Chevy’s full-sized offering, the Impala nameplate is still fondly looked upon by many despite bowing out by 2020. Arguably, the classic Impalas from the Sixties through Eighties are the defining ones, as well as the Impala SS from the Nineties. This 1961 Chevrolet Impala Sport Coupe Restomod hails from the third generation of the nameplate and has undergone a full restoration in 2013. Let’s find out what it’s all about, and why it makes for a fine classic with some modern conveniences to enjoy.
This Impala wears a black suit with plenty of chrome accessories to highlight its timeless Sixties beauty. Let’s first take in the trio of rear lamps that are its most defining feature to those following. The rear of a car may not receive as much design attention as the front, but you can tell that this wasn’t the case for the third-gen Impala. Moving to the sides, you’ve got clean lines and an ample glasshouse, thanks to the no post or B-Pillar. The restomod aspect comes from the set of aftermarket U.S. Mag alloy wheels and low-profile tires. Now it’s time to venture inside, and we’re going to start with the trunk because it’s decked out in an eye-searing red, replate with Chevy bow tie on the trunk lid inners. This is an ample-sized trunk, you can easily fit plenty of luggage for a cross-country dash. Speaking of cross-country trips, four adults can comfortably ride in the red passenger cabin of this 1961 Chevrolet Impala Restomod, resting upon newly upholstered seats. There’s air conditioning too, thanks to a new Vintage Air system. Front seat occupants receive bucket seats for that extra bit of bolstering when the driver gets a tad boisterous, which isn’t hard, given the massive engine up front and the Hurst 8-ball gear shifter to snick through the transmission with. We also note some aftermarket gauges, including a tachometer in a custom center console as well.
This 1961 Chevrolet Impala Restomod packs a 454ci (7.4L) V8 engine that’s reportedly new. Along with the hefty motor, sits twin Edelbrock 4-Barrel Carburetors. Since the third-gen Impala peaked at 403ci from the factory, this upsized engine is another piece of the restomod puzzle. We don’t have power figures, but safe to say that upwards of 300hp and 350lb-ft would be reasonable to expect. Drive goes to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission with stopping power replaced with 4-Wheel disc brakes with a set of drilled rotors up front.
Playing the role of Chevy’s flagship offering between 1958 and 1985, the Impala was aptly named after the African antelope of the same name. The Impala was meant to embody grace, which is an interesting way to describe an automaker’s most land yacht-like vehicle. Over time, the Impala would be made as a coupe, convertible, hardtop, and station wagon. This particular 1964 Chevrolet Impala SS Convertible comes from the last year of the third generation, and got a full frame-off restoration in 2020. The car has received a few useful upgrades as well including a full hydraulic system, making it a wonderfully charming classic car to add to your collection – or start a collection with.
The 1963 Chevrolet Impala is an iconic blend of classic American style and performance. Renowned for its sleek, sculpted design, the 1963 model features distinctive triple taillights, a low-profile roofline, and bold body contours that exude elegance and power. If you appreciate cars that have been preserved rather than those that are modified or upgraded, then this car could be perfect for you. The owner reports that all parts are stock and that the car has undergone recent servicing.
Chevy’s Impala was the famous Bowtie automaker’s full-size offering for many years. It appeared sporadically between 1957 and 2020 and made it across ten generations. The Impala is named, as you may suspect, after the African antelope of the same name. It quickly won favor with the American auto-loving public due to its diverse array of body styles and, of course, V8 power. Up for sale today is a third-generation 1961 Chevrolet Impala Bubbletop Restomod, which reportedly packs 45,000 original miles. But, it’s received a comprehensive do-over, more power, and some modern comfort features.
Considering an eighth generation Corvette? We don’t blame you; Chevy’s sweetheart sports car is now a fearsome, baby supercar chaser. With its fighter-jet looks, mid-mounted V8, and capable handling, the C8 is a serious driver’s car. Yet, when you need, it can be as docile as a pussycat, as comfortable as any other car, and can even perform daily driving duties without so much as a grumble. That’s got to be reason enough to give this 2023 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible 3LT Z51 70th Anniversary Edition a new home. Want another reason? The car’s got under 3,000 miles on it. If you’re still on the fence, let us tell you a bit about this car.
Chevy’s fourth generation Corvette ran between 1984 and 1996, and was responsible for a major shift in America’s favorite sports car’s persona. The Corvette gained new, angular styling, a digital-style dashboard, more power, and enhanced handling. Mercifully, the much-loved pop-up headlamps were retained. Then, a high-performance variant called the ZR1 was introduced in 1990. The ZR1 drew heavily from Britain’s Lotus sports car maker. Enhancements included a new LT5 V8 engine, larger brakes and sportier suspension tuning. This makes the fourth-generation ZR1 one of the most sought-after neo-classic Corvettes. Here’s a great example up for grabs right now, a 1991 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 with just 69,000 miles on the clock. It’s got a rebuilt engine, while all info is as reported by the current owner.
The fifth generation Corvette was revealed in 1997, and would run until 2005. It is the last generation to have the pop-up headlamps, which were discontinued with 2005’s C6 due to inability to meet newer crash regulations. That’s why C5 Corvettes command a special place in the hearts of enthusiasts. That, plus the fact that the C5 has some neat engineering. For example, the transmission is at the rear of the car, coupled to the front-mounted engine via a torque tube that turns at engine speed. This arrangement enables the C5 to achieve the magic 50-50 front-rear weight distribution, vastly improving its handling over the C4. This, plus myriad other upgrades, makes the C5 a definitive future classic, as well as a sports car that you can still enjoy in 2024. So why not jump on the bandwagon of fun and buy this 2000 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible? This car comes with recent servicing, two keys, and 56,067 miles on the odometer.
With Jaguar Cars recently rebranding to mixed reactions from auto enthusiasts, it’s a great time to remind ourselves of their greatest hits from the past. One of these is the XJS grand tourer. Produced between 1975 and 1996, the XJS is widely regarded as one of the most iconic Jags ever made. Its flying buttresses and grunty V12 engine all make for a superb driving experience, and one heck of a weekend cruiser. That’s why we’re glad to offer this 1992 Jaguar XJS V12. The car has covered 94,231 miles so far, and has reportedly undergone some recent maintenance.
