Up for auction is a really nice 1966 Chevrolet Impala Sport Coupe. It has Impala SS emblems on it but it is not an SS. She was originally built in Atlanta and sold new in South Carolina. I have the original owners manual and protect-o-plate to go along. There are many upgrades to this Impala beginning with the 454 Big Block engine. This Big Block is the low horsepower engine with an aluminum intake and a new Holley Carb. She has a new electronic ignition. There is also dual exhaust with nice sounding mufflers and tailpipes that come out at the correct factory location. There is a brand new Turbo 350 Transmission and torque converter and I have the receipt for that. There is a picture to show the proper transmission shift linkage on the column just as the factory had for this car. The engine and transmission work great and this car has lots of power. There are no fluid leaks of any kind. The brakes have been upgraded to drilled and slotted disc brakes on the front and drum brakes on the rear. A power brake booster was part of this conversion kit. She has 15 inch by 8 inch aftermarket ralley wheels to accommodate the disc brakes.
The body of this Impala is very solid and has been repainted sometime before I bought the car. I would call it a great 10 footer. All exterior chrome moldings have been removed from the side of the Impala giving her a unique look. The car was not originally bright red but this color really sets this Impala apart from other Impalas. She gets lot's of looks at the local cruise in. The trunk floor is very solid with only a spot of rust on the right side. A picture shows this. The floors are also very solid with only one spot on the passenger floor about the size of your fist. Again I've attempted to show with a picture. I have many pictures and can always provide more.
The interior is really great! It is all black. No marks or issues with the seats, door panels or headliner. The dash is pretty much original and has an AM-FM Radio. The mileage is 97,105 and believed to be original but I have no evidence to support that. The car runs and drives well and the mileage may go up between now and the end of this auction as I do drive this Impala. The car does require a few things, one she could use some new tires, two she needs a front end alignment since the installation of the new braking system and three she needs a new heater core which I will include with the sale. Now I don't have to sell this car. I have too many and this one is forced to sit outside. As everyone knows that is not the best thing for a classic car so I will see if anyone wants to continue what was started on this car. She does need a few things and I have her priced accordingly but I will not give her away. I have a clear North Carolina title in my name. I will help you or your agent load her up but this Impala will not leave my property before being paid in full. Please no scams with any kind of check. I will not accept them. Cash or bank transfers. If you have less than a +5 feedback please email me before bidding or I will reject your bid. No buy it now price and I will not end the auction early. Yes there is a reserve but I will keep that to myself. This Impala is also for sale locally and could be sold at anytime but once the reserve is met I will allow the auction to run it's course and sell to the highest bidder. This is an opportunity to get started in the collector hobby with a running driving car that shows great potential. This Impala is sold as-is with no warranties expressed or implied with no returns.

Chevy Corvette gets Valet Mode with Performance Data Recorder [w/video]
Mon, 18 Aug 2014For the 2015-model-year, Chevrolet introduces Valet Mode for the Corvette, an enhancement to the Performance Data Recorder (PDR) already available and to your peace of mind. The PDR already captures 720p HD video with a windshield-mounted camera, records interior audio with a cabin microphone and gathers telemetry data using GPS, saving the data to an SD card in the glovebox. You can then watch your track-day antics with various information overlays on the center console screen.
Valet Mode will let you hit 'Replay' when your car gets pulled up front smelling vaguely of fricasseed clutch. Turned on by entering a four-digit code, it also locks the interior storage spaces and turns off the infotainment system. It can't be turned off until the code is re-entered. There's a press release below with more information as well as a video that explains how it works, with the obligatory dig at the 'Vette's biggest foe.
Diesel Power finds the ultimate modified oil-burner
Sat, 24 Aug 2013For nine years, Diesel Power magazine has run the Diesel Power Challenge, this year's grindfest being "a week-long torture test that features seven events, nine trucks, 8,000 horsepower, and nearly 15,000 pound-feet of torque." The road to being crowned "the most powerful truck" starts with a dyno run, and then continues through the completion of a CDL-style obstacle course, an eighth-of-a-mile drag race while towing a 10,000-pound trailer, a quarter-mile drag race without a trailer, a fuel economy test in the mountains and finally a sled-pulling test through a 300-foot-long packed-mud pit.
What kind of trucks get into such a fight? Last year's winner, for instance - who upgraded his truck this year to prove he didn't "luck into the win" - drives a 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty with a 6.4-liter Power Stroke V8 upgraded with a custom intake, Elite Diesel triple turbos and a two-stage nitrous system. Another competitor has a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 powered by a 5.9-liter Cummins inline-six, upgraded with Garrett turbos, dual-stage nitrous, a seven-inch exhaust stack and twin fans built into the bed to cool the Sun Coast Omega transmission. The numbers on that truck: 1,255 horsepower, and 2,063 pound-feet of torque at the wheels. Naturally, as the image above might suggest, things don't always end well.
You'll find all five videos covering this years challenge below. A scene in the dyno video sums it all up perfectly: a competitor leaves his nitrous on too long and the crew is treated to some ominous poppings, he leans out the window, throws both hands up and shouts, "Amer'ca!"
Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues
Wed, 28 Dec 2011'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.
