Are you are looking for the right body to finish and make your own? Do you have an engine that’s looking for a home? Look no further than this incredible opportunity!! For your consideration is a 1961 Chevrolet Impala 2 door Sport Coupe Bubble Top. This isn’t your typical project car by any means!! This car is almost done! Just put in an engine, and some nice American Racing wheels, and you have a $20,000+ driver!

Backstory: I purchased this car about a year ago with plans of building an over top Resto Mod with an LS1 engine, Disc Brakes, Air, etc. My plans have changed, and I have decided to sell the “roller” to someone else who can make their dream a reality. I originally purchased this car because everything is mostly here! And it’s extremely hard to find a Bubble Top Chevy, and one that has integrity such as a solid undercarriage, floors, trunk, etc. I purchased the car from a retired gentleman in Florida. He purchased it a few years back from an estate sale. The family did not know any history about it, other than it was in the garage for years. Though the title shows exempt mileage (which is common for antique vehicles) the odometer shows 13,289 miles. The car and story intrigued me from the start, so I had to buy it! Was it an old drag car that got tucked away? Was it a car just built to look like a vintage racer, and then forgotten about in a garage for years? I have never taken the time to research the VIN or to peruse any history. So the mystery continues….

This car is complete except for an engine. It will come with everything pictured. With installing an engine, THIS CAR IS VIRTUALLY TURN KEY!! Very street-able in its current condition.  There aren’t boxes of parts that you have to put together! It’s all assembled and ready for your finishing touch! 400 Turbo Automatic Transmission,GM Posi Rear with 3.73 gears, Aluminum Radiator, Manual Drum Brakes, factory manual steering box, new shocks and springs, factory gauges, Auto Gauge Tach, wiper motor is present. There is a 12 gallon fuel cell in the trunk that is currently functional. Included is a factory tank.  Headlights, tail lights all function properly. The side glass is Lexan, not the factory glass. There are no window regulators. The front fenders and the hood are fiberglass. They fit fairly well for being glass. The inner fenders (inside engine bay) are steel. As you can see in the photos, the hood lifts off, as well as the trunk. Trunk lid is steel (Bel Air Trunk). There is a roll bar, but it can be removed fairly easily. The front and rear seats are in very good condition, and mounted in the factory position. Headliner and carpet are also in good condition. Interior door panels are not the factory type, just painted steel that is finished off nicely, but not factory. The exhaust is straight pipes without mufflers.

The entire car is in solid driver+ quality condition. The chrome, stainless trim, grill, & bumpers show very well. Has a very clean look. The paint is smooth with much depth and shine, unsure to age. The engine bay shows great. The undercarriage and frame is extremely clean, with no visible rust, rot, holes, bubbles, or issues that need addressing. Frame is very straight and true, not twisted or damaged in any way. The floors and trunk pan are solid and appear to be original. rear quarters also appear to be original. Trim Tag shows Interior Trim code 873- Red/Ivory,  Paint code 973- White/Red. The VIN begins with 11837A- 1961 Impala 2 Dr. 8cyl Sport Coupe, Atlanta Built.

In summary, this car has great bones to turn it into the machine YOU want! I can’t emphasize enough how close this car is to cruising a local car show by the weekend. Literally a couple days work to this classic, and you have a 61 Chevy Bubble top for a fraction of what other cars are bringing in this appreciating market. A great opportunity for the right person to turn this Impala into something special.

I urge everyone to take a look at my feedback. Bid with confidence! It was 100% until a few weeks ago, when a malicious ebayer left me negative feedback over a $45.00 die cast model car! Apparently, a windshield wiper was damaged in shipping overseas. I attempted to rectify the situation, but the buyer would not respond or contact me at all, and left me negative feedback!
