I could be mistaken, but I thought the SS Super Sport package first introduced in Feb.1961 came with the 360 hp 409 as the only engine option...Chevy's first real "muscle car". Those bubble tops are gorgeous cars. The tri-power 348s were great with 280 hp with the 9.5:1 pistons and 350 hp with the hi-performance 11.25:1 compression option. You can't lose either way!
'61 Impala Super Sport base engine was a 305HP 4bbl 348. Several other 348s followed with 4bbls, 3x2s, up to 350HP. Any of these engines could be optioned in any other full-size Chevy. The 409/360HP was exclusive to Impala Super Sports.
Valve covers & air cleaners definitely not stock but who cares, it's that WOW factor. IMO Pontiac's stock "Tri Power" bigger individual carb air cleaner setup has better looks. Any other Old Timers out there remember only Impalas ('61) had the 4-bar tailight trim pieces? I put them on my Dad's '61 Belair.
the late 50's/60's was the time to futurify a car. Like every thing else, we just don't do it well today. our cars look like bugs and have for some time. And many stink like sulfur when slamming down the gas. something cars NEVER did back then under load. This looks like Flash Gordon's joy ride. But I think the 1959 looks better! just an opinion.

Dave Smith You could order either the 348 or the 409. Just depended on what you could afford.
409 were a option in the spring of 1961
You are right . 1961 chevy impala.s ss had 360 hp with a 409.

love the style and detail these old classics have
love the tail lights on these
Why did you fail to mention the dual master cylinder when you were pointing out all the "original" parts?
I noticed that as well. If you're going to sell this type of car DO YOUR HOMEWORK there are a lot of us old guys that know what is going on.
Exactly
Awesome 61 impala SS 👍🏼😎
Bubble tops did not come with b pillars correct?
Beautiful how much ?
