1961 Chevy Impala

We are here for you at MotoeXotica (SRS Enterprises, Inc.)Classic Cars and will ensure your online buying experience will be a pleasurable one from start to finish. We are now in our 10th year selling on Ebay with over 1,300 positive feedbacks! MotoeXotica was one of the Pioneer Classic Car dealers on Ebay and have seen a lot of dealers come and go. We have a brick and mortar 30,000 sq. ft. building on 5 acres in St. Louis, MO to serve you; we like to sell our cars the same way as we would like to purchase them, fairly and honestly. We ask for a nominal $500.00 credit card deposit and give you a 7 day grace period to inspect the car. If you find the car not to your liking we will refund your deposit with no questions asked should you get here and not like the vehicle.

We all know that the financial times right now are tough. With the stock market being so volatile and investments becoming less valuable, many people are turning to the classic car market to invest their money. Putting your money into a hard asset that you can enjoy everyday is becoming a very popular option, especially now when the marketplace is lower then it’s been in many years. We invite you to put your money into a vehicle that is fun to own and brings back memories of when you were younger.

We offer financing through two of the best lenders in the industry. If you visit www.jjbest.com or www.woodsidecredit.com they are currently offering very attractive rates for all collector and special interest automobiles. With loan amounts from $10,000 to $500,000, and flexible terms of up to 12 years, you can get financed for as low as 6.99%.

We have recently started to offer some of our cars at a Fixed "Buy It Now" Price on Ebay. If you would like to send us a reasonable offer, please feel free to do so by clicking on the blue "Make Offer" button. We will promptly get back to you with an answer. We have found that many people don't have the time of want to get involved in the auction process. We are hoping this will make it easier for you to purchase the car of your dreams!

The Impala was restyled on the existing GM B platform for 1961. The new body styling was more trim and boxy than the 1958-60 models. Sport Coupe models featured a "bubbletop" roofline style for '61, and a unique model, the 2-door pillared sedan, was available for 1961 only. It was rarely ordered and a scarce collectible today. The rare Super Sport (SS) option debuted for 1961 as well.

This particular car is one of those famed Bubbletop Impala’s. With a frame off restoration being completed in 1997, the car still retains a great look today. This car was purchased from us by a gentleman in Tennessee when the mileage showed only 69,000. He has put over 2,000 miles on it since, including a trip to Florida where he got 21 Miles Per Gallon! With a 700R4 transmission and 3.08 gears, this car was built to be driven comfortably at highway speeds.

The metallic black paint on the car is in great condition with no major flaws that we have found. The front and rear chrome bumpers look great along with all the steel and chrome trim going around the car. No major pitting to be found anywhere, grill included. The body is very solid with no bubbling and all the door shut tight with proper gaps.

Inside, the interior looks almost as good as when it was done in 1997. Seats, door panels, carpet and headliner are all in great condition with no major wear to be found. The dash is solid and painted nicely with no cracking. There has been an aftermarket AM/FM stereo installed in the car that works with no problems and sounds great. All lights, blinkers, horn, wipers work with no problems so this car is road ready. There has also been an aftermarket tachometer installed.

Under the hood, there is a 350 Cu In V that runs great. The car does have power steering, power brakes and A/C which works and blows cold! The engine compartment is nicely detailed and looks very good. With a turn of the key, the car starts right up and goes down the road very smooth and will cruise at 70 mph with no problems.

The wheels are newer as well as the white wall tires which have good tread life left on them. In the trunk, there is a full size spare as well as a jack. The floors are solid as well as the trunk with no rot that we have found to either. The current mileage shows 71,260 and the VIN number is 11837S153448. We are selling this car for a client of ours in Tennessee but the car is here at our location in St. Louis Missouri.
