This is a very nice, rare, and solid 1960 Chevy 2 door Impala bubble top. It is an older restoration that still shows very well. The car was completely disassemble to paint it this very attractive but non-factory color scheme. It is literally impossible to tell it was ever any other color. The color varies with the surrounding light levels. In the pictures I listed it appears to be more of a blue color than it actually is. In reality, it is more of a dark teal color in most lighting, but it is a very attractive color no matter what the surrounding light levels does to vary it. There is zero rust on this car as of now, the bottom is very clean, the door bottoms are solid, rockers solid, fenders, quarters, etc. but I can not honestly say that it has never had rust repair work done, and I do not know what State the car originated from. I do know that any replacement panels must have been professionally done as there are no signs of patchwork welds anywhere. It has all new weatherstripping. New tinted glass. All new reproduction interior. New gauges mounted to the same dash holes where the original gauges were. AM/ FM radio CD player in glove box. All new suspension, brakes, brake lines, etc. Power steering and brakes. All new polished American Torque thrust wheels and new B.F.Goodrich TA radial tires. The chrome and stainless trim is all in very nice shape but not newly re-plated. There are signs of where some of the trim was straightened out and polished, and the drivers side tail light bezel still has some dings and scratches on the edge of it. Car comes with matching color fender skirts, original factory steel wheels and hubcaps, front fender ornaments, and other misc, parts. Originally the car was built up as a 4 speed car and then later changed to the automatic. I do have every single piece to put it back to a 4 speed car, including Muncie 4 speed trans with Hurst shifter, bell housing, clutch, flywheel, all clutch rods, pedals, springs, drive shaft, etc. for an additional $875.00 if that would interest you. Currently, it is running a rebuilt 700-R4 over drive automatic with, now get this, a rebuilt 409 dual quad big block engine. Although it is not an original dual quad engine, it was built to similar specifications as one using a 1963 block and heads. It fires right up, choke works, and it cruises down the road like a new car. It also has a 3:55 factory posi rear end with the big "P" on the case. I was told it gets over 20 miles to the gallon on the highway, but have not verified that.

2013 Chevy COPO Camaro announced with two new engines and manual option
Thu, 07 Mar 2013Chevrolet is following up the 2012 COPO Camaro with another limited run of the drag-strip-ready production car for 2013. Ditching the superchargers, the 2013 COPO Camaro can only be equipped with one of three naturally aspirated V8 engines, and other new features include the option of a manual transmission, new front springs, some minor styling changes and a lower starting price of $86,000. All cars are designed to abide by the rules of the NHRA's Stock Eliminator or Super Stock classifications, depending on in which series buyers wish to enter their Chevrolet Camaro.
Returning for 2013 is the 427-cubic-inch V8 producing 425 horsepower, but the new engines include a 325-hp 350-CID V8 and a 375-hp 396-CID V8. Buyers can select to purchase all three engines, and each will be matched with the sequence number of that car; the track-only COPO cars will not have vehicle identification numbers and can't be registered for street use.
Chevrolet is also offering unique enthusiast-specific options such as a COPO Build Book and the opportunity for owners to help assemble their car's engine at the Chevrolet Performance Build Center in Wixom, MI.
GM warning 800,000 owners that their cars may need oil changes more frequently than they say
Fri, 05 Apr 2013The days of changing your engine oil every 3,000 miles are long gone thanks to most cars having automatic oil monitoring systems, but about 800,000 General Motors vehicles apparently have incorrect monitoring software that is leading to premature engine component wear. According to Autoweek, certain 2010-2012 Buick LaCrosse, Regal, Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain models equipped with 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines could be going too long in between oil changes resulting in a higher-than-normal number of warranty claims for the engine's balance chain. The balance chain links the balance shaft to the crankshaft, and a worn one can produce higher noise levels.
As a fix, GM dealers will be reprogramming the software for the monitors in an effort to reduce the interval between oil changes, which varies based on driving habits and conditions. Through February 2015, the software update will be done at no cost to vehicle owners, but since this is not a recall, after that point, it will be up to the discretion of dealers as to whether or not they will charge for the service. What isn't immediately clear is whether GM plans on giving assistance to out-of-warranty customers who are experiencing engine issues from the worn chain.
Chevy to show redesigned Captiva in Geneva, will it come to US rental lots?
Wed, 27 Feb 2013Unless you're renting a car or driving through Orlando, Florida (the rental car capital of the US), you'll probably never see a Chevrolet Captiva - the rebadged, fleet-only version of the old Saturn Vue - on our roads, but this crossover is popular in many other parts of the world. As such, Chevrolet announced that the Captiva will be getting an update for 2013, which will be unveiled next week at the Geneva Motor Show.
Coming off a pretty extensive refresh in 2011, the 2013 model year will bring even more changes to the Captiva like LED taillights, new 18-inch wheels and revised fascias with a new grille and fog lights up front and inset chrome exhaust outlets at the rear. New interior features include heated rear seats, dual-zone climate control as well as available options on some of the upper trim levels such as leather seating and keyless entry and start. We have yet to hear back from Chevrolet as to whether or not the updated Captiva will be making its way to a rental lot near you, as the model is only available in the US to fleet buyers.
Alongside the updated Captiva, Chevy is also showing off its new Trax in Europe, where the subcompact crossover will go on sale this spring. GM's press release for these two Geneva-bound models is posted below.
