1961 Chevrolet Impala

Vehicle Overview

Originally my Dads car, he bought it very shortly after I was born so it's like a little sister to me. He can't drive it any more, and this is my inheritance, so I have slowly taken over work on the car. 409 bored .030 over/Stroker 454 crank, displacement increased to 474ci Show Cars spec Comp roller cam, Comp roller rockers Edelbrock 409 Performer Aluminum heads and small port intake manifold Edelbrock 650cfm Performer carb Edelbrock aluminum waterpump Holey high performance fuel pump Doug Thorley ceramic coated long tube headers Magnaflow 2.5" mandrel bent, stainless exhaust, header back 605 steering box 3 core aluminum radiator Volvo electric fan and controller, Auto Meter Sport-Comp II Pro-Control Coolant Temp Gauge, works as a programmable high and low temp switch for the Volvo controller CPP Hydro-Boost Power Brake Booster 200 Amp alternator Optima Red Top battery 2 Gauge battery cables
