Up for Auction or Buy It Now is a beautiful, completely restored 1962 Impala SS. Restoration was completed in the Fall of 2011. Since the restoration it has been driven less than 100 miles. Engine, Transmission, wheels/tires, and all moving parts have less than 100 miles on them. Maybe a half dozen times a year I take it around town just to keep everything fresh. 100% garaged. I don’t believe it has seen rain. I personally know every inch of this car as I worked on it every weekend for three years.
I have over 600 photos of the restoration. If there’s something you’re looking for let me know.
SS built in Baltimore, sold in NC. Clear VA title in hand. It’s registered in CT, but CT only requires a bill of sale pre 1980, and if you give a title they will not return a CT title. Please see CT DMV website to verify this for yourself.
Initially I was going to do a ground-up. Upon disassembling, it was clear the frame, body, floor boards, etc. were in excellent shape, so I left the body intact. The car was gutted, local sandblast, primed, painted (interior and exterior). Nearly everything has been rebuilt or new.
Here’s the specifics:
Engine: 72 350, 4 bolt main. New pistons, rings, camshaft, high volume oil pump, cam & crank bushings, Holly 650, full high end gasket set, fuel pressure regulator, fuel pump, double chain cam & crank sprocket.   Single point distributor has new points, otherwise original. Chrome valve covers, dipstick & oil pan.   I have new Accel plug wires.   Alternator & starter original & untouched. Had originally planned to bore .030 over, but there was very little wear on the motor itself, so it’s a standard rebuild with a mild cam – but nothing too fancy. New motor mounts. Exhaust manifolds have been sand blaster and painted with high temp paint, but looks like they need to be blasted again. I believe the intake is from 1966 – it was also sandblasted, cleaned & high temp Chevy orange applied.
Transmission: TH350 fully rebuilt locally w/ new torque convertor. New aluminum transmission lines installed. I have the original 1962 powerglide which you will receive as well.
Interior: New carpet, seat foam inserts (buckets only, rear is OEM), Cars Inc. seat covers, custom door panels with the “SS” logo, headliner, coves, light fixtures, visors – basically all new items were designed to look like the original. Everything was removed from the interior including the dash and was sand blaster, primed & painted. Although the floor boards were in good shape, they were replaced & welded into place. I have the chrome which goes around the buckets seats, but it’s not installed. I had planned to get them re-chromed and never got around to doing it. With the exception of the clock, all gages work. All interior metal trim (not including what’s originally chrome, that was left alone) including dash has been sand blaster, primed and painted metallic black. The center console has been painted to match the black metallic interior trim.
Exterior: Color, metallic green, similar to Hunter green. Four coats Dupont, four coats Euro clear coat. I still have about a half-gallon left of both paint and clear (2 part) which I will send along. There is very little body filler. There are about two ounces in the driver’s quarter panel, and about six ounces in the drives door in the middle from a dent. The front lip of the hood has a small amount also. The body was in really nice, solid, shape before the rebuild, thus not a lot of filler was needed. Frame was sand blasted (with body still attached) primed and undercoated. All glass is believed to be original. Front and rear bumpers are new aftermarket. Dual exhaust sounds awesome, and have been welded together except where it meets up with the exhaust pipe. New shocks, gas tank & sending unit.   Rear coves, back trunk panel, and SS machined swirl side molding are original and they have new hardware attaching them to the vehicle. Has all new window fuzzies & door and window soft seals. All exterior window and door chrome is original and in near mint shape except the top of the drives window itself (the chrome window frame).   Headlight assemblies completely disassembled, blasted, primed, painted & new plastic inserts & springs inserted. Photos do not show headlight covers, but I have them and they’re in excellent original condition. Headlights will need to be aligned. New 17” American Racing & Michelin tires purchased from Tirerack, again with less than 100 miles on them. 35 degree SS antenna new aftermarket. Trunk has a new pan welded and sealed and the entire trunk area sand blasted and primed NOT painted. Brake drums are untouched. Brake shoes are all new with new hardware. Two brake master cylinders are rebuilt, two are new. Front brake lines (from cylinder) are new, rear are original.
Engine Compartment/under the hood: Fender wells and fire wall sand blasted, primed and painted metallic black. Steering wheel assembly disassembled, cleaned & greased.   New power steering hoses. Power steering pump has been untouched. Power steering piston has a very slow o-ring leak. Fan has been sand blasted, primed and painted metallic black as has the fan shroud. New battery. Blower motor was completely disassembled, blasted, primed painted & new brushes added to motor. Hood springs original and strong. Windshield wiper motor and linkage disassembled, sand blasted, primed and painted. Needs wiper blades. Original radiator was flushed, in excellent condition. New heater hoses. Brake master cylinder is new, lines original.
I’m sure I have forgotten something, so please ask questions. As you can tell no expense was spared on this restoration. Issues which bug me… I would replace the aluminum transmission lines with stainless. The drives door has a clear coat run under the door handle which could easily be smoothed and buffed. Right on the lip of the trunk near the trunk emblem (original chrome emblem with aftermarket plastic insert – both hood and trunk) it looks like some dirt is under the paint, but you will receive extra paint and clear coat. The driver’s sun visor droops although it has new hardware.
Lastly, while this car is awesome it’s being sold as-is. Only offering to the lower 48. Preferred local pickup, but I’m OK selling to anyone but you will be responsible for transport, and the second it leaves my driveway I’m not responsible. I will take tons of photos of the transportation company loading the car for you. I’ve used “crossover transport” to have the car delivered to my home and the cost was fairly reasonable. Best of luck on the bidding. Be sure and send me a photo of you winning car shows!
$500 immediate non-refundable deposit required. It’s expected that you will pick up the vehicle within two weeks.

GM finds steering flaw, decides it doesn't warrant a recall

Tue, Apr 14 2015

Guess what? General Motors is back in the spotlight for not recalling something. This time, though, not only does the company have an argument against a recall campaign, but its position is supported by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. According to The New York Times, over 50 owners of GM vehicles have reported instances of stuck or seized steering after driving long distances without moving the wheel. One owner complained to NHTSA that the "locked" steering of their 2013 Buick Verano caused a collision with a concrete barrier in a construction zone. Along with the 2013 to 2014 model year Verano sedans, Chevrolet Cruze and Malibu sedans are also affected. Considering the popularity of those models, GM needs to have a reason for not issuing a recall, right? "Based on a very low rate of occurrence – ranging from less than one half to less than two incidents per thousand vehicles Â– and the fact that the condition is remedied when the wheel is turned, GM determined this was not a safety issue," spokesman Alan Adler told The Times. The company has, however, issued a technical service bulletin for owners that complain of the problem. The fix is nothing more than a software update that is covered for 10 years or 150,000 miles from new. NHTSA cited GM's actions, along with descriptions of the problems from customers, in its decision not to issue a recall, with spokeswoman Catherine Howden saying, "the symptoms described would be a brief, perceptible change in steering feel that has little to no effect on the driver's ability to safely steer the vehicle." "When terms like 'notchy,' 'stick,' 'slip' or 'feel' are used, it does not indicate a meaningful increase in steering effort," Howden told The Times via email. What do you think? Is GM in the wrong here? Should there be a recall, or is the issue so limited as to not warrant one? Have your say in Comments.

Chevy Tahoe-to-K5 Blazer conversion shop renders Jimmy option

Sat, Feb 20 2021

Back in 2019 we told you about a truck that looked like a K5 Chevy Blazer, but was actually a modern late-model Tahoe underneath. It was the product of Arkansas shop Flat Out Autos, which reskinned modern GM full-size SUVs to look like their predecessors. Now, the same shop is planning to release a GMC version, converting Yukons to Jimmys. We were impressed by Flat Out's workmanship, beautifully blending the lines of the Blazer into those of the Tahoe. The result was a cohesive design, not just a panel swap. It clearly required a lot of work, which helped justify the $69,000 price tag, not including the cost of the donor Tahoe. FlatOut Autos GMC Blazer Tahoe reskin 01 View 11 Photos At least one new owner was so impressed that they recently purchased four identical Blazer conversions at once. The quadruplets were all finished in blue with a white roof and all based on brand-new 2020 Tahoes. Obviously, with such demand it was only natural for Flat Out to explore other options. On Facebook the company said it was working on a 1972 version with an eggcrate grille. Now, they've also released a rendering paying homage to the K5 GMC Jimmy. The Jimmy conversion uses the original's quad-headlight face, crosshair grille and GMC badging. Like the Blazer conversion, it adds chrome bumpers and milled door handles while adapting the original's 2-door design to the new truck's 4-door body. The rendering only shows the front three-quarter view, but presumably a new carbon fiber rear door would have to be created as the Blazer's says "Chevrolet" across the back. Flat Out says that all the modern conveniences found on the donor Tahoe will work on the conversion, including parking, blind spot and lane keeping sensors. If you have the coin, it's a great way to have retro style without giving up modern safety and performance. The new Blazer has been disappointing to many fans that had hoped for a Bronco-like SUV. Instead, GM gave us a crossover. The Flat Out conversions might be a good compromise, and expanding it to the GMC brand only makes sense. Obviously there's no requirement to use a GMC Yukon as the donor vehicle for the Jimmy, as it's functionally identical to a Tahoe, but wouldn't you want to keep it in the family? Related Video:

GM investing $167m in Spring Hill for new midsize vehicles

Tue, 06 Aug 2013

General Motors has announced a large investment in its Spring Hill, Tennessee facility. The former home of Saturn production will be getting a $167 million addition to a previously announced $183 million, to cover a pair of new midsize vehicles. The investment is expected to create 1,800 jobs at the factory.
That $350 million is being divvied up for a pair of programs at Spring Hill. The first will take the bulk of the money ($223 million) and create 1,000 of the 1,800 jobs, while the other will take the remaining $127 million and generate the leftover 800 positions. But GM says the investment will cover "midsize vehicle programs." So what could they be?
The leading candidate in our minds is a new crossover for Buick, called the Anthem, that will slot between the Encore and Enclave, but will be slightly smaller than the Equinox and Terrain. As we've explained, the new model will likely be the first product to sport GM's new D2UX platform, which will eventually replace both the Delta and Theta platforms. Spring Hill is already building the Equinox, so there could be some credence to this theory.
