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.

Recharge Wrap-up: Chevy Spark EV in Canada, Audi to use Valeo electric supercharger

Mon, Apr 13 2015

The Chevrolet Spark EV will become available to retail customers in Canada. "We're expanding our electric vehicle offerings to our customers by offering the 2016 Spark EV for retail sales in the growing EV markets here in Quebec as well as in Ontario and BC," says Chevrolet's Chris Hay. Chevrolet has not yet released pricing for the Spark EV in Canada. In the US, the Spark EV is available in California, Oregon and Maryland. Read more at Hybrid Cars. Four recreational vehicle companies in Texas have settled with the EPA over illegal import and sale of off-road vehicles. The 4,000-plus Hammerhead brand vehicles in question were imported without the proper certification, a violation of the Clean Air Act. Some vehicles lacked proper emission control equipment or were manufactured by a company not listed on the certificate application. The settlement totals $560,000 in civil penalties for the companies involved. Read more from the EPA. The Iowa Supreme Court has upheld the state's natural gas tax, which was challenged by the ethanol industry. Ethanol producers, which use natural gas to make ethanol, argued the complicated tax was unconstitutional, as it forced certain plants to pay more than their competitors. Taxes vary by location, and some plants have to tap into interstate pipelines at much higher tax rates rather than get it from a local utility. Now, ethanol producers will work to change the law. "My hope is that people understand that, something may be constitutional but that doesn't make it good public policy," says Iowa Renewable Fuels Association Executive Director Monte Shaw. Read more at Manufacturing.Net. Audi will use Valeo's electric superchargers to improve fuel economy and acceleration. Valeo says Audi will launch a vehicle using its electric supercharger next year, with other reports suggesting that car will be the Audi Q7. The company says other unspecified automakers will also use the technology in their vehicles. While the electric supercharger adds to the vehicle's cost and electric energy use, it can improve fuel economy by as much as 20 percent. Read more at Automotive News Europe.

2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray priced from $51,995*

Fri, 26 Apr 2013

After months of speculation, Chevrolet has finally revealed the official starting price of the 2014 Corvette Stingray. The base MSRP for the 450-horsepower Stingray Coupe will be $51,995, while the Stingray Convertible will go for $56,995 (*both prices include a $995 destination fee). This means that the price increase from 2013 to 2014 is just $1,400 for the coupe and $2,395 for the convertible - pretty modest increases considering the upgrade in specifications. Of course, neither price accounts for the sort of dealer markup that might grace early C7 window stickers, especially since less than a third of all Chevrolet dealers will be allocated Corvette models to sell at the car's launch.
Now, these prices are for the base car, so if you're wondering how much a fully loaded Stingray will run, Chevy has given us a good indication of that as well. The coupe we saw on display at the Detroit Auto Show (shown above), for example, would run $73,360 including options such as the $2,800 Z51 Performance Package, $2,495 competition sport seats and the $1,795 Magnetic Ride Control option - just to name a few. Stepping up to the 3LT trim level that brings a full leather interior will run an extra $8,005 over the base price.
While $20,000 in options may seem like a lot, this "as-tested" price still has the C7 competitively priced against rival coupes like the Porsche 911 and Nissan GT-R. Speaking of price comparisons, Chevrolet also points out that the C7 Stingray Z51 costs $2,200 less than the C6 Grand Sport while delivering better acceleration (0-60 mph in less than four seconds) and improved track performance (including more than 1 g in cornering).

GM cutting production at two plants

Thu, Feb 26 2015

General Motors is continuing to adjust to excess supply of some of its brands' models. To get production more in line with the vehicles' actual demand, the automotive giant is idling two of its factories in North America in the coming months. The Orion Assembly plant is going to be down from March 9-13, according to an anonymous plant worker and another insider speaking to Automotive News. The factory builds the Chevrolet Sonic and Buick Verano, but there are plenty of both models sitting on dealer lots, including 216 days worth of Sonics, according to AN. The factory already had two idle periods announced to reduce the excess. In addition, downtime is scheduled at GM's "Flex" line at the Oshawa, Ontario, Canada, plant from April 13-17. This affects supply of the Chevrolet Camaro, Impala, Buick Regal and Cadillac XTS. Among them, the automotive giant has the largest supply of Regals ready for dealers with 213 days worth of them, according to AN. The future for the whole Oshawa factory is cloudy in general, though. There are rumors that it could close entirely in the future because the Camaro is leaving and the Regal and XTS might not last much longer than 2017. The Canadian government and the labor union there intend to put up a fight, though.
