OFFERED FOR SALE IS THIS 1962 CHEVROLET IMPALA 4 DOOR HARD TOP!

THIS CAR IS AN ABSOLUTE GREAT FIND! EVEN THOUGH THE MILEAGE IS PROBABLY IN EXCESS OF 200,000 MILES, IT'S VERY COMPLETE, UN-TAMPERED, AND RUST AND ROT FREE! IT RUNS AND DRIVES. ORIGINALLY PURCHASED IN CALIFORNIA, IT SPENT MOST OF IT'S LIFE IN BARSTOW AND HAD BEEN IN STORAGE IN MONTANA UNTIL JUST RECENTLY.

THE CAR RUNS AND DRIVES, BUT THE CARB DOES NEED A KIT. I HAD NEW PLUGS, POINTS, CAP, ROTOR, AND FUEL PUMP INSTALLED. I FIGURED THE BUYER COULD TACKLE THE CARB. THE POWER BRAKES ARE VERY, VERY TOUCHY. THE MUFFLERS ON THE DUAL EXHAUST WERE ABSOLUTELY SHOT, SO I HAD TEST PIPES WELDED IN, BECAUSE IT WAS LESS EXPENSIVE THAN NEW MUFFLERS. THE CAR IS LOUD. ALL THE WINDOWS ROLL UP AND DOWN WITH EASE. THE WINDSHIELD HAS A WIPER TRACKS ON IT, BUT OTHER THAN THE PASSENGER'S WING WINDOW, THERE IS NO BROKEN SOFT RAY TINTED GLASS (THE WING WINDOW ONLY HAS A ROCK CHIP CRACK IN IT). THERE IS NO WASHER SYSTEM FOR THE WINDSHIELD. LOOK AT THE PICTURES OF THE FIREWALL AND THE WIPER CONTROL. THE INTERIOR IS DIRTY AND COULD USE A GOOD CLEANING. I DID A QUICK VACUUMING. THE MAJORITY OF THE WEAR IS ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE (CARPET AND VENT KICK). THE AM RADIO WORKS AND THE SPEAKER SOUNDS GOOD. THE DRIVER'S ARM REST IS WORE OUT. THE FRONT SEAT HAS BEEN RECOVERED AND THERE IS A SPRING POKING THROUGH ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE BACK (PICTURED). THE CAR DOES HAVE ALL FOUR ORIGINAL HUBCAPS, ORIGINAL SPARE TIRE, AND JACK/LUG WRENCH (IT IS MISSING THE J-BOLT THAT HOLDS THE JACK AND SPARE TIRE DOWN). THE A/C DOES NOT WORK, BUT I HAVE MOST OF THE PARTS (THE BRACKETS FOR MOUNTING THE COMPRESSOR TO THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD ARE MISSING). THE TIRES ARE AT AT LEAST 75% LIFE LEFT. THE GENERATOR HAS BEEN CONVERTED TO AN ALTERNATOR (THE UPPER ALTERNATOR BOLT EAR IS BROKEN, BUT A REPLACEMENT ALTERNATOR IS INEXPENSIVE). I HAD THE OIL CHANGED AND IT HAS BEEN CONVERTED TO A SPIN-ON FILTER. THE TITLE IS CLEAN, CLEAR, AND IN MY NAME. THE ENGINE CODE SUFFIX IS "SA" (PICTURED), WHICH ACCORDING TO THE MANUALS, DENOTES A 1962 327cid ENGINE WITH A POWERGLIDE AND AIR CONDITIONING.

HERE IS THE BAD NEWS/GOOD NEWS:

THE HEATER CORE LEAKS AND IT RUINED THE CARPET ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE. GOOD NEWS: IT CAN BE FIXED AND THE FLOOR BOARDS ARE SOLID.

SOME MORON CUT THE AIR CONDITIONING HOSES, UN-BOLTED THE COMPRESSOR, AND LOST THE MOUNTING BRACKETS, SO IT DOES NOT WORK. GOOD NEWS: I HAVE THE COMPRESSOR AND THE CUT HOSES.

THE TRUNK LOCK WAS DRILLED AND THE CYLINDER AND EXTENSION ARE GONE (PICTURED). GOOD NEWS: I'M SURE THEY ARE EASY TO FIND.

ONE TAIL LIGHT BULB SOCKET IS BROKEN (PICTURED). GOOD NEWS: GM USED THESE SOCKETS ON MILLIONS OF CARS, SO THEY ARE PLENTIFUL IN THE SALVAGE YARDS.

THE CLOCK DOESN'T WORK. GOOD NEWS: WE HAVE WATCHES AND CELLULAR PHONES WITH CLOCKS.

THE LIGHTER IS MISSING (SOCKET IS STILL IN THE DASH). GOOD NEWS: SMOKING IS NOT GOOD FOR YOU, SO WITHOUT A LIGHTER YOU WON'T BE TEMPTED TO LIGHT UP.

THE POWER STEERING LEAKS. GOOD NEWS: IT ISN'T A LOT AND CAN BE FIXED WITH A NEW HOSE.

THE PASSENGER'S WING WINDOW HAS SMALL CRACK IN IT. GOOD NEWS: IT'S STILL INTACT.

THE GLOVE BOX LINER IS SHOT. GOOD NEWS: IT'S FOLDED CARD STOCK AND MORE THAN LIKELY CAN BE REPRODUCED.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR COURTESY DOME LIGHT SWITCH IS ERRATIC. GOOD NEWS: THE PASSENGER'S SIDE WORKS FINE.

THE ENGINE RUNS REALLY, REALLY RICH. GOOD NEWS: A CARB REBUILD WOULD FIX THAT. I'M LEAVING THAT TO THE BUYER.

THE PARKING BRAKE RELEASE HANDLE IS BROKE AND THE PEDAL PAD IS MISSING (PICTURED). GOOD NEWS: I'M PRETTY CERTAIN A SUITABLE REPLACEMENTS COULD BE FOUND.

THE DRIVER'S SUN VISOR MOUNTING BRACKET IS BROKE (PICTURED). GOOD NEWS: IT CAN BE WELDED, GROUND, AND RE-PLATED.
 
THERE IS A SMALL TEAR IN THE HEADLINER NEAR THE PASSENGER'S SIDE COURTESY LIGHT (PICTURED). GOOD NEWS: IT WILL GO AWAY WHEN THE BUYER INSTALLS THEIR OWN CUSTOM INTERIOR.

THIS IS THE BEST NEWS ABOUT THE CAR: OTHER THAN A VERY SMALL AMOUNT OF SURFACE RUST, THE BODY, FRAME, AND FLOOR PANS ARE SOLID AND RUST FREE.

THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR DOOR HAS SOME VERY MINOR DAMAGE (PICTURED). THERE IS KINK NEAR THE DRIVER'S HEADLIGHTS (PICTURED). THE USUAL PARKING LOT DINGS ARE PRESENT NOTHING DEEP OR SEVERELY CREASED (THE WORST IN THE DRIVER'S REAR QUARTER. PICTURED). THE DOORS, DECK LID, AND HOOD FIT GOOD AND OPERATE WITH EASE AND NO BINDING. ALL THE DOORS CLOSE WITH A RESOUNDING "CA-CHUNK" THE BUMPER LICENSE PLATE PANELS HAVE SOME MINOR "RIPPLING" (PICTURED), THE GRILLE IS REASONABLY STRAIGHT, BUT IT COULD USE SOME MINOR TWEAKING (PICTURED). THE SEATING SURFACES SHOW WEAR, BUT ARE NOT TORN (EXCEPTION: SPRING POKING THROUGH THE BACK. NOTED EARLIER AND PICTURED). THE HEADLINER IS INTACT (ONE SMALL TEAR NOTED EARLIER AND PICTURED). THE CARPET IS A LOSS, AS IT SOAKED UP COOLANT FROM THE LEAKING HEATER CORE AND JUST FLAT DIRTY FROM GROUND IN DIRT. I TRIED TO CLEAN IT, BUT ITS TIME FOR IT TO BE REPLACED, AS THE DRIVER'S SIDE IS THREADBARE. I FIND NO EVIDENCE THAT CAR WAS EVER IN A MAJOR ACCIDENT.

I'VE DONE MY BEST TO PICTURE THE CAR, BUT I'M ONLY ALLOWED 24 PICTURES, SO I LINKED THIS LISTING TO A PORTFOLIO ON PHOTOBUCKET. JUST CUT AND PASTE THIS LINK INTO A BROWSER WINDOW:

Use this PowerPoint when convincing your spouse to let you buy a Corvette

Thu, 14 Feb 2013

When you are not the one in charge of the purse strings, creativity is a must when trying to get the string-holder to bankroll that next shiny object you just can't live without.
When I was a kid, I decided that life wasn't worth living if it weren't in pursuit of owning a GMC Typhoon. My 12-year-old self crafted a fiscal strategy that, when combined with my offer of a 49-percent share of ownership in the car in return for my parents' contribution of 80-percent of the purchase price, would see me behind the wheel of a Typhoon by the time I hit college. They walked away from the negotiating table and, the economic climate of the 8th grade being what it was at the time, another partner wasn't found before the Typhoon was discontinued.
Roy El-Rayes, however, has succeeded where 12-year-old me failed, and he did it by using the sort of professionalism that only a PowerPoint presentation can provide, along with some humor and bold-faced flattery.

Why 2015 is going to be a huge year for trucks

Thu, Jan 22 2015

Nissan chief executive Carlos Ghosn took center stage to introduce the 2016 Titan last week at the Detroit Auto Show. He spoke of the truck's new features, impressive Cummins V8 diesel engine and the extensive amount of time and money required to build a modern, competitive pickup truck. "We have done all of this because we see opportunity – an opportunity in the unmet needs of today's American truck customers," Ghosn said. He was speaking about the Titan, but his thoughts echo the industry's mindset: When it comes to trucks, find an opportunity and attack. Even with CAFE regulations looming and fickle consumer preferences, investing in trucks is a no-brainer for automakers. Some consumers will always need a truck for their job or lifestyle. And some people will always want one, whether they need it or not. With that in mind, here are four reasons why the pickup-truck sector is more important than ever and poised for growth in 2015. View 24 Photos The Nissan Titan Is Back Okay, it never left, but the Titan hadn't been redesigned since its launch in 2003, and Nissan sold more NV200s than Titans in 2014. It's an understatement to say the truck was languishing. That all changes with the 2016 model. The Titan will come in two variants, a traditional fullsize competitor and the Titan XD. The XD will lead the market launch, and it arrives late this year. It's pitched as a "whitespace" offering, Nissan sales and marketing vice president Fred Diaz said. The idea is to offer something in the general size and price range of a fullsize truck, but also have some of the capability of a heavy-duty truck. The XD uses a fully boxed ladder frame, the chassis design from Nissan's commercial division, and the wheelbase is about 20 inches longer than other Titan models. The XD, which Nissan is calling the flagship of the line, will be the only model with the 5.0-liter Cummins turbodiesel V8. It produces 310 horsepower and 555 pound-feet of torque, while being able to tow 12,000 pounds. V6 and V8 gasoline models will also be offered on the Titan XD and the standard, non-XD model. When production ramps up, the Titan will be sold with several cabs, beds and trims. New features include trailer sway control, an integrated trailer brake controller, more storage options in the cabin and even laminated front and rear side glass to reduce outside noise. All of this has given Nissan fresh confidence in an area where it admittedly has been lacking. "We can compete," Diaz told Autoblog.

Here are 12 electric pickups in the works

Wed, Oct 21 2020

With the unveiling of the GMC Hummer EV, the list of planned electric pickups is expanding. Legacy automakers like Ford and Chevy have theirs coming, as do startups like Tesla, Rivian and Bollinger, as well as some lesser known brands. Here are all the electric pickup trucks we know to be in the works, along with a few that are being discussed or mulled over. GMC Hummer EV The 2022 GMC HUMMER EV is a first-of-its kind supertruck develop View 40 Photos We’ve seen it now, and itÂ’s the business. The GMC Hummer EV comes out swinging with 1,000 horsepower from GMÂ’s new Ultium electric powertrain program, a wealth of off-road features, a removable roof, Super Cruise and the revival of the Hummer name. WeÂ’ll see the first ones on the road next fall. Tesla Cybertruck Tesla Cybertruck at the Petersen Museum View 14 Photos Tesla revealed the Cybertruck last year with, ahem, unique styling, a number of powertrain options and a claimed range of up to 500 miles. It has a compressed paper dash, a ramp for the bed, and “shatterproof” windows. It has already racked up hundreds of thousands of reservations. It will be built in Texas. Rivian R1T 2021 Rivian R1T View 15 Photos EV startup Rivian revealed its R1T electric pickup toward the end of 2018 with a claimed 0-60 time of 3 seconds and a towing capability of 11,000 pounds. Preproduction began in September 2020 at RivianÂ’s factory in Normal, Illinois. Bollinger Motors B2 Bollinger Motors B2 side outdoors View 31 Photos BollingerÂ’s B2 electric pickup is a Class 3 off-roader with retro styling, removable roof panels, and a unique “frunkgate” with a pass-through down the center of the vehicle. It was created with both enthusiasts and workers in mind, with features that can get it to remote places (portal axles, hydro-pneumatic suspension) and to get things done (room for 40 2x4s, equipped with eight 110-volt outlets and one 220-volt outlet). Bollinger also plans to make the B2 Chassis Cab available for fleet customization. Ford F-150 Electric Electric Ford F-150 Towing View 9 Photos WeÂ’ve known this to be in the works since early 2019. Since then, details have trickled out. Back in June, Ford announced its F-150 Electric would be coming within two years. WeÂ’ve seen it pull a million pounds worth of train and trucks, heard it will have more power than any other F-150, and seen its LED-laden front end.
