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.
This 1972 Chevrolet Impala Custom Coupe shows 74,185 miles and represents a classic example of Chevrolet’s full-size American cruiser from the early 1970s. Finished in brown with a contrasting tan vinyl roof, the car retains its period-correct styling with factory-style hubcaps, whitewall tires, and chrome trim. Inside, the brown interior reflects the Impala’s comfortable and spacious design with a classic dashboard layout and vintage controls typical of Chevrolet’s full-size lineup.
The 1961 Chevrolet Impala is one of the most recognizable early-60s American coupes, known for its sweeping side trim, quad headlights, and jet-age design language. This example has been transformed into an LS-swapped restomod while retaining much of its original character inside and out. Finished in green with a white interior, the car features a recently installed LS1 V8 with approximately 94,601 miles on the engine. The firewall has been painted in candy apple red, highlighting the custom drivetrain installation, though the exterior paintwork remains unfinished and the seller has noted a quarter panel issue pending further documentation. Sitting on 22-inch wheels, this Impala blends classic styling with modern performance, presenting as a partially completed project with strong mechanical foundations.
The 1964 Chevrolet Impala Sport Coupe stands as one of the most iconic full-size American classics of the 1960s. With its long, sculpted body lines, quad headlights, and wide chrome grille, the ’64 model remains one of the most recognizable Impalas ever built. Finished in vibrant Red over a Black vinyl interior, this example carries the unmistakable presence that made the Impala a staple of muscle-era cruising culture. Under the hood sits a 350ci naturally aspirated V8, a popular and reliable small-block upgrade that enhances performance over the original factory offerings. Paired with a 3-speed automatic transmission, this Impala delivers classic V8 smoothness with easy drivability.
This 1983 Chevrolet El Camino combines the practicality of a pickup with the driving character of a classic muscle car, now enhanced with a performance-focused drivetrain. Showing 120,885 miles, this example has been modified with a 383ci stroker V8, giving the iconic car-truck platform substantially more performance than its factory configuration. The El Camino has long been appreciated for its unique blend of coupe styling and pickup utility, and this example builds on that legacy with a series of aftermarket upgrades that enhance both its performance and driver engagement.
This 1935 Chevrolet Tudor Sedan has been thoughtfully transformed into a modern street rod while preserving the timeless character of Chevrolet’s pre-war design. Originally produced during a period when streamlined styling and improved engineering were redefining American automobiles, the 1935 Chevrolet featured graceful fender lines, a tall chrome grille, and elegant proportions. This example retains its all-original steel body but benefits from extensive mechanical and cosmetic upgrades, creating a classic cruiser that combines vintage style with contemporary performance. Finished in a gray and silver exterior with red pinstriping, this Tudor sedan blends traditional hot rod aesthetics with modern reliability and comfort.
One of Chevy’s most popular compacts of the Sixties and Seventies, cars like this 1972 Chevrolet Nova Restomod ruled the roost of sporty small cars. They were available in frugal six-cylinder form, or with small-block V8s under the hood. Today’s car, however, is a build like no other. It rocks a mammoth 454ci V8 under the hood, driving the rear wheels through a TH-350 automatic gearbox. A 2.5-inch aftermarket exhaust ensures that everyone hears the rumble of the big V8 as you streak by in a flash of burnt orange, riding upon REV 109 classic Magnum 15-inch wheels. You’ll even get dual four-point harnesses which are currently not installed, in case you want to take this Nova to a track or strip.
Here’s a chance that’s not very likely to come every day. This 1990 Nissan Skyline GT-R could be yours if you’d like to own one of the Eighties and Nineties JDM cult heroes that most petrolheads lust after in their dreams. This heavily-modified car packs an RB26 single-turbo built motor, a sleek black outlook and 62,148 miles on the clock. Coming from the fine R32 generation, it’s also got a very distinctive shape to its two-door coupe body. Don’t worry about this car being right-hand drive; you’ll quicky get used to it.
Now here’s one for those who seek a classic Mustang in cruiser style. This beautifully restored 1965 Ford Mustang Hardtop comes to you from Hot Springs Village, in all its Wimbledon White glory. The vehicle has got over 120,000 miles on its 200ci straight six, and features a 3-speed automatic transmission as well. This makes it great for those who can’t drive stick, or haven’t done so in a long time. We’re told that the car drives exceptional, with no rust, plus everything on the vehicle is fully functional. With over 550,000 Mustangs sold in 1965, finding one isn’t hard, but finding one in great shape like this is rather less conducive. So if you want to get this car for yourself, don’t waste any time in contacting our team.
