1959 Chevrolet Impala
Convertible

** NO RESERVE ** 

Description: This car came from the factory as a red on red V8, automatic. This car is in very rough condition, it has rust and dents and is not a project for the faint of heart. To make it simple and avoid the risk of disappointing the new owner, lets just say it needs everything. If when you get it its better than described then that's a bonus. 

Reason for selling: I bought this car as part of a package that included 5-59 Impala Convertibles, a 59 Impala 2 door hardtop, and a 59 Biscayne Sedan. I was only after one highly optioned Convertible, but to get it I have to buy them all. Unless I live to be over 300 I won't have time to do them all so I'm keeping 1 and the rest will go on ebay over the winter.

Mechanical: There is no motor or transmission, the rear end is there and the car rolls, the frame is in good condition for the year, and it steers.

Body: The body is rough, the floors are rusty as are the body panels, the folding top is complete, the windshield trim inside and out is complete and the pinch weld molding that the convertible boot snaps to is there. This car has 1 piece bumpers front and rear.

Interior: The interior is rough (whats left of it)

Notice: The wheels, tires and hubcaps are not included, it will come with roller wheels, There are many parts that go with the car (too many to list) that are not shown in the pictures, but again for simplicity bid only on what you see in the pictures, what ever else comes with the car is a bonus.

Overall: 1959 Impala Convertibles are worth a fortune and as such I think this car is worth putting back together again. I've seen what people are asking for convertible specific 1959 parts and realistically I would do very well parting it out, but I don't have the heart to chop the car up.If you are not familiar with what these cars bring do your homework and check it out $50,00.00 seems about average with a well restored cars at around $110,000.00. Its hard to restore a car and make money but with a 59 convertible its possible.
If your looking for a project car that won't cost more than your house to complete but will be an actual investment than this may be the car for you. I'm offering it unreserved because I'm serious about selling it, I have too many and so some have to go. 

Location: The car is located just outside of Salmon Arm, British Columbia, about 3 hours from the US border. If you are a buyer from outside of Canada I will help with importation as I am familiar with US and overseas procedure for importation. I can in many cases help arrange a shipper, but this is time consuming so I will only try to get a quote for the winning bidder. 

Payment: Cash in person or bank to bank wire transfer is acceptable. Payment must be received within 7 days of the close of the auction NO EXCEPTIONS. I can store the car at no charge for several months if needed. 

 Scammers: I've heard it all don't waste my time or yours.

If you have less than 10 feedback please contact me after you bid so I can confirm that you are in fact a serious buyer

Thanks for looking!!!

Watch how Corvette Racing's new collision-avoidance radar system works

Fri, 22 Mar 2013

When it comes to technology used in racecars, we generally expect it to trickle down to production cars, not the other way around. Well, Pratt & Miller has developed a new rear-facing radar that operates in a similar fashion to what we're used to in modern blind spot detection systems, only it is also capable of tracking cars as they approach and relaying vital information to the driver via a large display screen.
The innovative radar system debuted at last weekend's 12 Hours of Sebring for Corvette Racing, and this system makes perfect sense for endurance races like this since the cars sometimes have to drive through the night and in poor weather conditions.
The radar can detect cars even with poor visibility, and uses easy-to-distinguish symbols for the driver to identify.

Corvette Stingray Convertible images mysteriously appear on web, so we add our own

Tue, 22 Jan 2013

It was inevitable that we'd see the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray topless at some point, but that didn't make us any less interested when a pair of supposedly leaked official images showed up on theautoinsiderblog.com last week. We posted them on our Facebook page, but held off reporting on them here until we could get a little more information.
Those images, which feature a dark red car on a sterile black studio background, supposedly first appeared on the website of diecast model maker Maisto. A Chevrolet spokesman has been reported saying that they are "not official images released by Chevrolet PR," which isn't a denial they're the real deal, but neither is it a confirmation.
Close examination of the photos suggest they could be official shots of the Corvette Stingray Convertible, and while some have doubted their authenticity due to a lack of vents (which were seen on the C7s that debuted in Detroit last week), it could be that the images are of a base model car without the Z51 package that doesn't require the extra venting and cooling.

GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable

Fri, 21 Sep 2012

General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
