Wife says my 59 Impala must go! Bought it with the idea of making it a fun family cruiser but it turned out to be more than I can handle. The good: it is an original California car which means the frame is a little stouter and you get the solid one piece bumpers. Best I can tell the 59 Chevy X frame is solid. The bumpers are very good and probably worth more than the starting price of my auction. It has an original 283 small block dated 1959 and I have no reason to believe it has ever been out of the car. Appears to be the original cast iron 2 speed powerglide transmission. Most of the trim is there and being stainless, it's in good shape-especially around the windows. Most of the glass is good with the exception on the windshield which has a crack. The doors shut very solidly. Doors, door handles are pretty solid and some of the sheetmetal appears ok. The bad: the trunk, one rear floor pan and one front floor pan are gone and will need to be replaced. I had intended to replace the floors but its more than I want to tackle. A lot of body rust in the rear quarters and trunk. The radiator and some of the parts under the hood are not there so I never actually turned it over to see if it would start. I found a bunch of receipts that show engine tune ups and brake work so I know it ran about 10 years ago! I painted the valve covers when I thought i might use them on another car. It has the deluxe heater for 59 vs the two lever version and all parts appear to be there for the heater. I never had a battery in it so cant be sure what works and what doesn't. The dash gauge clusters are missing as well. Easy enough to locate on ebay (in fact I saw the complete set and correct color on there today). Will need complete interior but all seats are there and appear to still have original torn covers from '59. In parts alone its probably worth twice my starting bid but I don't have the time or energy to strip it and I still think it would make a cool cruiser or rat rod. Buyer must arrange for pick up and I'm certainly willing to help load her up. Thanks and good luck.

Automakers score 8 out of top 20 most-watched ads on YouTube [w/videos]
Fri, 14 Dec 2012Who would have ever thought there'd be a day where people are able to skip television commercials only to go to websites to watch them later? Such is the joy of a DVR and YouTube. AdWeek tabulated the 20 most-watched ads on YouTube, and found that nine were car-related including eight coming from automakers.
Volkswagen continued its Star Wars theme with two ads in the top 20, including the highest-ranking car commercial The Bark Side spot at number three with almost 18 million views, which doesn't even have a single car in it. Some of our favorites are from Chrysler with Clint Eastwood in It's Halftime in America and House Arrest with Charlie Sheen for the Fiat 500 Abarth. Chevrolet, Honda, Audi and Toyota were the other automakers in the top 20, but we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention one of the coolest ads on the list, the Hot Wheels corkscrew jump.
Of all the car videos, only the Fiat ad wasn't played during a Super Bowl. Check out all eight videos - in order - after the jump. Nike took the top spot with its My Time is Now ad that has been seen online more than 20 million times with Pepsi's Uncle Drew posted up in the runner-up; some of the other videos include four Old Spice commercials and an ad in which Snoop Dogg is pedaling Hot Pockets.
GM recalls Chevy Express, GMC Savana over rollaway concern
Mon, 21 Jan 2013The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall notice for a small number of General Motors fullsize vans due to possible rollaway concerns. On certain 2013 Chevrolet Express and 2013 GMC Savana models, it is possible to remove the key from the ignition without the shifter being in park.
Only 980 total units are being affected by this recall, and GM is fixing the issue by replacing the ignition cylinder and associated keys. Affected Chevy vans were built during most of November and December while its GMC counterpart was only built for a week in November. The recall goes into effect on January 23, and to find out if your vehicle applies to the recall, the GM and NHTSA contact numbers can be found on the official recall notice, which is posted below.
Chevy Corvette Stingray "colorizer" lets you chase the rainbow
Thu, 14 Feb 2013After you've convinced your better half to let you buy a new Corvette, then comes the hard part... actually figuring out which 'Vette you want. While Chevrolet has yet to release the official configurator for the 2014 Corvette Stingray, it did give us something else to kill some time playing around with.
The C7 Corvette "colorizer" recently went online, and it lets you look at the car in all of its available colors and wheel options from four different angles so that when this car does go on sale, you know exactly which one you want. It includes the Corvette's full pallet of colors including Torch Red, Laguna Blue and the hue you see above, Velocity Yellow. Toss in the black wheels, and we're sold. If you have some time this afternoon, be sure to check it out the Corvette colorizer for yourself, and even if you don't have the time, we've put together a gallery with all of the possible color combinations.
