1961 Bubble Top Chevy Project Car

Sweet 61. Go get it before I do, lol.

[@normaninsandiego7061]

The 1961 Impalas were my favorite. There's nothing like a Turbo Fire with Powerglide.

[@indyme2]

They are one of my favorites too. Wish I could save this one, Would look awesome is my yard. lol. Thanks for stopping in and leaving us a comment!

[@AllenOxendine]

Thanks for sharing.. Returning Support with Full View and Like. So many cars out there that need to be saved. Don't you wish you could save them all lol

[@indyme2]

Wish I could save them all but having a hard time saving any, lol.

[@recreepy]

If I could give this video a crown, I would.

[@indyme2]

Thank you. It's a sweet car. Hope someone gives it a rescue soon.

[@popup1959]

Nice find. She's pretty good for being that old. Man. I'd like to look around that lot there! 👍

[@indyme2]

Ron's inventory changes constantly. Don't know how he moves so many cars. Always an adventure to stop in there. Hope you get a chance to also.

[@cdradmaker]

That's a beautiful old car! Definitely a good project car.

[@indyme2]

I'm with you. Needs a save. Thanks for watching.

[@tedquaker954]

Save Me!! Another nice find you guys. Take care.

[@indyme2]

Dang. I forgot about the Save Me thing. Brain phart, lol. Thanks for leaving us a comment, Ted.

[@cannednolan8194]

Agree the bubble top are good looking.

[@indyme2]

Yes Sir. If I wasn't already over loaded with projects I would jump on this one. I would just get it mechanically safe, throw some more blankets over the seats, floor patches and drive as is for a while. Thanks for stopping in!

[@peterhodges6684]

She's all there !! Nice project, I like it !!

[@indyme2]

Thanks, Mr. Hodges. Hope someone will put her back on the road soon.

[@tedpetrimoulx3330]

Hell of a find there.

[@indyme2]

I agree. It's sweet. Hope it gets a rescue. Thanks for watching, Ted.

[@flankerroad7414]

Wow....that's a great project!!

[@indyme2]

I agree. Wouldn't take a lot of work or money to get this one back on the road. Thanks for watching!

[@ceedell]

Always fun to see what's there! Thanks Jerry and Happy New Year to the Rust Ranch!

[@indyme2]

Thanks for watching, Wendell. Still waiting for you to move this way. The work is getting behind, lol.

[@johnnywooten7199]

A real nice car to build Jerry makes me wish I hadn't sold my 62 impala SS , I've been over at Ron Ayers he usually has a lot to look at that's for sure .

[@indyme2]

It's sweet. A 62, especially a bubble top, is awesome! I'm sure you wish you still had it. Make mine a 66 SS Impala in red, please. Lol. Thanks for stopping in, Johnny.

[@huck01955]

Very nice car . I would be happy with just your Nova lol . I wish I could find a Nova like yours around me for a fair price .

[@indyme2]

Working on a 327 for the Nova today. Keep changing my mind on what I want to put in it. Will get it going one day soon, Joe. Hope all is well in your neck of the woods.

[@가수박윤Tv119]

Very nice video ❤

[@billharden7127]

Nice.

[@indyme2]

Thanks, Bill. Hope it gets a rescue.

[@ZovkoJoseph-wq8pd]

Fabulous Car

[@indyme2]

I agree. Thank you for watching.

[@bernandoturner4840]

Solid or not’ this ❤️Car here, you do a frame off restoration.😀

[@indyme2]

Hope someone gets this car and puts it back on the road, Bernando. Too solid to sit in a yard and go bad. Thanks for stopping in.

[@danielrivera5858]

Nice

[@indyme2]

Thanks for stopping in, Daniel.

[@oldcarzrule2527]

I know you’ve done a few videos at Classic Cars of SC so I thought you should know that on almost every vehicle description on their website says they are closing and the cars must go. I don’t know whether it’s true. But I thought of your channel when I saw that. Here’s to hoping they stay around longer!

[@indyme2]

It's true. Was at Ron's last week and he confirmed the "pending" sale. He is going to re-open at his house with fewer cars as he has less land there. Going into semi-retirement but now giving up the gig completely. Will miss this location but frontage road property along I-385 is big $$$.Thanks for the info.

[@oldcarzrule2527]

@@indyme2 What a shame. It seems the killer of old junkyards is high property value and retirement.Is he selling the property, business, or both?

[@79tazman]

That back glass has to be leaking in order for that rust hole to be up high in the trunk because thy usually don't rust there unless the back window leaks and if it leaks there may be some unseen rust around the back window but for the age of that car it's in good shape find a Bel air or Biscayne parts car and you b set

[@indyme2]

I agree with your observation. Never seen one that doesn't leak at that back glass when it gets that old. I'm sure who ever buys it will know enough to make the repairs. Thanks for watching!

[@dewain50]

Power steering is the slave cylinder type in the linkage not on the box.

[@indyme2]

Yes Sir. You are correct. It's just like the factory installed PS on my 67 Nova. You have a sharp eye Mr. Dewain. Thank you for watching.

[@johnnix862]

How.....MUCH.

[@indyme2]

Not sure, John. That car had just arrived and it was not marked on the windshield. Call Ron. He has the title work complete now and will have it priced. Or check online at his web site. Should be listed there. Thanks for watching.

[@GMCTIM]

Had a guy wanting to trade his bubble top for my 46 chevy coupe & I wouldn't trade him ! There beautiful cars but no I'm good !

[@indyme2]

I would probably have made the same decision. I would be tempted if it was a 62 bubble top or biscayne. Thanks for watching, Tim.

[@jerrypolk5909]

Another nice find. A place I worked at years ago as maintenance mechanic on the third shift the shift supervisor was redoing a 64 and he needed a lot of parts for it. Since I supported the machine shop I had access to the shop and you would be surprised how many custom parts were made at night. It helped me too, he couldn't say much when I was making something for my cars. Are you going to let this one follow you home, you need a few more projects. Talk to you later.

[@davidpancerev9658]

Manual steering kinda sux, Lots of potential, requires much elbow grease. Aluminum case PG tranny was intro for 1963, I believe. And these cars were notorious for floorboard rust-out.

[@indyme2]

Thanks for stopping in, David.

[@edsyphan3425]

If its in your way, I’ll take it away.

[@indyme2]

Lol. I was thinking the same thing. Thanks for watching!

[@guillermojimenez7307]

Where that car at

[@indyme2]

Near Greenville, South Carolina. Thanks for watching.
