Description : Gateway Classic Cars of Louisville is proud to present this 1961 Chevrolet Impala Bubbletop. 1961 saw the first year of the third generation for the successful Impala. The new design was trimmer and boxier than its predecessor. While there were a few different trims for 1961 what we have here is the sport coupe which offered a thin rear roof pillar and an oversized rear window. In time this is what enthusiasts would come to call the bubbletop. Highly sought after by collectors for their design and value, these specific Impalas are easily identified and turn heads everywhere! This fine example upon approach you are dazzled with light glinting off the chrome and fresh silver paint. The stance of this car! The rims with the red line tires really set the car off. No matter the angle, front to back you can easily see the time and care that went into the build. Under the hood 2 -4-barrel carbs sit atop a 409ci V8 X-block from 1963. Mated to that is a Muncie 4-speed manual transmission. Only 8 miles on it since it was finished! That is not a typo. The build is extensive, here are some highlights: Solid Lifter Cam, Ride Tech Suspension, Vintage Air, MSD Distributor, Hooker Headers, Custom Exhaust, Aluminum Radiator, and Wilwood 6 piston 4-wheel disc brakes. And there is a lot more. All receipts included, easily 100 of them in a case. This car was one of the few that was roped off at the 2020 Street Rod Nationals! Solidifies the caliber of car you are considering here. Options on this car include: Air Conditioning, CD Player, Power Steering, Seat Belts, and Aluminum Wheels.

About Chevrolet
Chevrolet aka Chevy, founded in 1911 by Louis Chevrolet and William C. Durant is the best selling and biggest brand by General Motors -mainly due to low pricing. No wonder Chevy the "working man's car" has become such an iconic part of Americana in films and pop-culture.
When talking about Chevy one must not ignore Chevrolet small-block V8 the world's most produced engine that has been in production since 1955 and still going strong.
Surprisingly, "America's only sports car" Corvette was introduced under Chevrolet brand rather than its own. To us the most memorable Corvette has to be The second generation (C2) Corvette, Sting Ray.
To compete with VW Beatle Chevrolet introduced Corvair a compact automobile built in 1960–1969 It was the only American designed, mass-produced passenger car to feature a rear-mounted air-cooled engine. Corvair handling was deemed notoriously bad mainly due to Ralph Nader's Unsafe at Any Speed. Although, any handling issues were soon solved the reputation did stick.
With Pony / Muscle car mania taking over the Americans, following the introduction of Ford Mustang, Chevrolet came up with one of its most famous models Camaro. During the first year alone they managed to sell 220,906 Camaros.
