Chevrolet Impala 350 V8 1961
General description :
RARE HARDTOP IMPALA, STRONG 350 V8, TH350, FRONT DISCS, DAYTON WIRE WHEELS, NICE
When you're looking for that turn-key classic that's distinctive, affordable, and can carry all your family and friends, this 1961 Chevrolet Impala sports sedan fits everything you want and much more.
This pillarless hardtop sedan is a bit of a rarity. They made more hardtop coupes than these, and that's because they were more expensive than any of the comparable coupes or sedans in the lineup – especially in range-topping Impala trim. That premium attitude is seen on the professional application of the white paint that retains a nice clearcoat gloss in the sunshine. We love all the brightwork on these – from the wraparound chrome bumpers to the full-length side spear with red accent. In the rear is one of the most intricate forms ever put to sheetmetal. The dipping "V" is something so daring you could only get it in '61. Plus, there are some great new eye-catching additions like the blue dot headlights and 14-inch wire wheels. The final step to making this a truly distinguished classic are the iconic details like the gunsight fender ornaments, dual aerials, and triple light pods in the rear.
The pillarless hardtop has added appeal because people get a better look at the interior. And it's really cool how the accent red on the outside sets up the color inside. Even the white makes a re-appearance as the accent color on everything from the doors to the Hawaiian-themed seat covers. You can carry plenty of family and friends in full-sized comfort, but in this Impala, you are the true Big Kahuna. That's because there are upgrades just for you, like the three-spoke wood-rimmed steering wheel, auxiliary gauge trio, and B&M floor shifter.
The small block wasn't up to the legendary 350 displacement in 1961, but it fits in just as easily as the 283 did. The bright air topper and valve covers add some nice flash, and below that is all the right substance. You have an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor and Summit performance intake. Plus, the Hedman headers add even more power as well as extra growl to the dual exhaust. There's even an aluminum radiator with electric fan to keep everything reliably cool. Add in the other great driving features like the TH350 three-speed automatic transmission, upgraded front disc brakes, and recently serviced front end with new tie rods, springs, and other essential to keep this feeling tight on the road.
The right features and a great V8 sound make this a custom cruiser with true go-anywhere appeal. It's rarity and price make it the reason why you need to hurry for this deal. Call today!!!

About Chevrolet
Chevrolet aka Chevy, founded in 1911 by Louis Chevrolet and William C. Durant is the best selling and biggest brand by General Motors -mainly due to low pricing. No wonder Chevy the "working man's car" has become such an iconic part of Americana in films and pop-culture.
When talking about Chevy one must not ignore Chevrolet small-block V8 the world's most produced engine that has been in production since 1955 and still going strong.
Surprisingly, "America's only sports car" Corvette was introduced under Chevrolet brand rather than its own. To us the most memorable Corvette has to be The second generation (C2) Corvette, Sting Ray.
To compete with VW Beatle Chevrolet introduced Corvair a compact automobile built in 1960–1969 It was the only American designed, mass-produced passenger car to feature a rear-mounted air-cooled engine. Corvair handling was deemed notoriously bad mainly due to Ralph Nader's Unsafe at Any Speed. Although, any handling issues were soon solved the reputation did stick.
With Pony / Muscle car mania taking over the Americans, following the introduction of Ford Mustang, Chevrolet came up with one of its most famous models Camaro. During the first year alone they managed to sell 220,906 Camaros.
