For more pictures email at: donovan.gengler@toothandmail.com .
For sale is a 1966 Chevrolet Impala SS 427 convertible. This was the first year for the 427. It is a rare original
car with original build sheet, currently has 28,417 miles. The car was stored since 1980 until I bought it in 2007,
with 21,810 miles on it.
The car was stored in a garage for 27 years when I put it back on the road. It has not been restored. I did not
have any paint work or chroming done. Just lots of cleaning and polishing. I wanted to present the car the way it
was. The top was replaced about 2 years ago.
To get it back on the road the following was done: New gas tank and sending unit, new stainless fuel and brake
lines. The entire brake system was done, car still has 4 wheel drum non-power brakes. Radiator was sent out to be
flushed and cleaned, belts, hoses, water pump, fuel pump where replaced. Rebuilt carb and tuned it up. Before
engine was started, cylinders were oiled, engine was tuned by hand and oil pump was primed, not just gas and a
battery. New exhaust with turbo mufflers. The entire front end was rebuilt after about 1000 miles, which included
ball joints, control arm bushings, inner/outer tie rod ends, etc. The car has been PA inspected every year and
currently is. Have put nearly 7,000 miles on it with no issues.
The car is a nice for car cruises, but not a show car. It is is very solid, including frame and floors. It does
have a few rust spots, one at bottom of each quarter panel and the other is inside the trunk lid. Please see the
pictures I have included. The under side is very solid, but in driver condition. The car looks to have been
repainted at some point in time prior to 1980. The paint still shows well, but does have some dings, crazing, etc.
It is a factory black car. The interior is completely original and in very nice condition.
The options include SS package, power windows and top, gauge package, factory four speaker stereo with center
console controls, automatic, 4 way flashers, and the 390 hp 427. See attached picture of build sheet. Please
contact me for any additional photos or info. Thanks for looking.

Chevy confirms Corvette Stingray Convertible for Geneva
Thu, 07 Feb 2013Want proof that General Motors has increased global ambitions for its 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray? It's staging the world premiere of the model's convertible variant at the Geneva Motor Show early next month.
As previously rumored, the droptop rendered above will debut at the Swiss show, making its first appearance anywhere on March 5. According to Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet, the location makes sense because Corvette "...is an icon that has long been recognized and admired even in countries where it's never officially been offered."
While neither Chevrolet nor the Corvette has a major sales presence in Switzerland, the Bowtie's European headquarters is located in Zurich (about three hours to the northeast of Geneva) and GM has made it clear that it wants to build the Chevrolet brand up across Europe.
Amelia Island 2013: Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray from concepts to split windows
Wed, 13 Mar 2013While this year marks 60 years of the Chevrolet Corvette, the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance focused on one of the coupe's most sought after models, the 1963 Sting Ray. General Motors design boss Ed Welburn was on hand to show off the all-new C7 Corvette, but even the hard-edged styling of the 2014 Stingray couldn't take away from the beautiful 1963 models sitting out on the field.
In addition to the original Sting Ray and the 1959 Sting Ray Concept, some of the other classic 'Vettes included "Big Tank" racecars, an interesting cutaway coupe, a right-hand-drive Z06 and the attention-grabbing 1963 Corvette Rondine by Pininfarina. Another impressive Corvette was the 1964 Corvette XP-819 rear-engine prototype. Owner Mike Yager had the car finished as a driving chassis for this year's show, but promises the car will be back to its original glory in time for next year's event.
Vert-A-Pac train cars kept your Chevy Vega's price in check
Fri, 01 Mar 2013Our apologies to those who've seen this before, but for the rest of the class, how awesome are these pictures of the Vert-A-Pac shipping system General Motors came up with to ship the Chevrolet Vega back in the 1970s? Developed along with Southern Pacific Railroad, GM was able to double the amount of Vega models it could ship by packing them into the unique storage cars vertically.
At the time, rail cars could fit 15 vehicles each, but Chevrolet was able to lower shipping costs by making it possible to ship 30 Vegas per rail car, in turn allowing the price of the Vega to remain as low as possible. Each rail car had 30 doors that would fold down so that a Vega could be strapped on, and then a forklift would come along and lift the door into place. All the cars were positioned nose down, and since they were shipped with all of their required fluids, certain aspects had to be designed specifically for this type of shipping, including an oil baffle in the engine, a special battery and even a repositioned windshield washer reservoir. See for yourself in our image gallery above.
