If you are looking for a 1965 Impala to take to work on a Friday or go to the corner store with, this car is not for you. However, if you are a discerning individual who appreciates a highly detailed original car with excellent pedigree and ostensibly a "new" 1965, this car is for you.
Let's start with the basics...a real Ralley Red 1965 Impala SS 16667 VIN car with a very early build date.
A fantastic unit with original quarter panels and floor pans. The car retains it's 327/300hp powerplant which was rebuilt about 1500 miles ago. The powerglide transmission and 3.08 Positraction rear end were also extensively overhauled at that time. The 327 fires to life instantly and calms down to a nice, quiet idle almost instantaneously. The powerglide pops right into gear, and the brakes stop straight and true with no pulling or pulsating in the pedal. All wittek type tower clamps are used in the cooling system, along with correct GM marked PN correct radiator hoses. I also noticed the use of original type "ribbed" heater hoses.
Cosmetically, the car is fantastic. The car has one repaint in code RR "Ralley Red". The car is arrow straight and the paint is of the PPG 2 stage variety. I can't find appreciable flaw in the paint. I see no signs of rust repair on the fenders or quarter panels, I used a reverse mirror and a flashlight and could see no evidence of any repairs.
The interior retains all it's fantastic original pieces, sans the carpet, which candidly is just too fresh to be of concurrent vintage of the vehicle. All lights, signals, ect. appear to work as they were designed. The radio, for whatever reason, is inoperable. The engine bay and trunk are both highly detailed as is the underside of the car. Moreover, all factory paint daubs and inspection markings have been faithfully reproduced. The convertible top is power, and is white. The top has excellent fitment and has no visible flaws or evidence of age or wear. The rear window is plastic and is stowed down with a towel in the fold of the top, to mitigate any wear in the rear window. Good thinking! I've washed the car myself and purposely sprayed water at all typical leak locations around the top frame and the tops of the windows to see if any water would get in, which would be typical of a Chevy of this vintage, however...the car is water tight.
The car only deviates from it's as delivered condition insofar as the exhaust has been converted to headers and a nice 2.5" flowmaster exhaust, and the distributor has been swapped out to a later, HEI distributor to do away with the troublesome and antiquated points type distributor.
This vehicle was purchased through an estate, with several other vehicles. I have not had the opportunity to take the car but to the gas station to put fresh gas in the tank because the weather has been very foul here outside of Chicago and I refuse to expose this work of automotive art to the elements.
It is my understanding that this vehicle was part of a now defunct Las Vegas hotel display and now sits in my climate controlled warehouse waiting to be shipped to your home.
My reason for selling the vehicle is that my collection has outgrown it's stable, and the car should be in the hands of a collector that can show the car.
The car is sold AS-IS, where is. I've done my best to describe the aforementioned vehicle as best as I can, however...if you feel there is something I missed or you are requesting additional information on this unit, please...do not hesitate to call me at any reasonable hour at 312 622 7533
It should be noted this this car is for sale locally as well as on other venues, and quite candidly, this auction may be removed at anytime in the event the car is sold by other means.

2016 Chevy Colorado grabs Motor Trend Truck of the Year award
Tue, Nov 17 2015It's not an easy feat to win Motor Trend Truck of the Year twice in a row, but the 2016 Chevrolet Colorado managed to do just that. Thanks to the introduction of the 2.8-liter Duramax four-cylinder diesel, the magazine decided to bring the pickup back to defend the title. In more good news for the Bowtie brand, the 2016 Camaro earned the magazine's Car of the Year award. The Colorado beat a tough group of finalists to earn the nod this year, including its GMC Canyon sibling. The Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra also made this year's list. The Nissan Titan XD and latest Toyota Tacoma rounded out the challengers. A model had to shine in six criteria to earn the title: advancement in design, engineering excellence, safety, efficiency, value, and performance of intended function. Like it did with the Camaro, Motor Trend posted a story online that explained the rationale for picking the Colorado again. They praised the diesel profusely and lauded the whole platform as quite a capable hauler. This year's Motor Trend SUV of the Year honor went to the Volvo XC90. The Swedish 'ute had to win against an initial group of 16 candidates that the magazine eventually whittled down to finalists that consisted of the Honda Pilot, Lincoln MKX, the combined Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class and GLE Coupe, and Nissan Murano. "Seven-passenger people movers aren't supposed to drive like this," senior features editor Jonny Lieberman said about the Volvo in the announcement of the champions. The Honda CR-V won last year. In the explanation online, the judges applauded the XC90's new modular platform, and they loved both the T6 twin-charged engine and T8 hybrid version. The SUV's key enamored the writers, too.

Mustang retakes monthly pony car sales crown from Camaro
Wed, Dec 3 2014Going back to their origins in the Swinging '60s, the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro have been fierce rivals for fans' hearts and dollars. Historically, the Ford often led in volume, but Chevy took the muscle car top spot in 2009 upon the Camaro's rebirth. However, with the launch of the latest Blue Oval pony car, the tide is turning back in Ford's favor. November was the first full month of sales for the new 2015 Mustang, and according to TheDetroitBureau.com, the model did spectacularly well. The Blue Oval shifted 8,728 of them, up 62 percent from same month last year, with the automaker proclaiming it the model's best November sales since 2006. Conversely, 4,385 units of the Camaro were delivered, down 13.5 percent year-over-year, meaning its sales were roughly half that of the new-generation Mustang. Ford is understandably happy with the results, and product development director Raj Nair even hinted to TDB that another version of the Mustang might be unveiled at January's North American International Auto Show. Rumor has it that the model will be the even more potent Shelby Mustang GT350R. Despite the Mustang's November success, the Camaro outsells it year to day. So far in 2014, Ford has sold 73,124 Mustangs versus 79,669 examples of the Camaro. With December offering the last chance for an overtake, the Bowtie may yet remain king for this year's sales crown. A new Camaro is peeking over the horizon, as well. It's reportedly moving to the Alpha platform used by the Cadillac ATS, and production could start in late 2015. Prototypes are already testing at the Nurburgring, and camouflaged examples have been spotted weirdly being compared to its '80s forefather.
Chevy, GMC have electric pickups coming. Is Cadillac next?
Fri, Jan 7 2022GMC already has an uber-expensive electric pickup in the Hummer EV. By now you've no doubt seen the 2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV. It's a pickup. It's electric. It looks a little bit like an Avalanche. Hmm. You know what else was a pickup that looked a little bit like an Avalanche? Why, the Cadillac Escalade EXT, of course. Cadillac Escalade EV-T yes or no?https://t.co/R1AXThRzIG@therealautoblog @Cadillac — Byron "Don't do anything Byron says. Ever" Hurd (@Byron_AB) January 7, 2022 So, hypothetically, if Cadillac were to build an Escalade EXT with an upmarket interior, Super Cruise, a minimum of 300 miles of range, 10,000 pounds of towing capacity, a locking frunk and 5-passenger seating, plus all of the nifty doodads and gadgets we've already seen on the Silverado ... would it sell? OK, this isn't entirely hypothetical. In fact, I received a survey from Cadillac this morning asking just that. It's an interesting question. And it's one we're putting to you, the readers. So, what say you? Cadillac Escalade EV-T? Yes or no? Related video:
