1959 Chevrolet Impala
Convertible

** NO RESERVE ** 

Description: This car came from the factory as a red on red V8, automatic. This car is in very rough condition, it has rust and dents and is not a project for the faint of heart. To make it simple and avoid the risk of disappointing the new owner, lets just say it needs everything. If when you get it its better than described then that's a bonus. 

Reason for selling: I bought this car as part of a package that included 5-59 Impala Convertibles, a 59 Impala 2 door hardtop, and a 59 Biscayne Sedan. I was only after one highly optioned Convertible, but to get it I have to buy them all. Unless I live to be over 300 I won't have time to do them all so I'm keeping 1 and the rest will go on ebay over the winter.

Mechanical: There is no motor or transmission, the rear end is there and the car rolls, the frame is in good condition for the year, and it steers.

Body: The body is rough, the floors are rusty as are the body panels, the folding top is complete, the windshield trim inside and out is complete and the pinch weld molding that the convertible boot snaps to is there. This car has 1 piece bumpers front and rear.

Interior: The interior is rough (whats left of it)

Notice: The wheels, tires and hubcaps are not included, it will come with roller wheels, There are many parts that go with the car (too many to list) that are not shown in the pictures, but again for simplicity bid only on what you see in the pictures, what ever else comes with the car is a bonus.

Overall: 1959 Impala Convertibles are worth a fortune and as such I think this car is worth putting back together again. I've seen what people are asking for convertible specific 1959 parts and realistically I would do very well parting it out, but I don't have the heart to chop the car up.If you are not familiar with what these cars bring do your homework and check it out $50,00.00 seems about average with a well restored cars at around $110,000.00. Its hard to restore a car and make money but with a 59 convertible its possible.
If your looking for a project car that won't cost more than your house to complete but will be an actual investment than this may be the car for you. I'm offering it unreserved because I'm serious about selling it, I have too many and so some have to go. 

Location: The car is located just outside of Salmon Arm, British Columbia, about 3 hours from the US border. If you are a buyer from outside of Canada I will help with importation as I am familiar with US and overseas procedure for importation. I can in many cases help arrange a shipper, but this is time consuming so I will only try to get a quote for the winning bidder. 

Payment: Cash in person or bank to bank wire transfer is acceptable. Payment must be received within 7 days of the close of the auction NO EXCEPTIONS. I can store the car at no charge for several months if needed. 

 Scammers: I've heard it all don't waste my time or yours.

If you have less than 10 feedback please contact me after you bid so I can confirm that you are in fact a serious buyer

Thanks for looking!!!

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit

Mon, 20 Jun 2011

Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.

2014 Chevrolet SS makes its live debut

Sat, 16 Feb 2013

Chevrolet showed off the new 2014 SS in an airport hangar last night, its first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan in the US since the Impala SS from 1997. We'll have more to say about the SS later today, but this is the sedan that Chevrolet sees as the final piece in restoring its performance credentials. For those of you looking for a manual transmission, however, that wish will go unfulfilled - at least for now: the only two options buyers will have are the color and whether or not they want a sunroof.
We'll work on getting some more angles (in better light) today at Daytona International Speedway, but with fans seeing the car for the first time, we don't hold out much luck of getting a clear shot. So for now, enjoy the high-res gallery above.

Watch Evo pick its 2015 Car of the Year in this epic video

Mon, Dec 7 2015

With just a few days left in 2015, it's the perfect time to check out Evo's annual Car of the Year test to determine the greatest performance vehicle of the last 12 months. The writers' picks for the 11 finalists spanned a breadth of engaging models and included: Peugeot 208 GTi by Peugeot Sport, Lamborghini Aventador SV, Seat Leon Cupra Sub8, McLaren 675LT, Porsche 991 GT3 RS, Porsche Cayman GT4, Honda Civic Type R, Ferrari 488 GTB, Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, Lotus Evora 400, and Mercedes-AMG GT S. For the venue to test the mettle of these performance machines, Evo stuck close to home this year and visited the twisting roads at the beautiful north coast of Scotland. Racing brothers Marino and Dario Franchitti also came along for the ride to provide two more voices in the competitive challenge to determine a winner. Evo's video explains why each model deserves to be among such rarified company but doesn't gloss over their faults either. There can be only one winner, though. We don't want to spoil it, so check out the clip for magnificent views of these performance machines through the Scottish countryside.
