Re: 1961 Chevy 409
This my first post here (hope it's ok to post here) this is a topic that is dear to me as I love any '61 automobile with a big motor. Not saying one of these cars doesn't exist but I think the earlier member that referred to the golden chicken lips might be close to being correct.
If you think about what is being discussed here, according to most records, Chevrolet only built 453 Super Sports, there were approx. 6000 Chevrolet dealers across the country in that time frame so think about the chances of any given dealer getting their hands on one. Then, they built 142 cars with the new 409 motor, these motors were installed in any of the big body cars and Chevrolet didn't keep records to show where these motors went. Just to find a '61 Chevrolet of any body style with a '61 409 motor would be outstanding but now we want it to be in the already super rare SS body. On top of all this, we are looking for it to be the original motor!!!!
Good luck!!!!
