RELISTED DUE TO NON-PAYING BIDDER, SO EVERYONE GETS ANOTHER CHANCE BEFORE LOCAL AUCTION DATE, WHICH IS RAPIDLY APPROACHING. It will only be listed on ebay until that date. There was 135 watchers last time and I keep getting emails if I still have it, so I decided to go ahead and give everyone that is seriously interested a chance to own it before it goes in estate auction. Not hard to replace a quarter guys and look at what the finished ones cost! Average of 40K! This is a 59 Impala 2 door htp. It was side swiped on the drivers side in the early 70's and has been in storage since. A much more solid car, with all original GM parts, than some that have been going for 10-15K recently, just because they have a coat of primer or a set of nice wheels on them. You can see them in completed listings. Nothing is hidden here. You will need floor pans and left lower qtr sections. Do it yourself and do it right by your standards. It takes 6 bolts and about 30 minutes to change and line up a door and less than a day to cut off a qtr and get the other one lined up and tacked in place. Probably a lot less time than cutting out and redoing some of the bad body work I've seen lately(cars with the inner fender front section cut off-leaving  you nothing to fasten parking light housings to, homemade fender extensions-making it impossible to fasten the correct front Z- bracket to the bumper and front valance, doors off of a 2 dr sedan with top frame cut off, new floors, but with braces missing or no gas tank braces and on and on. Just be careful and look closely at what you are buying. If there are any other pics of my car you would like to see, let me know and I will get what is possible, but I assure you this car has never been messed with or modified in any way except for the reapint many years ago and having the wrong steering wheel on it. Also, before I forgot to mention, this car is NOT rotted out around the rear window corners or all along the fin edge. Original white 936A car with turquoise interior. Was a 6cyl/3 speed car, but has no motor or trans in it now. The interior is all there with the exception of the front door panels. There is a replacement door and upper quarter half(with door jamb and inner panel) that comes with it. It will still need lower qtr sections on drivers side. I also have gathered a complete set of drivers side trim that is nice and restorable. These pieces all come with the car, but like I said, you will need to purchase left lower qtrs. The floors and trunk floor will need replaced, as they all do, as you can see in the pics. You may also need to do some work to the left wheel tub, although it doesn't look too bad and did not even get into the window post, or it probably would have broken the rear glass. This is definitely a buildable car as hard as these are to find and the prices they bring. Not for the faint at heart, but very much repairable. The frame looks to be solid in all of the common rot areas. It may need some minor repair in the very rear corners to the gussets. The car rolls and steers easy and tires hold air for easy loading. I also have a tractor to assist. Overseas bidders are welcome, however a tractor/trailer cannot get in my private road, so in the past I have loaded the car on my trailer and met the transport at an agreed on local site. I have no problem doing this for you , as I have done for several over the years. The car is sold as-is where-is and will not leave the property until all funds have cleared my bank account. Immediate deposit required with buy now options, otherwise deposit in 24 hrs and full payment expected in 7 days with 500.00 deposit at end of auction. Buyer is responsible for all shipping cost and arrangements(allow for extra qtr panel unless you want me to cut the lower rusty section off and stick it through the rear seat opening). The car can set here for up to 30 days after auction ends. The car comes with a clear title in my name. It does say correction at the top because instead of E59"S", they printed E59"5" when I bought the car and I had to take it back in and get it corrected. So now, it is 100% clear and correct and once you title it in your name it will come back saying original like always. It is NOT a salvage title. I got a lot of questions about the steering wheel. What is on it(the 65), is what was on it when I got it years ago, however I have the correct wheel, but it will need restored and it does come with the car. Thanks for looking!


 

DUE TO SOME REQUEST, I HAVE ADDED PICS OF THE THE FRONT TIP OF THE INNER FENDER WHERE THE PARKING LIGHT HOUSING MOUNTS. ADDED A PIC OF WHAT THE LOWER FENDER EXTENSIONS LOOK LIKE (WHICH ARE SOLID ON BOTH SIDES). IT'S HARD TO GET A PICTURE OF THOSE WITH THE BUMPER IN PLACE, SO I USED THE OLD RED ONE FOR DEMONSTRATION PURPOSES ONLY, BUT YES THEY ARE BOTH GOOD AND USABLE. ALSO THE REAR SEAT BRACES ARE BOTH SOLID AT THE BOTTOMS AND THE PAN UNDER THE REAR SEAT LOOKS VERY MUCH USEABLE. ALSO THE REAR WINDOW CORNERS(BOTH SOLID). THE WINDSHIELD IS CRACKED AND I WOULD PLAN ON ONLY BEING ABLE TO ACTUALLY USE THE REAR GLASS.


Thanks for everyones patience. Finally got the pics to upload, so you can tell more about the car. The fenders have some small rust and the right has some filler from years ago(rust or dent?). Headlight C-panels and lower fender extensions are all repairable/or not rusted out. Theres about 400, if you have to buy them. The blue door(setting on the wheel) goess with it. Both doors will then be very much usable. The rockers are not rotted out, but the left side has the crash damage towards the rear(by the wheel opening). As you can now see, the front and upper part of the trunk floor are there, but rusted out at the rear center around gas filler neck. The bumper laying on the car goes with it, if you want it. It has some repairable valances on it. You can see all of the front trim on the hood and all of the side trim set to replace the drivers side is laying on the trunk(with the exception of the little short piece, right behind the door opening) I DO NOT have that piece, but do see them on ebay regularly. The decklid is NOT rotted out in the common "V" area, but it does have some rust that would need work. Just keep in mind it is a midwest car and 56 years old and needs rust repair. It is just as buildable of a car as the one at Lambrecht and actually isn't as rusty in some areas. The only difference is that you will have to replace the upper qtr section and the door jamb.

Weekly Recap: Volvo buys Polestar, makes performance a priority

Sat, Jul 18 2015

Volvo is taking its performance business in-house, and the Swedish carmaker announced Tuesday that it bought tuning company Polestar, which has long been known for producing sporty Volvos. The move allows Volvo to ramp up its performance business, and it plans to increase Polestar-branded vehicle sales to 1,000 to 1,500 annually, up from the 750 total projected for this year. The companies have been working together on motorsports projects since 1996. Financial terms of the sale were not released, and Polestar workers will move over to Volvo. Former Polestar owner Christian Dahl will keep control of the Polestar racing team and operate it under a new name. In addition to sales volume, Volvo has ambitious plans for other parts of Polestar, including its aftermarket business. Volvo also said it will use its twin-engine hybrid technology for Polestar models in the future, though specifics and timing were not revealed. Meanwhile, Volvo announced it will offer a run of 265 total Polestars in the United States for the 2016 model year, with S60 and V60s available. "Driving a Volvo Polestar is a special experience. We have decided to bring this experience to more Volvo drivers, placing the full resources of Volvo behind the development of Polestar as the model name for our high performance cars," Volvo CEO Hakan Samuelsson said in a statement. OTHER NEWS & NOTES 2016 Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra, get nose jobs Automakers tend to refer to light updates as 'facelifts,' and that's exactly what Chevy gave the 2016 Silverado and GMC Sierra. Chevy slightly changed the front end of the truck. Using the one photo released of the new Z71 model as a guide, we can see that the headlights went from a stacked vertical design to single bulbs, and they are set on top of LED running lights. The grille has more body-colored elements instead of shiny metal, and the hood has a new line running down the middle (look really closely). The design theme will be similar across the portfolio, though materials and details will vary, a spokesman said. Some models, like the High Country and LTZ will have more chrome, and the LEDs are only for the upper trims. Chevy also said it will use the eight-speed automatic transmission on more versions of the Silverado, and it updated the MyLink feature to support Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.

Next-gen Chevy Cruze caught cruising in the cold

Wed, 13 Feb 2013

Spy photographers have caught what looks like the next-generation Chevrolet Cruze out on snow patrol. The camo could be tricking our eyes, but it look like it has an even tidier, more rounded front end and even lower fenders in relation to the top of the hood. And either a chunk of camo has been wedged between the side mirrors and the doors, or the mirrors are up for revision, too.
The door handles have been moved up the side of the car, leading the way to a rear end that grows a bit in length. If the rumors are true, the coming second-generation Cruze sits on the new D2XX platform that will replace the Delta and Theta platforms at General Motors. A global architecture, the Cruze will be the first to get it, but it will underpin everything from next Chevrolet Volt to the Equinox and could be responsible for 2.5 million units by 2018. The next Cruze is expected to begin production in GM's Lordstown, Ohio plant in the third quarter of 2014.

Best and Worst GM Cars

Thu, Apr 7 2022

Oh yes, because we just love receiving angry letters from devoted Pontiac Grand Am enthusiasts, we have decided to go there. Based on a heated group Slack conversation, the topic came up about the best and worst GM cars. First of all time, and then those currently on sale, and then just mostly a rambling discussion of Oldsmobiles our parents and grandparents owned (or engineered). Eventually, three of us made the video above. Like it? Maybe we can make more. Many awesome GM cars are definitely going unmentioned here, so please let us know your bests and worsts in the comments below. Mostly, it's important to note that this post largely exists as a vehicle for delivering the above video that dives far deeper into GM's greatest hits and biggest flops, specifically those from the 1980s and 1990s. What you'll find below is a collection of our editors identifying a best current and best-of-all-time choice, plus a worst current and worst-of-all-time choice. Comprehensive it is not, but again, comments. -Senior Editor James Riswick Best Current GM Vehicle Chevrolet Corvette We were flying by the seats of our pants a bit in this first outing and my notes were similarly extemporaneous. When it came time to tie it all together on camera, I failed spectacularly. Thank the maker for text, because this gives me the opportunity to perhaps slightly better explain my convoluted reasoning. I chose the C8 Corvette because it's simply overwhelmingly good, and it's merely the baseline from which this generation of Corvette will be expanded.  While the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing (more on that in a minute) is an amazing snapshot of GM's current performance standing and its little sibling so enraptured me that I went out and bought one, their existence is fleeting. Corvette will live on; forced-induction Cadillac sport sedans, not so much. So while all three are amazing machines when viewed in a vacuum, the Corvette stands above them as both a reflection of GM's current performance credentials and a signpost of what is to come. So, given the choice between the C8 and the 5V-Blackwing right now, I'd choose the C8. In 10 years, when the Blackwing is no longer in production and Corvette is in its 9th generation? Well, that might be a different story. Now, just pretend I said something even remotely that coherent when we get to the part of the video where I try to make an argument for the 5-V Blackwing as best GM car I've ever driven. Or just laugh at me while I ramble incoherently.
