UP FOR AUCTION IS A 1961 CHEVROLET IMPALA CONVERTIBLE. THIS CAR HAS BEEN IN MY FAMILY SINCE THE MID-SIXTIES & BEEN PARKED IN MY BARN LOST IN TIME FOR THE LAST 40 YEARS OR SO. AS YOU CAN SEE, SHE NEEDS A COMPLETE RESTORATION. THE QUARTERS NEED ALL LOWER PATCH PANELS, ROCKERS NEED REPLACEMENT & FENDERS NEED PATCH PANELS. PART OF THE RR WHEEL HOUSES NEED REPLACEMENT. AS I SEE IT, THE TRUNK INTERIOR & FLOORS LOOK PRETTY GOOD. FLOORS ALSO LOOK PRETTY GOOD BUT THE CENTER BRACES NEED REPLACEMENT. ALTHOUGH THE PICTURES DON'T SHOW IT, ALL THE SIDE GLASS IS IN THE CAR WITH THE WINDOWS BEING ALL ROLLED DOWN. THE CAR IS WHITE WITH A FAWN SIDE STRIPE & FAWN INTERIOR WHICH ARE FACTORY COLORS. I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS RARE COLOR COMBO BEFORE. THE MOTOR IS A 283 V-8 2 BARREL ENGINE WITH A 2-SPEED POWERGLIDE AUTO TRANS. I DIDN'T CHECK IF THE BLOCK IS SEIZED BUT I KNOW THAT THE CAR RAN EXCEPTIONALLY GOOD AT THE END DESPITE IT'S CRAPPY BODY. MY DAD EVEN STARTED THE CAR ONCE IN A WHILE FOR THE LONGEST TIME AFTER IT WASN'T USED ANYMORE JUST SO IT WOULD BE RUN. PLEASE SAVE EVERYBODY PROBLEMS...PLEASE DON'T BID UNLESS YOU REALLY WANT TO BUY. YOU, OR A THIRD PARTY ARE WELCOME TO SEE/INSPECT THE CAR BEFORE YOU BID. $1000 NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT DUE WITHIN 2 DAYS OF AUCTIONS END. BALANCE TO BE IN CASH OR CHECK ON OR BEFORE CAR IS PICKED UP.
