There are only a select few cars that have been cool from the moment they were built, and the 1961 Impala Bubble Top is one of them. Texas Classic Cars of Dallas is very proud to present one of a kind Impala SS Bubble Top. It's a restored ride packing a 409ci block under its hood and making it a lot more than just a good looking body design.

The current owner of this awesome Impala purchased it and found that it needed a little refreshing. He took it to Carr's Corvettes and Customs, and had the car completely gone over. We have a notebook with detailed photos and invoices of every item.

There is for sure not many of these fine cars around. Maybe you have seen one with the same exterior, but it's what's under the hood that counts. Making this Impala stand out from the others is the Dual Quad Core 409 V engine producing 425 HP.

The initial restoration had been done before it's purchase . It was items that were safety related and things like a steering box rebuild and new wiring harness that were done by Carr's.

The red paint has a depth and clarity that is sometimes lacking on red cars, it shows off the long spears and with the contrasting chrome that make this car look about a mile long. Bumpers are beyond beautiful, re-chromed and all six tail lights are in magnificent conditions.

The Mickey Thompson tires are the perfect combination on a great looking car, the sizes are F70/15 front and G60/15 rear. For the purist, the origianl hubcaps and fender skirts are included with the car.

This is a really incredible 61. This car is ready to enjoy. Carr's did everything that needed to be done to make this car ready to just turn the key and go. There are receipts totaling just over $30,000.to many to list, so call with any questions.

On the interior, the instrument cluster was removed to install the new gauges, headlight switch and turn signals. All new wiring harness was installed.

Bright red is the smart choice in this car, and a fully restored interior in this one looks beyond amazing. The two tone white and red seat covers look just like its originals.

Matching its seats, the two toned steering wheel is a great accent. The original speedometer is still in place. Also a Hurst ball shifter is in place for shifting through the 4-speed trasmission.

Every nut, bolt or install kit was used when bringing this beauty back to original. There is simply too much to list on what has already been completed thus far.

All the gauges are working properly, the radio was deleted as in most big block cars.

The engine is bolted to a T-10 4-speed transmission and connects out back to a 3.23:1 posi-trac rear end. This car is truly a thing of beauty and performance.

For starters on what has already been replaced, there is a whole binder full of invoices that track every step along the way so far. The work has been performed by Carr's Corvettes & customs. The transmission has been disassembled and checked over for anything that needed repair and put back together. There is R&R valve cover with premium 409 gaskets. R&R distributor and plugs were also installed. Even a Zoom 10.4" HP street clutch was installed.

The block is stamped on the front with T0327 QD. We don't believe it to be a matching #s car, but it is a true 409

We could write paragraphs on this Bubble Top, but the pictures tell it all. Give us a call to talk further.

The undercarriege is clean, showing no rust in the floors and a straight frame.

Corvette Stingray designer lists five goals of new exterior shape

Fri, 12 Apr 2013

Redesigning an icon is a difficult task, especially when you've got a blank sheet of paper in front of you and the all-new C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is intended to be your final objective.
General Motors has released a new short video featuring Kirk Bennion of the Corvette's exterior design team, talking about the challenges of sculpting Chevrolet's new flagship sports car and the five goals the team had to keep in mind as it worked. In the end, Bennion's team had the pleasure of seeing their hard work take center stage as the Corvette captured the world's eyes at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year.

Junkyard Gem: 1987 Chevrolet Turbo Sprint

Sun, Feb 6 2022

Fifteen years ago, I wrote my first-ever automotive article under the name Murilee Martin, and it didn't take me long to start writing about one of my favorite automotive subjects: the junkyard. Before I'd refined my system for documenting discarded vehicles, however, I shot a lot of boneyard photos that never got used. For today's Junkyard Gem, I have four shots from early 2007 of one of the rarest turbocharged machines of the 1980s: the Chevrolet Turbo Sprint. The Chevrolet Sprint was really a rebadged Suzuki Cultus, from the pre-Geo era when General Motors sold the Isuzu Gemini as the Chevrolet Spectrum, the Daewoo LeMans as the Pontiac LeMans and the Toyota Corolla as the Chevrolet Nova (soon enough, the Spectrum became a Geo, and the Nova became the Prizm). The second-generation Cultus appeared in 1988, becoming the Geo Metro on our shores the following year. The Turbo Sprint was available for just the last two years of the Sprint's 1985-1988 American sales run, and it appears that just a couple of thousand were sold; if I'd known at the time just how rare they were, I'd have shot more photos of this one at the now-defunct Hayward Pick Your Part. The turbocharged 993cc three-cylinder produced 70 horsepower, 22 better than the naturally-aspirated version. Since the Turbo Sprint weighed just 1,620 pounds (that's about 500 pounds lighter than a barely more powerful '22 Mitsusbishi Mirage), it was plenty of fun to drive. For 1988, the regular Sprint hatchback cost $6,380 while the Turbo Sprint listed at $8,240 (that's about $15,375 and $19,855 today, respectively). Believe it or not, a Turbo Sprint actually raced in the 24 Hours of Lemons 10 years ago, though it didn't end well. This ad is for the regular Cultus, not the Cultus Turbo, but the screaming guitars sound reasonably turbocharged. For the most part, Chevy Sprint marketing was all about cheap purchase price and stingy fuel economy… at a time when gasoline prices were cratering. Related Video:

There once was a time when Daewoo was one of the biggest companies in South Korea. It was larger than both LG and Samsung, and second only to Hyundai. But these days the name is all but gone.
