- We go behind the scenes and hit up Gil Losi's Garage for an exclusive look at one of the most beautiful and subtle customs ever built! Gil Losi, with the help of Steve Cook, took a subtle approach to a ground up, Ridler-contending build, and nailed it perfectly. Low and mean, this 1961 Chevy Bubbletop is our idea of the perfect custom - check it out!

The 1961 Chevy Impala is the best style design and lines of all the 60s. Love that model, nothing else comes close.
This remains the most impressive 61 Impala I've ever seen 😂, I love the 62 Impala but this one is tearfully beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
I love it, 61 is my favorite year. Now put a stock steering wheel on it. Love the power and look of this.
EXACTLY and get rid of those ghetto wheels
61 is my favorite impala. This is the nicest one I've ever seen. I could sit there with him and look at the car all day long.
This 61 is amazing! Unreal power you wouldn’t expect.
thanks Gil,im a die hard associated guy have never bought anything losi,but i respect and admire what you have done for the industry.awesome cars and an awesome legacy.
I was into RC when LOSI came onto the scene. Love this story & the car.
Thanks for watching!
Same here!!! Never knew he was the owner of Losi RC. Learn something new every day LMAO
My favorite year Impala
My first car at 17, 1961 red Chevy 2-door bubble top Impala. Bought it in 1969 for $500. It only had a 283 v8, 3 speed manual on the column, no ac, and worst of all no power steering! I put Mickey Thompson 70 series tires all around with American mags, what a beast to park. Loved that car
Most beautiful car ever created
Epic 61 it has to be the best one ever made yet. Twin turbo 2000hp lookin like that who does that? that guy☝️ what a beautiful dream Machine. Congratulations sir on your bubble top and thank you for the child memories 🏎 🏃
I hate to nit pick such a beautiful car but it really needs the bullet bumper guards - they're such an iconic detail for 61
Pissed thousands away on rc cars but never a Losie. Putting it in my 61 Biscayne now.
My dream car. So beautiful. Thanks for sharing it.
What a beauty !
Perfect at any angle🤙🏼
Just another piece of artwork beautiful very pretty
Im working on a 1961 Impala 4 door hardtop... ALL STOCK... right down to the steel wheels and the full wheel covers... AND ORIGINAL steering wheel.... (thats the BOMB on that car) repaint cost me less than $2000. original golden beige, with beige interior. A few door dinges on the side trim, and the bumpers original chrome is a bit aged. but its perfect. 230 hp 327, alum power glide
This guy is a legend.
That's beautiful
In the early '80s I found a '61 Impala SS (Honduras Maroon) all stock and original. It was an early SS and had the 348. The 409 came out mid year. Wish I still had it....
OMG... I love impala's and this one is soooo over the top. Great job.
BEAUTIFUL. I'D LOVE TO HAVE A PRO STREET VERSION TOO.
Beautiful car one to be proud. That impala is one of the best one out there,!!!!! Poncho
Oh my gosh BEAUTIFUL 😎😎😎
Stunning......
Agreed, thanks for watching. :)
Dam can't wait to build my 62 impala ss 1000hp twin turbo.this 61 impala was built to get attention the interior is bad ass.
Simply WOW
Soooo clean
Awsome!
Love the car ! what size wheel/tire combination did you go with ! i am building a black Biscayne and love that look
Love the impala!! The name though “Under Pressure” Queen? Nope.
Gil, you have always been my hero! Next time you and I are at a stop sign at San Antonio and 14th St in Upland.....I'm gonna back down. What does Janet think of this one. I know her favorite was once your '60 Ford. Also, you look great in the video....must be Claro's sausage keeping you fit. Gil, God Bless you and Janet, Rich
My twine cousin's had two of them the original color tan both brother's car's were the same color one was a darker tan than the other one back in 1983-84 something like that. They had other brother's and they must have had all the impalas at one time or another. They would trade them like they were trading horse's. The youngest brother drive a 1950 Buick I love cruising in that beautiful car he was the second owner.
Theres NOTHING like money!
Is it for sale...
Come to see a nice old 61 chevy...
A kool rear car nice
Tive uma Impala 1961, também precisava terminar pintura e um pouco nde funilaria montar parte de cima do motor ,😟e eu tinha apenas 18 anos não tinha condições passei do jeito q estava por uma mixaria bachando q Qm a comprava ia terminar ,meu sonho era vê lá andando,mas nunca vi..
Nicely done!

nothing prettier than a 61chevy
Well... maybe a 61 Pontiac Ventura Bubble-Top w/ 8-bolts?
Exactly right ! I was 11 years old in 1961. My uncle bought a new Impala 4 door sedan, 6 cyl. 3 spd. On the column. Almond beige top, rest of it was fawn beige. I loved that car. He let me drive it on the back roads.
👍
Moran engine, shit got serious.
RC is like crack. He should be thanking the thousands who bought the TLR 22 and other cars that made his trillions. Bad ass 61'. I piece mine together in my garage.
love exterior even though wheels don't look right on it. interior seems way off for the car. could've gone a way better route but oh well I'm sure he likes it.
like ME :P
Ruined it its now not original
My dream car. So beautiful. Thanks for sharing it.
