Rare 1972 Chevy Impala Convertible W/ Bb 402 on 2040-cars
Thornton, Texas, United States
Vehicle History: My dad bought this car back in '86 from i believe the original owner. It was a daily driver for him until about 10 years ago when he pulled it into my grandfathers barn and left it there. The upholstery has been redone and electronic ignition was put in. Other than that it's all original.
The condition of this car is rough. The body is straight. However, there is some rust along the rocker panels near the wheel wells in a few spots. The paint is still very good. The interior is gone. Rodents have set up shop in there so use your imagination. I tried to take a lot of pictures but I'm not a photographer. I tried to get close ups of the important areas and any rust I found. Not sure of the condition of the electrical but I'm gonna imagine it needs work. The mileage is over 100,000 but not sure exactly what it is. The odometer is not accurate. The tires need to be replaced and one wheel cover is missing. It does still have the high lift jack in the trunk though. It came with factory a/c but the compressor is in the trunk and probably needs to be replaced. The top needs to be replaced. The thing this car has going for it is it's rarity. Chevy made 6,456 convertible impalas that year and few of them came with the turbo-jet 402 with dual exhaust. The engine alone is worth some money. It came with electric locks and windows and front and rear bench seat. It's a big car with a big engine. The car is located in Thornton, Texas. It is way out in the country so try and figure out what shipping is going to cost before bidding. The buyer will be responsible for arranging and paying for shipping. I'll help with arrangements on my end. ****Please ask any questions you have before bidding. Car is being sold as is with no warranty.***** |

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.

If you have some time this afternoon, be sure to check it out the Corvette colorizer for yourself, and even if you don't have the time, we've put together a gallery with all of the possible color combinations.
Tarantino's stolen Chevy Malibu from Pulp Fiction recovered after 19 years [w/video]
Mon, 29 Apr 2013Quentin Tarantino fans will likely remember Vincent Vega's cherry 1964 Chevrolet Malibu Convertible in Pulp Fiction. In a movie drenched in automotive references, the Malibu is very nearly a character in and of itself, and it serves as the subject of Vega's soliloquy about the kind of man who vandalizes another's automobile. It also happened to be Tarantino's personal car when the film was shot, and was apparently stolen shortly after production wrapped. Now police have located the car some 19 years later.
As it turns out, the thieves cloned the vehicle identification number from another '64 Malibu and had the car registered under the new digits. It was then sold to an unsuspecting buyer. Police happened upon the duplicate VINs while investigating another potential theft. Right now, it's unclear whether Tarantino has taken possession of the Chevrolet, if it has remained in the possession of the fraud victim, or whether it's caught somewhere in the gears of justice. Either way, you can catch Vega's memorable thoughts on the car keying in the Pulp Fiction clip below. But consider yourself warned: the video contains explicit language as Not Safe For Work as it comes.
