1964 Chevy Impala SS 
327 V8, automatic 
2 pump, 4 dump, 8 battery, 10 switch hydraulics 


I bought the car locally in 1996 and at the time it was more or less stock. I had it painted, had the bumpers re-chromed, bought wire wheels and installed the hydraulics as I could afford each item. In the last few years I've replaced the carpet and got the front two seats reupholstered.


Original motor and trans, changed intake and new 600 cfm carb. The motor has always run great, so other than change the intake and carb the engine is stock. It has a small oil leak at the rear main seal, it always has since I got it. 
The body is in good shape. A little bit of the chrome on the bumpers is starting to peel. 


The hydraulics are Red's Old School pumps with four dumps, 8" cyliders in the front with 12" in rear. They've been fantastic, never any issues. I replaced the batteries about three years ago and at that time replaced most of the bushings. The hydraulics will come out fairly easily if you wanted to remove them.


The rims are 15 years old now and starting to rust. The wheels are 14x7, tires are still in great shape. I originally kept the stock wheels on the car for a couple of years but they didn't have much clearance for the hydraulics so I switched them for the smaller wire wheels. 


The car has been always been solid and a lot of fun. My dad and I started it as a project that we could work on together and once it was ready I drove it as a summertime car. A lot of good memories so I'm kind of sad to see it go, I didn't even really decide to sell it until this year, but I am just finding I have less and less time to drive it like I used to.

**PLEASE NOTE THAT THE CAR WAS JUST WASHED WHEN PICTURES WERE TAKEN.  PAINT IS IN VERY NICE SHAPE, WITH NO MAJOR FLAWS.

The car is located in Victoria BC Canada But we can take it to Vancouver BC or Seattle Washington at our expense but any tax or duty is at the owners expence .

GM starting to talk seriously about 200-mile EV

Sun, Oct 12 2014

We've been hearing word of a 200-mile EV from Chevrolet for a while now. First, there was General Motors then-CEO Dan Akerson hinting at a $30,000, 200-mile EV that would take the competition by surprise. Then Akerson confirmed that GM is working on a 200-mile EV in a speech in March. LG Chem, which supplies batteries to GM and other automakers, recently said it was working on batteries for EVs with a range of 200 miles. GM's head of global product development Mark Reuss just re-confirmed that there are plans for an EV with a 200-mile range, and sources have told Automotive News what that car will be. While Reuss didn't mention anything about a specific model or platform, two undisclosed sources with knowledge of GM's plans have said that an EV with a range of about 200 miles is indeed in the works, and that it will be based on the Chevrolet Sonic. The sources also gave a timeline for the car, saying it is slated for sometime in 2017. According to Reuss, the plan is for Chevy to offer a lineup of electric cars, with the 200-mile EV joining ranks of the Chevrolet Volt and the Spark EV. He didn't hint at a timeline, but if the sources are correct, we could see a Sonic EV being built within a few years. Reuss sees demand for it, too. When speaking of the Spark EV, currently only available in California and Oregon, he says that "people wish we would sell it all around the country." If he's right about that, it's not difficult to imagine people taking interest in Chevrolet's 200-mile electric car, whether or not it's a Sonic.

Recharge Wrap-up: Indianapolis to switch 425 fleet vehicles to EVs, Chevy Corvette provides bat habitats

Tue, Nov 4 2014

Indianapolis will deploy 425 battery electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles as part of its municipal fleet by 2016. The fleet will include such cars as the Nissan Leaf, Chevrolet Volt and Ford Fusion Energi. The city will also reduce its overall fleet by 100 vehicles. In all, the revised group - called the "Freedom Fleet" - will save $8.7 million and 2.2 million gallons of gasoline over 10 years. Read more at Hybrid Cars. EVs with longer range would make vehicle-to-home and vehicle-to-grid energy management systems more practical for the US. The idea of using EVs as energy storage for emergencies or times of high grid demand is currently being tested in Japan with Nissan's Leaf-to-Home system. The US is also interested in such capabilities, but the higher average energy use of American households would make larger batteries in EVs ideal for grid storage applications.

The factory, when constructed, will have a capacity of producing batteries for 100,000 cars per year according to the Korean company. The plant will supply batteries for Chinese automakers such as SAIC and Qoros. Construction is expected to be finished by the end of 2015 and LG Chem expects revenue of more than $933 million by 2020. Read more in the press release below. General Motors is using adhesive used in the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray to create habitat for threatened bat species. Artificial bat caves could help alleviate white-nose fungus that leads to diminished bat populations. Leftover adhesive is used to create stalactites in the artificial caves, allowing them more structure to hang from. GM has also provided Volt battery covers to create nesting habitats for bats, which eat harmful insects and help pollinate plants. See the videos and read more in the press release below.

Veyron and C7 Corvette join cast of Transformers 4

Wed, 29 May 2013

Like the Fast & Furious franchise, the Michael Bay-directed series of Transformers movies has become known as much for its bad acting as its impressive lineup of cars. As filming just started for Transformers 4, Bay's website has confirmed two new cars for the next installment as well as a makeover for everyone's favorite tractor trailer hero, Optimus Prime.
Joining the cast of T4 are a "race-inspired" Chevrolet Corvette Stingray and a Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse. While Bay's website did not supply names for either car, Bugatti is reporting on its Facebook page that the Veyron will join the Autobots. Speaking of the good guys, top Autobot Optimus Prime is getting an all-new body based on a Western Star with a gaudy appearance that was seemingly inspired by Trick My Truck - right down to the six smoke stacks and side pipes!
