At 340 HP and 420 lb-ft of torque, this 1963 Chevrolet Impala station wagon was one of the most deceptively quick grocery getters of its generation. Today it is also one of the most highly optioned 409 CI V-8 powered wagons known to exist. Stored indoors for a quarter century, it combines Chevrolet’s fabled “W”-head big block engine – complete with 4-barrel carburetor and dual exhaust – with a sturdy Powerglide 2-speed automatic transmission and a Positraction rear axle for solid, reliable performance around town and on the open road. Finished in Marine Aqua with a White roof and sporting the spacious, crisply styled interior that helped make the early Sixties Impalas so popular with the motoring public, this is one very classy automobile that further benefits visually with the inclusion of full size spinner wheel covers, Whitewall tires, front grille guard and Blue tinted glass all around. Oh yes – and those “409” crossed-flag front fender badges, too. The Impala was available with a long list of optional equipment that has been taken full advantage of in this example. Mechanical extras include power steering, power brakes and factory air conditioning, while the interior is accessorized with a padded dash, power windows and seats, a power tailgate and push-button radio. That is a lot of car, but it typifies the abundance of style and functionality embodied in the 1963 Impala, and with a believed-accurate 39,500 miles on the odometer, it still has many years of enjoyment to offer its next proud owner.

Why the Corvette is Chevrolet's billion-dollar baby
Thu, 28 Feb 2013Edmunds has worked up a piece that tries to figure out just how much the global Chevrolet Corvette economy is worth, a spitballed guesstimate putting the number at more than $2.5 billion with the proviso that the number is probably low. It starts by taking Corvette's new car sales of 14,132 units last year, which would equate to $714,725,900 (including destination) assuming ever car sold was a base coupe with no options. In the final tally, a little extra padding gets that number up to $750,000,000.
But that's not all. Consider this: Many of the almost 1.4 million Corvettes produced over the model's history are still on the road. There are new parts being produced and aftermarket companies like Mid-America Motorworks deaing business, that single Illinois company doing more than $40 million a year in sales. There are the Corvette events large and small, restorers who do nothing but Corvettes, salvage yards that deal only in used Corvette parts and the Corvette magazines where owners find all this stuff.
And then there are the Corvette-themed tchotchkes, every single one of which provides a tiny contribution to the huge licensing royalties that General Motors collects every year. The article admits there's no way to come to an accurate number, but it just goes to show how valuable one specific model can be to a company.
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.
GM recalling 118K Colorado, Canyon pickups over missing hood latches
Thu, 20 Dec 2012General Motors has announced a recall of 118,800 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon pickup trucks due to the possibility of secondary hood latches not being installed at the time of manufacture. The affected vehicles are from the 2010, 2011 and 2012 model years, all of which were built between November 9, 2009 and August 28, 2012.
According to the official National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report, these trucks fail to "comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 113, 'Hood Latch System.' The hood may be missing the secondary hood latch." In other words, owners of these trucks could find their vehicles' hoods opening unexpectedly while driving.
The official recall campaign is expected to begin on January 17, 2013. Dealers will inspect the affected pickups and if a secondary hood latch is not present, one will be installed free of charge. Scroll down to read the official NHTSA report.
