The following is a summary of the work we did on the 1966 Impala SS convertible. No doubt some improvements have not been listed. It was a long and costly process. I have many, but not all receipts. I do, however, have a listing of improvements I compiled for my auto insurance company dated 12/31/04 which serves as the core for the following list: 

Car purchased in 1999. The following was done between 99-2004:

Engine Rebuild: Total rebuild of existing 327 ci motor by qualified mechanic (Fred's Automotive, Clayton, WA). New motor is just short of 350hp. Engine compartment was detailed, built new transmission cooler lines, repaired wiring as needed, purchased and installed headers, master brake cylinder, turned break drums, new brake pads, new radiator and hoses, new water pump, new fuel pump. I would guess I have less than 2000 miles on the car since all the major repairs have been done. The vehicle came with a new Edelbrock 4 barrel carburetor (650 I think) and Edelbrock head. 

Suspension: Installation of new shocks, springs, wheel seals, stabilizer bar, bushings, brake hoses, front end alignment by Fred's Automotive. 

Convertible top improvements: New convertible top cylinders/pump/hose kit, convertible rubber seal and latch.....Fred's Auto.

Turbo 350 transmission: Took out old torque flite 2 speed tranny, and had a rebuilt Turbo 350 professionally installed. 

Interior Improvements: New door panels purchased and then recovered. Refurbished/recovered front and back seats, purchased/recovered new back side panels. Computer stitching of "Impala" on front seats and "Super Sport" on back seats. Recovered front visors. Work done or contracted through Lee Henning upholstery specialist, Deer Park, WA. New vinyl trunk mat, molded carpet kit, sound deadener kit installed. Installation of Promatic 2 / Hurst automatic shifter by Fred's Auto. 

Electrical improvements: New fuse box and rear light assembly installed by Jake's Automotive, Deer Park, WA. 

New sound system: Alpine AM/FM/CD receiver purchased and professionally installed under the dash; Eclipse 6.5 inch speakers professionally installed in door panels; Eclipse 12 inch speakers installed in box in the trunk + JBL 600 watt amplifier. 

Following done in 2006-7 by "Precious Metals" auto body specialists, Deer Park, WA:

Exterior refurbish. All rust was cut out and "skins" purchased and welded in around wheel wells and lower rear body panels. New rocker panels. Body repainted gun metal grey with clear coat and metal flake. All new SS tagging, chrome and aluminum body and wheel well trim. Vast majority of the rubber moldings were replaced. New tumblers for locks/ignition. 

Interior work: New clock installed, but unfortunately still doesn't work. Power antenna installed on passenger side/rear panel. New "Flaming River" tilt steering column + new wood steering wheel installed. 

Also done 2006-7:

New tires: Cooper 235-60-R16 M+S. CS4 - Touring. Less than 1000 miles on them. 

New wheels: American Racing polished aluminum wheels

To do:

Top is serviceable without any rips but needs replacement. I would purchase an old AM radio to stick in the dash where the hole is; just for show. I would make adjustment on glove compartment door lock so it opens/closes smoothly. 

This info is accurate to the best of my knowledge, but car will be sold as-is with no warranty, stated or implied. 

The value of the car according to Hagerty is approximately $18,634, computed as a Condition 3 vehicle (#1 is highest; 4 is lowest). 

This car comes from the Western US (salt free roads not a rust bucket)

More Corvette Stingray Factoids: Vanishing panel gaps and 26-mpg LT1

Thu, 28 Feb 2013

During January's Detroit Auto Show, we managed a longer than expected wandering tag-team interview with C7 Corvette chief engineering exec Tadge Juechter (pictured above), and LT1 engine boss Jordan Lee (pictured below). They are, quite honestly, two of the very nicest bigshot lads to ever walk the engineering corridors of an American manufacturer. Both are enthralled by what they're doing for a day job. So are we.
We've followed the pre-sale anticipation for the Chevrolet C7 Corvette Stingray like an Oreck vacuum yanking every speck of dirt from a well-trampled carpet. Everything is reportable and contains a grain of further knowledge about this dramatically important and cheered-for car, as it continues to be pressured into representing all that is superior about the American dream. The Corvette wears one heavy cloak.
So, most of what was talked about has been expertly reported already right here on Autoblog. But, looking through our notes again, both Jeuchter and Lee added facts to the buzzing mix.

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.

Man surprises girlfriend with C7 Corvette

Mon, 07 Oct 2013

How would you react if someone just showed up at your place of work with a new, 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, complete with all the trimmings? While a lot of us would likely be flipping out over the still rare sports car, it's a fair bet many more of us would be responding like Pattie here, whose boyfriend stopped by her work to show her her new C7.
Speechless and shocked as she seems, she does end up taking it out for a drive, despite claiming she wasn't really outfitted to handle the car's seven-speed manual transmission at the time. From the sound of the video, we got the impression that she knew the car was coming, just not that it was anywhere near ready for delivery. It also, as Pattie says, seems like her boyfriend is more excited about the car than she (which, can we blame him?). Take a look down below for the full video of this C7 Stingray delivery.
