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 rolls out Silverado HD High Country

Wed, 09 Apr 2014

It's been a good week for heavy-duty truck buyers. First, Ram revealed the Black Package for its HD trucks, then it rolled out its new Power Wagon, and now Chevy's getting in on the action with its Silverado High Country HD. Okay, so it may not pack quite the attitude of Ram's latest 2500-series offerings, but the High Country HD will come as a welcome addition to the Chevy Trucks range to those looking to pull their horse, boat or other trailer without skimping on creature comforts.
Rolled out a little under a year ago, the High Country trim is Chevy's answer to the likes of the GMC Denali, Ford King Ranch and Ram Longhorn. It has until now only been offered on the light duty, 1500-series Silverado, but now extends to the 2500 and 3500-series HD models, as well.
So what sets a High Country pickup apart from lesser Chevy trucks? You'll be able to pick it out based on its chrome horizontal grille, body-color bumpers, 6-inch tubular side steps, 20-inch chrome wheels (18-inch on the 3500 and 17-inch on the dualie) and, of course, plenty of special badging. But it's inside where the High Country makes its mark, with a cabin decked out in saddle brown perforated leather, seats that are both heated and cooled, eight-inch touchscreen with full MyLink suite, Bose audio and park assist functions front and rear to keep those color-keyed bumpers looking fresh. (Though Chevy hasn't yet showed us the interior of the HD model, it'll presumably look mostly the same as the cab in the 1500 High Country in the gallery below.)

Chevy Corvette gets Valet Mode with Performance Data Recorder [w/video]

Mon, 18 Aug 2014

For the 2015-model-year, Chevrolet introduces Valet Mode for the Corvette, an enhancement to the Performance Data Recorder (PDR) already available and to your peace of mind. The PDR already captures 720p HD video with a windshield-mounted camera, records interior audio with a cabin microphone and gathers telemetry data using GPS, saving the data to an SD card in the glovebox. You can then watch your track-day antics with various information overlays on the center console screen.
Valet Mode will let you hit 'Replay' when your car gets pulled up front smelling vaguely of fricasseed clutch. Turned on by entering a four-digit code, it also locks the interior storage spaces and turns off the infotainment system. It can't be turned off until the code is re-entered. There's a press release below with more information as well as a video that explains how it works, with the obligatory dig at the 'Vette's biggest foe.

2014 Chevrolet Silverado tows in new configurator, microsite

Mon, 21 Jan 2013

Judging by your continued enthusiastic response to configurator notices, dear reader, you enjoy speccing out new cars as much as we do. Better still, there tends to be even more ways to personalize, configure and bloat theoretical MSRPs on full-size trucks as there are with more ordinary passenger cars. In addition to trim level, engine and transmission choices, truck buyers usually have to specify items like cab configuration, bed length, number of driven axles, tow packages, gear ratios and all sorts of bits and bobs.
That's why we're pleased to see the DIY specification utility for the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado come alive so soon after this week's Detroit Auto Show debut. While the configurator lacks pricing (General Motors hasn't announced numbers yet) and full options, you can still spec out your half-ton rig, and even print it out or email it to your friends. Beyond the configurator, the new model-specific site is pretty cool, too, with various videos and closer looks at the truck's new features.
The new Chevrolet pickup range won't be on dealer lots until sometime this summer, so whether you're a building contractor, an avid sportsman or just a guy or gal that loves full-size trucks, you might want to check out the link below to keep your appetite whetted. If you're more of a Sierra fan, well, it looks like you're going to have to wait a while - GMC hasn't updated its site yet.
