1961 Chevrolet Impala Bubble Top Manual

1961 Chevrolet Impala Bubble Top. This has been a full body off restoration that was completed in 2017. The original X member frame was boxed and powder coated. All four wheels are hydro boost disc brakes. The rear end is a 4:11 posi-traction hooked up to tubular control arms with 1 1/2" sway bar. The front is coil over shocks with tubular control arms and 1 1/2" sway bar. The motor is a 348 completely rebuilt and balanced by the premier engine builder Dave Pluebell. This is hooked up to a Tremac 5-speed with hydraulic clutch. It has six two-barrel manifold for a very striking effect but it runs only on the two center carbs for smooth drivability. All the exhaust is handmade with mandrel bends and black ceramic coat. The body is painted PPG 2-stage which really shows the laser straight body. All the aluminum trim and the grill have been anodized. Both front and rear bumpers are California one piece. The interior has been done in the original red/white pattern this includes the 1962 bucket seats that replaced the original bench seat. In addition there is a glove box console with USB and a 12-volt outlet. Vintage air conditioning blows ice cold. The wheels are 18" one-piece cast to match the original style rally wheels.
