This is a complete original 1961 "Bubble Top" Impala Sport Coupe. It is a 283 4bbl carb powerglide car. Options include : Power steering, power brakes, 2spd wipers, tinted glass, padded dash, push button radio, and rear antenna. Im guessing its one of the most original 1961's left. Ive seen a lot of "basket cases" and a lot of fully restored 61's, but its hard to find an original example such as this. This sat for 20+ years inside a building before I acquired it I guess you could call it a "barn find". The body is original and it appears to have had some body work/ paint work done long ago as you can see a couple different colors that appear to be "spotted in" mainly on the front edge of the hood and front fenders. The floors are solid trunk pan and floor pan both. There is a floor brace that has some rust thru but its not an issue. The front fender brows will need some patching as will both rear 1/4 panels down low. My intention was to repair the rust and "spot" the paint, in those areas only. On the drivers side there is a dent below the gas door but it isn't anything terrible and it has a couple small dings in the hood but for the most part its a VERY nice car. It runs and drives. The transmission shifts very nicely and it goes down the highway just fine BUT I do believe the engine needs a rebuild. It's getting some "blowby" and blueish exhaust smoke as if oil was getting by the piston rings. All the glass is in good shape I believe the windshield has a small chip. The doors all shut nicely and the windows roll up and down. I cant stress how clean this car is, the door jambs are in great shape as is the weather stripping and the wiring looks in amazing condition. Things I have done to it include: all 4 tires are new, professionally rebuilt carb, new water pump, plugs, wires, cap and rotor, new master cylinder, rubber brake hoses and all 4 wheel cylinders, new carpet and package tray. I set the reserve at a price I think is reasonable. If it doesn't sell I plan on tearing into it and getting the engine rebuilt and do the rust repair, so please if you are interested do not wait until the auction ends to make me an offer. I do not plan on relisting it. If the reserve price is met the high bidder will need to send me a $1000 non-refundable deposit due within 48hrs of auctions end. Please if you have questions ask them, if you want more pics ask and I'll get them for you. On May-16-14 at 17:36:22 PDT, seller added the following information: Been asked a few questions about this about what all is and is not working. The in dash clock isn't working, the wipers are not functioning (not sure if tis the switch or the motor) and the radio made a few "crackles" and now, nothing I haven't looked into that either. But ALL gauges including speedometer/odometer work. All lights inside and out. Headlights, tail lights, brake lights, backup lights, turn signals (self cancelling), license plate light, dome lights, and gauge lights are all in perfect working condition. The power steering looks like it has been leaking for awhile but seems to work when reservoir is full. I will try to post a few more pics in the next day or so. Please email with anymore questions and if you'd like to see it in person that can be arranged as well. Thank you |

The story of the 2014 Chevrolet SS: "Luxury, power, refinement, handling"
Thu, 07 Mar 2013Not including the women and men who built it, the 2014 Chevrolet SS has only been seen in person by a piddling number of people - fewer humans than would fill the gymnasium at a high school volleyball game. Not including the men and women who built it, no one has driven it. Even so, it is already saddled with two controversies: the way it looks and the way it shifts.
First to that shifting. Did we love the last Americanized Holden, the awesomely sportsome Pontiac G8 GXP, and its six-speed manual? Of course. Do we wish the SS came with a six-speed manual? Of course. But we'd like a toboggan to come with a manual transmission. We'd put a manual transmission on a weasel if we could because we're just wired that way; if it moves, it should come with a stick and a clutch. Or at least the option.
Let's climb down off the ledge, though. We haven't driven the SS and we have no idea how good (or not) the automatic is. And the Hobson's Choice in transmissions when it comes to sport sedans like the BMW M5, Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG and Jaguar XFR-S and, oh yeah, cars-that-really-should-have-manuals like the Audi R8 and Nissan GT-R and Porsche 918 and every single Lamborghini and Ferrari, for instance, hasn't stopped us from enjoying what is clearly the gruesome, dual-clutched demise of Western automotive civilization. Because in spite of our ululations at the dying of the six-speed light, we understand.
