Condition: Used: A vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections. ...

Parents have had this vehicle for over ten years, and what was once a project car is now too much to do for them now. Unfortunately, I live too far to help with the restoration and for them it's time to let it go.

Odometer says 10469. But do not know if that is 110469 or 210469. I'll have to review the clear title again to confirm.

Have a 1964 Impala Hardtop Coupe, 2-door. It has a crate motor 327, so it is not the original I have been told. Had the car looked over briefly and was told that the dipstick on original Chevy engines in that era were on the driver's side, so I can only assume it is a crate motor. We were unable to find block ID numbers on it, but did find the firing order cast in the intake. I don't know much about all the identifying features of cars from that era (or any era), so doing my best to supply as much info and pics as I can.

Transmission is a 2-speed automatic (I say 2 because only D-L on steering column indicator). Is it a Powerglide, don't know. Didn't get under the car to check it out, and again, living so far away, not able to do much with checking that out. My understanding is that they were pretty populat during that time, so it's a toss up whether it has one or not. Unfortunately, can't really check on that right now and the folks sure wouldn't be able to determine that.

Interior appears to have been re-upolstered when the car was purchased. Both the front and back seats were covered in a vinyl covering. I removed the front seat covers, and left the back on, so that you could see the product. If you want to put that back on, it's in the ample trunk. Seats look good, and underneath appears to be the original springs. Don't have a lot of history on the car, but think Dad bought it for the nostalgic value, he had a '64 convertible in a similar color in his heyday. And looks like the replacement carpet was just laid on top of the original, as there is another layer of carpet underneath.

Ignition and locks were replaced with a newer set, as well as the lock to the trunk and glovebox (which does not latch). It will need some electrical work as I could not get all the interior lights to come on when opening the doors (or to stay on). No A/C, and the heater core was bypassed. I plugged it back in and ran the car and got some leaking, so bypassing it again. I did not check under the carpet to see if there was any rust damage.

Exterior color is not original. Supposed to be Ermine White, but the repainted color caught Dad's eyes. It will need another coat, some holidays visible, but the car appears pretty straight given its age. I unfortunately did not get any pics from under the car, but I did see some bubbling on the driver's side front and rear panels, pics below, indicating some small rust areas. Again, the body is pretty straight overall. The molding was removed prior to buying the vehicle and given to us loosely. It's in bad shape and missing the clips/retaining nuts. The old trim will be included with the auction purchase. There is also some trim work missing around the headlights, both the light itself and on the front quarter panels around the front grill. The passenger side mirror and gasket (?) are also missing.

Appears the vehicle was in an accident and the front passenger panel was replaced, hence the missing front trim work and tweaked bumper. I also noticed that the passenger fender well was damaged some, but still installed.

Mechanically, it's almost 50 years old. But it runs. Front brake hardware was replaced this year with over-the-counter parts from local auto parts store. Some parts ordered online, as they are harder to come by. Car runs a little rough, but running on tank gas (fuel gauge off, reads full with 2 gallons). Drive it around the shop to keep the juices flowing, and it will need some work. Non-original carburetor part of crate motor's lifeline. But it does run, shift, brake. Car does not have current tags or inspection sticker. Windshield motor works, but not pumping water/fluid. The wipers move in full range, but cannot get motor to prime. Wheels are original type with decorative ring. Tires are so-so, but not sure on how old they are, but guess they are the same ones purchased over ten years ago.

All the glass is in good shape. There is some old tint on the rear windows that will have to be removed for full restoration. Of course, I did not get enough pictures to show every detail of the car. Sure someone will want some additional photos, but unfortunately, won't be able to get them until later this summer when I go back to visit. If there are several interested in purchasing, can make arrangements to have a day to show the car in the Arlington, Texas area. It will take a little scheduling on my part as I do not work a regular job, so time off is sometimes difficult.

The kicker: pay the Buy-It-Now price and we'll order all the side molding trim work for this vehicle (some 14 pieces) of reproduction quality and the retaining hardware. We'll also order a pair of front fender emblems (V-flagged for 327), the "Impala" letters (2 sets for rear panels), and a pair of Impala logos for the rear panels, all for the 1964 Impalas. The Buy-It-Now price will also include a reproduction heater core. I really don't want to get under that and replace it. I promise that these parts will be from reputable companies and new reproduction replacement parts.

But feel free to ask any questions, I'll do my best to answer. Of course, there is no warranty or guarantees with this vehicle and new owners will be responsible for taxes, registration, and any fees outside of eBay. Thanks for looking.

General Motors shaking up its marketing... again

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

One of the things that dogs the full comeback of General Motors is the instability of its marketing. That part of the automaker got yet another big shakeup today when GM confirmed what I have been tweeting for a few days - strong rumors that the Chevrolet and Cadillac ad accounts are walking to new ad agencies.
Cadillac, GM's luxury brand, is going into review from Fallon Worldwide, Minneapolis and the indications are that Campbell-Ewald, Chevy's old ad shop, will end up with most or all of it. C-E just announced that it was moving from its long-time home in Warren, MI to a new downtown Detroit office next to Ford Field, just blocks from GM.
The other shoe to drop shortly will be the shift of GM's most important brand, Chevy, from Goodby, Silverstein & Partners of San Francisco to McCann-Erickson of Troy, MI. McCann used to be the agency for Buick and GMC, as well as GM's corporate advertising, and has retained some pieces of business over the last few years. Sources have even told us that it was McCann that did a lot of the creative work on Chevy's new ad platform, Find New Roads. (Not to be confused with a former McCann tagline for Saab, "Find Your Own Road.")

Diesel Power finds the ultimate modified oil-burner

Sat, 24 Aug 2013

For nine years, Diesel Power magazine has run the Diesel Power Challenge, this year's grindfest being "a week-long torture test that features seven events, nine trucks, 8,000 horsepower, and nearly 15,000 pound-feet of torque." The road to being crowned "the most powerful truck" starts with a dyno run, and then continues through the completion of a CDL-style obstacle course, an eighth-of-a-mile drag race while towing a 10,000-pound trailer, a quarter-mile drag race without a trailer, a fuel economy test in the mountains and finally a sled-pulling test through a 300-foot-long packed-mud pit.
What kind of trucks get into such a fight? Last year's winner, for instance - who upgraded his truck this year to prove he didn't "luck into the win" - drives a 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty with a 6.4-liter Power Stroke V8 upgraded with a custom intake, Elite Diesel triple turbos and a two-stage nitrous system. Another competitor has a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 powered by a 5.9-liter Cummins inline-six, upgraded with Garrett turbos, dual-stage nitrous, a seven-inch exhaust stack and twin fans built into the bed to cool the Sun Coast Omega transmission. The numbers on that truck: 1,255 horsepower, and 2,063 pound-feet of torque at the wheels. Naturally, as the image above might suggest, things don't always end well.
You'll find all five videos covering this years challenge below. A scene in the dyno video sums it all up perfectly: a competitor leaves his nitrous on too long and the crew is treated to some ominous poppings, he leans out the window, throws both hands up and shouts, "Amer'ca!"

2014 Chevrolet SS makes its live debut

Sat, 16 Feb 2013

Chevrolet showed off the new 2014 SS in an airport hangar last night, its first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan in the US since the Impala SS from 1997. We'll have more to say about the SS later today, but this is the sedan that Chevrolet sees as the final piece in restoring its performance credentials. For those of you looking for a manual transmission, however, that wish will go unfulfilled - at least for now: the only two options buyers will have are the color and whether or not they want a sunroof.
We'll work on getting some more angles (in better light) today at Daytona International Speedway, but with fans seeing the car for the first time, we don't hold out much luck of getting a clear shot. So for now, enjoy the high-res gallery above.
