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.

Bob Lutz says Tesla remains 'fringe' brand

Sun, Sep 28 2014

We've said it before, we'll said it again: Bob Lutz gives great quotes. From his toilet-themed opinion of global warming to Toyota's deity status, the man knows how to get your attention. His latest? Saying that Tesla Motors is and will remain a fringe brand. Take that, Tesla fanbois. This, of course, is the same fringe company that prompted Lutz and his former colleagues at General Motors to start working on the Chevy Volt around eight years ago. The same fringe company that has easily outsold the similarly priced (but don't call it a competitor) Cadillac ELR with its Model S. Lutz did clarify that the fringe status will only last until Tesla comes out with a mass-market electric vehicle that has a range of 200 to 300 miles. Lutz was on CNBC talking about the TSLA stock's recent performance, and he pointed out that even Tesla CEO Elon Musk says that the California automaker's stock is overvalued these days. Despite its prevalence around these parts, Tesla is not yet a household brand. But the company is working hard to get a cheaper, long-range EV to market in the not-too-distant future, so this fringe thing may not last much longer than that show Fringe did.

Chevy gets cracking on Cruze EV fleet testing

Tue, 21 Sep 2010

Chevrolet Cruze EV - Click above for high-res image gallery
The Chevrolet Volt hasn't yet gone on sale, but General Motors is looking at ways of expanding its electric vehicle lineup. Chevy, along with partner LG, is employing a group of all-electric cars in the form of the Cruze. The sedans are part of a demonstration fleet which is located in Seoul, South Korea and is being used to provide data in an electric vehicle research project. The goal is to gather information on driving patterns and charging behavior in addition to consumer acceptance.
The Cruze EVs, along with some Daewoo Lacetti Premieres EVs, are the first fleet of full-size electric vehicles and should provide invaluable information for The General. Staying full-size means not sacrificing cargo space, so the battery pack is mounted to the underbody, leaving the trunk area open for plenty recyclable, canvas grocery bags.

Ram 1500 bests new F-150 in MT pickup shootout

Tue, Nov 25 2014

Ford's 2015 Ford F-150 is a technological tour-de-force, what with its aluminum-intensive construction and its powerful and efficient new 2.7-liter EcoBoost engine option. But now that it's hit the market, it's time to get down to brass tacks and find out how just the latest F-150 actually stands up to its rivals in the hyper-competitive fullsize segment. Motor Trend is among the first to round up the Ford (in Lariat 2.7-liter 4X4 guise here) and put it up against the Ram 1500 Outdoorsman EcoDiesel 4x4 and 5.3-liter-equipped Silverado 1500 LTZ Z71 to find out how Dearborn's new-think truck measures up. The test put the trio through over 1,000 miles of tough driving in California and Arizona in a variety of conditions from just cruising around unladen to hauling a trailer. MT found all three trucks to be competent, but the most praise got heaped on the Ram and the Ford, with the Chevrolet falling a step behind its competitors in many tests. Among the Ford's most-liked features was its 2.7-liter, twin-turbo V6 that helped make the F-150 easily the quickest of the group, with some editors saying the engine felt about the same whether driving around with cargo in the bed or not. There was some minor turbo lag during acceleration while trailering, but that issue affected the Ram, too. The Ram's powertrain was lauded, as well. The EcoDiesel was torquey around town, and the 1500's combination of an eight-speed automatic and air suspension was judged to be the best of the lot. It was the most difficult to get into the bed, though. The Ram also won the fuel economy award by netting 20-miles-per-gallon city and 28-mpg highway in the test to beat its Environmental Protection Agency ratings of 19/27. The Ford's EcoBoost managed 17/22, one mpg off each from the EPA numbers, and using a lot of throttle really depleted its efficiency. As MT notes, however, it would take time for the diesel's mileage savings to pay off at the pump for these two trucks. In the end, the Ram just barely eked out the win, with the title partially earned because of "the Ford's unknown maintenance and aluminum repair costs," according to MT.
