Up for auction is this cool, 1959 Impala 4 door Flat top. This car is very unique as its an original Level Air car with its Original 280hp 348 tri-power engine(GB suffix code which is for a powerglide 280hp tripower)! The original color cameo coral is a color you do not see very often either. This 59 started its life in Wyoming and ended up in Colorado. It is a solid car with the exception of its trunk pan and lower rear quarters. Around the headlights are SOLID, the rockers are Solid, the floor pans are solid, and the unique Level air frame is solid. I do have the pans for the trunk from Cars inc. that will go with the sale. Around the gas tank filler neck is solid so all that needs repaired are the pans themselves.
As far as the level air stuff left on the car. The Level air emblem is still on the rear of the car, the shock towers obviously, the pulleys and the valve on the intake are all there. The canister and compressor are missing. The parts are out there and what a cool car this would be if you put the level air back on it. You see clones but this is a REAL level air car!
The 280hp 348 tri-power does run and the car drives. It still retains its original air cleaner. There is only one center carb as the previous owner removed the front and rear carb. I do have some builders i can throw in the deal too. This car is also optioned with power steering, power brakes, bumper guard and padded dash (dash is cracked).
The interior needs to be redone from the elements taking its toll on it. I removed the carpet so you can see how SOLID the floor pans are. The headliner has a tear down one seam but looks like it can be repaired. The front windshield has a few pits in it but all other glass is good.
I do have all new wiring harnesses for the firewall forward. The old wiring harnesses were shot as seen in the photo. I do have new mirrors for the car, i have a rear valance for it and also the stock wheels and caps. (Wheels in the photos DO NOT come with the car) I do have practically everything needed to put the car back together. Please call with questions, 303-929-9660 prior to bidding. If your feedback is below 10 please call me before bidding. Car is sold as is! Good luck and do not miss out on this rare unique, level air, big block, 4 door flat top.
I have a bunch of 59 parts too and always looking for 1959 Impala convertibles and hardtops.

Tarantino's stolen Chevy Malibu from Pulp Fiction recovered after 19 years [w/video]

Mon, 29 Apr 2013

Quentin 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.

Hot Wheels Camaro to make big debut at Indy

Fri, 05 Apr 2013

Chevrolet handed over the keys to 33 Hot Wheels Camaro Convertible Indianapolis 500 festival cars this week. Race directors get the luxury of driving the droptops around Indianapolis in an ongoing tradition with roots all the way back to the 1960s. The stunt is supposed to remind area residents that the Indy 500 is right around the corner. The cars are our first look at the special Camaro Hot Wheels Edition in convertible form, and they are slated to head to dealers after a one-time production run. The cars also represent the first time in history full-size Hot Wheels have been offered for sale by an automaker.
The cars will be available in both the previously seen coupe bodystyle and this convertible configuration, and will feature metallic blue paint and special wheels with the iconic redline accent. Buyers will be able to choose between the V6-powered 2LT trim and the V8-powered 2SS guise.
Hot Wheels says the original Custom Camaro toy was one of the original 16 1:64-scale diecasts, and it remains one of the company's most valuable collector items today.

Supercharged 2015 Chevy Corvette Z06 takes the C7 beyond the ZR1

Mon, 13 Jan 2014

The Z06 is just about everything we got in the last ZR1, but better.
After a bright-yellow false start, here is the real thing: the fourth-generation, 2015 Corvette Z06. If Chevrolet makes a ZR1 version of the C7 Corvette, it's going to be absolutely mega, because the Z06 is just about everything we got in the last ZR1, but better.
