1961 Chevy Impala Convt SS
Ok I'm on a wild goose chase but here goes. My father inlaw had a 61 Impala convt SS 348 4sp light blue. He owned the car mid 60s in Evanston Il. The car was in Hot Rod Mag in early 60s Top G stock car? The name of the the car was Miss Fortune. I am trying to find any info on the car or a copy of Hot Rod mag with the car in it. I know alot of you guys where around this area back then so mabe you remember the car or have a copy of article. Would really like to find the car and get back to him or at the very least see it again. He bought the car and than found out that he and my mother inlaw where having a baby so you all konw what happened the car had to go. Thanks guys.

Re: 1961 Chevy Impala Convt SS
I'm sure Verne could expand...but without paperwork...I would be suspicious of any 61 that is being touted as a real Super Sport. Especially a convertible. This car is damn nice...I have no idea if it's real or not. Rick...do you have any old papers on the car showing what VIN it was or pics of it ???

Re: 1961 Chevy Impala Convt SS
Yes Bob I will try to post them when he gets them out of storge. I asked him if he has any paper work left from the car and he thinks there maybe some with the pictures. Should have more this weekend. Thanks again for any help. Like I said it would be great to find it and at the very least let him get to see it again.

Re: 1961 Chevy Impala Convt SS
Why do people refer to the 409 as a "truck engine"? Was there ever a 409 factory-installed in a truck?
