Described here is a 1960 Chevrolet Impala Convertible, 283 V-8 engine with 4-BBL Carb and dual exhaust. This car was purchase in North Carolina in 2009 and registered in California in April 2011. The car had been stored outside for a period of time prior to being aquired by the owner I purchase the car from, he had stored the car in his garage for a period of time. The car had some rust and frame on restoration was started shortly after I received the car. The floor pans were all replaced including the ones under the rear seat, the trunk floor was also replaced. Repair work was also done on the rocker panels including replacing the other skins and repairing the rails underside, lower quarter panel work was also done. Additional, repair work was done to the rear section of the car which had some collision damage. The frame was cleaned and painted while the floor pans were removed. The car was repainted with original white Acrylic Lacquer paint, paint code GM 936, (Artic White). The interior dash and other metal parts were painted in red as the original. The 283 V8 engine was completely rebuilt and the 2-Speed Powerglide transmission was rebuilt as well, a new seal was installed in the standard rear end. This is a matching numbers car to my knowledge. Dual exhaust was installed although not on the car originally from the factory. This is the only major modification that was done to the car, other than that, the car is completely standard, no other modifications at all. The entire interior was replaced with red/white houndstooth design sold as a kit. Door side and vent window glass were replaced while the windshield and quarter window glass were cleaned and retained. Door, trunk and convertible top seals were replaced and a new black top was installed. The push button radio works well, but I was not able to hook up the rear seat back speaker. The car was registered for the first time in California in April, 2011. I estimate that the car has been driven less than 2k miles since restoration work was completed at that time. The DMV registration records from North Carolina show that the car has had only one registered owner before, this owner had the car registered for about ten years starting from the time the car was purchased new in 1959, accordingly, I am the second registered owner. The car rides very well and has plenty of power, it looks beautiful and driving it on the road turns many heads and I receive many thumbs up. On parking lots people stop and ask questions, many from the older generation say that they, a friend or a family member, used to own one of these, I ask where is it now? and why did you get rid of it?, there is usually no answer. The reason I am selling this car is that I am running out of space on my property. I have bought several other cars like it that I restore as a hobby, so something has to go. Please let me know if you have any questions about the car, I will be sure to get back to you as soon as possible.

Pics Aplenty: Meet the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra [w/poll]
Thu, 13 Dec 2012Today was a pretty big day for General Motors, debuting the all-new Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra light-duty pickup trucks ahead of their official showcase at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show. And now that the dust has settled at GM's big reveal event, we've had a chance to snap dozens of photos of the new pickup pair from every angle.
We already told you the important bits earlier today (click here in case you missed it), but let's recap. Under the hood are three new engines - a 4.3-liter V6, 5.3-liter V8 and 6.2-liter V8 (you know, a version of the small-block that'll also be found under the hood of the C7 Corvette), all mated to six-speed automatic transmissions. The 2014 model year marks the return of the Z71 off-road package with Rancho shocks, front tow hooks and beefier underbody protection. Inside, there's a host of new technology and a greater focus on better quality and refinement.
Some of the nitty-gritty specifics (like engine output numbers and fuel economy) have yet to be revealed, and since we haven't driven the finished products yet, it's hard to say how these trucks will fare against rivals like the Ram 1500 and Ford F-150. For now, we can only judge these two books by their covers, and while we do like the designs of the new trucks, we Autoblog staffers are torn on exactly which one looks best.
GM profits threatened by glut of pickups
Wed, 05 Dec 2012Automotive 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.
GM dealers unhappy about pickup prices
Mon, 21 Oct 2013The backlash is beginning. Following General Motors' price hike of the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra last week, dealers across the country are expressing their ire over increasing prices in the face of rebates and discounts on trucks from Ford and Ram.
Speaking to Automotive News, Sam Pilato, the general manager at Dimmitt Chevrolet in Clearwater, FL, Silverados are "selling very poorly." W. Carrol Smith, the president of Monument Chevrolet in the heart of truck country, Texas, said, "[GM's] position is that the vehicle stands on its own and it doesn't need a bigger rebate. That's not what the market is telling us."
According to AN, that's the general attitude amongst Chevy and GMC dealers across the country, where the twin pickups are getting butchered in sales by competitors offering up to $9,000 off their sticker prices. Part of the problem for GM is that its trucks are arriving on the market near the end of the current F-150's lifecycle, a fact that Ford has taken advantage of.
