The 1961 Impala, a crowning achievement in Chevrolet’s lineup, continued its dominance in the American automotive market. Building upon its success from previous years, the Impala offered a compelling combination of style, performance, and value. With over 500,000 units sold, it solidified its position as the nation’s best-selling car.
Customers were spoiled for choice with a range of engine options, from the standard 235ci six-cylinder to the powerful 348ci V8. The introduction of the Super Sport package added a touch of sportiness and luxury, while the iconic 409 engine provided exhilarating performance for those seeking more power.
This impeccably restored 1961 Chevrolet Impala convertible is a sight to behold. With its gleaming aluminum, pristine moldings, and flawless grille, it looks like it just rolled off the showroom floor. Under the hood, a stock 409ci engine paired with an automatic transmission delivers a smooth, powerful performance. The car drives like new and is ready to hit the road.
One of the most striking features of this Impala is its rare Sateen Silver paint (code 940), which complements the red and white interior and white top. While many Impalas of this era were offered in black and white, this particular color combination is a true standout. The car also features power steering, power brakes, dual rear antennas, fender skirts, and a front bumper guard.
If you’re looking to add a stunning classic to your collection, this 1961 Impala convertible is a must-see. Priced at $112,000, it is a fair value for a car in such exceptional condition. The owner is also open to considering trades for 1958-1965 hardtops, but a significant cash difference will be required.
