1966 Chevrolet Impala Convertible on 2040-cars
Middletown, Delaware, United States
Up for sale is my 1966 Impala convertible which has been
in my family since day one. It was purchased new by my grandmother and
later passed down to me. The reason for my sale is based on lack of
driving it and also to create space in my garage for my wife for our
recent harsh winters. The Impala has the original 283 cid V-8, 2 barrel
engine with a powerglide transmission. 86,187 original miles. I had
some restoration work done about 7 years ago which involved replacing
the left quarter panel and patching the lower right quarter. The engine
is re-built and has gone less than 2,000 miles since restoration work
was done. The trunk was repaired, but they
put a patch panel above original trunk floor. Entire car was painted in
original code Y yellow. The car starts easily and runs well and I
can't take it out without someone asking me about it. Frame looks solid
as is most of the undercarriage. Here is what the car needs to make it
more of a "show" car rather than just a great cruiser: New chrome,
there is a crack in back right quarter panel (something slid in the
trunk when I was turning and put a small dent/crack in the new paint)
, seats have a couple small tears, could use a tune-up,
convertible motor is struggling (under $300 online), convertible top fitment when closed (see pics), rubber trim
throughout is getting old, I've recently discovered 2 fist-sized holes
in floorboards on driver side. The car is about 80% and just needs the
extra 20% of work to make it more special. I hate to let this car go,
but I never drive it and it is time for someone else to enjoy it and
show it some love. I mentioned a lot of the bad stuff, but this car is a
turn key and go car that is ready for cruise nights and does not need
anything to enjoy it right now. The top is in good condition and has
always passed Delaware inspection and is currently tagged antique.
I will include new door panels and new carpet which I had planned to install. It is hard to sell this car, but it is finally the right time to do it. I'm hoping whoever buys it will fully restore it to its full glory. On Apr-02-14 at 05:33:36 PDT, seller added the following information: ADDED COWL TAG PHOTOS ON REQUEST |

Steve McQueen's last movie car, now Pawn Stars-owned, up for auction [w/video]
Sun, 03 Feb 2013The last car Steve McQueen ever drove in a movie is officially up for auction. The 1951 Chevrolet Styline DeLuxe Convertible you see above is now owned by none other than Rick Harrison of Pawn Stars fame, but once ferried McQueen around the set of his last film, 1980's The Hunter. That flick saw the Bullit star play a bumbling bounty hunter and didn't exactly set the box office on fire. McQueen bought the car after production wrapped, and four years later it sold at his estate sale at the Imperial Palace in Las Vegas.
Flash forward to 2003, and the convertible received a full restoration back to near-stock specifications. Hagerty Insurance estimates the car to be worth around $45,000 without the significant providence. Given its ties to one of film's most popular gearheads, the old Chevrolet could fetch up to 10 times that when it goes under the gavel in Ft Luaderdale, Florida on March 22. You can head over to the Auctions America site for more information. You can also check out the trailer for The Hunter below.
2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra show all their sides in Detroit
Tue, 15 Jan 2013There could hardly be more riding on the next-generation General Motors full-size pickup trucks, so the automaker has wisely made sure to have a selection of different models on hand at the Detroit Auto Show to show off. The 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and 2014 GMC Sierra were both officially introduced last month at a stand-alone reveal, and now they'll be on display for the public to see in various body configurations and trim levels.
The Silverado LTZ Crew Cab and Sierra SLE Extended Cab are aimed at providing more of a high-end pickup experience, while the Silverado LT Z71 Extended Cab and Sierra SLT Z71 Crew Cab should have off-road fans scouting out their favorite trails. The crew cab trucks won't go into production until sometime during the second quarter of this year - with other bodystyles coming later in the year - but we have plenty of live images from Detroit for you to enjoy.
2014 Chevy Cruze Diesel arrives with 42 mpg for $25,695*
Thu, 07 Feb 2013The last time General Motors had a diesel passenger car in the US, it was the 1.8-liter 1986 Chevette. At the 2013 Chicago Auto Show today, GM is unveiling the much-anticipated 2014 Chevrolet Cruze Diesel. The compact bows with a 2.0-liter turbo-diesel four-cylinder engine that boasts 148 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, with full twist coming on at just 2,000 rpm. What's more, the common-rail, direct-injection diesel features an overboost function that allows the engine to deliver up to 280 lb-ft of torque for 10 seconds at a time. Even with 10 more horsepower and 110 more pound-feet of torque than the available turbocharged 1.4-liter four-cylinder in the Cruze, the 2.0-liter diesel engine can return up to 42 mpg (highway) bolted to its six-speed automatic transmission.
If you're counting, that figure meets the less powerful Cruze Eco with a six-speed manual transmission. More importantly, the auto transmission Cruze Diesel matches its main competition, the Volkswagen Jetta TDI, in highway fuel economy. The Cruze 2.0 TD (as it will be badged) can also handle up to 20 percent biodiesel (B20), whereas the Jetta is rated only for B5. General Motors has not released city fuel economy for its newest diesel, but we do know how much it will cost you to jump behind the driver's seat.
GM will kindly ask for $25,695, plus an $810 destination fee. That marks a $2,115 premium over a loaded Cruze LTZ Auto and $2,640 more than the Jetta TDI, though the MSRP will net you a leather interior, 17-inch alloy wheels and an Aero Performance Package, as well as a two-year maintenance plan and five-year, 100,000-mile powertrain warranty. Compared to the gas-powered Cruze, you also lose a couple cubic feet of rear cargo space thanks to a 17-liter diesel emission fluid tank. That urea fluid, which helps put the clean in clean diesel, will need to be refilled at least every 10,000 miles.
