  • I'd have to see the build sheet (window sticker) to believe

    that it came from the factory with a 409. Only a few Impalas

    came with the 409 (SS) engines. I'll go to the crematory

    knowing that!

  • Your wrong.

  • I thought the only '61 SS was the Impala?

    I also thought that the Belair had a pillar / no hard top.

  • I'm sure someone will buy it but is is not original. Correct, '61 Impala SS,s were the only ones to get the 409 although the SS could have other engines. No dual 4 bbl. It was a single 4bbl w/360 hp. I believe the Sun Tach came with the 409 and optional otherwise. Funny how things work out. By '63 you could get a 340hp hydraulic lifter 409 with a Powerglide, dressed in chrome, in your Station Wagon if you wanted. I wouldn't mind one of them now!

  • The 409 came out mid year 1961,was a bored out 348 at first.The 1961 409s did not hold up in Nascar due to the block being a bored out 348.The 1961 Impala are not the desired Impalas,most did not like the bubble top.No automatic either,a 4 speed which the automatic would not hold up

  • Only the Impala SS's got the 409!!!

  • Sun Tach Yes.. But 2 4barrels were NA. in 61 .. Still a nice car though

  • @1955RodHot Amen.

  • better get your facts right you are all wrong.

  • Hey jackass!! They did in fact come the the Sun 8k tach! Get your facts straight.
