1963 Chevrolet Impala Sport Coupe - 409 Cubic Inch engine 425 Horse power. Barn Find-Survivor Impala.   This is the original paint and interior. Great Patina.  Accident Free and Rust Free Oregon car.  The car was sold new in Canby, Oregon, at Sam's Garage. One owner.  I bought it six years ago, after the original owner passed away.  I just finished a complete Mechanical restoration of it.  I was careful to preserve the original paint and interior.  I wanted the Barn Find-Survivor  look.  It has an original 1963 Chevrolet 409 - 425 Horsepower QB engine with a Muncie close ratio 4 speed.  This car was born with a 6 cylinder engine with a 3 speed manual transmission.  The following is what I did to the Impala.  I was after a "Day 2" Survivor look.

ENGINE: I purchased the complete engine from a 1963 Impala, that was rolled and totaled back in 1965.  The car had 20,000 miles.  The engine went into storage from 1965 until August of 2011, when I bought it.  Since it was stored for 46 years, I had it professionally rebuilt.  There was no ring ridge or cylinder taper, Standard bore.  I found some NOS piston rings, for the original TRW pistons.  The crank was standard on the Main and Rod journals, so it was polished and new standard bearings were installed. New oil pump.  Gave it a valve job and new valve stem seals.  The block number is 3830814 and the stamp on the pad is 11023QB.  The heads are the High performance Big Port #3814690 heads.  The intake manifold number is 3814881 and is a Winters casting.  I had the original AFB (3361 and 3362) carburetors rebuilt.  Correct 409 distributor, its number is 1111023.  I did convert it to a Pertronix Electric conversion (It is hidden under the original cap, however I retained the stock points equipment).  I rebuilt the original water pump, the original alternator, new AC Delco fuel pump.  Still has the original Dripper Valve covers and air cleaner.  New air filter element.  New Flywheel and Heavy Duty Ram clutch assembly.  New reproduction radiator, hoses, heater hoses, battery, etc.  Completely new exhaust system; with Sanderson Headers, and Flowmaster 40 Mufflers. I had the Muncie Close ratio 4 speed  trans rebuilt and it shifts great.  I did use a Hurst Shifter assembly, with a reproduction original GM shifter handle.  Reproduction 6000 RPM tach.  Stewart Warner Oil and temp gauges.  I did every thing right with the right parts.  The Impala starts, runs, drives and stops great.  I have driven it 20 miles since completing it.  It is a fresh build.  Three inch thick build book documenting all the parts and work done.  Receipts for every thing.  Clean and clear Oregon title.

OTHER:  I installed American mags, 7 x 15 front, and 8-1/2 x 15 rear.  Tires are new Dunlop GT Qualifiers, 215/70x15 front and 235/70x15 rear.  4 New Gas shocks.  The car is located in Corvallis, Oregon 97330.  I am located 85 miles South of the Portland, Oregon Airport.  I am 35 miles North of the Eugene, Oregon Airport.  Fly in and drive it home.  Or, I will assist your shipper with loading it.  I have been an Ebayer since 2002, with a 100% rating.  The car is For Sale locally, so the auction may end early.  If you have any questions, or need more information please call me on my cell (541) 740-4140.  The car is available for your inspection.  Email works too.  If I don't answer my cell, please call my office (541) 753-5944 and leave a message.  I just turned 67 years old, and I am going to retire.  I will be selling my business.  So I need to down size my fleet some what.   Good luck bidding.

24 Hours of Le Mans live update part two

Sun, Jun 19 2016

We tasked surfing journalist Rory Parker to watch this year's live stream of the 2016 24 Hours of Le Mans. What follows is an experiment to experience the world's greatest endurance race from the perspective of a motorsports novice. Parker lives in Hawaii and can hold his breath longer than he can go without swearing. For Part One, click here. Or you can skip ahead to Part Three here. I write about surfing for a living. If you can call it a living. Basically means I spend my days fucking around and my wife pays for everything. Because she's got a real job that pays well. Brings home the bacon. Very progressive arrangement. Super twenty first century. I run a surf website, beachgrit.com, with two other guys. It's a strange gig. More or less uncensored. Kind of popular. Very good at alienating advertisers. My behavior has cost us a few bucks. I'm terrible at self-censorship. Know there's a line out there, no idea where it lies. I still don't understand any of the technical side. Might as well be astrophysics or something. For contests I do long rambling write ups. They rarely make much sense. Mainly just talk about my life, whatever random thoughts pop into my head. "Can you do something similar for Le Mans?" "Sure, but I know absolutely fuck-all about racing." "That's okay. Just write what you want." "Will do. But you're gonna need to edit my stuff. Probably censor it heavily." So here I am. I spent the last week trying to learn all I can about the sport of endurance racing. But there's only so much you can jam in your head. And I still don't understand any of the technical side. Might as well be astrophysics or something. While I rambled things were happening. Tracy Krohn spun into the gravel on the Forza chicane. #89 is out of the race after an accident I missed. Pegasus racing hit the wall on the Porsche curves. Bashed up front end, in the garage getting fixed. Toyota and Porsche are swapping back and forth in the front three. Ford back in the lead in GTE Pro. #91 Porsche took a stone through the radiator, down two laps. Not good. The wife and I are one of those weird childless couples that spend way too much time caring for the needs of their pet. French bulldog, Mr Eugene Victor Debs. Great little guy. Spent the last four years training him to be obedient and friendly. Nice thing about dogs, when you're sick of dealing with them you can just lock 'em in another room for a few hours. You don't need to worry about paying for college.
