1961 Chevrolet Impala Convertible – Jewel Blue Resto-Mod – Ridetech Suspension – 350 V8 – Wilwood Brakes
This beautiful 1961 Chevrolet Impala Convertible is an exceptional example of one of Chevrolet's most iconic full-size convertibles. Finished in its original and highly attractive Jewel Blue exterior with a Blue and White vinyl interior, this Impala has the classic early-'60s styling everyone loves, combined with tasteful modern resto-mod upgrades that make it a truly excellent driving car.
According to the trim tag, this Impala was built as a Jewel Blue V8 Convertible with Blue vinyl interior. It was produced during the 4th week of April 1961 at the Janesville, Wisconsin assembly plant. Factory options included power windows, tinted windshield, padded dash, and a power convertible top, making this a well-optioned and desirable example from new.
During its restoration, the car was upgraded with a complete Ridetech coilover suspension system, including a coilover independent front suspension, upgraded rear springs and components, a 1 1/4-inch front anti-roll bar, and a 1-inch rear anti-roll bar. It also features an upgraded power steering box, giving this classic Impala a much more confident and refined feel on the road.
Power comes from an upgraded 350 small-block Chevrolet V8 equipped with an Edelbrock aluminum intake and 4-barrel carburetor, paired with an upgraded Turbo 350 automatic transmission and a 3.08 rear end. Stopping power has also been significantly improved with Wilwood 4-wheel power disc brakes, making this car drive every bit as good as it looks.
The exterior presents beautifully in Jewel Blue, complemented by the fresh Blue and White interior and a new White power convertible top. The color combination is absolutely stunning and perfectly suited to the sleek, low-slung lines of the 1961 Impala Convertible.
This is a rare and legendary Chevrolet convertible that blends original-style presentation with smart performance and handling upgrades. With its beautiful factory-correct colors, desirable options, V8 power, modern suspension, Wilwood brakes, and excellent road manners, this 1961 Chevrolet Impala Convertible is a very special car ready to be driven, shown, and enjoyed.
