This is my 1966 Impala Sport Coupe. It started life as a base model, 283/powerglide/10 bolt car. Now- 427 Big Block, M-20 4-speed, 12 Bolt Posi rear with 3.73's. Now it's fun.  There are some parts taken from various Super Sport cars I've picked apart over the years. Bucket Seats, 4 speed pedals, grill emblem, trunk emblem, and I have Super Sport fenders if the high bidder would like them.  The car was purchased by me about 4 years ago from a guy who had owned it since the 80's. He bought it from the original lady owner/family friend who mostly drove it in the summer.   He did the body work, lower quarters and some fender work. Neither of us ever got to painting it. He kept it stored all those years in a wood stove heated garage, and since I've owned it, it's never been in the rain. Very solid car, rust free floors, trunk, rockers, etc... I have and will include all of the exterior trim for the car, and it's in very nice shape.  I made the Hood for it and it's the one on the car now. It's got the bumps from a 67 SS Chevelle grafted onto a stock hood, gives it some Hot Rod flavor. The stock tan hood is included too.  The interior shows its age and could use freshening up. The seats are marina blue 66 impala SS buckets that have seat covers on them, the rest of the fawn interior appears to be original. Front shocks are new, springs are for a small block- it sits low, looks mean.  New urethane sway bar bushings. It has power steering, no power brakes. 4 wheel drum, however, I will be including a set of spindles from a 73 Corvette. These are a great alternative to China crap when converting to disk brakes. Look it up, it's being done and the calipers, pads, rotors etc... can all be had from Napa. The wheels are 15x7 and 15x8 Corvette Ralley wheels, 255/60/15 fronts, 275/60/15 rears, Goodyear Eagle GT-II tires with low miles.  The pics shown with the SS emblems are how it is now, the pics without are to show the stock hood, really not much difference.

Engine: 1970 402 Big Block Chevy bored to 4.25 with Keith Black pistons 9.75:1  Crank turned 10/10, new bearings throughout. Heads are a set of 1970 820's oval port, open chamber that have had a competition valve job, new parts installed and new comp springs. The valve train is a Comp Thumper set up, Edelbrock performer intake, Holley 750 Street HP carb (new/no choke), Crane Electronic ignition module, MSD 8.8mm wires, Hooker Super Comp. Headers, Pypes 2 1/2" Dual Exhaust.  Also has a Griffin aluminum radiator, 2 speed electric fan, New 75 amp alternator, solid state regulator, and Bosch starter.  Interstate battery too.

Transmission: 1973 Muncie M-20 4 speed. 26 spline input, large (turbo 400) output, Hurst completion plus shifter, Ram Billet flywheel and 11" Clutch. Severe Duty U-joints.  The front seal has a slight leak, and the 2nd gear synchro gets touchy. Sometimes it shifts perfect into 2nd, other times it may grind.

Rear End: 1965 Impala 12 Bolt  2 upper control arms, 2 lower control arms- Must have for horsepower. All new urethane bushings when it was installed, new shocks, new coil springs, breaks gone through.  Detroit Tru-Trac Posi unit with a new Richmond 3.73 Gear set all professionally set up.

This car is a fast, and it cruises well. Check out the pictures and ask questions. If your local, inspections are ok. Serious about selling, you should be just as serious about buying. Sold As is / Where is.  $500.00 Non-Refundable deposit due within 24 hours of auctions end. I'd like to see the car picked up within 10 days of auctions end unless other arrangements are made. Shipping is on you, but I will assist with getting it on a truck and on it's way. This is a solid car with a reasonable reserve. I've got other interests and need the space. Good Luck

GM takes heat for aborted Silverado riff on 'Boston Strong' at World Series

Thu, 31 Oct 2013

During game five of the World Series, Chevrolet was set to do a spot of marketing for the 2014 Silverado - fans at Busch Stadium in St. Louis would hold up placards that spelled out the words "Silverado Strong," a theme that Chevy has been promoting since the Silverado's launch with the song "Strong," by Will Hoge. The St. Louis promo was ultimately called off, though, over concerns that it'd be insensitive to the visiting Boston Red Sox. (You can see the image of what the stunt would have looked like above, courtesy of one timely Reddit user.)
Now, the Busch Stadium stunt might not have been a big deal, had the St. Louis Cardinals not been playing the Boston Red Sox. Following the tragic events in Boston during the marathon back in April, the phrase "Boston Strong" gained traction among the city's citizens, especially at sporting events. So, you can imagine that Chevy's appropriation of the phrase might not sit well with some fans.
The stunt was ultimately shelved after images of the signs went viral before the game, leading to a bit of a public backlash. Chevy spokesperson Michael Albano said of the promo that it was meant to show the brand's "commitment to baseball and its fans." But after the images went viral, the company "realized there was the possibility that we may offend some of the very fans we were trying to honor," Albano told Automotive News via email.

Chevy Bolt wins 2017 Green Car of the Year

Thu, Nov 17 2016

We knew that a plug-in vehicle was going to win the 2017 Green Car of the Year award this year, given that all five finalists have a way to charge up. And when Ron Cogan, the editor and publisher of Green Car Journal, announced the winner – the 2017 Chevy Bolt EV – he said that the car itself represents one of those times in the auto industry when everything is about to change. Similar to the invention of the starter motor, things are about to get different. For now, though, the fact that the Bolt EV won an award sounds like the same old thing all over again. Just this week, it was named Motor Trends Car of the Year and to the Car And Driver Top 10 list. The other four finalists for Green Car of the Year included the Toyota Prius Prime, the Chrysler Pacifica, the Kia Optima (including hybrid and plug-in hybrid models) and the BMW 330e iPerformance. Last year, the winner was the 2016 Chevy Volt. Did Green Car Journal make the right selection this year? See the award ceremony below.
