very happy to present this 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, this car was purchased by the previous owner and once he received the car, he took it to a very reputable shop and had the car completely redone to the tune of just over $30,000. 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 install 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 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.
