Here we have an absolute rust free 60s survivor.  I purchased it from a gentleman that bought it for his wife in 1964.  Her favorite color was red and it was repainted 50 years ago and added 60's style interior.  Was parked in 1984 and recently pulled out of its barn. 

ENGINE COMPARTMENT
Its a 348 V8 with a powerglide automatic transmission. Runs excellent, shifts smoothly and drives great.  Has original generator with power steering, also power brakes.  New brakes all around including rebuilt master cylinder.  Engine bay is untouched, looks like all original components are in place and in good working order.  All lights work and it can be driven daily.  New gas tank and sending unit to keep all the 30 year old dirt away from the rebuilt carburator.   (still have the original gas tank to be cleaned and reinstalled if so desired)

INTERIOR
As previously stated, this is an original 60's style interior.  Its in great shape showing some light fading due to age.  Seat foam is firm like new, no rips or tears. Headliner and sunvisors are in great shape.  The carpet has faded in some areas and theres a small hole near the front passenger sill molding due to age deterioration. The interior stainless, chrome and aluminum show no pitting or surface rust and is all in good shape.  All gauges work except for clock.  Fan and Heater work great and controls are very smooth.  Dash paint is bright shows no damage.

GLASS
Windows go up and down with ease.  There is a small crack on the left lower side of the windshield; according to the original owner, it was there for as long as he owned the car.  Window frames are in very nice shape, with almost no pitting showing if any at all.

EXTERIOR AND TRIM
The chrome is in excellent condition for its age, bright and straight.  Stainless trim is straight and shiny with some small dings on the side spears and side trim. Aluminum is also nice and straight with a few dings here and there.
Doors, trunk and hood open and shut smoothly, better than a new car  -must watch video-
Floors are SOLID, no soft spots or questionable spots anywhere that I can see.  The trunk had the infamous 59 rubber mat which is know to hold moisture, so there is some oxidation but nothing rusted or rotted through.  I got rid of the mat and left the upper section in place as its glued down and didnt want to rip it out.
All original metal, no body work ever done on this incredible rust free body.  It is an original BLACK car with red interior.   It was repainted red 50 years ago, all jams were done too.  Still shows nice and its presentable, but keep in mind its half a century old.  There are some "everyday" paint scratches and the trunk shows some of the paint that has come off.  There are no notable dings, dents or body damage.


So here is your chance to own a true one of a kind 59 Impala, you will be hard pressed to find another example of a clean solid ready to go survivor.  You could to leave it alone and enjoy it as is; as a 60s original survivor.  Or perfect to do a makeover with a great solid canvas which you know what it is from day one.  

There are lots of pics and Videos, please feel free to ask any questions and offers will be considered,  but because the uniqueness of this car its very tough to put a dollar figure on it.  

Once its payed for, I can assist with shipping and can also store vehicle indoor for a reasonable amount of time.

More Corvette Stingray Factoids: Vanishing panel gaps and 26-mpg LT1

Thu, 28 Feb 2013

During January's Detroit Auto Show, we managed a longer than expected wandering tag-team interview with C7 Corvette chief engineering exec Tadge Juechter (pictured above), and LT1 engine boss Jordan Lee (pictured below). They are, quite honestly, two of the very nicest bigshot lads to ever walk the engineering corridors of an American manufacturer. Both are enthralled by what they're doing for a day job. So are we.
We've followed the pre-sale anticipation for the Chevrolet C7 Corvette Stingray like an Oreck vacuum yanking every speck of dirt from a well-trampled carpet. Everything is reportable and contains a grain of further knowledge about this dramatically important and cheered-for car, as it continues to be pressured into representing all that is superior about the American dream. The Corvette wears one heavy cloak.
So, most of what was talked about has been expertly reported already right here on Autoblog. But, looking through our notes again, both Jeuchter and Lee added facts to the buzzing mix.

2015 Chevrolet Cruze spied on its home turf

Tue, 23 Apr 2013

The next Chevrolet Cruze isn't set to go into production for about another year, and we're just now seeing prototypes of the new compact running around here in the States. Not much more has been revealed since we saw the car blasting through the snow in Europe, but we can still clearly see new design elements like the larger grille, slimmer headlamps and redesigned taillamps.
Our spy photographers worked up a composite image of this Cruze prototype alongside the current model, and here, we can clearly see some big visual changes are in store for the new model. The 2015 Cruze's hood slopes downward more dramatically, the windshield is more heavily raked, and the roofline looks more fluid overall. The next-generation Cruze will ride on the new global Delta platform that will also underpin other General Motors vehicles like the Chevrolet Volt and Equinox.
As for what's under the hood, we expect the normal range of gasoline four-cylinder engines (both naturally aspirated and turbocharged), and the compact's new turbodiesel four should carry over, as well. Have a look at the full brace of spy photos in the gallery above.

Chevy Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo concept blends the past and the future

Wed, 19 Nov 2014

The Chevrolet Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo is the rare concept car that salutes a seminal moment in history, yet also borders on science fiction.
Revealed Wednesday at the Los Angeles Auto Show, the concept uses the name of one of Chevy's historic racing partnerships, with Chaparral Racing, which dates to the 1960s. Chaparrals raced successfully at a range of levels, including IndyCar, Trans-Am and SCCA competition.
But the history ends there, as the concept's main purpose is as a racecar in a downloadable update for the PlayStation 3 game Gran Turismo 6.
