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.

Chevy Trax engineer says GMC version possible
Mon, Dec 8 2014The 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 2014DETROIT (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 2013The 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.
