You are bidding on our 1964 Chevy Impala 4-door hard top. This does NOT have the window side posts and is what people who know their Impalas would call the 'Gangster Ride'.

The interior seat covers are rough but I am pretty sure the original green seats are fine, the black seat covers just need replaced. The headliner is the 'air conditioning' headliner and it is in great condition (I think it has a small puncture hole of some sort in the back but it is GOOD!) The carpets could be replaced but they are not in bad shape.

There are some issues but it would be a great fixer up. It does run but needs an exhaust.

The trunk has a red liner in it right now, so that is all that is showing in the pictures. The hinges were messed up at one time and one of the previous owners attempted to turn it into a suicidal trunk but it was never finished.

We did have all working lights until after this (hopefully I can say) passed winter, our business neighbor's plow driver plowed a ton of snow behind it causing all but 2 of the back taillights to get broken.

It is a great rat rod project or would make a cool daily driver. We baught it at the Rebel Run Rod & Custom Nationals show in 2012 and drove it around until the beginning of last fall. We put it up to do some work on it over the winter but we just have too many projects going on right now and don't have the time to put the work into it.

I was going to use this as a parts car for my 2-door but it was just too nice of a car to destroy like that. (And we have a 6-year-old that is probably going to be really mad at us when this car sells).

PLEASE COME LOOK AT THIS VEHICLE BEFORE YOU BID. I understand that some of you checking out this auction are far away and may be having it shipped to you but this car is being sold AS IS and it is a fixer uper! The last time we sold a truck on here, the guy never came and checked it out and caused me many tears over a truck that I LOVED! That I would NOT have parted with except we were getting a new building and needed money to do so. Because of this, I can not stress enough AS IS so PLEASE come check it out before you place a bid. IT DOES NEED WORK AND IT HAS SOME ISSUES but it is WORTH the investment!!

The basic book of this car (in a #5 condition - which means something along the lines of it runs and that is it...it is probably closer to a #4...maybe even a #3 with the condition it is in, but will have to be the buyer's own judgement) is $4200 and that is not including the a/c extra % or any of the other %'s increasing the value. We just left our book with someone right now but there are (I believe) 2 - 15% more qualifiers for this car that the car has.

If you have any questions, please just let us know. I know there are several more pictures we could have taken, we just forgot. If I can add more in the near future, I will try and do so but at this point, our body shop is running full speed ahead (income tax time always gets like that) and I don't know if I will have the time, but I will try.

Payment/pickup is expected within a week of the end of this listing. If you can't make it, just let us know before hand so we can make arrangements. The vehicle can be picked up upon a clear payment...or bring cash with you when you come. We can accept Visa/MasterCard but it is a 10% charge to do so. We prefer cash, certified check or money order, or PayPal.

If I have forgotten something, please let me know. I am only human. AND AGAIN IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS PLEASE CONTACT US FIRST!! If you would like to call us, please call or text 419-296-7937 I have a problem with my microphone and have had several complaints from people on the phone not being able to hear me so if you would like to actually speak to someone, you may want to try our land line at 567-712-2285 (you can not text this number...it's a 'house phone').

Thanks for checking out our Impala. Happy Bidding!!

Chevy Volt sales drop in June, Nissan Leaf inches upwards

Tue, Jul 1 2014

Different month, same story. That's the gist of the monthly US sales numbers from the Chevy Volt and the Nissan Leaf. These were the first two mass-market plug-in vehicles to go on sale in the US and we've been comparing their sales numbers for what seems like ages now. So far, the 2014 tale of the tape shows the all-electric once again trumping the plug-in hybrid. The last time the Volt outsold the Leaf was in October 2013. Chevrolet sold 1,777 Volts in June. That was good enough to be the Volt's best sales month of the year, but it's down 34 percent from the 2,698 units sold in June 2013. In fact, it's on par with the 1,760 Volts sold in June 2012. Given the steady sales, General Motors might need to push up the release of the next-gen Volt to gin up excitement, especially if it also offers some of the things that current Volt drivers say they want improved: more range, a lower price and a fifth seat. GM also said it sold 85 Spark EVs in June, an increase of 215 percent over June 2013 Nissan sold 2,347 Leafs last month. The good news continues for Nissan, which says it sold 2,347 Leafs last month. That's an increase of 5.5 percent over 2013 numbers and makes 2014 the best June ever for Leaf sales. Let's credit Texas. Toby Perry, Nissan's director of EV sales and marketing, said in a statement that, "Since the Texas state incentive went into effect in May, we've seen a big jump in Leaf sales in the Austin, Dallas and Houston markets. Our dealers are telling us that they saw more traffic in their stores, and they had their best Leaf sales performance in the last weekend in June." Even with that increase, Atlanta remains the top Leaf market. Nissan has sold 12,736 Leafs in the US so far this year; Chevy 8,615 Volts. Our detailed monthly sales write-up of green cars in the US, including plug-in vehicles, hybrids and diesel cars, is coming soon. For now, we invite you to discuss these numbers in the Comments.

Chevy admits there's confusion over Bolt and Volt names

Fri, Feb 20 2015

Offering the possibility of 200 miles of driving range and the potential for a price of about $30,000, the Chevrolet Bolt is an incredibly enticing vehicle, and it has an opportunity to be a big player in the EV world. However, the hatchback has been plagued by one problem since the moment it debuted – the name. Bolt sounds very similar to Volt, Chevy's extended-range plug-in, and they can be easy to confuse in a conversation. That's not the best quality to have when trying to get a new vehicle's name out there among customers, and General Motors North America president Alan Batey told the Detroit Free Press that the company is aware of the problem. While the EV is definitely going into production, the model might be wearing a different moniker when it hits showrooms. "We're still in the decision phase. It could go either way," Batey said to the Free Press. He indicated the automaker still has about a year before a final decision is necessary. The Bolt will be built at GM's Orion Assembly plant in Michigan and will likely go on sale around 2017. That will put the Chevy on the market at roughly the same time as the 200-mile Tesla Model 3. Batey didn't seem too concerned, though. "Unlike Tesla, we can spread the cost over a whole lineup," he said to the Free Press. The future doesn't look quite so bright for the Spark EV, though. Batey suggested that it might not last once the longer-range Bolt fills that niche in the lineup. Related Video:
