1965 Chevy Impala SS Convertible

My name is Kurt Bonner and thanks for giving the auction of my 1965 Chevrolet Impala SS your consideration.  I have, over the past several years offered just a few nice classics here on eBay for sale.  I have done so with great success.  For one, I have sold every single one while listed, either via auction or at my hometown dealership in Whitehall Michigan, during its auction process.  Secondly and most importantly, I have received a consistent 100% satisfaction score from my customers here on eBay, as is evident by my feedback score of 100%.  If nothing else, that lets you know my description tells it like it is.   This in and of itself, can be of utmost importance when purchasing anything, but more so when considering the purchase of a classic vehicle such as this Impala SS Convertible.  If after completing the description, you have questions, please feel free to contact me directly at a reasonable hour at 231 578-2887.  I will be happy to answer your questions.

 As I mention above, I do own a small hometown style dealership in Whitehall Michigan.  The car was acquired from a terrifically hospitable husband and wife locally.  They owned the car for more than 25 years.  They simply didn’t drive it much.  Less than 150 miles in the last 10 years.  A number verified  by receipts I have.  The title I hold is actually dated May 1989, when the lien was paid and the new title was issued.    The car is, as stated, a 1965 Impala SS convertible.   That is a 283 V8 with an Automatic transmission.   The mileage is also stated to me as actual at 68787 has been verified by the plethora of receipts if have for the car.

As you might expect, around 1990 the car was restored.  It really was given a face lift that continued as it was driven over the next 4 or so years.  It was repainted in it’s original color, and received new trim, chrome and rubber as needed.  Four years following that the facelift, the Impala received a new NOS interior.  All of the aforementioned items remain on the car now and it still remains in beautiful condition.  The body and underside of the car are in great condition.   There is one chip in the paint on the top of the rear quarter panel.  For 25 years old paint, the car looks terrific.   I have left the car alone and remains in the condition I received the car in.   I have the car stored in my showroom and gets daily comments from local customers.  Mechanically, the car needed a new battery when I received it so one was installed.   All of the maintenance like oil changes, brakes, wheel cylinders, ect…, have been performed with receipts showing the dates for those items.  The tires were new in 2005 and have less than 150 miles on them since.   They are like new condition.  Upon purchasing, the car was driven 30 miles, with the top down to my dealerships showroom.  The car drives great.  Bid knowing you can drive it to your next cruise night without hesitation.  

 Just a few more details.  The convertible top was also replaced in the recent past (with glass rear window) and is controlled with the power button on the dash.  This operates just as it should both up and down.   It comes with a parade boot.  Boot looks good buy shows its age.  All the gauges appear to work as well as the factory in dash vacuum gauge.  Interior and exterior lights all work.  The SS retains the original 283 engine, air cleaner, exhaust manifolds, distributor, wiper washer bottle, owner’s manual, and brochures ect…that came with the car new.  Everything I have received, including the custom car cover, you will receive with your winning bid.  I encourage you to ask questions before the end of the auction.

 I believe it goes without saying, but I better say, the Impala is a 1965.  With that, it is going to have it’s 50th birthday coming up very soon.  Therefore, the sale of this great car is as is.  I can’t offer you a warranty, but will tell you my description is right on.  Questions will be answered accurately and honestly.  If you bid based on that alone, you will not be dissatisfied with your ultimate purchase of this very fine 1965 Chevrolet Impala SS Convertible.    I do have contacts that in some cases can assist in the transportation of this Impala to you however, you, the buyers will ultimately responsible for the shipping cost and arrangements.  I am fair and easy to deal with.   Please have your finances in order and be prepared to submit a $1000.00 deposit, via paypal upon winning the auction with the balance to be paid in full no later than 7 days following the auction conclusion.  Payments preferred are cash in person or bank wire transfer. 

Just a note.  I have this SS for sale locally at my dealership, so it is possible it may sell before the end of this auction.  I will accept offers here at our brick and mortar dealership.  If it sold early, I reserve the right to end the auction before in is completed.  Your offers will also be considered.  Many of these cars sell quickly I have found in completed auctions prior to this one.

Enjoy the auction and Good luck to you.

Kurt

'Killing a Duramax' Gale Banks YouTube series methodically tunes a diesel to death

Thu, Feb 27 2020

Learning or perfecting a skill by watching YouTube videos is known as attending YouTube University. GM Authority picked up on one of the video site's more fascinating courses, hosted by Gale Banks; in a fair world, he should be referred to as Professor Banks when it comes to diesel engines and truck tuning. A few months after GM introduced the updated L5P 6.6-liter Duramax diesel V8 in the 2020 Chevrolet Silverado HD and GMC Sierra HD that ships with 454 horsepower and 910 pound-feet of torque, Banks decided he wanted to methodically tune the engine to death. The purpose of the resulting series, called "Killing a Duramax," is to push more power out of the engine in order to discover which parts break and when — or, as Banks puts it, force-feed the Duramax "until the crank hits the street and the heads hit the hood." With that knowledge, Banks can figure out all the weak points on his way to building what he calls a "Superturbo," that being a supercharged, twin-turbo race engine with more than 1,000 hp. What makes the series fascinating is Banks' knowledge, paired with the company's comprehensive iDash engine monitoring system that keeps tabs on a glut of parameters every step of the way. So for instance, you get Banks explaining the differences between inches of mercury and barometric pressure, how those are different from the water content of the air measured in grains, then showing those readouts on the iDash, then explaining in detail how they affect the air density in the Duramax system. The stock Borg-Warner variable turbo gets a lot of airtime — Banks accuses it of being "out to lunch" because he feels it's the weakest link on the engine. That turns into a turbo teardown and a deep explanation of performance pitfalls, such as when air pressure on the turbine begins to diverge from the boost pressure coming from the compressor. Banks says he can keep close tabs on where power's coming from, because the iDash monitors the horsepower contribution provided by the ambient air, the turbo, and the intercooler separately. The major changes so far are a stouter Precision 7675 turbo and TurboSmart wastegate (episode 5), a twin intake (episode 6), a custom liquid-cooled intercooler from a marine engine, a new GM oil cooler and synthetic oil (episode 10), and new injectors (episode 11).

2014 Chevrolet SS makes its live debut

Sat, 16 Feb 2013

Chevrolet showed off the new 2014 SS in an airport hangar last night, its first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan in the US since the Impala SS from 1997. We'll have more to say about the SS later today, but this is the sedan that Chevrolet sees as the final piece in restoring its performance credentials. For those of you looking for a manual transmission, however, that wish will go unfulfilled - at least for now: the only two options buyers will have are the color and whether or not they want a sunroof.
We'll work on getting some more angles (in better light) today at Daytona International Speedway, but with fans seeing the car for the first time, we don't hold out much luck of getting a clear shot. So for now, enjoy the high-res gallery above.

Mustang retakes monthly pony car sales crown from Camaro

Wed, Dec 3 2014

Going back to their origins in the Swinging '60s, the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro have been fierce rivals for fans' hearts and dollars. Historically, the Ford often led in volume, but Chevy took the muscle car top spot in 2009 upon the Camaro's rebirth. However, with the launch of the latest Blue Oval pony car, the tide is turning back in Ford's favor. November was the first full month of sales for the new 2015 Mustang, and according to TheDetroitBureau.com, the model did spectacularly well. The Blue Oval shifted 8,728 of them, up 62 percent from same month last year, with the automaker proclaiming it the model's best November sales since 2006. Conversely, 4,385 units of the Camaro were delivered, down 13.5 percent year-over-year, meaning its sales were roughly half that of the new-generation Mustang. Ford is understandably happy with the results, and product development director Raj Nair even hinted to TDB that another version of the Mustang might be unveiled at January's North American International Auto Show. Rumor has it that the model will be the even more potent Shelby Mustang GT350R. Despite the Mustang's November success, the Camaro outsells it year to day. So far in 2014, Ford has sold 73,124 Mustangs versus 79,669 examples of the Camaro. With December offering the last chance for an overtake, the Bowtie may yet remain king for this year's sales crown. A new Camaro is peeking over the horizon, as well. It's reportedly moving to the Alpha platform used by the Cadillac ATS, and production could start in late 2015. Prototypes are already testing at the Nurburgring, and camouflaged examples have been spotted weirdly being compared to its '80s forefather.
