Up For Sale is a Solid 1965 Chevy Impala SS 327 300hp car. This car can be a driver or resto project and is wll worth saving.  This car was driven daily until a few years ago and now just gets driven occasionally.Tis car has good road and traffic manors such as does not overheat and idles well.  I have broken down the basic description of the categories below.

Drivetrain: 

    327 V-8 4 brl., Holley 650 double pumper,  Edelbrock aluminum Intake,  HEI Distributor mated to a MSD 6AIgnition,  Headers connected to true dual  exhaust and Flowmster mufflers.  The camshaft has been changed to a Crane .480/.280 that gives it a nice thumpy sound and the engine runs great with no smoke or oil usage.

  Turbo 350 automatic transmission that shifts well

   12 Bolt non Posi rear with unknown gear ratio

   4 Wheel non power drum brakes

   14X7 American Racing Torque Thrust wheels on Radial tires that have about 75% tread Left 

Exterior:

  As you can see in the pictures the car is very straight and solid although there are some rust issues that need to be addressed to restore the car.  The frame of the car is super solid and has no rust issues.  The rear quarters need to be replaced with the outer rear wheel housings.  I do have a passenger quarter skin that will go to the new owner of the car. The trunk floor was repaired several years ago and in my opinion to do the car right I would replace the trunk floor.  The interior floor is in good condition.  There are a few places on the lower door skins that need attention as well.  One positive thing about this car is the doors shut like butter, silky smooth and all the glass in the car is in good condition.  The front fenders are in great condition as well.  To my knowledge this car has been repainted once about twenty years ago the factory color.  There is rust in the rear header panel under the back panel that needs to be replaced although the inner structure of the car is solid.  The hood has rust holes and I would replace that as well along with the header panel.  The chrome on this car is in excellant condition and even though not installed in the pictures I have all emblems and moldings.  The front and rear bumper are laser straight and in good condition.  I have seen far worse cars restored and am trying to give an honest overview of this car.

Interior:

  This car came from the factory with white bucket seats and console.  It has the original seats, black carpet door panels, console and they show there age.  The interior is complete with the exeption of the clock and one other gauge in the console and the rear package tray.  I have installed an aftermarket am/fm/cd player mounted in the glove box that play through 6x9's in the rear deck for music. Also there is an Autometer Tach mounted to the steering column.  The interior chrome is in excellant condition and would just need a good polishing. 

 

  In summary this is a great piece of American history and would make anyone proud to drive or restore.  Lets face the facts there not making any more of these classics!.  Ive tried to give an honest description of the car and anyone can feel free to email me and ask questions.  I have a Clear Florida title and car will not be released until funds are recieved. It is the buyers responsibility to pay for and arange shipping although I can deliver to a terminal close by if need be.    Thanks and good luck bidding!

GM recalling 118K Colorado, Canyon pickups over missing hood latches

Thu, 20 Dec 2012

General 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.

2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray convertible headed for Geneva debut

Mon, 28 Jan 2013

While most of the world is still coming down from all the hype surrounding the debut of the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this month, we're already looking to the future. And according to Autoweek, the next chapter in the C7 story will unfold at the Geneva Motor Show in March. That's right, General Motors is reportedly using the Swiss stage as its venue to debut the Corvette Stingray convertible.
If this strikes you as odd, you aren't alone. After all, with a car that's such an American icon, we'd fully expect Chevrolet to unveil it here on our shores in either Chicago or New York. But according to Autoweek, GM is looking to boost export sales of its halo car, and since the C7 was engineered to compete with the world's best and brightest, showing it off in Geneva is somewhat of a smart move. What's more, those with sharp memories will recall that GM used the Geneva expo to debut the sixth-generation C6 Corvette convertible back in March 2004, so there's also a precedent.
Details surrounding the Corvette Stingray convertible are still slim, though we fully expect the 6.2-liter V8 and choice of either six-speed automatic or seven-speed manual transmissions to carry over unchanged. Prototypes spotted on the road showed the car fitted with a cloth convertible roof, as well.

Corvette Stingray designer lists five goals of new exterior shape

Fri, 12 Apr 2013

Redesigning an icon is a difficult task, especially when you've got a blank sheet of paper in front of you and the all-new C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is intended to be your final objective.
General Motors has released a new short video featuring Kirk Bennion of the Corvette's exterior design team, talking about the challenges of sculpting Chevrolet's new flagship sports car and the five goals the team had to keep in mind as it worked. In the end, Bennion's team had the pleasure of seeing their hard work take center stage as the Corvette captured the world's eyes at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year.
