1962 Chevrolet Impala SS Convertible.
After 25 years trying to buy this car from the 2nd owner, I finally acquired it from his estate. He passed 4 years ago at 89 and since his father lived to be 104, I thought I would never get it. I am 66 years old now and much to my regret circumstances dictate she has to go. He and his father ran a local repair shop since the 1930's until the late 1980's. He bought this car from one of his customers in 1970. Most of the 92877 actual miles was accumulated by the 1st owner. As it was no longer a daily driver, The 2nd owner did some minor lower rust repair and painted both sides from the chrome down and then rarely drove it only in parades and later to an occasional car show. It has held up well but the lacquer paint has the typical cracks and is showing its age. The right front floor support has been replaced and the left one should be. The rest of the paint above the chrome is original and still looks and shines nice but there are some small nicks and scratches. There is a small ding on top of the left front fender. The car has never been in an accident.

The interior is all original and is in extremely nice condition except for a patch on the right door panel. Carpet is very nice but faded. Easy to spray dye rather than replace. I'm not sure but the top may be original. It is not real white like a new one but still looks nice with no torn seams or tears and it is not brittle. The back window has some scratches and is showing its age but you can see clearly through it. All original weatherstripping is still soft and pliable is in excellent condition.

The original 283 engine is whisper quiet. No knocks, ticks, smoke or leaks. It has 327 valve covers and fender flags and the originals go with the car. I think the 327 valve covers and fender flags are prettier than the 283's. The battery is out in the pictures, but it comes with a good working one. The original transmission shifts great, no slippage. The original rear end is quiet, not sure if it's a 3.08 or 3.36. Correct dual exhaust was added with correct reproduction clamps and hangers and stock quiet mufflers. The car runs, rides and drives smooth and quiet with no shake, shimmy, wobble or wandering. Front suspension is tight and the tires are balanced. All lights inside and out work as does all equipment and accessories. Dual outside rear view mirrors and dual antennas. Wheels tires and hubcaps are very nice. Bumpers are original and straight and still shine good. All glass is in excellent condition and roll up and down as they should. All the anodized trim is in very good shiny condition.

This is not a RESTORED car. It is a SURVIVOR that has always been taken care of and maintained as needed. You don't need a trailer to take this car home. It can be driven any distance with confidence. I can put you in touch with a local shipper if needed.

I may stop this auction at any time as the car is for sale locally. Many cars on ebay never meet reserve, but if you are serious, don't be shy with an offer.

Made in America | These cars top the most-American list

Mon, Dec 5 2022

The car with the most American/Canadian content for 2022 is ... cue the drumroll ... the Lincoln Corsair, in both standard gasoline-fueled and plug-in hybrid guise. Both versions of Lincoln's compact luxury crossover earned a score of 86 — due to 72% of its parts coming from one of the two aforementioned countries Â— in the American University Kogod Business School's annual "Made in America Auto Index." Last year's leader, the 2021 Ford Mustang GT (when equipped with a manual transmission) fell all the way to 22nd place with a 50% rating due to a switch in transmissions sourced from Mexico. In case you're interested, that puts Ford's red-blooded American ponycar below vehicles like the Kia Sorento, Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class SUV and Lexus ES. If you're wondering how an American car that's assembled within the borders of the United States could rank below a model from a Korean, German or Japanese automaker, well, we'll let Kogod explain: "The components of the index are based on research performed by the Center for Automotive Research in Ann Arbor Michigan regarding the economic value of different components of auto manufacturing. For example, the highest ranked cars are made by U.S.-based manufacturers using American engines and transmissions, and with a high AALA percentage of U.S. and Canadian parts." There are 25 total vehicles listed in the Top 10 (there are lots of ties this year). Here's the full list: (1) Lincoln Corsair: 86 (1) Lincoln Corsair PHEV: 86 (2) Tesla Model 3 Long Range: 82.5 (3) Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray: 81 (4) Chevrolet Colorado: 80.5 (5) Jeep Cherokee Latitude 4x4: 80 (5) Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk: 80 (5) Tesla Model 3 Performance: 80 (5) Tesla Model Y: 80 (6) Dodge Durango Citadel: 79.5 (6) Dodge Durango Blacktop AWD: 79.5 (7) Honda Passport Trailsport: 78.5 (8) Ford F-150 2.7L, 3.3L, 5.0L: 77.5 (8) Ford Ranger: 77.5 (8) Ford Bronco automatic: 77.5 (8) Tesla Model S: 77.5 (8) Tesla Model X: 77.5 (9) Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 3.6L: 77 (9) Jeep Grand Cherokee L LTD: 77 (9) Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland 3.6L: 77 (9) Chevrolet Camaro automatic: 77 (10) Honda Odyssey: 76 (10) Honda Ridgeline: 76 (10) Honda Pilot: 76 There's a whole long list of reasons for the above scores, with seven criteria that include factory location, headquarters location and where its various bits and pieces come from.

Fri, Apr 21 2023

In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Associate Editor Byron Hurd for a recap of the past week's worldwide debuts along with some updates from their recent adventures. They start off discussing the rumors of a new Ford Mustang Raptor and what that means in the context of previous rumors of a Corvette SUV. Then it's time to talk Shanghai, where Polestar, Buick, Volkswagen, Porsche and Lincoln all had big reveals. After that, they segue to Byron's trip to Moab for the 2023 Easter Jeep Safari preview where he drove the AEV Level II Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 20th Anniversary Edition. From there, they reminisce about Mustangs in a nod to the nameplate's 59th anniversary, after which they stick to the theme with a sub-$15,000 RWD used-car discussion. Is there anything worth buying in this price bracket in today's economy?

GM to idle car production at five factories as Americans continue CUV love affair

Mon, Dec 19 2016

In case you needed another reminder that Americans have fallen out of love with sedans, General Motors today announced plans to idle five factories in January in a bid to cut its inventory to 70 days. Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly ( Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac CT6, Chevrolet Volt and Impala) and Fairfax Assembly in Kansas ( Chevy Malibu) will stop production for three weeks. Lansing Grand River ( Cadillac ATS and CTS, and Chevy Camaro) is going down for two weeks, while Lordstown, OH ( Chevy Cruze) and Bowling Green, KY ( Chevy Corvette) will go idle for a week each, Automotive News reports. GM's shutdown reflects a broader problem with the company's supply – at 847,000 vehicles, the company's supply increased unsteadily from a low of 629,000 units in January of 2016. That's more than a 25 percent increase in the past year. Citing information from Autodata, The Detroit News reports that at the end of November, GM had a 168-day supply of LaCrosses, 177 days' worth of Camaro, 170 days of Corvette, 121 days for Cruze, 119 days for ATS, 132 days for CTS, and 110 days of CT6. Meanwhile, inventory of the company's more popular vehicles is actually below the professionally accepted 60- to 70-day supply, The News reports. The Trax, Colorado pickup, and GM's full-size SUVs are sitting below 50 days and experiencing year-over-year sales increases. GM needs a rethink of its inventory levels, which is something that's apparently coming. "We're going to be responsible in managing our inventory levels," GM spokesman Jim Cain told The News. Another unnamed spokesman told Automotive News the company's day-to-day supplies would "fluctuate before moderating at year-end." But at least one analyst thinks this won't be the last time Detroit needs to stop production to level things out. "Incentives are elevated, residuals are declining, and rates are rising," Brian Johnson, an analyst with Barclays, told The News. "And while GM in particular may benefit in the months ahead from new product launches, it's important to recognize that GM's inventory is elevated at the moment, and it wouldn't surprise us if they need to announce another production cut Â– which could pressure the stock."
