1961 Chevy Impala Original Complete!! on 2040-cars

This is a complete original 1961 "Bubble Top" Impala Sport Coupe. It is a 283 4bbl carb powerglide car. Options include : Power steering, power brakes, 2spd wipers, tinted glass, padded dash, push button radio, and rear antenna. Im guessing its one of the most original 1961's left. Ive seen a lot of "basket cases" and a lot of fully restored 61's, but its hard to find an original example such as this. This sat for 20+ years inside a building before I acquired it I guess you could call it a "barn find". The body is original and it appears to have had some body work/ paint work done long ago as you can see a couple different colors that appear to be "spotted in" mainly on the front edge of the hood and front fenders. The floors are solid trunk pan and floor pan both. There is a floor brace that has some rust thru but its not an issue. The front fender brows will need some patching as will both rear 1/4 panels down low. My intention was to repair the rust and "spot" the paint, in those areas only. On the drivers side there is a dent below the gas door but it isn't anything terrible and it has a couple small dings in the hood but for the most part its a VERY nice car. It runs and drives. The transmission shifts very nicely and it goes down the highway just fine BUT I do believe the engine needs a rebuild. It's getting some "blowby" and blueish exhaust smoke as if oil was getting by the piston rings. All the glass is in good shape I believe the windshield has a small chip. The doors all shut nicely and the windows roll up and down. I cant stress how clean this car is, the door jambs are in great shape as is the weather stripping and the wiring looks in amazing condition. Things I have done to it include: all 4 tires are new, professionally rebuilt carb, new water pump, plugs, wires, cap and rotor, new master cylinder, rubber brake hoses and all 4 wheel cylinders, new carpet and package tray. I set the reserve at a price I think is reasonable. If it doesn't sell I plan on tearing into it and getting the engine rebuilt and do the rust repair, so please if you are interested do not wait until the auction ends to make me an offer. I do not plan on relisting it. If the reserve price is met the high bidder will need to send me a $1000 non-refundable deposit due within 48hrs of auctions end. Please if you have questions ask them, if you want more pics ask and I'll get them for you. On May-16-14 at 17:36:22 PDT, seller added the following information: Been asked a few questions about this about what all is and is not working. The in dash clock isn't working, the wipers are not functioning (not sure if tis the switch or the motor) and the radio made a few "crackles" and now, nothing I haven't looked into that either. But ALL gauges including speedometer/odometer work. All lights inside and out. Headlights, tail lights, brake lights, backup lights, turn signals (self cancelling), license plate light, dome lights, and gauge lights are all in perfect working condition. The power steering looks like it has been leaking for awhile but seems to work when reservoir is full. I will try to post a few more pics in the next day or so. Please email with anymore questions and if you'd like to see it in person that can be arranged as well. Thank you |

Watch a camo'ed next-gen Chevy Volt go ice driving
Tue, Dec 23 2014Teasers for the 2016 Chevy Volt continue, The Bowtie showing us in this latest outing how its range-extended hybrid dances on ice and snow. It will only take 42 seconds of your life so don't expect an Arctic challenge, but if you in the snow regions had any doubts about how it will handle the frozen goods, this should help assuage them. The bigger and better, more powerful and faster Volt - able to run regular fuel - will get out from under its camo at the North American International Auto Show next month. For now, enjoy the way it moves its hips in the video above. News Source: Chevrolet via YouTube, Facebook Detroit Auto Show Chevrolet Videos
Chevy Trax engineer says GMC version possible
Mon, Dec 8 2014The Buick Encore is doing so well and its platform-mate the Chevrolet Trax has such good reviewer vibes going for it already, that a GMC version hasn't been ruled out. During the recent press launch, Automotive News asked lead engineer Al Manzor if the Trax could wear a GMC-branded suit, to which Manzor replied, "I think that is certainly possible." That's a long way from telling us anything about the probability of a GMC version of the Trax, and a legion of questions would need to be answered before it could happen. How would a GMC version be priced to leave room for the $26,465 GMC Terrain but not eat into sales of the $20,995 Trax or the $24,035 Encore? Or would that matter? Could it primarily be considered to encourage a new faction of The Yukon Set at the compact end, GMC buyers being famously committed to the marque? And of course, would there be a Denali version? It'll probably be a long while before we have any kind of answers, but if you want to see it happen, the door to your campaign of persuasion is at least ajar.
