Described here is a 1960 Chevrolet Impala Convertible, 283 V-8 engine with 4-BBL Carb and dual exhaust. This car was purchase in North Carolina in 2009 and registered in California in April 2011. The car had been stored outside for a period of time prior to being aquired by the owner I purchase the car from, he had stored the car in his garage for a period of time. The car had some rust and frame on restoration was started shortly after I received the car. The floor pans were all replaced including the ones under the rear seat, the trunk floor was also replaced. Repair work was also done on the rocker panels including replacing the other skins and repairing the rails underside, lower quarter panel work was also done. Additional, repair work was done to the rear section of the car which had some collision damage. The frame was cleaned and painted while the floor pans were removed. The car was repainted with original white Acrylic Lacquer paint, paint code GM 936, (Artic White). The interior dash and other metal parts were painted in red as the original. The 283 V8 engine was completely rebuilt and the 2-Speed Powerglide transmission was rebuilt as well, a new seal was installed in the standard rear end. This is a matching numbers car to my knowledge. Dual exhaust was installed although not on the car originally from the factory. This is the only major modification that was done to the car, other than that, the car is completely standard, no other modifications at all. The entire interior was replaced with red/white houndstooth design sold as a kit. Door side and vent window glass were replaced while the windshield and quarter window glass were cleaned and retained. Door, trunk and convertible top seals were replaced and a new black top was installed. The push button radio works well, but I was not able to hook up the rear seat back speaker. The car was registered for the first time in California in April, 2011. I estimate that the car has been driven less than 2k miles since restoration work was completed at that time. The DMV registration records from North Carolina show that the car has had only one registered owner before, this owner had the car registered for about ten years starting from the time the car was purchased new in 1959, accordingly, I am the second registered owner. The car rides very well and has plenty of power, it looks beautiful and driving it on the road turns many heads and I receive many thumbs up. On parking lots people stop and ask questions, many from the older generation say that they, a friend or a family member, used to own one of these, I ask where is it now? and why did you get rid of it?, there is usually no answer. The reason I am selling this car is that I am running out of space on my property. I have bought several other cars like it that I restore as a hobby, so something has to go. Please let me know if you have any questions about the car, I will be sure to get back to you as soon as possible.

Chevy Corvette Stingray picks up another award, this time from Automobile
Mon, 18 Nov 2013The new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray has picked up another buff book accolade after capturing Road and Track's Performance Car of the Year award. The seventh-generation of America's sports car (sorry Viper, Mustang, et al.) has been named Automobile Magazine's Automobile of the Year.
Automobile's award to the Corvette over competitors is the mirror image of its rival Motor Trend, which named the Cadillac CTS its car of the year over the C7. The CTS was, according to the Automobile team, the closest contender to the mighty Stingray. Great news all around for General Motors it seems.
As for what pushed the Corvette past its distant, four-door cousin, Automobile commended its excellent, 6.2-liter V8 calling the car's performance "simply awesome" while also remarking that it is easier to drive fast than ever before thanks to steering and chassis tweaks. Following a theme set by other publications, there were also plaudits for the interior, of all things, with the buff book complimenting the car's ergonomics and material quality, while also praising the standard seats.
2014 Chevy Cruze Diesel arrives with 42 mpg for $25,695*
Thu, 07 Feb 2013The last time General Motors had a diesel passenger car in the US, it was the 1.8-liter 1986 Chevette. At the 2013 Chicago Auto Show today, GM is unveiling the much-anticipated 2014 Chevrolet Cruze Diesel. The compact bows with a 2.0-liter turbo-diesel four-cylinder engine that boasts 148 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, with full twist coming on at just 2,000 rpm. What's more, the common-rail, direct-injection diesel features an overboost function that allows the engine to deliver up to 280 lb-ft of torque for 10 seconds at a time. Even with 10 more horsepower and 110 more pound-feet of torque than the available turbocharged 1.4-liter four-cylinder in the Cruze, the 2.0-liter diesel engine can return up to 42 mpg (highway) bolted to its six-speed automatic transmission.
If you're counting, that figure meets the less powerful Cruze Eco with a six-speed manual transmission. More importantly, the auto transmission Cruze Diesel matches its main competition, the Volkswagen Jetta TDI, in highway fuel economy. The Cruze 2.0 TD (as it will be badged) can also handle up to 20 percent biodiesel (B20), whereas the Jetta is rated only for B5. General Motors has not released city fuel economy for its newest diesel, but we do know how much it will cost you to jump behind the driver's seat.
GM will kindly ask for $25,695, plus an $810 destination fee. That marks a $2,115 premium over a loaded Cruze LTZ Auto and $2,640 more than the Jetta TDI, though the MSRP will net you a leather interior, 17-inch alloy wheels and an Aero Performance Package, as well as a two-year maintenance plan and five-year, 100,000-mile powertrain warranty. Compared to the gas-powered Cruze, you also lose a couple cubic feet of rear cargo space thanks to a 17-liter diesel emission fluid tank. That urea fluid, which helps put the clean in clean diesel, will need to be refilled at least every 10,000 miles.
Chevrolet Malibu gets across-the-board price cuts, hopes to dig out of slump
Mon, 11 Feb 2013To say that things aren't going well for the newly redesigned 2013 Chevrolet Malibu is a pretty sizable understatement. Reports have been swirling about the Malibu getting an emergency design refresh, less than a year after its introduction, as well as having its production at the Fairfax Assembly Plant halted twice already this year for excessive inventory. Now, Motor Trend is reporting that the midsize sedan will be receiving price drops across the board ranging from $300 on a number of models up to $770 on the 1LT trim; offsetting some of MSRP drop, though, the destination charge has increased from $760 to $810.
Without destination, the entry-level Malibu LS now starts at $21,995, which is still about $300 more than a Honda Accord and about $300 less than the segment's top-selling Toyota Camry. This new pricing also drops the price of the Eco, 2LT and 3LT trims by $300. The LTZ trim has dropped by $415, meaning that the Malibu's top dog now starts at just under $30,000, excluding destination.
Here are the new starting prices for all eight of the Malibu trim levels compared to the previous prices for the 2013 model year (including destination):
