1961 Chevrolet Impala

Heavily Equipped Frame-Off Restored Chevy Impala SS Convertible With Factory A/C

The 1961 Chevy Impala marked an important moment in Chevrolet performance history with the introduction of the Super Sport package. This frame-off restored convertible brings together that early SS identity with a striking factory Black exterior, Red and White interior, four-speed manual, and an impressive list of comfort options.

Under the hood is a 348 cubic inch 4-barrel big block V8 paired with a Borg Warner T10 4-speed manual transmission and floor shifter. Dual exhaust gives the 348 an appropriately deep voice, and power steering and power brakes make this Impala Super Sport more comfortable to drive.

The factory Black body is paired with a black vinyl power convertible top, creating a sharp contrast against the factory Red and White vinyl split-bench interior. A matching red vinyl parade cover finishes the look with the power convertible top lowered. Factory air conditioning is a particularly desirable feature in an open-top Chevy Impala SS, and power windows add another welcome convenience.

Fifteen-inch aluminum Impala wheel covers with thin whitewall tires maintain the period appearance. A full-size spare, factory tools, and factory owner's guide remain with the car.

If you are searching for a Chevy Impala for sale, this heavily equipped 1961 Impala captures an important chapter in the Impala SS story. With its 348 big block, four-speed, factory air, and dramatic Black-over-Red combination, this '60s Chevrolet Impala offers the perfect setting for dropping the top, grabbing the floor shifter, and enjoying an early piece of Chevrolet Super Sport history.
