1961 Impala Rat Rod/ Hot Rod

Chevrolet Impala 1961 Description

My wife bought this car for me when I retired from the Military last year. It was complete but had been sitting for over 40 years. I spent a lot of money and hours along with a lot of headaches to get my Impala going again. These one year only cars are getting harder to find, nd twice the price if it was a 2 door.

I love this car, ust ready for a new project. Thanks for looking, ut you will be responsible to pick upor have car shipped after payment is made in full.

Car is currently driven weekly and new drive train has 325 miles. Just performed the 300 mile oil change with Rotella, ix filterand Lucas Cam additive. Motor is SBC 350 2bolt main completely rebuilt with new flat tops and gaskets etc. Transmission is 700r4 Auto Overdrive with Lockup, ompletely rebuilt with Corvette Syncros, he Beast, ardened Sunshell, alvoline Fluid with Friction Reducer. New 2200 stall converter and 3.70 gears in rear end with new gaskets, earings etc. CPP 4 wheel 11" Disc Brakes with Single Piston calipers and semi metallic pads. New CPP Dual master cylinder and proportioning valve. Brakes are Manual but work amazing and stop this 4000 lb car easily. The E Brake rear cables and parts are installed but the E Brake foot pedal lever in car needs to be looked at to work. Car can easily be a daily driver, ights, linkers and Horn work. Wipers need a new motor, nd of course the car has no A/C or Heat. This Impala sounds amazing with the Comp Cam and Pro Street exhaust, nd drives like a sports car with the New Global West Billet Front End. I have looked on what these cars are going for on Ebay and Craigslist, nd you could not buy or build one with this quality of parts for what my Reserve is. I took these Pics with my Computer, nd they do not do this car justice. Just look at my feedback and how long I have been on Ebay, nd that will tell you if I am describing the car well Absolutely fun car to drive, ust ready for the next project. Thanks for looking
