1964 Chevrolet Impala 4-door Hard Top ('gangster'-style) on 2040-cars
You are bidding on our 1964 Chevy Impala 4-door hard top. This does NOT have the window side posts and is what people who know their Impalas would call the 'Gangster Ride'.
The interior seat covers are rough but I am pretty sure the original green seats are fine, the black seat covers just need replaced. The headliner is the 'air conditioning' headliner and it is in great condition (I think it has a small puncture hole of some sort in the back but it is GOOD!) The carpets could be replaced but they are not in bad shape. There are some issues but it would be a great fixer up. It does run but needs an exhaust. The trunk has a red liner in it right now, so that is all that is showing in the pictures. The hinges were messed up at one time and one of the previous owners attempted to turn it into a suicidal trunk but it was never finished. We did have all working lights until after this (hopefully I can say) passed winter, our business neighbor's plow driver plowed a ton of snow behind it causing all but 2 of the back taillights to get broken. It is a great rat rod project or would make a cool daily driver. We baught it at the Rebel Run Rod & Custom Nationals show in 2012 and drove it around until the beginning of last fall. We put it up to do some work on it over the winter but we just have too many projects going on right now and don't have the time to put the work into it. I was going to use this as a parts car for my 2-door but it was just too nice of a car to destroy like that. (And we have a 6-year-old that is probably going to be really mad at us when this car sells). PLEASE COME LOOK AT THIS VEHICLE BEFORE YOU BID. I understand that some of you checking out this auction are far away and may be having it shipped to you but this car is being sold AS IS and it is a fixer uper! The last time we sold a truck on here, the guy never came and checked it out and caused me many tears over a truck that I LOVED! That I would NOT have parted with except we were getting a new building and needed money to do so. Because of this, I can not stress enough AS IS so PLEASE come check it out before you place a bid. IT DOES NEED WORK AND IT HAS SOME ISSUES but it is WORTH the investment!! The basic book of this car (in a #5 condition - which means something along the lines of it runs and that is it...it is probably closer to a #4...maybe even a #3 with the condition it is in, but will have to be the buyer's own judgement) is $4200 and that is not including the a/c extra % or any of the other %'s increasing the value. We just left our book with someone right now but there are (I believe) 2 - 15% more qualifiers for this car that the car has. If you have any questions, please just let us know. I know there are several more pictures we could have taken, we just forgot. If I can add more in the near future, I will try and do so but at this point, our body shop is running full speed ahead (income tax time always gets like that) and I don't know if I will have the time, but I will try. Payment/pickup is expected within a week of the end of this listing. If you can't make it, just let us know before hand so we can make arrangements. The vehicle can be picked up upon a clear payment...or bring cash with you when you come. We can accept Visa/MasterCard but it is a 10% charge to do so. We prefer cash, certified check or money order, or PayPal. If I have forgotten something, please let me know. I am only human. AND AGAIN IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS PLEASE CONTACT US FIRST!! If you would like to call us, please call or text 419-296-7937 I have a problem with my microphone and have had several complaints from people on the phone not being able to hear me so if you would like to actually speak to someone, you may want to try our land line at 567-712-2285 (you can not text this number...it's a 'house phone'). Thanks for checking out our Impala. Happy Bidding!! |

5 classic trucks and their polarizing modern revivals
Sun, Mar 3 2024EVs are helping eliminate Detroit's gas-guzzling problem. Some revivals of gas-powered classics are getting the EV treatment. But not every revived model looks exactly like its original counterpart. We're in a new era of hulking Detroit metal, and you can thank EVs. Americans can't get enough of their big, beefy trucks and SUVs. But for many years, some of the biggest gas guzzlers fell out of fashion as gas prices rose and emissions regulations tightened. But in the past few years, some of the most iconic American truck nameplates have been brought back to life with electric motors, like the GMC Hummer. In other cases, as with the Ford Bronco, improvements in engine technology and more interest in rugged adventure vehicles made a gas-powered revival possible. Even some revivals that started as gas-powered, like the Chevy Blazer and the Jeep Wagoneer, are now getting electrified spinoffs. (Even if they don't always look quite as sleek as their original inspiration.) Here are side-by-sides of five classic American trucks and their modern counterparts. The Jeep Wagoneer 1975 Jeep Wagoneer and 2024 Electric Jeep Wagoneer SStellantis After a long wait, Jeep released its revival of the classic Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer in 2020. Starting later this year, an electric version of the luxury Jeep SUV will join the Wagoneer lineup. The Chevrolet Blazer A 1973 Chevrolet Blazer and a 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EVGetty Images, General Motors The Chevrolet Blazer was first rebooted in 2019 as a sporty family SUV. The modern Blazer shares zero resemblance to its boxy, off-roading older sibling, but it has still managed to become one of Chevy's more popular SUVs in recent years. The Blazer EV came later, and was one of the first models GM built on its new Ultium battery platform. The Hummer A Hummer H2 and the 2023 Hummer EV pickup truckGetty Images, General Motors Once the poster child for Detroit's big, bad gas guzzlers, the Hummer got new life as an electric pickup truck in 2021. The Ford Bronco A 1971 Ford Bronco and a 2022 Ford BroncoFord Motor Co. After a rouge group of engineers and designers inside Ford spent years trying to breathe life back into the Blue Oval's boxy off-roader, the Ford Bronco was finally resurrected in 2020 amid a rise in popularity for rugged adventure vehicles.

Top horsepower-per-dollar cars in 2017
Tue, Feb 17 2015Bang for the buck. That quasi-scientific statistic is bandied about by motor heads everywhere from classrooms to barrooms, though the truth of the matter is that it's exceedingly complex to measure. A fair performance-per-dollar index would include something like cross-referencing MSRP (Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price) with point-to-point times on a track or driving route, which is obviously hard to do comprehensively. But, for the sheer joy of talking about cars and playing with a big spreadsheet, there's always the horsepower-per-dollar index, which is more straightforward, albeit hilariously flawed. There are vagaries even with this simple formula, of course: MSRP for vehicles can change at a moment's notice, to say nothing of the bottom-line shifting that happens with local deals or showroom negotiation. For this list we're running with the straight MSRP wherever possible, and as recently reported as we can get it. All the vehicles on this list are 2017 models, and all trims are reported where the lowest price and differing power levels intersect. Some choices were made for personal preference and some for sanity, avoiding things like all 48 trim levels of the Ford Transit, all with the same horsepower). If this list were a simple top ten, or even a top fifty, you'd be bored to tears with all the red, white and blue that is represented. Following perfectly with conventional wisdom, American cars really do lead the world where hp/$ is concerned. So, for the sake of variety (and the sheer joy of seeing a minivan 'win' one round of this thing) I've sorted out some top five and bottom five lists for broad power categories. Let's dive in. Less Than 100 Horsepower Okay, okay, this is hardly a category we'll grant you. But we've often tried to click off all the sub-100-hp cars on sale in the US, and making this list gave us an excuse. It also illustrates that none of these smallish vehicles bring cheap horsepower to the table - for that you'll need a motorcycle. The segment-leading Chevy Spark (above) asks just over $139 for each hp, and that Smart Fortwo Electric Drive has hp on sale for about the same price as its very distant family cousin, the Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG (insert your favorite Smart joke here... we know you want to).
Consumer Reports no longer recommends Honda Civic
Mon, Oct 24 2016Consumer Reports annual Car Reliability Survey is out, and yes, there are some big surprises. First and foremost? The venerable publication no longer recommends the Honda Civic. In fact, aside from the walking-dead CR-Z and limited-release Clarity fuel-cell car, the Civic is the only Honda to miss out on CR's prestigious nod. At the opposite end there's a surprise as well – Toyota and Lexus remain the most reliable brands on the market, but Buick cracked the top three. That's up from seventh last year, and the first time for an American brand to stand on the Consumer Reports podium. Mazda's entire lineup earned Recommended checks as well. Consumer Reports dinged the Civic for its "infuriating" touch-screen radio, lack of driver lumbar adjustability, the limited selection of cars on dealer lots fitted with Honda's popular Sensing system, and the company's decision to offer LaneWatch instead of a full-tilt blind-spot monitoring system. Its score? A lowly 58. The Civic isn't the only surprise drop from CR's Recommended ranks. The Audi A3, Ford F-150, Subaru WRX/STI, and Volkswagen Jetta, GTI, and Passat all lost the Consumer Reports' checkmark. On the flipside, a number of popular vehicles graduated to the Recommended ranks, including the BMW X5, Chevrolet Camaro, Corvette, and Cruze, Hyundai Santa Fe, Porsche Macan, and Tesla Model S. Perhaps the biggest surprise is the hilariously recall-prone Ford Escape getting a Recommended check – considering the popularity of Ford's small crossover, this is likely a coup for the brand, as it puts the Escape on a level playing field with the Recommended Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, and Nissan Rogue. While Ford is probably happy to see CR promote the Escape, the list wasn't as kind for every brand. For example, of the entire Fiat Chrysler Automobiles catalog, the ancient Chrysler 300 was the only car to score a check – there wasn't a single Dodge, Fiat, Jeep, Maserati, or Ram on the list. That hurts. FCA isn't alone at the low end, either. GMC, Jaguar Land Rover, Mini, and Mitsubishi don't have a vehicle on CR's list between them, while brands like Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, Nissan, Lincoln, Infiniti, and Cadillac only have a few models each.
