An American Muscle Car of a bygone Era

The Chevrolet Impala (most notable model was the 1961 SS409)

 Marketed as a full-sized sedan with an unassuming profile, considered a "sleeper" car. The 1961 Impala Ss409 packed a whopping 409 ci. V-8 engine that did 13.58 seconds in a quarter mile traveling 105.88 miles per hour. It went from 0 to 60 miles per hour in under 6 seconds. The 409 ci. engine came with a single Carter four barrel carburetor that stock could generate up to 360 hp. and with a little hot rod tinkering it could be made to easily generate more than 400hp. Wow! 

The Chevrolet 409 ci. engine was the inspiration for the Beach Boys hit 409.
