This auction is for a 1961 Chevrolet Impala Convertible. A good friend of mine owns the car and asked if I would list it for him as he does not have a computer. I will give you as accurate a description as I can from what I was told and how I see the car. My friends name is Larry. He purchased this car in 1998. It originally came from Florida and was a Greg Donahue Inc Restoration that was done in Clearwater Florida. According to some of the old reciepts I have the restoration started in 1981 and work was performed up until 1984. The reciepts show a lot of mechanical repair work and other types of restoration that was done to the car in that time frame. Of course that was then and this is now. We have the Florida Title and also the factory window sticker. It shows the dealer that sold the car new was Don Allen Chevrolet Miami Florida. Final assembly point was Norwood Ohio. Equipment included 348 Cubic Inch 305 HP, 3 Speed Manual HD Transmission, Antenna's Rear Right/Left, AM Radio, Modulated Fan With Clutch, Glareshade Windshield, Door Edge Gaurds, Door Filler Gaurd, Non Glare Inside Rear View Mirror, Outside Rear View Mirror, Front Bumper Grill Gaurd, Door Handle Shields, Push Button Windshield Washer, (5) 8.00X14 WSW Tires, Heavy Duty Clutch and Heavy Duty Suspension Included With 348. In one of the reciepts it shows a 2 door hardtop parts car and the the running gear from that car was freshend up and put into this car. So it still has a 348 1961 motor "F" code which is correct for the car. Also somewhere along the line a factory vaccum release for the trunk was installed. Also has fender skirts, front and rear bumper gaurds and the fancy little pull for the front of the hood. The car was always a red car. The trim code is 874 and the paint code is 923. The car had 2 tires that were getting down so he just put 2 new ones on the front to match the others. Has all T3 headlights. The body on the car is very straight down both sides. Very solid undercarrige. Nice frame. All body mounts, floors, braces, etc in great condition. I did notice a minor fix to one floor brace on the drivers side and also 2 minor fixes on the bottom rear quarter lip (very minor). Trunk is in nice condition. Does need some touch up on the spackle. Has factory type under coat. Paint is driver quality and would probably take a nice buff and clean. There is a good size scratch on top of the passenger front fender. Also a couple of scrapes on the side of the fender. Just scratched through the layers of paint, no gouges. Will need to be sanded down and blended. The rest of the paint on the car is fine. All the stainless is in decent shape. Front bumper center section had some blemishes so he is including a N.O.S. center that he purchased. Also included is a 3X2 BBL intake (tri power) no other hardware, factory convertible boot and a complete used Power Steering set up from a 61 Impala incase you want to convert it. Interior in the car is in decent shape just needs a good cleaning. Top is in good shape. Needs cleaning. Just had a new back window with zipper installed. Top goes up and down fine. The car just came out of lengthy storage and just needs a little sprucing up. Runs and drives great! The only reason for selling is Larry has a chance to purchase a piece of property that he has been after for a while. The sale of the car will help fund that purchase. If you have any questions please email or call us at 1-207-324-5568 Days or 1-207-432-2862 Eves and Sundays

Are you the 2014 Corvette Grand Sport?
Thu, 21 Feb 2013When are stripes more than just stripes? Follow up question: Is the product development team at Chevrolet really cocky enough to hide the next C7 Corvette variant in plain sight? This very recently spotted, and ostensibly obscured C7 asks a lot more questions than it answers, but there's at least some evidence to support that it might be the next Corvette Grand Sport.
The first and most obvious tip-off that something is up with this 'Vette revolves around those silver stripes. Obviously the stripes themselves don't necessarily denote a new model. However, when Chevy recently launched its "colorizer" website for the Stingray, there was no provision made for racing stripes - solid colors only.
Grand Sport exhibit number two is actually an incriminating lack of badges. The production Corvettes we've seen to date have all carried Stingray badges on their fenders, just behind the vent. The car seen in these images has no such badges, which is an intriguing omission on an car that looks like a production-spec vehicle otherwise.
2013 Chevy COPO Camaro announced with two new engines and manual option
Thu, 07 Mar 2013Chevrolet is following up the 2012 COPO Camaro with another limited run of the drag-strip-ready production car for 2013. Ditching the superchargers, the 2013 COPO Camaro can only be equipped with one of three naturally aspirated V8 engines, and other new features include the option of a manual transmission, new front springs, some minor styling changes and a lower starting price of $86,000. All cars are designed to abide by the rules of the NHRA's Stock Eliminator or Super Stock classifications, depending on in which series buyers wish to enter their Chevrolet Camaro.
Returning for 2013 is the 427-cubic-inch V8 producing 425 horsepower, but the new engines include a 325-hp 350-CID V8 and a 375-hp 396-CID V8. Buyers can select to purchase all three engines, and each will be matched with the sequence number of that car; the track-only COPO cars will not have vehicle identification numbers and can't be registered for street use.
Chevrolet is also offering unique enthusiast-specific options such as a COPO Build Book and the opportunity for owners to help assemble their car's engine at the Chevrolet Performance Build Center in Wixom, MI.
2014 Chevrolet Cruze TD fires up its new diesel motor
Thu, 07 Feb 2013Ever since General Motors confirmed plans to produce a diesel-powered Cruze back in 2011, we've been eagerly awaiting its arrival. And as part of the 2013 Chicago Auto Show, Chevrolet has pulled back the cover on its oil-burning compact sedan, set to go on sale in the near future with a starting price of $25,695, not including $810 for destination.
The heart and soul of the Cruze TD (that's its official name) is a 2.0-liter turbo-diesel inline four-cylinder engine rated at 148 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, mated solely to a six-speed automatic transmission. The engine also has an overboost function that will increase torque to 280 lb-ft for up to ten seconds. The full brace of official specs haven't been released, but GM tells us that highway fuel economy will come in at 42 miles per gallon. If that number sounds familiar, it's because the Volkswagen Jetta TDI has the exact same rating. Unlike the Jetta, however, the Cruze TD can run on B20 biodiesel, where as the Volkswagen can only accept B5.
Model-specific changes to this 2014 Cruze TD include an aero kit and unique 17-inch alloy wheels. Inside, there's a full leather interior, and Chevrolet will provide two years of complimentary scheduled maintenance, not to mention a 100,000-mile powertrain warranty.
