HELLO TO ALL. THIS IS OUR FAMILY OWNED 1959 CHEVY IMPALA 2 DOOR COUPE THAT HAS BEEN VERY MILDLY CUSTOMIZED AS YOU CAN SEE. SUPER SHARP CRUISER WITH A SLEEPER MID-YEAR CORVETTE L-79 327CI/350HP MOTOR.

PLEASE NOTE: There are no airbags or hydraulics in the car, it has just been lowered. I have NEW front springs and NEW front shocks that go with the car if the new buyer wants to bring the ride height back to "normal".

My husband and I purchased it in Pennsylvania a couple of years ago, while down there for the classic car show. We always wanted either a 59 or 60 Impala coupe, and since prices on them have been skyrocketing, it's been difficult...if not impossible finding one priced reasonably that was reliable enough to be used daily. Once we got it back to NY, we garaged it and worked on it a little at a time, turning it into what it is today, a nicely presentable and cool driver. It has received NEW PAINT, nearly completely NEW INTERIOR and a lot of minor detailing work has been done as well as you'll see in the pictures.

OPTIONS:

Power steering

Manual drum brakes

Bench seat interior

327ci/350hp Corvette L79 V8 (code "HT" from 65-67 Corvettes)

Automatic transmission on the column

Dual rear antennas

Dual exhaust exiting behind rear wheels

14" steel wheels with whitewall tires and stock hubcaps

Fender skirts

Mechanically the hydraulic lifter 327ci/350hp L-79 mid-year Corvette motor is nice and sound with good oil pressure and behaves well. This is a RARE and seriously sought after motor, and i've had several Corvette experts estimate the value at somewhere around $5-6K just for the motor. It is a virtually STOCK motor with correct stock exhaust manifolds, stock 4bbl. carburetor and stock intake manifold as well. Transmission is a stock automatic on the column that shifts good (has a mild shift kit installed).  Now as for driving the car, i've taken it out mostly around the neighborhood here and there for a few functions, and sometimes we take it to the Island for a cruise. Brakes work well. Steers nice and swift without too much if any play in the wheel. Overall very sound and reliable car that can be used daily with minor tlc depending on what your likes are.

Motor was originally a 283ci 2bbl. V8 that was upgraded some years ago (I do not have the original motor). Like I said, you could get in and drive this car, since it's one of those vehicles that doesn't like sitting for long periods of time (the more you drive it, the better it gets).

Interior has had a lot of work done. NEWLY reupholstered seats, NEW carpet, NEW Door panels, NEW armrest pads, original headliner (some water stains on it). Dash is original and looks to have never been repainted. Steering wheel has a couple of cracks. Overall a very presentable driver quality interior.

Underside is very nice and dry overall, and has a NICE frame, VERY SOLID trunk with some surface rust and a few tiny pinholes. Floorboards are in fairly good shape as well, with no large holes or any major rot evident (they may have been patched in a couple of places but looks solid and clean overall).

THIS 1959 CHEVY IMPALA 2 DOOR COUPE IS NOT PERFECT, SO PLEASE LOOK AT PICTURES, ASK QUESTIONS OR COME SEE IT IN PERSON. Paint was recently redone with base/clear coat and looks good with fairly good shine overall as you can see in the pictures. The rear quarters had lower 1/2" quarters installed and there is some filler by lower section of the car, especially by inner wheel wells. Overall a decent job but nowhere near being show quality paintjob. Panel fit is ok for a 50s Chevy but should be adjusted here and there as you see fit (especially by trunk lid and passenger door). Could still use some minor wetsanding and final buffing. Chrome is good for a driver and shows well but would need replacing for anything better. Front driver's side window has cracks. Not working: horn, radio, speedometer/odometer, couple of gauges not hooked up, perhaps a bulb or two may need replacing here and there as needed. Exhaust manifold gasket on driver's side has a leak. Thermostat may stick at times and should be replaced if you're going to be driving in stop-and-go traffic often. Engine puffs a hint of white smoke at startup and may need seals replaced down the line. Weatherstripping should be replaced. Fender skirts held with screws to keep them from falling off. Rear driver's side taillight lens has a crack in it.

There are various other small issues with it, as with any other old car, and i'm not gonna sit here and list them all as it would be no point. So overall she is nowhere near perfect and will need some form of TLC depending on how nice you want it to be and what you plan to do with the car.

If you just want a NICELY PRESENTABLE DRIVER needing tlc, this is the car for you. If you want a show car, it will need some serious investment to bring it up to that level of course. I ENCOURAGE ANYONE BIDDING OR SERIOUSLY INTERESTED TO COME LOOK AT IT IN PERSON. I WILL BE GLAD TO SHOW IT TO YOU TOP TO BOTTOM SO YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE GETTING INTO. AT THE VERY LEAST TAKE A LOOK AT ALL THE ADDITIONAL PICTURES ON THE LINK ABOVE.

2015 Chevrolet Colorado GearOn Edition is ready to do that outdoorsy thing

Fri, Feb 13 2015

Bikes, skis, kayaks... the Chevrolet Colorado GearOn is ready to accommodate all of them, thanks to a trip to the Bowtie's accessories catalog. The special edition Colorado features the basics of Chevy's GearOn accessories, including a bars package, bed divider and tie-down rings, which can be supplemented with other accessories to haul all manner of outdoor equipment. Beyond that, though, Chevy has fitted a few other items to lift up the Colorado's styling, including gloss-black 18-inch wheels, black Bowtie emblems, a body-color grille, off-road assist steps and front foglights. It's a tidy little update to the compact truck's still-fresh styling. Check it out in our full gallery of live images, direct from the Chicago Auto Show.

Jaguar I-Pace vs. Tesla Model 3 and other EVs: How they compare on paper

Thu, Mar 1 2018

The 200-mile club of electric vehicles is really growing. The most recent member is the Jaguar I-Pace, the company's first pure EV. It promises luxury, performance, style, and most important, good range. Nearly as recent is the Hyundai Kona EV, and while it doesn't promise luxury or performance like the Jaguar (it's also smaller), it does pack impressive range. With the introduction of both of these electric cars, we thought we would see how they compare against each other, and the other two big names in high-capacity electric cars: the Chevy Bolt EV and the Tesla Model 3. This isn't intended to be a direct, apples-to-apples comparison, as the four are quite different. If anything, they break into two groups: bigger and more luxurious, and smaller and less expensive. Then again, the number of vehicles with this electric range is small and comparisons to EV's with less range wouldn't be too kind to the other guys. If you want to learn more about these EVs, and compare them with other cars, be sure to check out our Car Finder and comparison tools. Horsepower and torque There is one clear winner here, and that's the Jaguar I-Pace. It packs a whopping 394 horsepower and 512 pound-feet of torque. That comes through a pair of electric motors (one at the front, another at the rear) that provide the Jag with all-wheel drive, the only one of these vehicles to offer it (at the moment). Altogether, it allows the I-Pace to have the best 0-60 mph time of 4.5 seconds. At the other end of the spectrum is the Hyundai Kona EV. It's front-drive, like the Bolt EV, and has effectively the same amount of horsepower as the Chevy at 201 horsepower, but its 0-60-mph time is almost a second slower. And the low-range version of the Kona, excluded because it doesn't go more than 200 miles between charges, is slower still. The Tesla Model 3 is the only vehicle with rear-wheel drive, and with a 0-60 mph of 5.1 seconds for the Long Range model, it is still very quick. Range and energy use Frequently, the all-consuming question with electric cars is, "How far can I go on a charge?" And to go the farthest, you need the long-range Tesla Model 3. It can go 310 miles. It has the added advantage of being able to use the network of Tesla Supercharger stations, though they are pay-per-use with the Model 3. Even the lower capacity Model 3, with just 220 miles of range, can use these stations.
