1961 Impala Convertible on 2040-cars
Anoka, Minnesota, United States
|
Body has minimum rust- rear quarters - some in drivers floor and rear pass floor on drivers side - little in passenger side floors. Car has been in my garage for the last 25-27 yrs. and before that in So. Dakota ; some parts had been changed when I got the car; Great front clip and trunk lid that need nothing! Doors are original and have very solid bottom seams, same for trunk lid lower seam. Pass side rear quarter has panel temporarily installed and drivers side would need panel. Check pictures for trunk floor condition: I think its unbelievably solid!!! Frame and rocker panels are great and doors fit and close like new: top bows,motor and pump are complete. There seems to be about 2 of every piece in the trunk and I will add more from my purchases over the last years. NO RUNNING GEAR in car!!!! I think it was a stick 283 but should make a very easy street rod project. I had been dreaming about corvette running gear for years but age and health tell me it will never happen here.
Now the bad: Windshield has crack, drivers door glass broken, other 3 windows look good: and crank up and down: I don't have rear bumper and car did not have power steering or power brakes. You don't see many "61" impala convertibles around and they sure look good with continental tire kit in rear bumper!!!!!! Thanks for looking. P. S. I have the owners guide for the car. |

Helicopter crashes on Top Gear Korea set while chasing Corvette ZR1
Mon, 11 Feb 2013The formula of Top Gear Korea is seemingly about the same as it is everywhere else in the world, including the flagship British original: involve interesting cars in fantastical situations with charismatic hosts. That prescription has proved to be pretty reliable over the years, and has lead to some truly memorable and exciting pieces of television.
Something like that was undoubtedly what the Korean producers were after when they lined up this segment - a drag race between a Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 and an AH1 Cobra military helicopter. The planners almost certainly did not expect the filming of the segment to go quite as wrong as it actually did, with the helicopter actually crashing into the dirt after the "drag race" had been completed. Thankfully, we're told that no one was seriously injured in the crash, but the footage, in the video below, is pretty damn chilling to watch, nevertheless.
Fewer than 1 in 3 Chevy dealers earn right to initially sell C7 Corvette
Mon, 01 Apr 2013Looking to make the launch of the 2014 Corvette Stingray as efficient as possible, Chevrolet will be limiting the numbers of its dealers that can sell the all-new coupe and convertible. According to Automotive News, sales of the C7 Corvette will initially be limited to less than a third of Chevy's total dealership network when the 'Vette goes on sale this summer.
Only 900 dealers out of more than 3,000 locations nationwide will be allowed to sell the new Corvette at first, and the reason for this is so that there are no shortages at dealers that can actually get the cars sold. The article says that the 900 dealerships chosen represented 80 percent of total Corvette sales in 2012.
Some of the requirements dealers had to make to get initial allocation of Stingray sales include having sold at least four Corvettes in 2012 and having a Corvette Stingray specialist who will be required to have gone through a training session costing more than $2,000 per attendee. Once demand for the 2014 Corvette Stingray begins to subside - approximately six to nine months after it goes on sale - then allocation could open up to more dealers, but the report indicates this could happen following the 2014 model year.
Corvette Stingray Convertible images mysteriously appear on web, so we add our own
Tue, 22 Jan 2013It was inevitable that we'd see the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray topless at some point, but that didn't make us any less interested when a pair of supposedly leaked official images showed up on theautoinsiderblog.com last week. We posted them on our Facebook page, but held off reporting on them here until we could get a little more information.
Those images, which feature a dark red car on a sterile black studio background, supposedly first appeared on the website of diecast model maker Maisto. A Chevrolet spokesman has been reported saying that they are "not official images released by Chevrolet PR," which isn't a denial they're the real deal, but neither is it a confirmation.
Close examination of the photos suggest they could be official shots of the Corvette Stingray Convertible, and while some have doubted their authenticity due to a lack of vents (which were seen on the C7s that debuted in Detroit last week), it could be that the images are of a base model car without the Z51 package that doesn't require the extra venting and cooling.
