1963 Chevrolet Super Sport Impala on 2040-cars
Valley Center, California, United States
Check out this show quality 327 Turbo Fire Viper Blue Super Sport Impala with 5000 miles on the rebuilt engine! This is a rare find. This Impala has been garaged since ownership. The paint job is flawless with a small chip on the gas tank lid with no dents. The interior is bran new, all baby blue with no wear or tears. Interior roof is all baby blue and bran new as well. The rugs on the floor board are all blue to match the Impala's paint job, all new rugs with custom Impala Super Sport matching floor mats (as seen in pictures). All exterior/interior is all original from "63". I had a bran new top of the line A/C installed that is ice cold. This baby freezes within minutes. I put on 18" 100 spoke custom Daytons rims from the factory made for the car and top of the line low profile tires that have been driven on only twice ever! I had all new mirrors installed because the originals had chips in the glass. The new ones are the same as the originals purchased from the Impala factory. I installed a stereo system that cost over 6K with sound second to none. The inside has 4 super tweeters and 6 carbon fiber speakers. all of the speakers have been installed in the Impala's original speakers slots so there were no holes drilled or any other un-original modifications. The bluetooth cd player sits in the glove box custom built in with a USB port. This keeps the Impala looking original, so from the inside and outside of the vehicle everything looks 100% original. I kept the "63" stereo in the car but it is not connected. If you purchase the car and would like to connect the original stereo deck it would be very simple. I transformed the trunk into a work of art with 2 top of the line built in amps by American Bass used in competitions around the country with 4 8" American Bass subs built in. The amps have light tubes that can be changed up to 7 different colors alluminating the entire trunk. The trunk also has custom shelves on the left and right side that are carpeted and great for storage. Also there is a middle shelf that holds a spare tire. The Impala also sits on air bags so the ride is very smooth. The car starts with a turn of the key with no problems. I decided to leave the original engine in the car to keep the cars value. I also had power steering installed bran new. There are no oil leaks, fluid leaks, transmission problems, etc. There is no rust in the car or on the outside. The under carriage of the car is rust free, you will be amazed! This car is a beauty from the guts out. I advise anyone interested in purchasing this classic beauty to look around and see what these cars are selling for. I will answer any questions you have for me so please feel free to message me anytime. To give any bidder an idea of what this classic super sport is worth there is over 20K in upgrades alone and every upgrade is bran new and unused. I built this car as a hobby to sell after taking it to a couple car shows. Everywhere this car drives people are asking to take pictures, its that nice!

Junkyard Gem: 2005 Chevrolet Aveo LS Sedan
Sun, Jun 14 2020The story of Daewoo in North America took some interesting plot turns over the decades. First we had the 1988-1993 Pontiac LeMans, a rebadged Daewoo LeMans. A bit later, Daewoo began selling cars under its own nameplate here, with the Lanos, Nubira, and Leganza available for the 1999-2002 model years. Then Daewoo fled the continent and left warranty service of those cars in the hands of Manny, Moe, and Jack. With GM taking over Daewoo Motors after Daewoo's bankruptcy, we got some Daewoos with Suzuki badges here— the Verona and the Reno— while Chevrolet began selling the South Korean-built Daewoo Kalos as the Aveo for the 2004 model year. This car may not be a gem in the sense that you would want to own one, but it's a gem of automotive history and thus deserves its place in this series (especially because it's one of the rare 5-speed cars sold here). Many (maybe even most) of these cars ended up in the hands of rental-car companies and other fleet users, but we can tell from the three-pedal setup that this car went to a non-fleet buyer. We've had a couple of these cars compete in the 24 Hours of Lemons, where I work as a dignified and respected race official, and they've been amazingly quick on a road course in the hands of good drivers. Power came from this 103-horsepower Opel-designed four displacing 1.6 liters. The Nubira and Lanos got versions of this engine on these shores, too. The LS was the top trim level for the Aveo in 2004, so this car got air conditioning and a halfway decent audio system (by 2004 standards). The seat fabric is industrial-grade stuff, which would have held up well under the steady drip and/or torrents of bodily fluids coating the interiors of rental cars. The 2004 Aveo LS started at $12,045, which comes to about $16,675 in 2020 dollars, so it was a lot of commuter-appliance for the price. The following generation of this car became the Chevrolet Sonic, beginning with the 2012 model year. You can still buy a new Sonic, and the inflation-adjusted price is nearly identical to that of the original AveoÂ… though you might want to move fast if you really want one, because Daewoo stopped selling the Kalos in South Korea not long ago. If you want the rarest member of the Aveo family available in North America, find yourself a hen's-teeth Pontiac G3, the short-lived Pontiac-badged version. Speaking of the G3, here's the way it broke the hearts of gas pumps around the world.
Chevy Corvette gets Valet Mode with Performance Data Recorder [w/video]
Mon, 18 Aug 2014For the 2015-model-year, Chevrolet introduces Valet Mode for the Corvette, an enhancement to the Performance Data Recorder (PDR) already available and to your peace of mind. The PDR already captures 720p HD video with a windshield-mounted camera, records interior audio with a cabin microphone and gathers telemetry data using GPS, saving the data to an SD card in the glovebox. You can then watch your track-day antics with various information overlays on the center console screen.
Valet Mode will let you hit 'Replay' when your car gets pulled up front smelling vaguely of fricasseed clutch. Turned on by entering a four-digit code, it also locks the interior storage spaces and turns off the infotainment system. It can't be turned off until the code is re-entered. There's a press release below with more information as well as a video that explains how it works, with the obligatory dig at the 'Vette's biggest foe.
Performance cars overpower the Detroit Auto Show
Tue, Jan 13 2015At precisely the stroke of noon on Monday, the 2016 Acura NSX rolled on stage at the Detroit Auto Show amid plumes of smoke and dancing lights. The sounds of the powerful engine revving soared to the rafters. It was the second coming of Acura's iconic sports car, and the reveal had all of the expected trappings. Afterwards, champagne corks popped and the bubbly flowed. It was noon in Detroit, but for the green-car movement, it seemed like the clock had struck midnight. That's an exaggeration, but performance was the overwhelming theme of North America's most important show. Ford – which has helped lead the way in smaller displacement engines and early adoption of hybrid powertrains – had more than 1,500 horsepower on stage one point after it revealed the GT concept, the new F-150 Raptor and the Shelby Mustang GT350R. The NSX is technically a hybrid (it has three electric motors), but with 550-plus hp, there's no doubt this Acura was bred on the track. The theme continued throughout the show at nearly every stand. Alfa Romeo showed off the 4C Spider, which is the open-air version of a car that purports to be the spiritual successor of the high-performance 33 Stradale from 1967. On Tuesday, Cadillac is scheduled to reveal the 640-hp CTS-V with the V8 transplanted from the Corvette Z06, and the Lexus was expected to roll out its own V8-powered beast, the 467-hp GS F. For enthusiasts – especially enthusiasts with money – these are halcyon days. But make no mistake, all of this power has a purpose. Ford product chief Raj Nair said the Blue Oval uses high performance cars to develop technologies, like aerodynamics and materials, which are then shared across its lineup. "It's another proof point about how serious we are in developing innovation through performance," he said. Ford, which is rolling out at least 12 performance cars by 2020, said the sporty cars attract younger and more influential buyers to its fold, which can help burnish its image beyond adding sales volume. Toyota is taking a similar approach, senior vice president Bob Carter said, noting the Lexus RC coupe draws people into showrooms and gets them excited about the brand, even if they don't end up buying one. "They provide an aspiration and a halo that provides the attention that gets you noticed in a cluttered market," he said.
