For your consideration is my '69 Impala 427 SS Custom Coupe.  This car was sold to the Volo Auto Museum by the family of the original owner in 2001.  It was restored in the late 90's to its original glory.  The original motor was blown sometime in the mid-late '70's and was dealer replaced.  The 400 TH transmission and 12 bolt posi rear end are original to the car.  Other than the car's short stint in Volo, IL, the car has been a southern car its entire life.  It went from Alabama to Volo, IL to Vidalia, Georgia, finally ending up in Augusta, Georgia in my garage. I purchased it from the folks who got the car from Volo. 

This car is an overall nice driver.  The paint is nice with a few touch ups.  This is a nice, straight car, not a thrown together bondo bucket. It was refinished in its original Garnet Red with parchment formal vinyl top.  There is no rust on this car anywhere. The top is nice, with no bubbling or soft spots.  The stainless is nice. The bumpers are decent driver quality and have a good shine.  The 15" Rallyes are wrapped in newer Goodyears.  The glass and interior are nice.  The seats and door panels were replaced in the late '90's and still look great.  The car runs and drives great.  It shifts through the gears very nicely.  The power disc brakes definitely do their job.  The car stops straight and true, with no pulling right or left.  There are no fluid leaks.  The air conditioner blows great, but needs a recharge. It has not been converted.  Everything works on the car except for the clock.  The car was ordered with the factory AM/FM radio that still sits in the bezel and it works great.  Have you priced one of these?

As I said, this is an overall nice driver.  If you take it to nearly any show or cruise in, chances are better than not that you will be the only one there with a car like this, since there were only 2,455 built.  The year 1969 was the last year for the Impala SS until 1994.  All SS cars in '69 were 427 cars.  My car is the real deal, not a tribute.  Please call Andy at (706) 836-4410 with questions.  I will be listing the car elsewhere, so I reserve the right to end the auction early. Please...serious calls and bids only. Thanks for looking.  As much as I'd love a '66 Impals 396 SS, I can't trade right now. Thanks

For some reason when I clicked "enlarge picture when mouse goes over picture" (or whatever it says), it won't enlarge or zoom in. I tried to revise twice. The box "is clicked" but to no avail....If anyone would like a more detailed picture, shoot me an email, text or call me and I'll be glad to send whatever you'd like. The car looks much nicer in person, so please come and see and drive it if you are close. With only a few hours into the listing, I've already had a call inquiring about a "buy it now". My reserve is a little more than half of what others are asking for a true 69 SS car. Thanks

I meant to also address a question that I got on the car regarding the "SS" logo and there not being an "Impala" script on the fenders like there is on another 69 SS that's offered on ebay.  The other car is a "Sport Coupe" and mine is a "Custom Coupe".  All Sport Coupes recieved the SS and the Impala badging on the fenders, where as all Custom Coupes received the SS badging only on the fenders.  A combination of Sport Coupes, Custom Coupes and Convertibles accounted for the 2,455 units. Check some of the Impala sites and blogs and you'll find this info there as well.


On Jul-18-14 at 09:43:02 PDT, seller added the following information:

Several folks have asked for a picture of the VIN and/or cowl tag. I had one picture left, so I posted the cowl tag. I have a picture of the vin on the driver's side of the transmission and of the vin on the dash. If anyone wants pictures of those, send an email address or number to text picture to. I can only have 24 pictures in this add.

Chevy, Lincoln dealers say they still want sedans

Mon, Feb 17 2020

Detroit automakers have famously turned their backs on sedans as they make the strategic bet to double down on money-making trucks and SUVs, but dealers for at least two American brands are giving the companies contrary signals. In separate recent interviews with leading national dealer councils for Chevrolet and Lincoln, Automotive News reports that both brands’ dealers still see a need for cars. The publication published a Q&A interview with Mike Bowsher, chairman of the Chevrolet National Dealer Council, who said Chevy dealers managed to hold onto market share last year despite the phase-out of the Cruze compact sedan and hatchback, thanks to products like the Spark and Sonic subcompacts and the Trax and Equinox crossovers. But, he acknowledged, “We do feel like we could use a car, especially in the low-MSRP range.” The comments follow similar recent comments from Tom Lynch, who chairs the Lincoln National Dealer Council. He told AN, “If weÂ’re not in segments where there is still a good amount of business, I think the company and the dealers lose out.” The Cruze was one of the victims of GMÂ’s November 2018 announcement of plant closures, with production having ceased with the closure of GMÂ’s Lordstown, Ohio assembly plant last year. GM sold 47,975 Cruzes in 2019 but a healthy 142,617 in 2018. At Lincoln, Lynch said the council has been telling the company it needs to stick with the sedan segment, despite plans to kill the MKZ sedan in the coming months and unconfirmed reports that the Continental isnÂ’t long for this world, either, despite the buzz of the suicide-door Coach Door Edition, shown in the photo above. Lincoln sold 17,725 MKZs and 6,586 Continental sedans in 2019, down a combined 15%, but still good for almost 22% of overall Lincoln sales. It's worth noting that Lincoln competes in a luxury segment that still expresses allegiance to four- and two-door cars. Even Cadillac, its cross-town rival, is staying active with the upcoming CT5 and CT4 sedans. Lynch pointed to Tesla as evidence that strong sedan products can resonate with consumers, though he conceded that “What that looks like for Lincoln going forward, IÂ’m not sure of.” For now, anyway, Chevy still offers the Sonic and Spark subcompacts, the latter of which saw sales climb 32.5% in 2019 to 31,281 (Sonic sales fell nearly as steeply).

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.

Evatran, Bosch will sell wireless home charger for as low as $1,998*

Mon, Jan 6 2014

At the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas today, the big news for plug in vehicles is that they can now start to ditch the plug. As expected, the system costs around $3,000 and is available for both the Nissan Leaf and the Chevrolet Volt. For the first 250 customers, though, Evatran is offering $1,000 off the standard price, a 30 percent discount. Deliveries start next month and Evatran says it expects the discounted units to all be snatched up in the first half of the year. The wireless charger charges as quickly as conventional corded systems. Called the Plugless Wireless EV charger, the 240-volt station will be installed by Bosch and needs a specific adapter to be used with the Volt or the Leaf (the Leaf version costs $100 more). So, any two-EV families out there will need to pony up double if there's a Chevy and a Nissan in the garage. Of course, since the Plugless system only works with older Leafs (2010-2012 model years - but with any Volt), any late adopters will not be able to take advantage of the new technology, for now. Evatran says the wireless charger "charges the Volt and Leaf as quickly as conventional corded systems and all vehicle features, such as charge-timers and phone applications, can be used seamlessly with the Plugless system." After the first 250 units, standard prices for the wireless chargers take effect again: $2,998 (Volt) and $3,098 (Leaf). Evatran says it will announce wireless chargers for additional vehicles and model years later this year. Evatran and Bosch offer Promotional Pricing as low as $1,998 to first 250 PLUGLESS™ Wireless EV Charging Customers LAS VEGAS, Jan. 6, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Evatran Group, Inc. ("Evatran"), in partnership with Bosch Automotive Service Solutions, announced today at the 2014 Consumer Electronics Show that it is offering reduced promotional pricing to the first 250 customers who opt to Go PLUGLESS with their electric vehicle ("EV") experience. The PLUGLESS system offers a convenient, wireless charging alternative to the repetitive process of unplugging and plugging-in electric vehicles. The reduced pricing includes all charging hardware and is as much as a 30% discount off the system's standard MSRP. The discount is available only to the first 250 customers. Initial shipments of the PLUGLESS system, the first wireless EV charging product in the world available to individual EV drivers, will begin in February 2014.
