1961 Chevrolet Impala SS

Description:

This stunning 1961 Chevrolet Impala SS Convertible Restomod is the perfect fusion of classic style and modern performance, offering an impeccable balance of vintage elegance and cutting-edge upgrades. With a known history tracing back to 1967 and residing in California and North Carolina its entire life, this rare Impala has been meticulously cared for by the same owner for the last 41 years.

Completed in 2022, the car underwent a thorough nut-and-bolt, body-off-frame rotisserie restoration. Every inch of this Impala has been brought to show-quality standards, with less than 500 miles driven since the restoration. Dressed in its iconic Roman Red paint, this convertible exudes classic charm while boasting expertly restored trim and bumpers. The side trim and grille have been custom chromed with anodized aluminum, further elevating the car's appearance. Bumper guards, a smoothed firewall, and custom under-hood treatments make this restomod a show-stopper.

Under the hood sits a brand-new 6.2L LS3 crate engine producing 430 horsepower, equipped with custom coil and intake covers, a Griffin aluminum radiator with dual electric fans, and ceramic-coated shorty headers. The Billet aluminum serpentine accessory drive and stainless-steel exhaust system complete the high-performance package. The factory frame has been dip-stripped and powder-coated, offering a durable foundation enhanced by modern Viking double-adjustable coilovers, tubular control arms, and an anti-sway bar for superior handling.

The car rides on gleaming 18"" chrome Foose wheels wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport A/S tires, with four-wheel disc brakes featuring Wilwood calipers, rotors, and a Wilwood master cylinder ensuring top-tier stopping power. Power steering is provided by a new CPP steering gear, giving this classic the ease of a modern-day driver.

Inside, the car's red interior is complemented by white seat accents and updated '62 bucket seats (a thoughtful upgrade over the factory bench seats). The dash is fitted with Dakota Digital gauges, and a Retro Sound radio delivers modern audio through front and rear speakers. Power windows, a tilt steering column, and a leather-wrapped billet aluminum steering wheel complete the comfort upgrades. Vintage air conditioning with factory-style under-dash vents ensures that this cruiser remains cool and comfortable on warm days. The trunk has been fully carpeted, adding a touch of refinement to every aspect of this build.

With its show-quality finish, impressive mechanical upgrades, and faithful adherence to classic styling, this 1961 Chevrolet Impala SS Convertible Restomod offers the best of both worlds-a stylish piece of automotive history combined with cutting-edge technology for modern reliability and performance. Call us today to make it yours!
