This is a 1963 impala SS (real) 409 (not matching) with a 4 speed transmission. The rear differential is a 3.08 non posi. I bought this car 10 years ago from a dealership in Texas. I bought the car in this condition. The car is in very good condition, has been garaged ever since, and very little miles added over the last 10 years. There are no known mechanical issues, I have changed mostly everything mechanical.

 

What I did to the car:

1.      Swapped out a 283 engine which was not original, to a newly rebuilt 409 engine which I bought from a mechanic in Michigan who had the engine in storage for over 25 years then decided to rebuild it and put it up for sale in 2008. I bought in May of 2008.

2.      New 4 core radiator aluminum, new belts,  hoses and pulleys.

3.      Borgeson power steering box, pump, bracket.

4.      1 inch front sway bar

5.      New tie rod ends, center link

6.      4 new heavy duty springs, 4 QA-1 shocks

7.      16” centerline wheels with BFG tires – 235/60

8.      Edelbrock Carburetor

9.      MSD ignition wired to points distributor, new msd coil + plug wires

10.  New battery

11.  New rear lower control arms – global west

12.  New Y shaped headers with flow master exhaust 40 series

13.  “I did it” collapsible steering column with an aftermarket steering wheel

14.  All new engine bay ground wires and all new POS engine bay wires.

15.  Powermaster 100AMP alternator

16.  New Fuel pump

17.  New Starter

18.  New all 4 drum brakes – these brakes are big, car stops very well!

19.  Car has been thoroughly inspected (4/2014) at a well know local mechanic who works on classic cars. They did the safety inspection sticker, wheel alignment, exhaust, new rear differential gasket + new fluid, fixed some small odds and ends – new cotter pins, rewired a few things in the engine bay etc.

 

Any issues?

1.      I needed to put in a junction box under the dash for the POS lead from the battery to the fuse box and for other POS leads. This factory sodder was bad and I cannot sodder so I used a junction box to pull all of the leads together.

2.      The front brace of the front seat on drivers and passenger side needs replacing. The rear brace of the front seats are intact as well as the rear seat brace. I bought the 2 braces for each side about 2 feet in length for each side. Ran out of time and money to fix this, I got estimates between 1200-1500 dollars, I would think if I shopped around more I could get a better deal. This was identified when the car was inspected on 4/14.

3.      I never hooked up the lights for the gauge cluster and for the tach – white leads.

 

I am a car guy and I love working on them, I can tell you anything you want to know about the car since I’ve owned it, I have nothing to hide, please email me at frank1966@optonline.net or call my cell at 914 263 8370 and leave a message and I will return your call. I do prefer email communication for quicker responses. I have explained the car in the most detail as I can, car is for sale as is with no warranty.

Recharge Wrap-up: Chevy Volt class action suit proposed, Tesla stock could outperform in 2015

Sat, Dec 27 2014

A class action suit has been proposed against General Motors for a steering problem in the Chevrolet Volt. The plaintiffs claim that a defect can cause the steering to freeze intermittently, and that General Motors either knows or should have known about the problem. The case, filed in New Jersey, also claims that defective parts are replaced with the same or similar parts, which are also defective. The plaintiffs say that claims for the 100-plus-member class exceed $5 million. Read more at Law360 or at BigClassAction. Tesla Motors stock (TSLA) has risen after weeks of losses. It gained 5.4 percent during the week ending December 19, when it closed at $219.29 per share. Since then, it rose slightly more, closing at $222.26 on December 24. Morgan Stanley lowered its target price on Tesla stock from $320 to $290, predicting lower sales on the upcoming Model III than expected before, but still called Tesla a good long-term investment. Analysts at CNBC predicted Tesla to be the best performing stock of 2015. Read more at ETF Daily News. Oslo- and New York-based architecture firm Snohetta has designed a zero-emissions house that also charges an electric car. The ZEB Pilot House, built in Larvik, Norway, uses a solar panel on the roof to power the house, which also provides enough excess energy to charge an EV. To make the most of energy most efficiently, the house uses smart technology to use as much energy as it can once it's harvested. This means one can turn on appliances like the washing machine remotely while the sun is at the optimum angle in the sky - perhaps during mid-day when the residents are at work. The house also uses organic materials and is designed to save as much energy as possible. Read more at Wired.

Porsche, Jaguar continue dominance in 2015 JD Power APEAL study

Wed, Jul 22 2015

The top of JD Power's 2015 APEAL Study has not changed much in the last year. Porsche remains No. 1 with Jaguar nipping at its heels, although both premium brands saw their overall score fall compared to 2014. For those that need a refresher, the APEAL Study looks at how "gratifying" a vehicle is to own and drive, rating cars and brands on a 1,000-point scale. The industry average for 2015 has increased from 794 to 798, while the total number of automakers that finished above the curve increased from 16 to 20. While Porsche and Jaguar finished at the top, their scores dropped eight and seven points, respectively, to 874 and 855. The top "non-premium" brand was Mini, which scored an impressive 825, up from 795. If the BMW-owned British marque is still a bit too premium for your tastes, last year's non-premium winner, Hyundai, did climb five points and is this year's runner up. At the opposite end of the scale, Smart sits at the very bottom of the rankings, with a score of 683 (it didn't appear on the 2014 rankings). Fiat also dropped, from fourth worst in 2014 to second worst in 2015, despite the 500 being named most appealing city car. Subaru made an impressive climb, from third worst to seventh, falling just 10 points shy of the industry average and two points south of the non-premium average. In the individual vehicle segments, eight brands earned multiple awards, with Ford, Chevrolet, and Porsche earning three apiece. Surprise segment victories included the new Ford Expedition, which beat out Chevy's popular Suburban. The Infiniti QX80 bested the likes of the Cadillac Escalade and Range Rover for best large luxury SUV, and the Dodge Challenger beat its muscle car rivals from Ford and Chevy. Most of the victories, though, were quite predictable. The Mazda6 and CX-5 took wins for the midsize sedan and compact SUV categories respectively, while the Volkswagen Golf captured the compact car win. The Ford F-150 won the large pickup category, while the Porsche Cayman was named most appealing compact premium sporty car.

The Fate of the Furious music video shows how much Demons love donuts

Fri, Mar 3 2017

The new Dodge Demon is leaking into everything related to The Fate of the Furious in the lead-up to both the car and the film's debut in just over a month. The latest teaser involves Demons doing donuts and burnouts in the Get Off music video, with copious amounts of both tire smoke and hip hop to accompany the tire-shredding shenanigans. It also gives us a look at some of the film's other cars. Get Off is a song by Travis Scott, Quavo, and Lil Uzi that's featured on The Fate of the Furious soundtrack, which is out now. The teaser for the music video features a pack of Dodge Challengers - both Demon and non-Demon spec - along with a line of non-SRT related products. From what we can see, the movie will have a Scion FR-S/Toyota 86, a highly modified C2 generation Chevrolet Corvette, and a Mercedes-AMG GT S. In typical over-the-top fashion, the final shot shows a submarine bursting through ice in pursuit of several cars, including a Subaru WRX. We can't see much else as the full music video hasn't been released, but expect a few more teasers once it does. The Fate of the Furious debuts Friday, April 14, just days after the Dodge Demon's debut at the New York Auto Show.
