HERE IS A VERY ORIGINAL 1960 CHEVY IMPALA 2 DOOR HARDTOP WITH STRONG RUNNING 283CI 4BBL. WITH RARE 3 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION IN BEAUTIFUL IVORY WHITE WITH RED STRIPE THAT IS TURN-KEY AND READY TO DRIVE ANYWHERE!

Please e-mail me with questions or to set up an inspection to see the car in person. AUCTION MAY BE STOPPED AT ANY TIME.

Vehicle came out of Mass. Previous owner has had the car for quite some time and was slowly restoring it in his garage in his spare time. Recently, vehicle was sanded down to bare metal and repainted professionally, then wetsanded and buffed out. Interior is nearly all new, including door panels, carpet, headliner, seat foam and seat covers. Engine bay was cleaned up and dressed up with some chrome, motor and transmission were tuned, brakes were serviced, new exhaust/mufflers installed, new gas tank installed, etc etc. Overall there have been countless hours spent on this car and it is still not perfect, but a very nice high end driver.

Body is VERY STRAIGHT with excellent original gaps. Doors open and close nicely. 

OPTIONS:

Manual steering

Manual drum brakes

AM Radio

14" steel wheels with correct hubcaps wearing whitewall radial tires

Fender skirts

Dual exhaust

Bench seat interior

Under the hood lies a mostly stock factory original 283ci V8 with an upgraded 4bbl. intake and carburetor and a RARE 3 speed manual transmission on the column. Mechanically it fires right up and sounds great along with the nice and throaty dual Flowmaster style exhaust system. Transmission is solid and shifts good without any noises or grinding and clutch is still good. I drive the car about once every other week for short trips around down or every once in a while I'll take it to a cruise night on the highway. It has never let me down and always performs great. 

Interior is basically ALL NEW. Seats were redone professionally (new and correct seat foam), NEW carpet all around, NEW door panels, NEW kick panels, NEW headliner (could be tightened up a little more), good dash that has been repainted original red. Overall beautifully presentable for a high end driver.

The old girl is NOT perfect by any means of course so please keep that in mind when bidding. Paint is in VERY GOOD shape throughout, but it is NOT a $20k paintjob, so it will have minor imperfections here and there upon close examination. Body is very straight but does have some filler by lower doors, rockers and lower fenders, while rear lower quarters had metal patch panels installed. Chrome bumpers and outer trim could use upgrading/replacing throughout to bring the car up to the next level (same for inner trim like window cranks, dash trim and smaller pieces like that). Missing: spare/jack, sunvisors, rear seat emblem. Not working: couple of gauges work on/off and not accurate (speedometer needs new cable), may need a bulb or two replaced here and there, radio (not connected), horn. Underside has had some sheetmetal patches by rear floorboards (old floors weren't cut out yet), they are solid but should be redone with stock panels. Trunk floor also has a patch by center section, but very solid. All weatherstripping should be replaced. 

So overall she is not perfect and will need some form of TLC depending on how nice you want it to be and what you plan to do with the car. Please note, I cannot remember every single issue with the car, nor do I know everything wrong with it, as it is after all over 50 years old so keep that in mind.

If you just want a GREAT LOOKING TURN-KEY DRIVER then this is the car for you. If you want a show car, it will need some work to bring it up to that level of course. I ENCOURAGE ANYONE BIDDING OR SERIOUSLY INTERESTED TO COME LOOK AT IT IN PERSON. I WILL BE GLAD TO SHOW IT TO YOU TOP TO BOTTOM SO YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE GETTING INTO.

2015 Chevrolet Cruze spied on its home turf

Tue, 23 Apr 2013

The next Chevrolet Cruze isn't set to go into production for about another year, and we're just now seeing prototypes of the new compact running around here in the States. Not much more has been revealed since we saw the car blasting through the snow in Europe, but we can still clearly see new design elements like the larger grille, slimmer headlamps and redesigned taillamps.
Our spy photographers worked up a composite image of this Cruze prototype alongside the current model, and here, we can clearly see some big visual changes are in store for the new model. The 2015 Cruze's hood slopes downward more dramatically, the windshield is more heavily raked, and the roofline looks more fluid overall. The next-generation Cruze will ride on the new global Delta platform that will also underpin other General Motors vehicles like the Chevrolet Volt and Equinox.
As for what's under the hood, we expect the normal range of gasoline four-cylinder engines (both naturally aspirated and turbocharged), and the compact's new turbodiesel four should carry over, as well. Have a look at the full brace of spy photos in the gallery above.

GM recalling over 243,000 crossovers over possible seat belt defect

Tue, 17 Aug 2010

2010 Buick Enclave - Click above for high-res image gallery
The summer of 2010's recall hit parade continues unabated today, with General Motors having just announced that it is asking 243,403 owners of its 2009-2010 Lambda crossovers to bring their three-row haulers in for inspection. The culprit? Second-row seat belts in select Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Saturn Outlook CUVs have "failed to perform properly in a crash."
According to GM, a second-row seat-side trim piece is to blame, as it can impede the upward rotation of the buckle after the seat is folded flat. As a result, if the buckle makes contact with the seat frame, cosmetic damage can occur, potentially requiring additional force to operate the buckle properly. So far, no great shakes, but in the process of applying that additional force, the occupant may push the buckle cover down to the strap, potentially revealing and depressing the red release button. As a result of this, the belt may not latch, or in certain cases, it may actually appear to be latched when, in fact, it isn't.

New Bright creating exclusive 1:8 scale radio-controlled C7 Corvette

Mon, 04 Feb 2013

If you want a new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette but can't quite save up enough pennies for the monthly payment, we have good news for you. Toymaker New Bright has pulled the covers off of its 1:8 scale remote-controlled version of the American sports car. Complete with a very detailed interior and LED headlights, this large-scale R/C is as close as most of us will ever come to having one of the menacing Chevrolet models to call our very own. New Bright still hasn't released pricing or availability, but word has it the coupe should hit the market soon.
Right now, it appears as if the C7 will hit shelves in Torch Red, though we don't know if other colors are planned as well. The good news is that New Bright isn't exactly turning its back on the old C6 - representatives say the company will continue to make its popular C6R racecar for those who prefer round taillights.
