I am selling a 1965 Chevrolet Impala- V8, Auto trans, A/c, caprice luxury option (This is not a caprice model, In 1965 caprice was a luxury option not its own models, 1966 was the first year the caprice was its own model). I have the title in hand and it is a clean title. If you want to see the car before bidding please let me know, I am more than happy to show it. I bought this as a driving project, to tinker with and restore but could drive at the same time, but I am working 2 jobs and have too many cars so decided to let this one go, Its been fun car to have and drive, gets a lot of attention when going down the road. With a good paint job it would be a very clean show/classic car, or it can be used as a reliable transportation & family car. It has a nice smooth ride to it, even with 4 people in the car. Goes down the road straight, No strange noises or vibrations, quiet inside. Comes with original Owners manual

Interior
 It has new seats, new headliner, new carpet, new visors, door panels have been restored, has the original AM radio, all original gauges, original steering wheel, All gauges function properly. Inter fan works, Heater works, Ac needs a new belt and to be recharged. The trunk is clean, recently painted with undercoating dyed to match the exterior color. I have $2175 in new interior work, I have all the receipts on the interior work. 

Engine:
Engine is a 283 v8, with a 2 speed auto trans, upgraded 4 bbl carb, rebuilt alternator, new mastercylinder, almost of the vacumme lines have been replaced, Factory dual exhaust, recent oil and filter change, radiator was replaced about a year ago, new powersteering pump with life time warranty, Radiator hoses and water pump were replaced when radiator was replaced.  Car starts right up, runs very well, a few months ago we drove it from orange county to Mammoth and back with no issues. About 3 weeks ago I drove it from Tustin to the Staples center every day for 5 days with no issues. Car does not over heat, even in hot CA weather in stop and go traffic. Car gets between 15-17 Miles per gallon depending on how you drive it and conditions. The car does not smoke except a tiny bit when it sits for a week or longer, and goes away after about 30 seconds. I was told the engine has about 50k miles since it was rebuilt, i was told that was about 10 years ago, I was not given any receipts so can not verify this, I was told it has a slightly mild cam installed in it when it was rebuilt, For a large car with a 283 it moves very well. I would recommend some new mufflers and exhaust sometime in the future, It does have some very small exhaust leaks in the pipes, You may be able to just weld them up. You dont really hear the leak, but if you stick your head under the car when its running you have slightly hear it if your listening for it. I have been driving it this way for a while now, never bothered me, Im just trying to make sure I tell everything I know about the car. 

Exterior:

Outside is painted flat brown, Almost all the chrome trim and emblems are off the car ( I do have them, they are all in the trunk and go with the car), it has no major body damage, it does have a couple of small dings, nothing major, body is clean and pretty much straight except for the couple of dings I mentioned. It does have a bit of rust by the right lower corner of the rear window. All the body pannels line up and everything opens and closes smoothly. Grill is straight and has all the chrome pieces on the car, could use a polishing. both bumpers appear straight, front would look very good with a bit of polish, rear has some light surface rust on it, I was planning on painting the bumpers the same color as the car one day so I didnt really mind the condition of the chrome. All lights front and rear work. This car being the Impala with the Caprice luxury package came with a few more chrome pieces than the standard Impala, I believed all the pieces are there and in decent condition. It also has the original hub baps with little to no road rash or dents. 

Car is being sold as is where is. If you need the car shipped its up to you to arrange for shipping, Car must be paid for in full before I will release it.

Jaguar I-Pace vs. Tesla Model 3 and other EVs: How they compare on paper

Thu, Mar 1 2018

The 200-mile club of electric vehicles is really growing. The most recent member is the Jaguar I-Pace, the company's first pure EV. It promises luxury, performance, style, and most important, good range. Nearly as recent is the Hyundai Kona EV, and while it doesn't promise luxury or performance like the Jaguar (it's also smaller), it does pack impressive range. With the introduction of both of these electric cars, we thought we would see how they compare against each other, and the other two big names in high-capacity electric cars: the Chevy Bolt EV and the Tesla Model 3. This isn't intended to be a direct, apples-to-apples comparison, as the four are quite different. If anything, they break into two groups: bigger and more luxurious, and smaller and less expensive. Then again, the number of vehicles with this electric range is small and comparisons to EV's with less range wouldn't be too kind to the other guys. If you want to learn more about these EVs, and compare them with other cars, be sure to check out our Car Finder and comparison tools. Horsepower and torque There is one clear winner here, and that's the Jaguar I-Pace. It packs a whopping 394 horsepower and 512 pound-feet of torque. That comes through a pair of electric motors (one at the front, another at the rear) that provide the Jag with all-wheel drive, the only one of these vehicles to offer it (at the moment). Altogether, it allows the I-Pace to have the best 0-60 mph time of 4.5 seconds. At the other end of the spectrum is the Hyundai Kona EV. It's front-drive, like the Bolt EV, and has effectively the same amount of horsepower as the Chevy at 201 horsepower, but its 0-60-mph time is almost a second slower. And the low-range version of the Kona, excluded because it doesn't go more than 200 miles between charges, is slower still. The Tesla Model 3 is the only vehicle with rear-wheel drive, and with a 0-60 mph of 5.1 seconds for the Long Range model, it is still very quick. Range and energy use Frequently, the all-consuming question with electric cars is, "How far can I go on a charge?" And to go the farthest, you need the long-range Tesla Model 3. It can go 310 miles. It has the added advantage of being able to use the network of Tesla Supercharger stations, though they are pay-per-use with the Model 3. Even the lower capacity Model 3, with just 220 miles of range, can use these stations.

Kurt Busch to shake and bake (again) in Ricky Bobby car at Talladega

Sat, 19 Oct 2013

Kurt Busch will channel Ricky Bobby for another NASCAR race, this time driving a Wonder-sponsored Chevrolet SS, in this weekend's Camping World RV Sales 500 at the Talladega Motor Speedway. Unlike past tie-ins, though, there's actually an element of sponsorship here (the "Me" car was done when Busch was running on a team without sponsorship).
It was arranged by Flower Foods, the new owner of the Wonder brand. Wonder was part of the bankrupt Hostess company, which temporarily exited the US market 2012, and set off the Great Twinkie Shortage.
Busch has made something of a habit of channeling characters from famous racing movies, most recently running Tom Cruise's City Chevrolet livery from Days of Thunder in a Nationwide Series race earlier this year. Busch kicked off his movie-inspired antics, though, at Talladega in 2012, when he raced El Diablo's ("It's like... Spanish for like a fighting chicken") "Me" car complete with a cougar on the hood. He even went so far as to channel the lovable idiot that is Ricky Bobby during the race, dropping a few catchphrases about macchiatos and slingshots.
