Hello,
This Impala is a family heirloom. My uncle purchased it new in Los Angeles, CA in 1962, my grandmother (his mother) acquired the car in 1968. It remained with her in Casper, Wyoming until her passing in 1991. It's been in the care of my brother and I since that time. The car was used fitfully from then until 1998, it's, been seldom-used since then. As far as I know, and with the exception of new (1987) paint and some very minor additions, the car is completely original. It still requires lead-substitute compound to run on unleaded gasoline. The interior too, is all original-the driver's seat upholstery is split in places, but everything else is in great shape. The only option outside of the SS trim is the limited-slip differential. The car will need work to be roadworthy, this isn't a drive-away. It runs well enough but the carburetor needs adjustment, and possibly a rebuild (engine pulls steady vacuum, though) and the exhaust system is shot (but the manifolds are OK). Because the car spent a good part of it's life in the snow belt, there's some rust, but most of it is contained, or can be. At some point in the last five (!) decades, someone installed an alarm key barrel-I'm guessing from childhood memories that it was one of those open-a-door-or-pop-the-hood-and-the-horn-blows gizmos. It's just below the drivers side windshield corner and it's in good order and isn't that much of a distraction. There's also an emergency lamp panel installed under the dashboard. I'll attempt now to to list the attributes of this automobile, and link to my many pictures and videos.
The exhaust system needs replacing from the headers back.
The brake master cylinder is leaking.
There's some rocker panel rust, near the driver's side rear whe
el opening, close to the frame, and some bubbling on the right rear wheel opening.
The trunk has some rust in the left side upright weld under the hinge. The rust stains on the pads (original, but well-worn) are NOT from the car, it's
from iron parts stored in the trunk (chains, extra jack, etc.).
There's a bubble in the paint on the hood-I have no explanation for it, it doesn't appear to be corrosion-related.
The left front brake drum grabs-I pulled it to see what was going on with it, the hydraulics and shoes are OK, but I think it needs a quick pass in a lathe. I left it be, because in my experience, a quick fix can render a good part into junk.
All the electrics are OK, with the exception of the right-most rear brake light, and the wiper motor. I think the wiper motor is OK, the problem probably lies elsewhere. The green "cold" indicator in the dash wasn't working lately, until last week when it came back to life.
The trim is all in place. With the exception of a small segment of the turned aluminum over the left front fender that fell away, everything is as it was new. The hubcap paint hasn't been filled in with new paint-they're as they should be on a 50+ year-old car. Part of the "Impala" emblem on the right flank broke off, it's safe in the glove compartment. No need for a retro knockoff bit :-)
The aluminum grille has some minor damage-it's small, but it's noticeable, so I've mentioned it.
The PVC system (such as it is, for a 50 year-old car) needs hoses and flexible connectors
The tires are very old. I used to be a tire and brake guy, those tires need to be replaced.
There are several scratches in the paint, typical parking lot stuff. If you want to paint the car, this won't matter. Even so, it gets a
lot of attention, the paint as it is looks good on the car.
The engine is sound, but reluctant when cold. The starter solenoid is sometimes intermittent-I have an extra around here somewhere.
The 2-speed cast-iron transmission shifts firmly and when it's supposed to. I averaged 20+ miles to the gallon on the drive from Wyoming
to California. This transmission and a GM small-block was a great, economical combination.
The radio is great, both of the speakers work and it pulls in stations from great distances. From the days when AM radio was everything.
The interior is very nice. The driver's seat is split in places, and the arm rest in the driver's door has electrical tape covering a split, but that's
about it as far as the interior goes.
All the glass is in good order. Both vent windows work as they should. There's a small crack (less than 3/8") in the left wing window.
The window tinting works and looks great.
The title is clean, but several years fees are due the California DMV-these will be taken care of before the car is turned over to the new owner
or their transport service.
Terms: A $500.00 deposit to PayPal from the winning bidder 48 hours after auction end. Full payment expected within 7 days time.
We do not have the resources or connections to arrange for shipment of the car, transport will be the responsibility of the winning bidder.
As I always encourage prospective bidders to do-please go over all the photos carefully, and PLEASE ask any questions you have before
bidding, thank you.

2016 Chevy Corvette Z06 C7.R Edition brings track style to the road
Fri, Apr 24 2015The Chevrolet Corvette has a long history of excelling at endurance racing, and continues to dominate today. To celebrate that legacy, Chevy is bringing some of the look of its track machine to the road with the 2016 Corvette Z06 C7.R Edition. These machines might be gone faster than the racecar's lap time around Le Mans, because the company is building just 500 of them. All of these track-inspired, special editions are based on the 650-horsepower, supercharged Z06 in the top 3LZ trim, and they also come equipped with the Z07 Performance Package that includes carbon-ceramic brakes, adjustable aero elements, and Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires. Offered as a coupe or convertible, these 'Vettes use some tricks to match the style of the C7.R. They're available in the racer's traditional bright yellow livery, but black is optional. Unpainted carbon fiber trim (including material for the hood) and grilles that are painted Spectra Gray Metallic also add to the motorsport look. The car rides on a set of black wheels with Corvette Racing logos on the center caps. Inside, buyers of this limited edition are nestled in Competition Sport Seats that are upholstered in Jet Black leather. Suede microfiber accents with yellow stitching cover the steering wheel, gearshift, instrument panel and doors. Plus, there's some additional carbon fiber trim for good measure. Each car also comes with a cover with C7.R graphics. Chevy isn't disclosing the price for the Z06 C7.R Edition yet, but the limited edition model is slated to hit the market later this year. Related Video: CHEVROLET INTRODUCES 2016 CORVETTE Z06 C7.R EDITION 24/04/15 Track-to-street connection honored with limited production model BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – Chevrolet today introduced the 2016 Corvette Z06 C7.R Edition – a road-going, track-capable homage to the Corvette Racing C7.R racecars. It's offered in Corvette Racing's signature yellow livery – or black – with coordinated exterior and interior accents. Only 500 examples of the C7.R Edition will be built and all will include the Z07 Performance Package with carbon ceramic brakes, as well as a specially serialized vehicle identification number. They go on sale later this year. "Corvette Racing's legacy and technology were significant influences on the development of the Corvette Z06 and the new C7.R Edition honors the direct link between the racecar and the production model," said Harlan Charles, Corvette product and marketing manager.
2016 Green Truck of the Year, Commercial Green Car of the Year finalists
Sat, Oct 24 2015Not only are commercial-grade haulers getting more green love lately, they're getting more different kinds of green love. The 2016 Green Truck of the Year, the second time the award has been handed out, is being decided by judges from Green Car Journal and the San Antonio Auto & Truck Show. This year the award is joined by the new 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year, which crowns one of the little vans increasingly used by small business as cargo and delivery vehicles. The Green Truck of the Year finalists are the Chevrolet Colorado Duramax (pictured), Ford F-150, GMC Canyon Duramax, Nissan Titan XD, and Toyota Tacoma. The first three of those were on last year's list, but since they are completely new or upgraded for 2016 - Ford with its all-aluminum body, the General Motors twins with the new diesel Duramax engine - they qualify for entry again. The Ram 1500 EcoDiesel won last year. The Commercial Green Car finalists are the Chevrolet City Express, Ford Transit Connect, Mercedes-Benz Metris, Nissan NV200, and Ram ProMaster City. You can read more details in the presser below, and the awards will be announced in San Antonio sometime during the show from November 19-22. San Antonio Auto & Truck Show Announces 2016 Green Truck of the Year and Commercial Green Car of the Year Finalists SAN ANTONIO, Oct. 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Green Car Journal and the San Antonio Auto & Truck Show have announced finalists for the 2016 Green Truck of the Year™ and 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year™ awards. The Green Truck of the Year™ nominees are the Chevrolet Colorado Duramax, Ford F-150, GMC Canyon Duramax, Nissan Titan XD, and Toyota Tacoma. Vying for the all-new 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year™ award are the Chevrolet City Express, Ford Transit Connect, Mercedes-Benz Metris, Nissan NV200, and Ram ProMaster City. "Over the past few decades, new car models have benefitted from design and technology improvements that have brought higher fuel efficiency and greater levels of environmental compatibility," said Green Car Journal and CarsOfChange.com Editor and Publisher Ron Cogan. "With models like these ten deserving finalists, we're witnessing the pickup and light commercial vehicle field enjoying the same attention." The new Commercial Green Car of the Year™ award is part of an expanded awards program presented at this year's 2015 San Antonio Auto & Truck Show.
NHTSA ends GM steering investigation without seeking a recall
Wed, Jun 8 2022DETROIT — U.S. safety regulators have closed an investigation into sticky power steering on thousands of older General Motors SUVs and will not seek a recall. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says GM in 2014 issued “special coverage” to fix the problem on the Chevrolet Equinox, GMC Terrain and other models. The coverage replaced a steering gear with an improved one. The agency said a recall isn't needed because of the coverage and low complaint and warranty repair rates. The agency opened the probe in June of 2020 into steering problems affecting an estimated 781,000 of the SUVs from the 2010 through 2012 model years. Increased friction could make it feel like the steering wheel is stuck. But GM said the SUVs could still be turned, although with more effort than usual. “In view of the special coverage, low rate of failure and low potential hazard to drivers, this preliminary evaluation is closed,” the agency wrote in documents posted Wednesday on its website.
