1961 Chevrolet Impala Convertible 283CI V8
Description
The 283ci V8 is mated to a two-speed automatic transmission, and service during the past year included rebuilding the carburetor, performing a tune-up, and changing the oil.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a Powerglide two-speed automatic transmission with a 3.08:1 final gear ratio.
The body was repainted in its factory white during the refurbishment and features a power-operated black soft top that have been replaced around the same time.
Style elements include rear fender skirts, triple horizontal taillights, chrome bumpers and rocker moldings, and body-side trim with a black fill section.
An interior-matching red boot cover is included.
Steel 14″ wheels are fitted with branded chrome hubcaps and Coker whitewall tires have been mounted in 2019.
Braking is provided by four-wheel hydraulic drums.
The interior features front and rear bench seats reupholstered in pleated red vinyl with white longitudinal stripes.
Bright aluminum inserts on the matching door panels correspond with the dashboard fascia, and the red carpeting is protected by Impala-embroidered floor mats.
A two-tone steering wheel frames a horizontal-sweep 120-mph speedometer sitting above an electric clock flanked by gauges for fuel level and engine temperature.
The five-digit odometer shows 74k miles, true mileage is unknown.
