Another beautiful Basil Classic... this 1961 Chevrolet Impala showing 11,887 miles has been handpicked and meets Joe Basil's standards of excellence and tradition of fine automobiles since 1951.
Finished in a stunning Powder Blue over a matching blue interior, this 1961 Chevrolet Impala "Bubbletop" is a show-winning example built to an exceptionally high standard. The car underwent a complete rotisserie restoration, and the results speak for themselves — laser-straight body panels, deep, glossy paint, and flawless chrome trim throughout. The car sits on a set of polished billet wheels with a subtle, aggressive stance that perfectly complements the iconic bubbletop roofline and sweeping tailfins. Under the hood is a 348 ci V8 with tri-power induction, sporting just 8,000 miles since the build. The triple two-barrel carburetors, finished in correct factory silver with polished air cleaners, sit atop the orange-painted 348 big block, and the "It's a 348" script is still present on the factory-blue inner fender panels — a beautifully detailed and correct-looking engine bay. Inside, the blue and silver houndstooth-style upholstery is complemented by a color-matched dash, center console with dual cupholders, and a tilt steering wheel for added driving comfort. The car has also been upgraded with a Vintage Air air conditioning system, keeping things cool and comfortable on the road while retaining the classic factory appearance. Driving comfort is further enhanced with power steering and power brakes, making this big Chevy every bit as enjoyable to drive as it is to look at. This Impala is also fully photo-documented, capturing every stage of its rotisserie build — an invaluable resource for the next owner and a testament to the quality and care that went into this restoration. A true show-quality '61 Impala Bubbletop, combining period-correct tri-power performance with modern driving comfort — an outstanding example for the discerning collector.
