1961 CHEVY IMPALA 348, TWO SPEED POWERGLIDE, DUAL EXHAUST. IM SELLING THIS CAR DUE TO OLD INJURY THAT HAS FINALY CAUGHT UP TO ME AND I HAVE BEEN PUT ON DISABILITY. DUE TO THIS IM HAVING TO SELL ALL OF MY PROJECTS. THIS CAR I HAVE HAD TO RELY ON SUBBING OUT ALL THE WORK ON, SUCH AS FRONT END AND ENGINE WORK. I HAD PURCHASED THIS CAR ABOUT A YEAR AGO. WHEN I HAD PURCHASED IT, IT HAD A GOOD 283, BUT WAS COMPLETELY FACTORY BADGED AS A 348 V8 CAR. I CHECKED THE NUMBERS ON THE ENGINE AND THEY MATCHED THE YEAR OF THE CAR  THE TRANS. DID AS WELL. A FRIEND OF MINE HAD AN ENGINE IN HIS GARAGE THAT WAS TASKEN OUT OF A 61 TOTALED 348 IMPALA WITH 69K MILES ON IT IN ABOUT 1983.  THE NUMBERS WERE GOOD AS WELL, SO I PURCHASED IT AS WELLTO HAVE INSTALLED LATER ON.   I HAD A NEW 2" LOWERING SPINDLES, CROSS DRILLED DISC. BRAKE, WITH POWER BOOSTER THAT I HAD PURCHASED, ALONG WITH TUBULAR UPPER AND LOWER CONTROL ARMS FRONT END KIT COMPLETE. I SENT THEM OUT AND HAD THEM INSTALLED ALONG WITH ALIGNMENT AND COMPLETE BRAKE JOB, FROM FRONT TO REAR TO INCLUDE WHEEL CYLINDERS AND CAILIPERS. TOTAL COST FOR PARTS AND LABOR 3,898.00. PUT ABOUT 2,300.00 IN A NEW SET OF COYES 17" FRT & 18 REARS, TIRES ARE STILL WITH STICKERS ON THEM SIZES ARE 245 X50 X R17" AND REARS ARE 255 X 50 X R 18" FROM THERE I TOOK THE CAR TO THE ENGINE MECHANIC. IT TOOK THE GUY ABOUT THREE MONTHS TO INSTALL THE 348, AS I WANTED A NEW HIGH VOLUME LOW P.S.I. OIL PUMP, WATER PUMP, AND A NEW TIMMING CHAIN WITH COMP ELECTRONIC IGNITION. THEN WE RAN INTO INTAKE PROBLEMS AS ONLY AN OLD FOUR BARREL WOULD WORK ON THE OLD 348 4 BARREL MANIFOLD. SO I HAD TO PURCHASE A NEW ELDEBROCK INTAKE AT AN OUTRAGIOUS PRICE OF 385.00, ALONG WITH A NEW ELDERBROCK CARBERATOR 368.00. THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED DUE TO MY MISSHAP SO IT HAS ONLY IDLED AND BEEN LOT DRIVEN. HAS A LITTLE BLOW BY DUE TO SITTING SO LONG AND SHOULD CLEAR OUT WHEN DRIVEN. THE BODY TITH THE EXEPTION OF TWO SMALL AREAS IS IN NEAR PERFECT CONDITION, I CAN HAVE THE DRIVERS FRONT FENDER SPOT REPAIRED BEFOR DELIVERY, AND THE SMALL RUST HOLE NEAR THE REAR WINDOW 1/8"ON DRIVERS SIDE AS WELL AT NO EXTRA COST, AS I HAD PAID TO GET IT DONE.  THE FLOORS HAVE HAD REPAIRS YEARS AGO AND ARE GOOD AS IS, WITH NO LEAKS ETC. THE REAR SIDE OF ROCKERS ARE NEEDING SOME REPAIRS AS WELL. THE TRUNK AND 1/4 PANELS TO INCLUDE THE BACKS OF QUARTER PANELS ARE NO RUST AREAS, AND NO REPAIRS . THE FRAME HAS NO RUST DAMAGE ANYWHERE. ALL THE TRIM IS IN EXELLENT CONDITION FOR ITS AGE, ONLY SURFACE RUST IS A VERY SMALL LICENSE EDGE TRIM SURFACE, THAT WILL REQUIRE RECHROME OR USED EBAY PART. I WAS PLANNING ON DOING THE CAR TOP END PRO TOURING JOB ON THIS CAR, BUT OTHER PLANS CHANGED THE DIRECTION. TRUE MILES ARE OVIOUSLY UNKNOWN, AND TITLE REFLECTS EXEMPT MILES, AND CLEAR FL. TITLE. BID ONLY TO PURCHASE PLEASE.
