Up for auction is my 1966 Impala SS.When I bought this car back in 2006 she had just 60561 actual miles.I purchased it from the nephew of the original owners who inherited it at their passing.This Impala SS was purchased new from Emrick Chevrolet here in Richmond,Va.resided in Charlottesville Va.and is now back in Richmond.It has been kept in a garage or pole barn since new.In the 7 1/2 years I have owned her she has also been garage kept.In that time I have added a few upgrades (all bolt on) to make it more reliable and driver friendly.These include but are not limited to the following; HEI distributor,"The Right Stuff " Power brake up grade with new booster,master cylinder and proportioning valve,front spindles and discs,rotors and pads,all new brake lines,and a rebuild of the rear drums with wheel cylinders and shoes.I topped her off with synthetic brake fluid which doesn't attract moisture.She will "stop on a dime".I also installed a new fuel tank and sending unit,new fuel lines and fuel pump,and I replaced the original Quadrajet with a new Edlebrock 600 cfm carb for reliability.She has a new radiator and water pump.I installed air shocks on the back(the schraeder is under the liscense plate) and most all of the rubber up front has been replaced.I also replaced the stock exhaust with great sounding duals that complement the V-8.All of this has been done during the 6,000 miles I have driven her.This Impala SS is powered by the original numbers matching 327 V-8 and Powerglide transmission(which was serviced with new filter and fluid).She shifts extremely smooth,Runs great,and handles like it should.I installed a set of vintage style slotted mags wrapped in BFGoodrich Radial T/A's.I also have kept all the original parts I removed with the exception of the exhaust,tank and lines and rubber.these parts will go with the car at sale if wanted by the new owner.
You'll notice I have not mentioned the interior.This Impala has the original interior she rolled off the line with.The headliner is excellent with no rips,tears or discoloration.The carpet is faded in spots but is not overly worn.Even under the mats it looks good.The rubber heel pad as well as the pedal rubber and chrome show only slight wear.You see in one of the pix one of the original build sheets under the carpet by the drivers seat.I have another one that came from under the back seat that is in much better shape.Also notice the seat belt retractors that still roll up the original seat belts.The center console still retains its color matching carpet liner and both inside and outside courtesy lights work.The back seat looks great and door and side panels are in great shape as well.The only place that is in need of repair is the front bucket seats.The passenger seat looks good but the bottom portion of the driver seat vinyl is split.These original style covers are readily available from many aftermarket suppliers(OPGI,Impala Bobs,Ecklers etc.)The dash pad has two thin cracks that run from the speaker area toward the windshield.They are not unsightly and do not detract from the original patina of the interior.The instument panel is very nice and the green"cold"light still stays on until the engine has warmed up.The radio lights up when on but no sound comes out.With regular driving the clock will even run when it wants to.This Impala has very nice chrome that runs around the interior roofline and glass.Classy.All new roofline and door weatherstrip.A very nice all original interior.
This Impala retains all its original sheetmetal positioned exactly as it was from new.It has never had any rust repair.I stripped the original Wimbleton white paint down to the metal and had it basecoat/clearcoated in GM Arrival blue metallic.The trunk is excellent with the original splatterpaint intact.This is an extremely nice example of an unmolested,well cared for Impala SS.If you want a car you can hop in and drive with no worries this may be for you.I don't drive her enough to justify keeping her and she really needs to be driven and enjoyed by someone who has the time.Bid to Buy and if you have 0 feedback please email me before you bid.Thanks.

2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray convertible headed for Geneva debut
Mon, 28 Jan 2013While most of the world is still coming down from all the hype surrounding the debut of the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this month, we're already looking to the future. And according to Autoweek, the next chapter in the C7 story will unfold at the Geneva Motor Show in March. That's right, General Motors is reportedly using the Swiss stage as its venue to debut the Corvette Stingray convertible.
If this strikes you as odd, you aren't alone. After all, with a car that's such an American icon, we'd fully expect Chevrolet to unveil it here on our shores in either Chicago or New York. But according to Autoweek, GM is looking to boost export sales of its halo car, and since the C7 was engineered to compete with the world's best and brightest, showing it off in Geneva is somewhat of a smart move. What's more, those with sharp memories will recall that GM used the Geneva expo to debut the sixth-generation C6 Corvette convertible back in March 2004, so there's also a precedent.
Details surrounding the Corvette Stingray convertible are still slim, though we fully expect the 6.2-liter V8 and choice of either six-speed automatic or seven-speed manual transmissions to carry over unchanged. Prototypes spotted on the road showed the car fitted with a cloth convertible roof, as well.
Race Recap: 2013 Twelve Hours of Sebring, cakewalk up front, grindfest out back [w/spoilers]
Tue, 19 Mar 2013This year's 12 Hours of Sebring wasn't exactly a foregone conclusion because we're still talking about racing, and anything can happen when the speeds are as high as the adrenaline and the desire. But we're still talking about Audi bringing it's two top-spec racers - and its huge budget and its nearly neurotic attention to detail - to a race that it uses as a test bed for The 24 Hours of Le Mans and as a way to open the endurance racing season with a victory.
Besides, 12 hours is a long time, especially at Sebring, and things didn't go all Audi's way. On top of that, although it was a pretty quiet race, behind the Audis things got even grimier, with plenty of battles, plenty of mechanical issues, and the new BMW Z4 GTE and Viper GTS-R being race tested. Oh, and that brand new chromed-out DeltaWing...
GM sweetens military discount for Buick, Chevy and GMC
Sun, 06 Oct 2013American servicemen and women interested in a new vehicle from Chevrolet, Buick or GMC now have a bit more incentive to head down to their local dealer, as General Motors has announced plans to improve its military discount program.
The new GM Military Discount Program offers eligible consumers a new Chevy, Buick or GMC at invoice pricing, which in some cases can take very large chunks out of a car's retail price. When factored in with other incentives, most of which are available with the Military Discount, the bargains are thick on the ground for members of the US armed forces.
GM's Retail Sales and Marketing Support general manager, Chuck Thomson, said, "GM has long supported the military and military families, and we hope this simplified and enhanced discount will show our appreciation for their service and help make it easier for them to own one of our great new vehicles." The program is open to all active duty and reserve members in the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, National Guard and Coast Guard, as well as veterans that have been out of the service for less than a year. Military retirees and their spouses are also eligible for the discount.
