You are bidding on a barn find 1960 Impala that has been off the road since 1986. This car has lived its life with only two owners. The first till 86 then it was sold to a local gentleman who used it for his photo studio. The car has sat for so long in one spot the radial tires had separated from where the car sat. It is an all original v8 sport coupe. It is a factory power pack car with factory 4 barrel carb,intake,and air cleaner.  It has very little changed on it since 1960. It has virtually no rust on visible in 3 spots that are MINOR. The first spot is on the drivers side rear quarter in front of tire(very small size of quarter) 2nd spot is behind drivers side rear wheel on the quarter lip low(paint is raised not rusted thru) and 3rd is passenger side in front of rear tire. I have taken close ups of all these areas. There are a couple spots where the lacquor paint is craked. The floors and trunk are RUST FREE. Trunk has orange areas of surface rust but NOT SCALEY OR ANY KIND OF RUST HOLES. This is from water getting under the factory mat. The trunk still has all the original cardboard in the trunk. The car was undercoated at the dealer and that has saved the car. The interior in the car still has the original dealer installed plastic seat covers over the ULTRA RARE 2 tone Turquois interior. The glass is amazing in the car. The steering wheel is one of the nicest unrestored wheels I have ever seen. The car has the optional padded dash and it is cracked. The carpet does have wear and stains. The rear package tray looks like brand new. When this car wasn't driven it was stored inside a shed. The paint on the car appears to be about 90 percent original. It has been touched up in areas mentioned earlier. The paint shines nice for its age. It does have typical minor dings,scratches,etc for an original paint car. I have replaced tires with new radials,valve cover gaskets, and had the tranny gone thru(new seals,gaskets,etc).It still has the original orange ink on the air cleaner that says AC delco. I have also replaced the rear tail light lenses. Car runs great without issues. The brakes do pull to the right so they will need gone thru. The gauges all worked whenever I have driven it. I have put around 35 miles on it(not easy to find a day with dry roads this time of year in Iowa). This is a hard to find car in amazing original shape. I can help arrange shipping anywhere in Cont US and will help any International bidders to get it to a shipping port. Shipping tx 500,ca 700,ny 650,wa 750(I will need exact zip code for exact price for shipping)Any questions feel free to ask. Please look at my feedback and bid with confidence.   photo CIMG8986_zps0219b974.jpg  photo CIMG8992_zps4a73d6b7.jpg  photo CIMG8991_zpsc9edde86.jpg  photo CIMG8990_zps70ffe785.jpg  photo CIMG8989_zps37d30f8d.jpg  photo CIMG8988_zps696c4136.jpg  photo CIMG8986_zps0219b974.jpg  photo CIMG8987_zpsb1591278.jpg  photo CIMG8985_zps1c2b9c6a.jpg  photo CIMG8984_zps13db1336.jpg  photo CIMG8983_zpsc2cbfe47.jpg  photo CIMG8982_zps13b2918e.jpg  photo CIMG8981_zps69c02ab9.jpg  photo CIMG8980_zpsd80d29a4.jpg  photo CIMG8979_zps8a97f618.jpg  photo CIMG8978_zpsfd0d660a.jpg  photo CIMG8977_zps53ae2133.jpg  photo CIMG8976_zps3e9c368b.jpg  photo CIMG8975_zps9ef9e830.jpg  photo CIMG8974_zpsca852129.jpg  photo CIMG8973_zps903abc64.jpg  photo CIMG8972_zps3804506b.jpg  photo CIMG8971_zps7a02db64.jpg  photo CIMG8969_zps15ae61f5.jpg  photo CIMG8968_zps0191e1d2.jpg  photo CIMG8967_zps7b2ead49.jpg  photo CIMG8966_zpse1ced2b2.jpg  photo CIMG8965_zps92bd8e74.jpg  photo CIMG8964_zps50159ba1.jpg  photo CIMG8963_zpsab257af6.jpg  photo CIMG8962_zps88049c05.jpg  photo CIMG8961_zpsf149089c.jpg  photo CIMG8960_zps85613dee.jpg  photo CIMG8959_zps7cfb6ce4.jpg  photo CIMG8958_zpsa89e6e36.jpg  photo CIMG8957_zpsddd001c7.jpg  photo CIMG8956_zpsc96faa85.jpg  photo CIMG8955_zps0be17bd3.jpg  photo CIMG8954_zps1d741c44.jpg  photo CIMG8953_zps444f3f1e.jpg  photo CIMG8952_zps8aab65c7.jpg  photo CIMG8951_zps9c9a990b.jpg  photo CIMG8950_zps096c404f.jpg  photo CIMG8947_zps3971a31f.jpg  photo CIMG8946_zpscb67e467.jpg  photo CIMG8945_zpsf95c0baa.jpg  photo CIMG8944_zps8142f8c2.jpg  photo CIMG8943_zps00892a20.jpg  photo CIMG8942_zps31d63953.jpg  photo CIMG8941_zpse89832d8.jpg  photo CIMG8940_zps1bbcfc42.jpg  photo CIMG8939_zps4484e37b.jpg  photo CIMG8938_zps49f4ec38.jpg  photo CIMG8936_zps7a4f4bf1.jpg  photo CIMG8935_zps27973c11.jpg  photo CIMG8934_zps087e3515.jpg  photo CIMG8933_zpsa10973d8.jpg  photo CIMG8932_zpsf97120f2.jpg  photo CIMG8931_zps1010ace3.jpg  photo image_zpsf3349dba.jpg  photo image_zps7d74eb55.jpg  photo image_zpsde047fef.jpg  photo image_zpsbe87abff.jpg

Chevy Trax engineer says GMC version possible

Mon, Dec 8 2014

The Buick Encore is doing so well and its platform-mate the Chevrolet Trax has such good reviewer vibes going for it already, that a GMC version hasn't been ruled out. During the recent press launch, Automotive News asked lead engineer Al Manzor if the Trax could wear a GMC-branded suit, to which Manzor replied, "I think that is certainly possible." That's a long way from telling us anything about the probability of a GMC version of the Trax, and a legion of questions would need to be answered before it could happen. How would a GMC version be priced to leave room for the $26,465 GMC Terrain but not eat into sales of the $20,995 Trax or the $24,035 Encore? Or would that matter? Could it primarily be considered to encourage a new faction of The Yukon Set at the compact end, GMC buyers being famously committed to the marque? And of course, would there be a Denali version? It'll probably be a long while before we have any kind of answers, but if you want to see it happen, the door to your campaign of persuasion is at least ajar.

GM Recalling 370,000 Trucks For Fire Risk

Mon, Jan 13 2014

DETROIT (AP) - General Motors is recalling 370,000 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups from the 2014 model year to fix software that could cause the exhaust components to overheat and start a fire. The recall includes 303,000 trucks in the U.S. and 67,000 in Canada and Mexico. All of the trucks involved have 4.3-liter or 5.3-liter engines. GM said eight fires have been reported, but no injuries. One garage was damaged, the company said. All of the incidents occurred in cold weather. The company is asking customers not to leave their trucks idling unattended. GM dealers will reprogram the software for free. The company will inform owners starting Jan. 16. The major recall announcement, which came on Saturday, marred the Silverado's winning of the 2014 North American Truck of the Year Award at the Detroit Auto Show on Monday.

Helicopter crashes on Top Gear Korea set while chasing Corvette ZR1

Mon, 11 Feb 2013

The formula of Top Gear Korea is seemingly about the same as it is everywhere else in the world, including the flagship British original: involve interesting cars in fantastical situations with charismatic hosts. That prescription has proved to be pretty reliable over the years, and has lead to some truly memorable and exciting pieces of television.
Something like that was undoubtedly what the Korean producers were after when they lined up this segment - a drag race between a Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 and an AH1 Cobra military helicopter. The planners almost certainly did not expect the filming of the segment to go quite as wrong as it actually did, with the helicopter actually crashing into the dirt after the "drag race" had been completed. Thankfully, we're told that no one was seriously injured in the crash, but the footage, in the video below, is pretty damn chilling to watch, nevertheless.
