1970 Impala Convertible, NOT original. This car was purchased by me in the early 90's. The original driveline including engine, transmission, exhaust, and suspension (springs, shocks, bushings, etc.) was replaced with high performance items.

Engine is 454 built by a professional engine builder. Holley carb. Edelbrock intake manifold. Electronic ignition. Transmission is a THD 350 with manual shift kit. Exhaust is Hooker headers. 12 bolt rear (non posi). Car is only taken out for a ride once every couple of years. It is very powerful.

It is possible that the mileage is really 56,296 and not 156,296 but I listed it high so as not to get involved in that discussion. I don't think that I have put 2,000 miles on it since the driveline was replaced, and I was told it had one owner before me who just used it around town.

Outside condition is pretty good. Interior needs work. I never hooked up the AC fan belt, though the pump and system are intact. I would recommend charging it and having it checked out first if you want to use AC.

When I turned on the heater this year, it sounded like an acorn had gotten into the fan. I had someone working on the wiring, and he took out one switch and one window motor. I have them. He also took out a set of aftermarket speakers mounted in the back, leaving holes in the trim as shown. Seats are shown in pictures. Vent hoses from heating/AC have fallen apart. I only take it out in the summer so I never fixed it.

Front wiring harness was replaced with driveline. New convertible motor. I have extra parts such as ashtrays, cigarette lighters, and hubcaps that go with the car.

The car is a driver. Engine is powerful, controllable and responsive. Handling is tight. Built to be a highway car. Car is registered and inspected.

As is. No returns. Need the room in the garage.

Thanks for looking.

Indian tuner turns Chevy Optra into Mustang 'Eleanor' replica

Fri, 03 Aug 2012

If you are a big fan of automotive oddities, this may come as a little treat. If you are a Shelby or Mustang diehard, prepare to have your sensibilities violated.
The master fabricators at BigDaddyCustoms are the minds behind what you see above. At first, it appears to be a slightly misshapen custom Mustang, modeled after "Eleanor" from Gone In 60 Seconds, but upon further examination, something appears to be amiss. In fact, the custom shop, based in India, has created an Eleanor replica grafted upon a lowly Chevrolet Optra. While it may take a second for the Optra to ring a bell, you should recognize its badge-engineered sibling, the Daewoo Lacetti, used on Top Gear.
We don't know what star would opt for the Reasonably Priced Car in Shelby's clothing, but it's clearly someone more concerned with the aesthetic than the performance credentials of this automotive mash-up.

2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra show all their sides in Detroit

Tue, 15 Jan 2013

There 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.

2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Convertible is the track car for sun worshippers

Fri, 11 Apr 2014



Supercharged, 6.2-liter V8? Check. Seven-speed manual? Check. Obsession with weight? Check.
What did you expect when Chevrolet said it was bringing a new Corvette variant to the 2014 New York Auto Show? Maybe a sticker and trim package, like the C6 Corvette Grand Sport or a tie-in deal like the Black Widow car from Chicago? On the opposite end, maybe there was an even more hardcore Z06 waiting in the wings. Who knew?
