Beautiful white Impala SS clone.  I have owned the car for a year and a half and had a blast with it.  It turns heads everywhere it goes.  I purchased it most of the way through a frame off restoration.  My son and I finished the job, which included redoing the interior, the white paint and fixing several small issues that show up after a project the size of this one.  We also added new rubber throughout the interior.  There are none of the rattles and squeaks associated with a car of this age.  The car was burgundy when we first acquired it and so some of the pictures will show the car being rebuilt and driven as burgundy.  The car has been White for over a year. 

The car has a rebuilt 454 installed.  I cannot tell you all of what was replaced by the master mechanic who did the job.  I have bought the car to be a regular play toy, and it has been.  But since its not stock, I have not made a production out of keeping records.  The transmission is a 5 speed.  The fifth gear is an electric overdrive.  This allows us to cruise the highways without getting raped at every gas station we pass.  The car has a relatively new (about 1 year old) DVD player stereo and a boom box in a box in the trunk.  Tunes sound good.  It has disk brakes on the front and a special lock set up so that you can easily power stand (or lock the front wheels) while spinning the back ones.  It also has a bleach tank installed to make those tire create a very impressive cloud of smoke as the videos will testify to.  Speaking of tires, they are all very fresh.   

The convertible top was replaced right before I acquired the car and it has been kept under shelter since the purchase.  No leaks or tears.   The hydraulic system for raising and lower the top has had several parts replaced (including the pump) and it works flawlessly.  The front end has been aligned recently and the battery is a few months old now.

I drive the car fairly regular and have taken it several hundred miles without any issues.  Its longest trip so far was in excess of 500 miles when we picked it up.

As would be expected with a car this old it has a few issues.  None of them are serious and most could be repaired with a little effort.  My complains deal with sun visors not staying in position and windows that have issues with the fresh rubber when rolling them up and down in the back.

If the buyer is within a one easy day drive, I would be glad to deliver it (you have to work with my schedule though).

We (my son and I) are selling this because he cannot afford the gas (he is 17 now) and I am looking for a new toy to play with.  I would really like this to go to someone that will enjoy it as much as I have.  Remember when looking at the pictures, the white exterior is recent the red exteriors are at least one to one and a half years old.

Note the car is too old to carry a title in Alabama.  I will be able to provide a bill of sale only.  Also there is no way to verify the mileage on the speedometer.

GM tinkering with Silverado, Sierra model mix amidst strong early sales

Mon, 04 Nov 2013

Variety, as they say, is the spice of life. That's a lesson that is currently being taught to General Motors, because despite a strong showing from its 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, the General's pickup sales still can't best those of cross-town rival Ford.
With 59,163 trucks moved, GM fell just over 1,000 units short of toppling Ford, and one of the main reasons for that, according to GM's chief sales analyst, was due to a lack of variety in the engines and body styles available on dealer lots. "We are still over-weighted toward crew-cab V8 trucks. Our light-duty mix will moderate over time as our launch progresses," said Kurt McNeil.
Loading dealers with the popular combination of the 5.3-liter V8 and the four-door, Crew Cab body style was intentional during the truck's launch, but as supplies of leftover 2013 models, which are being sold at heavy incentives, are beginning to wane, both budget-conscious and high-dollar buyers are looking elsewhere instead of at the volume model pickups.

Cadillac XT4 crossover to be built in Kansas City

Mon, Jan 8 2018

Cadillac's upcoming XT4, a crossover we've previously known as the XT3 in a long series of spy shots of heavily camouflaged mules, will be built at General Motors' assembly plant in Kansas City on the same platform as the Chevrolet Malibu, Bloomberg reports, citing people familiar with the plan. That will give Cadillac another entry in the red-hot luxury crossover segment and, GM hopes, help to reverse a sales slump in the U.S. It'll also breath life into the Kansas City plant that makes the slow-selling Malibu, where GM cut a third shift last year, by sharing the assembly line between the crossover and sedan and defraying costs for each vehicle. The XT4 was known most recently as the XT3, with styling cues based on the Escala concept sedan from 2016. It's slightly smaller than the XT5, Cadillac's top-selling vehicle, and will also augment the full-size Escalade in Cadillac's stable of SUVs when it makes its expected debut later this year. Cadillac last week reported its second-highest-ever sales mark with 356,467 vehicles, an increase of 15.5 percent over 2016. But that mark papers over an 8 percent sales decline in the U.S. to 156,440 vehicles. The luxury brand is on a hot streak in China, where sales jumped 50.8 percent last year to 175,489 units.Related Video: Image Credit: Brian Williams Plants/Manufacturing Cadillac Chevrolet GM Crossover sales cadillac xt5 cadillac xt4 cadillac xt3
