A 1961 Chevrolet Impala Sport Coupe, the model known as a "bubbletop" for its thin pillars and wraparound windows, is listed for sale at $259,900 with 1,111 miles shown on the odometer.
The car retains the original bodywork but features an LS2 V8 engine sourced from a C6 Corvette, producing 400 horsepower. That engine pairs with a 4L60 four-speed automatic transmission. The suspension uses a Ridetech Air Ride system that allows the car to lower for display or raise for highway comfort. The car also includes modern disc brakes, power steering, and air conditioning.
The interior combines period-correct red upholstery with modern elements including a Dakota Digital gauge cluster and a multi-speaker sound system. The exhaust is stainless-steel Borla.
The 1961 Impala's original engine options ranged from a six-cylinder to a 348-cubic-inch V8 producing up to 350 horsepower. The restomod's LS2 displaces six liters and adds 50 additional horsepower compared to the most powerful original offering.
