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 |

Chevy might've pulled out of NASCAR if it weren't for new Gen 6 car
Wed, 20 Feb 2013We've been on the fence with NASCAR for some time now. On one hand, it's some of the closest racing anywhere in motorsports, with actual passing and door-handle-to-door-handle action as a matter of course. But on the other, it's become template racing - a personality-driven sport more about the drivers than any sort of loyalty to a particular automaker. The Car Of Tomorrow format really rammed that message home, with a racecar's identity coming down to little more than headlamp stickers slapped on the nose. That's not necessarily a bad thing in and of itself, but we've wondered for some time what's in it for the automakers, who pay big money to stay in a series that has had little increasingly little do with street car sales, let alone innovation.
Apparently General Motors was beginning to wonder the same thing. In a new ESPN report, Rick Hendrick, team owner of Hendrick Motorsports, suggests that GM would have seriously considered leaving NASCAR if it wasn't for the move away from the COT to the new Gen 6 racer. According to Hendrick, GM North America boss Mark Reuss spearheaded the charge away from the 2007 COT and toward a racecar with clearer automaker ties - cars like the new Chevrolet SS racer shown above. Learn more about the fight for a closer-to-production look in the ESPN story at the link.
Now, if we could just get more rear-wheel drive V8 coupes into showrooms....
GMC Envoy could be returning as GM files for 'Envoy' trademark
Thu, Dec 27 2018The GMC Envoy could be on its way back, if a recent GM trademark filing is any indication of the future. To be exact, GM's trademark filing is for the name "Envoy," and is applicable to "motor vehicles, namely, sport utility vehicles, engines therefor and structural parts thereof." A victim of the recession and high gas prices, the original Envoy – related to the Blazer, and more recently the TrailBlazer and similar GM SUVs – was discontinued after the 2009 model year. In today's SUV-happy market of low gas prices, unearthing the somewhat familiar Envoy name makes a certain amount of sense. As soon as gas prices start trending in the other direction, we'll all be saying the opposite, though. What this SUV will take shape as is the big question now. With the Chevrolet Blazer well and truly on its way, there's every reason for a GMC version of Chevy's stylish new crossover sporting the Envoy name. Another, less likely, possibility is a Traverse-sized vehicle to slot between the shorter Acadia (10 inches shorter than the Chevy Traverse) and the body-on-frame Yukon. GM could come out of left field and make the Envoy a Buick too. It fits the bill with the "En" beginning, and Buick undoubtedly has crossovers in the works. We think that's even more unlikely, but it's important to remember that we're still in the speculation phase. Soon we'll drive Chevy's new Blazer, and perhaps have more news then. Check in next week for that. Related video:
1 in 7 Americans say they might buy an EV next, as sales of electrics surge
Wed, Apr 26 2017About one in seven driving Americans may likely purchase an electric vehicle as their next car, according to an AAA poll, meaning that as many as 30 million Americans may pony up for an EV within the next three to five years. While some of the motivation is environmental, survey recipients say that lower maintenance expenses and solo access to high-occupancy-vehicle lanes are also among the factors behind potentially going electric. Take a look at the AAA press release on the study here. The poll indicates that about as many people are planning to buy an EV for their next car as are looking to buy a pickup, which is impressive given that the best-selling US vehicle is the Ford F-150. And things should only improve, as about 20 percent of millennials polled said that their next car would probably be an EV. The results are all the more encouraging, at least among green-car advocates, because gas prices have fallen about 40 percent within the past five years, meaning that there's less of an incentive to go electric from a purely economic perspective. Through the first quarter of this year, US plug-in vehicle sales were up about 63 percent from a year earlier to about 39,000 vehicles. Meanwhile, when it came to AAA's annual green-vehicle awards for this year, Tesla's Model S and Model X took the large car and SUV categories, respectively, while the Chevrolet Bolt and Volkswagen e-Golf were listed atop the subcompact and compact lists. The Lexus GS 450h hybrid and the Ford F-150 took home AAA's best green vehicle in the midsize and pickup truck categories. Related Video:
