1958 Chevrolet Impala
2 Door Hardtop
This is a very nice 1958 Chevrolet Impala 2 door hardtop. This car is all original with the exception of the period correct, roll and pleated seats and door panels. She is powered by a 348 cu. in. V-8 with a four barrel carburator. This allows her to cruise effortlessly on the Interstate at 70MPH. The transmission is a matching automatic 2 speed powerglide which shifts smoothly. Both were rebuilt and installed in the car 3 years ago. Driven very few miles since (local car shows, cruise-ins and whenever the urge strikes). This girl really floats when driven at highway speeds.
To make driving a pleasure this car has power steering and power drum brakes. For those cold nights, she is equipped with a working heater and defrost. For those warm summer days, roll down the windows and step on the gas, no AC. This car was meant to drive with the windows down anyway.
All the gauges work well, (speedometer, temperature, gas). All the lights work including the interior dash and turn signal indicators. The clock does not work. To make cruising more pleasurable, a modern CD player has been installed behind the tissue dispenser under the dash.
The tires are wide whites and have a very nice set of original spinner wheel covers. An original bias ply tire, for show only, is in the very clean trunk.
The seats, carpet and headliner were recovered some time ago but show very well. As stated above, the seats and door panels were done in the roll and pleated style which really set off this car and make her stand out as unique.
The exterior is painted white and is also in very good condition. If you like chrome, this is the car for you. All the chrome is present and shines well. There are a few minor dents on the door guards on both sides. The bumpers, grill and side moldings are very nice as are the hood and trunk emblems. The rear roof molding could stand to be redone. The painted fender skirts show this girl's modesty.
The dual exhaust was replaced with the engine and transmission 3 years ago.
The glass is all present and some appears original. It is in pretty good shape overall. Minor chips in the windshield and minor scratches on the rear window.
The odometer reads 36,049 but is not correct. I do not know if it has rolled over. It was not reset when the new engine and transmission were installed. The odometer does work and may increase slightly as I continue to drive the car.
While not a show car, you will not find a better, more complete, more original driver. She takes her fair share of trophies a the local car shows.
I can be reached at (803)808-1919 or (803)260-0157. If you are truly interested, call and let's talk. I have described this car to the best of my ability. I encourage you to inspect the car or hire someone to do it for you prior to bidding. I will make the car available for your inspection during the auction. Once the auction has ended, the down payment of $1,000.00 is due through PayPal within 48 hours. The balance must be received in verified funds, cash or wire transfer, within 7 days and prior to my releasing the vehicle.
I am not offering shipping on this vehicle. However, I will work with the winning bidders shipper. My zip code is 29072 if you want to obtain shipping quotes.
I reserve the right to end the auction early as the car is for sale locally.
Thank you for looking and Happy Bidding!

2014 Chevrolet Impala [w/video]
Fri, 15 Mar 2013Can A Fleet Queen Become a Fullsize King?
On paper, the Chevrolet Impala is a pretty strong seller, posting annual sales that have hovered right around 170,000 units for the last two years, but it only takes one trip to practically any rental car agency to discover where the majority of those sales have come from. In fact, General Motors told Autoblog that a full 70 percent of Impala sales last year went to fleet companies for things like rental cars and government vehicles. Logic tells us that this is neither good for resale values nor name equity, so Chevrolet is getting ready to roll out an all-new Impala with improved comfort, styling and technology, hoping to turn the tables on its retail-to-fleet ratio.
Chevrolet's sedans have come on quite strong in the last few months with the introduction of the Cruze diesel and the SS sedan, but while these will likely be low-volume sellers, there's more pressure for the new Impala to perform well as GM looks to slash fleet sales and compete with the wide variety of full-size sub-luxury sedans. Riding on a platform shared with the Buick LaCrosse and Cadillac XTS, the 2014 Impala will compete against the Hyundai Azera, Ford Taurus and Toyota Avalon on the more traditional side, while also looking to take a bite out of somewhat sportier models like the Chrysler 300/Dodge Charger twins and the Nissan Maxima. We headed to sunny San Diego to see if this totally new Impala can stand on its own without the assistance of fleet companies and rental agencies. [w/video
Watch NASCAR racer Jeff Gordon put one over on a used car dealer... sorta
Wed, 13 Mar 2013Full Disclosure: in my younger days, I loved nothing more than tormenting passengers with my behind-the-wheel hijinks. Once, after a particularly artful handbrake turn on a two-lane at around 50 miles per hour, I left one backseat occupant crying in their own lap. This isn't necessarily something to be proud of, but it gives you a glimpse into why it is that I find this ad from Pepsi so damn disappointing. The premise is beautiful. Take NASCAR legend Jeff Gordon, give him a disguise and set him loose upon some unsuspecting used car dealer. Hilarity ensues.
Except that this Pepsi Max commercial is so obviously staged, it can't help but feel like some ham-fisted marketing fail. From the strategically placed aftermarket cupholder mounted mid-dash for the hidden camera to the fact that the supposed dealer Camaro is displayed as a 2009 model (Hint: Chevrolet didn't make any), this clip is about as organic as a Twinkie. Still, we would never turn down a chance to watch Gordon thrash on a rental-spec coupe - only problem is, he probably didn't even do the driving himself. Check it out below.
The story of the 2014 Chevrolet SS: "Luxury, power, refinement, handling"
Thu, 07 Mar 2013Not including the women and men who built it, the 2014 Chevrolet SS has only been seen in person by a piddling number of people - fewer humans than would fill the gymnasium at a high school volleyball game. Not including the men and women who built it, no one has driven it. Even so, it is already saddled with two controversies: the way it looks and the way it shifts.
First to that shifting. Did we love the last Americanized Holden, the awesomely sportsome Pontiac G8 GXP, and its six-speed manual? Of course. Do we wish the SS came with a six-speed manual? Of course. But we'd like a toboggan to come with a manual transmission. We'd put a manual transmission on a weasel if we could because we're just wired that way; if it moves, it should come with a stick and a clutch. Or at least the option.
Let's climb down off the ledge, though. We haven't driven the SS and we have no idea how good (or not) the automatic is. And the Hobson's Choice in transmissions when it comes to sport sedans like the BMW M5, Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG and Jaguar XFR-S and, oh yeah, cars-that-really-should-have-manuals like the Audi R8 and Nissan GT-R and Porsche 918 and every single Lamborghini and Ferrari, for instance, hasn't stopped us from enjoying what is clearly the gruesome, dual-clutched demise of Western automotive civilization. Because in spite of our ululations at the dying of the six-speed light, we understand.
