1963 Impala Ss Convertible Project on 2040-cars
Toms River, New Jersey, United States
Here is a 1963 chevrolet Impala Convertible SS Im selling for a friend who is older and does not deal with computers .
It has the Z02 and Z03 SS bucket seats and console in the trim plate ,making this a true SS . Condidtion im sorry to say is not the best . It will require bumper to bumper restoration . The body has had work done in the past and was even painted Black when the SS was a Red/Burgundy color . Some time after that while in the last owners possession he sent it out to have metal restoration work done . The lower quaters , floor pans and some of the trunk where repaired but im sorry to say its not up to todays standards Please view photos for details !! Now it is fixable and you can make it look alot better with out spending a ton of money and make a driver out of it if your handy with metal work . If it was me re-doing this car i would put quarters and a full floor pan a decent body and paint job and go over it mechanically and make it a driver . It was sitting for some time pretty much a barn find , so the intererior has the white stains The top is old and needs to be replaced . I did get the chance to drive the car and it drove like an old car thats needs a few things but never the less it runs decent . The tires are only a year old . Motor ( i was told its a 283 ) is running a bit rich , and the trany has a leak . I did notice that the battery keeps draining im not sure yet why . When it sits for a few days its dead . Long story short a few days in your garage and you could drive it once you have gone through all the normal Mechanicals ie brakes , carb , fluids lines and hoses ect . So pretty much it you wanted a cheap 63 SS convertible here it is . It has Power steering and brakes and top (Top needs servicing ) Depsoit of 500.00 at auctions end ( this provides me your a ligit bidder .)

NHTSA closes 4-year GM investigation, issues common sense advisory [w/video]
Thu, Apr 9 2015Since January 2011, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has been investigating a possible problem with corroding brake lines in General Motors' GMT800-platform models, like the Chevrolet Silverado and Suburban and GMC Sierra, in states with salt on their roads in the winter. However, as opposed to launching a full recall of millions of vehicles, the government is issuing a common-sense safety advisory to all drivers in snowy states to keep their vehicle's undercarriage clean. It even has a video explaining things. "Older-model vehicles, often driven in harsh conditions, are subject to corrosion over long periods of time, and we need owners to be vigilant about ensuring they, their passengers, and others on the roads are safe," said NHTSA Administrator Mark Rosekind in the announcement of the end of the investigation. The agency was clear in its report that "brake line corrosion seen in the GM vehicles was not unique," and the government "has not identified a defect that would initiate a recall order." Instead NHTSA is advising drivers, especially those of vehicles from before 2007, to wash their vehicle's undercarriage in the winter and spring to remove salt or other de-icing chemicals. It also recommends regular checks by a mechanic to make sure everything is in proper order. According to the investigation documents, for just the GMT800 platform models, NHTSA found 3,645 complaints of brake line corrosion, which included allegations of 107 crashes and 40 injuries. The issue was found to be more common in vehicles over 10 years old. GM has released a statement (embedded below) that the company "supports the consumer advisory from NHTSA urging regular maintenance and care of brake lines on older vehicles." NHTSA Closes Investigation into Brake-Line Failures NHTSA 13-15 Thursday, April 9, 2015 Agency issues safety advisory on preventing undercarriage corrosion WASHINGTON – The Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) today issued a Safety Advisory and consumer video encouraging owners of model year 2007 and older trucks, SUVs and passenger cars to inspect brake lines and thoroughly wash the underside of their vehicles to remove corrosive salt after the long winter in order to prevent brake-line failures that increase the risk of a crash.
Just the right Camaro can change your life
Thu, Jan 22 2015Not many people can say that their car directly motivated them into a career, but that's exactly the case for Adam Martin and his 1968 Chevrolet Camaro that he calls Lucy. Martin bought the pony car in primer when he was just 16, and it helped foster his profession in restoring classic cars. Beyond just being a very cool ride for a teenager, every change to Lucy was an opportunity to hone a new automotive skill for Martin. Whether figuring out how to paint a car or building the 454-cubic-inch (7.4-liter) big block V8, the Camaro offered a platform for experimentation. This latest episode of Petrolicious gets personal about the bond between man and machine for this 18-year ongoing project. And even if the story doesn't immediately grab you, Lucy has a great voice and can do a mean burnout.

2014 Chevrolet Malibu gets more torque, more room and inspiration from the Impala
Fri, 31 May 2013The 2014 Chevrolet Malibu, having stared at the Impala across the showroom floor for a year, gets nips and tucks all over inspired by its larger brother. The 2.5-liter four-cylinder in the base car will get a stop-start system and 23 city miles per gallon, 35 highway, each number representing a one-mpg improvement over the 2013 car. Output is 196 horsepower and 186 pound-feet of torque.
Opt for the 2.0-liter turbo and, while power holds steady at 259 hp, torque goes up by 14 percent to a striking 295 lb-ft (a figure Chevy calls best in the class). The final details include newly programmed transmission shift points and faster shifts, for better engaging and enjoying the added power.
Looks-wise, the grille's been reshaped to be more in line with the new Chevrolet look, a narrower upper grille hovering over a larger lower grille.
