Shes Real Fine, My 409...
4 Speed Dual Quad Posi Taction 409
This Impala is located at my home in Daytona Beach, Florida. For your consideration is an example of one of Chevrolet's most beautiful creations, a car so famous the Beach Boys wrote a song about it! A 1961 Chevrolet Impala 2 dr Bubble Top. This is my personal car, took 3 years to complete body off restoration, and have over $100,000 invested with doing quite a bit of the work ourselves! It is a showpiece. Bring your pickiest buyer, you will not be dissapointed. I think the car is exceptional. Equipped how any Impala should be with a 409 V8 425 H.P. Dual Quad Engine, Muncie 4 Speed Trans, Ford 9” Posi Rear with 3.42 Gears, 4 wheel Power Disc Brakes, Power Steering, and Vintage Air Condition.
The Impala is finished in a Deep Gloss Black PPG Base/Clear Paint. She shines at any angle, with much depth and gloss. Bottom line, a Black Car DOES NOT LIE... Very Straight. Hours and hours were spent to make everything line up better than factory! Take a look at the pics, from 10 feet away you can read the print on your t-shirt! Literally a mirror finish. Restoration was completed about a year ago with only 500 miles on this beauty. Undercarriage shows just like the top of the car, straight, clean and finished in gloss black. NO Undercoat, NO Patch Panels, NO Issues, NO Stories! We put new floors in and used the correct stamp steel. The car was done right... NO Cut Corners!!
It rides, drives, and handles like a new car; straight down the road with no shimmies, shakes, or vibrations. Extremely tight and surprisingly easy to drive for what it is. I would not hesitate to get behind the wheel of this car with my family and drive it across country. She cruises at 65 MPH as it should. A person of any size or age could drive this vehicle comfortably. All of the lights, turn signals, brakes, gauges,etc are functioning properly. Engine fires right up with no smoking, ticking, noises, etc. Has a fantastic sound with 3" Dual Exhaust. Car is turnkey and ready to drive anywhere. The Interior is simply spectacular finished beautifully in a custom Red Leather. New Seats, Covers, Door Panels, Headliner, Carpet, Custom Covered Center Console. It is perfect. A ton of money was spent in creating this piece. Below is a detailed breakdown of the Impala:
