The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"there are a few rust areas right above the rear wheel well openings....they do not go all the way through..also some small bubbles on the lower door skin and rocker skin...all floor areas are extremely solid"

For your consideration is a 1960 Chevrolet Impala 2 door hardtop...from all appearances it is completely stock and free from any previous body, frame or suspension cuts or modifications...it does not provide any evidence that it has ever been hit anywhere on the body


Starting at the front: the front bumper is very straight with nice original chrome, guardettes, grill is very nice for an original ...nice hood, extremely nice front fenders

Under the hood is a new radiator, a rebuilt 454 Chevy motor that the previous owner said has been started but the car has never been driven since it was installed....previous owner says the transmission is either a 350 or 400 and has also been rebuilt but never run.....this car came from the factory with both power steering and power brakes

There is a new, complete wiring harness that was just installed.

The body is extremely straight and rust-free with the exception of the pictured areas directly above the rear wheel-well openings....there is rust at these locations, but not all the way through the metal at these points....there are also some small areas of "bubbles" on the lower door skins and outer rocker skins.....very minor

All of the floor areas were blasted and painted....very nice, solid, original condition, no rust, no damage anywhere inside or in the trunk...drip rails are excellent, as are all lower window corner areas, bottom of fenders, bottom of doors, lower quarters

The interior is a brand new reproduction of the original blue with silver pattern as seen in the picture...the seat bottom was done to show the color and pattern....included in the price is the complete, brand new set including the front and rear seats, door panels, inside quarter panels, headliner, carpet...I believe the entire set cost between $1500 and $2000 depending on shipping cost- the front and rear seat frames have already been dipped and primered- they are in excellent condition and are ready to recover. 

Included will be over 95% of the interior and exterior moldings, trim pieces, garnish moldings, emblems and gauges...if there is anything missing, I don't know what it is...which may mean we have every single piece...just trying to be as honest in the description as possible


Also included will be the correct steel wheels

I have clear title in my name, current California registration, brand new California VIN tag just issued by the CHP and brand new plates

The buyer will need to purchase a new windshield and side glass set-the chrome window frames included are in nice condition for originals .....the large rear window glass is included

I will be happy to provide additional, specific pictures for a serious buyer who wants to view any area of concern not adequately covered by the pictures already provided

I have made every effort to be as clear and accurate as possible in the descriptions and accounts of this vehicle....I would always much rather talk someone out of a sale by disclosing the full truth than to risk any future dissatisfaction because of an omission or misleading description 

It is being sold as is- where is with no warranty of any type given or implied....potential buyers are welcome and encouraged to inspect the car thoroughly in person...I will make arrangements to meet and discuss with a serious buyer with as much flexibility in my own schedule as possible

You can send questions-I will respond as quickly as possible....shipping will be the sole responsibility of the buyer...I will certainly cooperate fully with the shipper as needed for a smooth transaction

I retain the right to close the bidding early, for this vehicle is being advertised locally

2016 Chevy Volt ads strike frustrating, yet familiar, chord

Fri, Oct 2 2015

Sometimes, it's hard to let go. In the six years that GM has been advertising and selling the Chevy Volt, one dominant message is that the car is an EV without any range anxiety. On the one hand, this is a positive thing: our car does something that other electric vehicles don't. Of course, there's another, more reasonable take on the message that EVs only equal limited range: don't promote this viewpoint if you ever plan on selling a pure EV. But, of course, this is exactly what GM is doing with a new ad for the 2016 Chevy Volt. Called Elevator, the spot (watch it above) compares driving an all-electric car with riding in an elevator getting stuck. Your Nissan Leaf might run out of electricity, the ad says, and that would be as uncomfortable as being trapped between floors. The main problem, of course, is that Chevy also offers the Spark EV and is getting ready to sell the Bolt EV. Does the company think that everyone will forget these anti-EV commercials when it come time to shop for a Bolt? Even worse, does GM think we've forgotten the Anthem ad for the Volt back in 2010? Apparently, so. Elevator isn't the only ad for the 2016 Volt that GM debuted today. The other, called Time Capsule (below), takes a swipe at the Toyota Prius. Trouble is, there are two easy ways to dismiss this ad as well. First, and most obviously, if GM is against using old technology, then why does it continue to shove a 100-year-old fossil fuel engine into almost every car it builds? Second, attacking the Prius for using 15-year-old tech – when said tech is still able to mop the floor with any hybrid from GM in the fuel economy race - is more like an admission of defeat than anything to be proud of. "Hey look, the Prius uses technology from the '90s," GM says. To which the observant viewer will ask, "Well, then why can't you build a 50-mile-per-gallon hybrid, GM?" It's also worth noting that Chevy has been on a misguided advertising streak as of late. We bashed their ads that suggested its Silverado is better than the F-150 because it uses steel instead of aluminum, too, especially since those commercials used shark cages and stupid superhero costumes in an attempt to make a point. Chevy, stop assuming we're all idiots. Please. Now, the 2016 Volt is a great car and I know that GM can make a darn good Volt ad (like this one), so seeing the company shoot solid fuel-efficient technologies in the back (again and again) is just frustrating.

8 cars we're most looking forward to driving in 2015

Mon, Jan 5 2015

Now that 2014 is officially in the books, it's time to look ahead. And following our list of the cars we liked best last year, we're now setting our sights at the hot new metal that's coming our way in 2015. Some of these, we've already seen. And some are still set to debut during the 2015 auto show season. But these are the machines that keep us going – the things on the horizon that we're particularly stoked to drive, and drive hard. Jeep Renegade Not the Chevrolet Corvette Z06. Not the Ford Mustang GT350. Not the new John Cooper Works Mini. Nope, I'm looking forward to the adorable, trail-rated Jeep Renegade. And that's because I really, really, really like our long-term Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk. I do not, however, care too much for the Cherokee's looks, and I really don't like its $38,059 price tag. The Renegade Trailhawk, meanwhile, promises much of the same rough-and-tumble character as its big brother, but at what we expect will be a more reasonable price (I'm personally wagering on the baby Jeep's off-road model starting at no more than $23,000). With a 2.4-liter four-cylinder and a nine-speed automatic, it should also be a bit easier to fill than the V6-powered Cherokee. Also, I can't help but love the way the Renegade looks. It's like someone took a Wrangler, squished it by 50 percent and then handed it off to George Clinton for a healthy dose of funk. The interior, with its bright, expressive trims and color schemes should also be a really nice place to spend some time. I'll be attending the Renegade's launch later this month, so I'll have a much shorter wait than my colleagues. Here's hoping the baby Jeep lives up to my expectations. – Brandon Turkus Associate Editor Mazda MX-5 Miata Here's an uncomfortable truth: I'd rather spend a day driving a properly sorted Mazda MX-5 Miata of any generation on a winding road than I would nearly any other vehicle, regardless of power, price or prestige. It's not just that I prize top-down driving and enjoy the Miata's small size because it gives me more road to play with. I just find there's more motoring joy to be had with high-fidelity handling and an uncorrupted car-to-driver communication loop than I do with face-distorting power or grip – let alone valet-stand gravitas. But perhaps most of all, I love Miatas because they can deliver that level of feedback and driver reward at modest speeds that won't put the locals on edge or endanger lives – you can use more of the car more of the time.

GM profits threatened by glut of pickups

Wed, 05 Dec 2012

Automotive News reports that General Motors may slash production or ramp up discounts in order to deal with an oversupply of pickup trucks. GM currently has more than double the standard supply of pickups, and the vehicles are threatening to dampen the automaker's profits for 2013. Typically, automakers try to sustain a 60- to 75-day supply of vehicles, but GM is currently loaded with a 139-day supply, as of last month. At the end of November, the automaker was sitting on 245,853 units.
The manufacturer says that it will adjust production accordingly before laying any incentives on the profitable pickups. Even so, there's some concern that the inventory swell could hurt the roll-out of the next-generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. GM actually began slowly stepping back production in August, but it's clear the company will take further action as it heads toward the end of the year and into the next. Analysts predict the automaker could reduce pickup manufacturing by nearly half in the first quarter of 2013.
That still may not be enough to keep GM from laying extra cash on the Silverado and GMC Sierra. While the company's incentive spending was down in November compared to the same month in 2011, both the Ram 1500 and Ford F-150 saw double-digit percentage increases in sales last month while the Silverado and Sierra numbers slid compared to a year prior. Incentive spending could help move more trucks and add some balance to the GM inventory surge.
