There are only a select few cars that have been cool from the moment they were built, and the 1961 Impala Bubble Top is one of them. Texas Classic Cars of Dallas is very proud to present one of a kind Impala SS Bubble Top. It's a restored ride packing a 409ci  block under its hood and making it a lot more than just a good looking body design.

The current owner of this awesome Impala purchased it and found that it needed a little refreshing. He took it to Carr's Corvettes and Customs, and had the car completely gone over. We have a notebook with detailed photos and invoices of every item.

There is for sure not many of these fine cars around. Maybe you have seen one with the same exterior, but it's what's under the hood that counts. Making this Impala stand out from the others is the Dual Quad Core 409 V engine producing 425 HP.

The initial restoration had been done before it's purchase . It was items that were  safety related and things like a steering box rebuild and new wiring harness that were done by Carr's.

The red paint has a depth and clarity that is  sometimes lacking on red cars, it shows off the long spears and with the contrasting chrome that make this car look about a mile long. Bumpers are beyond beautiful, re-chromed and  all six tail lights are in magnificent conditions.

The Mickey Thompson tires are the perfect combination on a great looking car, the sizes are F70/15 front and G60/15 rear. For the purist, the origianl hubcaps and fender skirts are included with the car.

This is a really incredible 61. This car is ready to enjoy. Carr's did everything that needed to be done to make this car ready to just turn the key and go. There are receipts totaling just over $30,000.to many to list, so call with any questions.

On the interior, the instrument cluster was removed to install the new gauges, headlight switch and turn signals. All new wiring  harness was  installed.

Bright red is the smart choice in this car, and a fully restored interior in this one looks beyond amazing. The two tone white and red seat covers look just like its originals.

Matching its seats, the two toned steering wheel is a great accent.  The original speedometer is still in place. Also a Hurst ball shifter is in place for shifting through the 4-speed trasmission.

Every nut, bolt or install kit was used when bringing this beauty back to original. There is simply too much to list on what has already been completed thus far.

All the gauges are working properly, the radio was deleted as in most big block cars.

The engine is bolted to a  T-10 4-speed transmission and connects out back to a 3.23:1 posi-trac rear end. This car is truly a thing of beauty and performance.

For starters on what has already been replaced, there is a whole binder full of invoices that track every step along the way so far. The work has been performed by Carr's Corvettes & customs. The transmission has been disassembled and checked over for anything that needed repair and put back together. There is R&R valve cover with premium 409 gaskets. R&R distributor and plugs were also installed. Even a Zoom 10.4" HP street clutch was installed.

The block is stamped on the front  with T0327  QD. We don't believe it to be a matching #s car, but it is a true 409

We could write paragraphs on this Bubble Top, but the pictures tell it all. Give us a call to talk further.

2016 Chevy Equinox brings its revised face to Chicago

Thu, Feb 12 2015

It's vital these days for automakers to keep up with the Jones' when in the crossover market. The segment is just too popular among buyers to let a vehicle waste away, and Chevrolet is giving the 2016 Equinox a slight refresh at the Chicago Auto Show to hopefully keep people interested. In reality, though, the CUV isn't too much different beyond a tweaked face and some interior improvements. The exterior now boasts a revised front fascia with a chrome-accented grille and projector beam headlights, and at the rear there are new taillights. Top -evel models get LED running lights, as well. Inside, the Equinox features a standard seven-inch touchscreen infotainment system with a backup cam, and for added safety, the CUV is now available with rear cross traffic and blade zone alert on some trims. Beyond these updates, the powertrains carry over entirely from before with the choice between a 2.4-liter four-cylinder and a 3.6-liter V6. These refreshed 2016 models go on sale this fall.

Watch the live reveal of the 2014 Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra [UPDATE]

Thu, 13 Dec 2012

UPDATE: The trucks have been revealed. Click here for all of the official details.
As promised, Chevrolet and GMC are offering a live webcast of the world premiere for the all-new 2014 Silverado 1500 and Sierra 1500. After being teased with spy shots and blurry images like the one above for ages, now is the time to see the trucks in the metal, for real (well, as 'real' as it gets on a webcast, at any rate).
Shift your eyes down just below to see the reveal as it happens, starting at 9:30 AM EST. We anticipate having loads of images full technical information to share after the webcast, too, so truck aficionados should stay tuned. We'll also be bringing you live images of both trucks too, when we see them on the show floor at next month's Detroit Auto Show.

UAW to vote on strike at Kentucky Corvette plant

Tue, 08 Apr 2014

The current wait time for a new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is well, not short. With word of a strike at the Bowling Green, KY factory responsible for seventh-generation sports car, though, that wait time could end up growing substantially.
Now, a strike is still a ways off. UAW Local 2164, which represents the 800 workers responsible for screwing the Corvette together, is set to vote on authorizing a strike today, but even if the employees give the action a go, it's far from a sure thing. According to The Tennessean, both regional and national union officials would need to put their stamp of approval on strike action.
"The membership has to vote to strike, but it's just a step in the process," said Gary Casteel, the UAW's Region 8 director and one of the people that would need to authorize a strike action. Casteel told The Tennessean, "It's purely a local situation, though. They are having some issues with the local management."
