Described here is a 1960 Chevrolet Impala Convertible, 283 V-8 engine with 4-BBL Carb and dual exhaust.  This car was purchase in North Carolina in 2009 and registered in California in April 2011.  The car had been stored outside for a period of time prior to being aquired by the owner I purchase the car from, he had stored the car in his garage for a period of time.  The car had some rust and frame on restoration was started shortly after I received the car.  The floor pans were all replaced including the ones under the rear seat, the trunk floor was also replaced.  Repair work was also done on the rocker panels including replacing the other skins and repairing the rails underside, lower quarter panel work was also done. Additional, repair work was done to the rear section of the car which had some collision damage.  The frame was cleaned and painted while the floor pans were removed.  The car was repainted with original white Acrylic Lacquer paint, paint code GM 936, (Artic White).  The interior dash and other metal parts were painted in red as the original.  The 283 V8 engine was completely rebuilt and the 2-Speed Powerglide transmission was rebuilt as well, a new seal was installed in the standard rear end.  This is a matching numbers car to my knowledge.  Dual exhaust was installed although not on the car originally from the factory. This is the only major modification  that was done to the car, other than that, the car is completely standard, no other modifications at all.  The entire interior was replaced with red/white houndstooth design sold as a kit.  Door side and vent window glass were replaced while the windshield and quarter window glass were cleaned and retained.  Door, trunk and convertible top seals were replaced and a new black top was installed.  The push button radio works well, but I was not able to hook up the rear seat back speaker.  The car was registered for the first time in California in April, 2011.  I estimate that the car has been driven less than 2k miles since restoration work was completed at that time.  The DMV registration records from North Carolina show that the car has had only one registered owner before, this owner had the car registered for about ten years starting from the time the car was purchased new in 1959, accordingly, I am the second registered owner.  The car rides very well and has plenty of power, it looks beautiful and driving it on the road turns many heads and I receive many thumbs up.  On parking lots people stop and ask questions, many from the older generation say that they, a friend or a family member, used to own one of these, I ask where is it now? and why did you get rid of it?, there is usually no answer.  The reason I am selling this car is that I am running out of space on my property.  I have bought several other cars like it that I restore as a hobby, so something has to go. Please let me know if you have any questions about the car, I will be sure to get back to you as soon as possible.

2020 Chevy and GMC HD truck spy shots reveal LED lighting

Mon, Aug 20 2018

With Chevy and GMC's 1500 series pickups just starting to roll into dealerships, our attention naturally turns to the Heavy Duty 2500 and 3500 series trucks. We've seen these HD trucks testing already, but thes latest spy photos give us our first good glimpse of the two HD trucks' headlights through some translucent camouflage, and their designs appear very interesting and quite different from each other. The 2020 Chevrolet Silverado HD looks to be getting a striking set of LED lights that flank the grille. A previously released teaser image of the truck shows that the front lighting elements are split by a bulky wing that branches out from a big, upright chrome face, and both top and bottom units seem to incorporate LED slashes. If you look closely at the images, you can easily make out the Chevrolet script cut into the grille's top edge. Amidst a bevy of Chevy test trucks was one lone GMC model in a dually configuration, and the Sierra HD also appears to have some LED accent lighting up front. Unlike the boomerang-shaped Chevy LEDs, GMC's version sports a shoulder-like right angle of light bars. Assuming these are production-level lighting units, it seems the Sierra HD will stick pretty close to the face of GMC's latest light-duty pickup truck. We're still waiting for confirmation on what range of powertrains will be available in GM's next-gen HD trucks, but we're sure there will be both gasoline- and diesel-burning engines on the ordering sheet. We expect to hear official details on the trucks sometime soon.

GM natural gas-powered vans recalled due to possible leak

Wed, Sep 24 2014

General Motors is recalling almost 3,200 of its compressed-natural-gas powered utility vans because of possible leaks. GM and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) released a notice last week saying that 3,196 Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana CNG vans are on recall, though no accidents have been reported due to the possible issue. The recall is specifically for vans for model years ranging from 2011 to 2014. The recall stems from a potential leak from the compressed natural gas high-pressure regulator, and such a leak could cause a fire or explosion. GM will replace the vehicles' high-pressure regulator in order to fix the problem, will do it free of charge and is instructing owners to contact Chevrolet or GMC customer service to arrange for the parts replacement. Utility vehicle makers like General Motors have pushed for fleet sales of CNG-powered vans and trucks for the past few years and have touted them for their cheaper refueling costs relative to standard gasoline, not to mention the fact that natural gas can be readily sourced from throughout North America (thanks, fracking). According to CNGPrices.com, compressed natural gas sells for about $2.22 a gallon, on average, while the AAA is pegging the average price of gas at $3.34 a gallon. NHTSA has posted information on the recall here. Featured Gallery News Source: NHTSA via Reuters Green Chevrolet GM GMC Natural Gas Vehicles CNG gmc savana

Just the right Camaro can change your life

Thu, Jan 22 2015

Not many people can say that their car directly motivated them into a career, but that's exactly the case for Adam Martin and his 1968 Chevrolet Camaro that he calls Lucy. Martin bought the pony car in primer when he was just 16, and it helped foster his profession in restoring classic cars. Beyond just being a very cool ride for a teenager, every change to Lucy was an opportunity to hone a new automotive skill for Martin. Whether figuring out how to paint a car or building the 454-cubic-inch (7.4-liter) big block V8, the Camaro offered a platform for experimentation. This latest episode of Petrolicious gets personal about the bond between man and machine for this 18-year ongoing project. And even if the story doesn't immediately grab you, Lucy has a great voice and can do a mean burnout.
