1972 Chevy Impala 2dr Coupe 55k Original Miles Great Shape, Needs Very Little! on 2040-cars
Kingston, New York, United States
I am very reluctantly selling my 1972 Chevy Impala that my brother and I
got a couple of years ago. This car is beautiful, fresh paint last
summer, has not been driven since just after the paint was done. Has
been off the road since then. Let me tell you a little about the car. It
has a 350 v8, 55,000 miles on it (approx), all original. When we bought
this, it was 100% original, we just had it painted to freshen it up
(light blue pearl with white pearl roof). The interior is in great shape
with a couple of exceptions. There is a tear in the in the driver seat
back rest, about 3" by 2". Also a small split in the driver seat. The
front and back dash boards were not in good shape, so we tore them out.
You will have to have those replaced. The tires are original from the
70s, so those will have to be replaced, but they are not cracking or
anything. The weatherstripping is not in great shape either. Other than
that, the car is in amazing condition. Like I said, it is almost 100%
original today. This was purchased from a guy that had bought it at an
estate sale about 25 yrs ago. The original owner had died and this guy
bought it and garaged it, never driving it for about 25 yrs. When we got
it, we drove it to Kingston from northern Vermont, no issues at all. We
had the liquids checked out and changed where necessary. We had a new
water pump installed, new tie rod on the front end, and a new paint job.
That was pretty much the extent of what needed to be done, aside from
the things that need to be fixed that I mentioned already. This is an
amazing car, but the times have forced us to sell. I will also include a
bunch of stereo equipment that we never installed, including speakers
(Alpine), a subwoofer (Cerwin Vega), and an alpine cd player. We are open to reasonable offers, but you're not going to find too many cars in this original condition. Car is being sold "as is". I have described it to the best of my ability, but remember that this is a 42 year old car. Hate to see it go, but don't have any more time to play with it.

Top horsepower-per-dollar cars in 2017
Tue, Feb 17 2015Bang for the buck. That quasi-scientific statistic is bandied about by motor heads everywhere from classrooms to barrooms, though the truth of the matter is that it's exceedingly complex to measure. A fair performance-per-dollar index would include something like cross-referencing MSRP (Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price) with point-to-point times on a track or driving route, which is obviously hard to do comprehensively. But, for the sheer joy of talking about cars and playing with a big spreadsheet, there's always the horsepower-per-dollar index, which is more straightforward, albeit hilariously flawed. There are vagaries even with this simple formula, of course: MSRP for vehicles can change at a moment's notice, to say nothing of the bottom-line shifting that happens with local deals or showroom negotiation. For this list we're running with the straight MSRP wherever possible, and as recently reported as we can get it. All the vehicles on this list are 2017 models, and all trims are reported where the lowest price and differing power levels intersect. Some choices were made for personal preference and some for sanity, avoiding things like all 48 trim levels of the Ford Transit, all with the same horsepower). If this list were a simple top ten, or even a top fifty, you'd be bored to tears with all the red, white and blue that is represented. Following perfectly with conventional wisdom, American cars really do lead the world where hp/$ is concerned. So, for the sake of variety (and the sheer joy of seeing a minivan 'win' one round of this thing) I've sorted out some top five and bottom five lists for broad power categories. Let's dive in. Less Than 100 Horsepower Okay, okay, this is hardly a category we'll grant you. But we've often tried to click off all the sub-100-hp cars on sale in the US, and making this list gave us an excuse. It also illustrates that none of these smallish vehicles bring cheap horsepower to the table - for that you'll need a motorcycle. The segment-leading Chevy Spark (above) asks just over $139 for each hp, and that Smart Fortwo Electric Drive has hp on sale for about the same price as its very distant family cousin, the Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG (insert your favorite Smart joke here... we know you want to).
