****barn Find, First 1966 Chevrolet Impala Ss 396 Convertible**** on 2040-cars
Bremerton, Washington, United States
|
BARN FIND, 1966 Impala SS 396 Convertible that has been in storage since 1982. LOW MILEAGE, NUMBERS MATCHING, everything works including the power top. Fisher Body Cowl Tag picture showing body #1. Los Angeles (Van Nuys) production was 550 cars per day and this cars VIN indicates it is in fact a first day of production vehicle. It is a 396, Powerglide 2 Speed Automatic with a 12 bolt rear end. The exterior is in it's original paint/color with the exception of the front passenger fender; the good news is the replacement fender is an original GM Replacement Fender installed in 1982 (have the receipt) but never painted. There is no exterior or interior trim missing, it is all there (The front passenger side trim is in the white tube in the trunk picture). The interior is in outstanding shape, the carpet has been replaced with a replacement carpet (floor is solid) that came with the vehicle. The convertible top fabric has a few seams that are starting to split, but it is functional and the power top works great. I also have two convertible boot covers, one in white and the other in matching blue. The previous owner had drained all fluids prior to placing in storage in 1982 (yes that is right this car was stored in a garage under cover since 1982). I replaced the fluids, charged the battery and she started right up. The starter solenoid was weak and needed to be replaced (I kept the original for rebuilding), additionally the wheel cylinders and master cylinder were replaced (also kept for rebuilding) to ensure the vehicle could be safely driven. Other than that, this is how it was found when purchased as part of an estate in June of 2013. I have the original finance paperwork from Seafirst Bank in Seattle showing the vehicle was purchased from Fleet Chevrolet in Seattle October 13, 1965. I have registration and licensing documentation for the both previous owners, numerous receipts, the owners manual, convertible top operation booklet, and accessories pamphlet for 1966. This may be your only chance to own a TRUE NUMBER 1 CAR, as most end up in private collections, museums, or with the manufacturer. This vehicle is the perfect candidate for restoration because it is all there, it runs and drives great, and there is very little rust repair needed. Low mileage, numbers matching, this vehicle is a time capsule and must be seen in person to appreciate. Please ask any questions prior to bidding. This is a real numbers matching car that I am listing to SELL. I know what I have, and my reserve is very reasonable. Yes I know it is cool but I am not looking to start a blog or a forum, so please limit your questions to those pertaining to the sale of this vehicle. |

Car and Driver 10Best list cracked by Tesla Model S, BMW 3 Series left off
Fri, Nov 21 2014Car and Driver is keeping new blood pumping into its annual 10Best cars list with three new entries making it on for 2015 and a perennial favorite falling off. Among the biggest shocks this year is that the BMW 3 Series and 4 Series are no longer named, despite years of some portion of that lineup earning a mention. In another surprise, the Tesla Model S (specifically in S 60 trim to fit under the $80,000 cost cap) makes it to the 2015 roster and is the only electrically motivated member of the group. Despite the loss of the 3 Series, BMW isn't entirely shut out this year, because the M235i gets its name on the list. Car and Driver argues that the little coupe feels like a welcome throwback to the E46 chassis M3 of the early 2000s. In addition to the Model S, the final newbie to the annual group is the 2015 Ford Mustang GT. The inclusion of these new members knocks the Audi A6/A7 family and Ford Fiesta ST out from the 2014 rundown. The other seven models carry over from last year, including the Cadillac CTS, Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, Honda Accord, Mazda3, Mazda6, Porsche Boxster/Cayman and Volkswagen Golf/GTI. The 2015 10Best cars list certainly seems to have something for everyone from the hot hatch fan to the family man and even the green car driver, thanks to the addition of the Tesla. Head over to Car and Driver to read its detailed explanations for each vehicle's inclusion, but if you've got a difference of opinion or just really like the list, let us know in Comments.

2014 Chevrolet Corvette C7 Convertible offers a few more views before reveal
Mon, 04 Mar 2013Over the weekend, Chevrolet released its first images of the new 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible. Now, ahead of the droptop's official introduction tomorrow at the Geneva Motor Show, the automaker has given us a few more shots of the softop C7 showing off the car's rump albeit from a high, strategically positioned angle.
From this angle, it's hard to get a sense for how long and flat the decklid really is, but we can easily see that, like the rest of the C7's design, the new convertible's decklid and tonneau cover are far more detailed than the current car. We also get a better look at the rear haunches sans brake vents, which have apparently been moved to underneath the car in order to accommodate the top's hard cover.
As for the overall styling of the C7 convertible, with the top erected, we get some idea of what a coupe design (as opposed to the Stingray's fastback shape) would look like on this car. The C5 Corvette most recently had a coupe model that did away with the large glass hatchback, and we recently reported on a low-cost "coupe" model potentially being added to the C7's repertoire.
This SEMA special drag race is absurdly awesome
Fri, Dec 5 2014The SEMA Show came and went last month, and it showed us a ton of heavily modded goodies to dream about during the long, cold winter. The Motor Trend Channel on YouTube is keeping the party rolling a little longer, though, with a drag race inspired by the aftermarket event. All of the hosts were supposed to borrow a vehicle from the show for the big race, but only two of them actually cajoled companies into lending their wares. Still, the result includes four very cool and extremely different examples of the breadth of the automotive hobby. First up, there's a 1955 Chevrolet with a 535-cubic-inch (8.8-liter) Hemi V8 stuffed under the hood. Appropriately, it's dubbed the Blasphemi, and with skinny tires up front, fat rubber in the rear and a stripped interior, this this is made to go very fast in a straight line. Next, there's a stock Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat boasting 707 horsepower. Plus, host Jessi Lang has her dog riding shotgun for the race. A Chevy Sonic RS with some body mods, downpipe and intake is also competing. Finally, the most bizarre of the quartet is a custom 1958 Jeep Forward Control with a 5.7-liter Hemi V8 and treads to replace the wheels. Obviously, the Blasphemi and Hellcat are the only two that really have a chance of winning, but check out the video to see which one crosses the finish line first.
