1962 Chevrolet SS Convertible "4/Spd- 327/300hp-AC-Frame Off Rest." Loaded with options, Multi-award winner with professional high $ Restoration" Exterior: Red Interior: Red Convertible Top: Black Convertible boot: Red Engine: Original 327CID V-8/300hp Transmission: 4/speed synchromesh Rear: 3:70 posi-traction This incredible Chevy convertible has been the subject of a 13 year labor of love PROFESSIONAL frame off restoration which is photo documented. All parts used were NOS (NEW ORIGINAL STOCK) This was a meticulous restoration with no expense spared....they just don't come any better than this! This is a "JUDGED" car that scored over 950 out of a possible 1000 points. It has been the featured car in magazines and the subject of several articles. The magazines and articles will be included with the car as well as photo documentation of the restoration. It is the MOST heavily optioned 1962 Chevy SS Convertible I have personally EVER seen with OVER twenty options. I have been a car collector since 1958 and have seen and owned 1000's of collectable cars. In 1962 I factory ordered from my close friend Jim Rathmann in Melbourne,FL. a 404/409 4/speed Black with anniversary gold bucket seats hardtop SS Coupe. Jim won the Indy 500 in 1960 and his dealership furnished all the Corvettes to the astronauts in the 60's, 70's and 80's. When Jim passed away last year he was the oldest living Indy 500 winner.....we all miss him! I had lots of fun racing the car at various 1/4 mile tracks throughout the U.S.....but the 409 was not an engine that was built to last....derived from the 348 Chevy truck block....and turning it up over 6200-6500 rpms caused the failure of 5 engines....I ran out of money and patience after 10 months I gave up and sold my car. This Red/Red Chevy Impala SS Convertible is the car I wish I had bought back in 1962 instead of the 409! It has everything in the way of options and best of all it's a convertible!!! This engine combination (327/300HP) with the 4 speed and 3:70 ratio rear end is the very best for a gorgeous Chevy Convertible from this era. It has plenty of power yet has all the creature comforts as well.....and it's a real pleasure to drive...even on a long trip. A 409 with 340hp was offered but the 409 engine weighs almost 400 pounds more than this 327/300hp and the 409 engine makes this car "nose heavy" and therefore doesn't deliver near the ease of handling and driving pleasure as this 327/300hp. If you have ANY questions or wish to discuss the reserve or minimum acceptable price please call me at 954-873-6495. Also if you have a car or cars you might wish to offer in trade please send me photos to luvdg@aol.com and then call me to discuss the condition and perceived value of your car or cars. 1962 was the 1st year Chevy offered the Super Sport with bucket seats and a center sports console. The very 1st SS models appeared in the late Spring of 1961 on the 61 Models but only approx. 450 were built and these all had bench seats...not bucket seats.

Why not have fun with your money? ...enjoy your life and know that when you wake up in the morning your dollars are still safe in your garage or warehouse and haven't evaporated into thin air I was privileged to be close friends with the late Jerry J. Moore from Houston, Texas. Jerry was a Real Estate Mogul and one of the largest owners of shopping centers in the world. Jerry was also an avid car collector and amassed one of the largest and best vintage car collections on the Planet. If Jerry told me once....he probably told me over 100 times......"In case you forgot...remember..."You will never see a Brinks truck at a funeral service or a Hearse with a luggage rack at a cemetery!" Car collecting is a family thing...everyone around the world admires and loves these great vintage and collectible cars. We have sold cars from Australia to Alaska...From China to Saudi Arabia.....From Manhattan to Moscow....and the hobby keeps growing & expanding all the time. Collector car insurance is dirt cheap...about $250-$300 a year for a $75,000-$1000,000 car...full coverage! You do have to keep it in a garage and limit your miles to 2500 a year...other wise you might have to pay a little more. I always try and look for major flaws and mention them and try to point them out when I see something. Your welcome to come in person to inspect this car for yourself...hire anyone you like to come on your behalf....bring your magnets and magnifying glasses........see if you can find anything negative worth mentioning...We tried and couldn't find anything other than we stated in the description...maybe you can? We have tried diligently to find any MAJOR flaws in the paint, body, interior, chrome, glass, etc. and have not been able to locate anything that we could list as a MAJOR problem in the description. I truly believe there is no such thing as a "PERFECT" old car and we ARE NOT making such a claim.....but this car comes very, very close to perfection! We are urging you to PLEASE come and inspect the car in person, drive it or to hire an expert inspector to do this for you. AGAIN....Please do not ask us to recommend anyone....we want you to select & hire your own inspector.

2014 Chevrolet C7 Corvette wastes no time zooming into Jay Leno's Garage
Thu, 24 Jan 2013Where else would you expect the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray to show up first? Although this time it isn't exactly in Jay Leno's Garage, Leno instead playing an away game at Brown's Classic Auto in Scottsdale, Arizona. Nor does Leno drive the car, instead taking an 11-minute walkaround of the new American sports car with General Motors design head Ed Welburn, the same man who recently brought by a string of classic Corvettes to the talk show host's California compound.
It is, admittedly, a love-fest for the American sports car now featuring 450 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque, but one that also features admissions about previous Corvette seats like "they were kinda rough," and the explanation that labeling the coupe "Stingray" means not having to call it "the base Corvette." On top of that, Welburn also explains the proper application of the term "dashboard." You can watch it all in the video below.
GM won't pay owners of recalled cars for lost value
Thu, 12 Jun 2014Kenneth Feinberg, the man in charge of the General Motors compensation fund dealing with the its widespread ignition switch woes, has issued an informal, two-letter response to the plaintiffs in more than 70 lawsuits seeking redress for lost resale value of their Cobalts: "No." The cases were recently combined into one, but Feinberg told The Detroit News that the fund will deal "only with death and physical injury claims," and that "perceived diminished value" will get no consideration.
ALG, the firm specializing in establishing residual values, determined that Cobalt owners had lost $300 compared to the segment competition and doesn't envision any long-term effects from the recall situation. Feinberg's statement comes in advance of public details on how the compensation fund will work and adheres to GM's long-held position on the matter. The company has already asked a judge to throw out such suits using the pre-bankruptcy defense, even as it stopped using that defense in cases of injury and death.
With plenty of potential gain from the GM suit, however, don't expect the plaintiffs to give up yet. When Toyota was sued for the same reason during the unintended acceleration debacle, it eventually settled the case for between $1 billion and $1.4 billion just to get it over with. Since the 85 law firms involved in the Toyota litigation took home more than $250 million of that total, we shouldn't expect the attorneys to give up on a GM payout, either.
GM recalling 1.4 million older vehicles for oil leak fire risk
Tue, Oct 27 2015General Motors is recalling 1,411,332 older vehicles with its 3.8-liter V6 yet again due to a fire risk. Specifically, there are 1,283,340 of them in the US, and the affected models are the: 1997-2004 Pontiac Grand Prix 2000-2004 Chevrolet Impala 1998-1999 Chevrolet Lumina 1998-2004 Chevrolet Monte Carlo 1998-1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue 1997- 2004 Buick Regal The fault with these vehicles is that oil can drip onto the hot exhaust manifold during hard braking, which can potentially cause of fire. In the last six years, there have 19 reported minor injuries from this problem but no crashes or fatalities, according to the company. Spokesperson Alan Adler also told Autoblog: "GM has reports of 1,345 fires in vehicles that were repaired under two previous recalls for this issue." At this time, GM is still developing a remedy for the problem. According to Adler, the company advised owners to park these vehicles outside for the previous recalls. "The cars can be safely driven. In cases where a customer reported an engine fire while driving, smoke was reported, which would be an indication of a malfunction," he said. This is GM's fourth recall for this problem since 2008, according to The Detroit News. At one point it was believed that aging valve cover gaskets allowed the oil to leak out and drip onto the manifold. A campaign in 2009 covered nearly 1.5 million of these models through the 2003 model year for the same issue. At the time, dealers installed new spark plug wire retainers as a fix. Related Video: GM Statement: General Motors is recalling 1,283,340 older sedans and coupes in the U.S. from the 1997 to 2004 model years because drops of oil may be deposited on the hot exhaust manifold through hard braking, which can cause engine compartment fires. GM is working on a remedy. The company is aware of post-repair fires in some vehicles but no crashes or fatalities. There have been 19 reported minor injuries over the last six years. These vehicles with 3.8-liter V6 3800 engines are affected: 1997-2004 Pontiac Grand Prix, 2000-2004 Chevrolet Impala, 1998-1999 Chevrolet Lumina and 1998-2004 Chevrolet Monte Carlo, 1998-1999 Oldsmobile Intrigue and 1997-2004 Buick Regal. Including Canada, Mexico and exports, the total population is 1,411,332.
