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!!

Do you guys like trucks?

Wed, Jan 17 2018

Do you guys like trucks? If the answer is yes, boy do we have the show for you! The 2018 North American International Auto Show is lousy with 'em. Yeah, we saw the new Ram 1500, Chevy Silverado and Ford Ranger, but that's just scratching the surface. There are big trucks, little trucks, clean trucks, dirty trucks, old trucks, new trucks, red trucks, blue trucks. It's like a Dr. Seuss book. Anyway, we made a little video for you truck nuts (see what I did there?). Check it out above, and if you're looking for more serious coverage of the Detroit Auto Show, we've got it, along with a ton of images and other videos from the show floor. Enjoy!

GM wants to have 10 plug-in models in China in five years

Sun, Apr 24 2016

Last we checked, General Motors was selling all of three plug-in vehicle models in its home country of the US, and is prepared to make the Chevrolet Bolt EV available on these shores later this year. So it's notable that the automaker is hatching plans to have at least 10 plug-in variants for sale in China within the next five years, according to Hybrid Cars. Which plug-ins are coming remains a mystery. GM started selling a hybrid version of the Buick LaCrosse in China this month. The strategy makes sense, as China is now the world's largest car market, and accounts for about a third of GM's annual revenue. The automaker, which operates in China under the SAIC-GM and SAIC-GM-Wuling joint ventures, sells cars there under the Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac, and Boujun badges, and has been doing so for the better part of two decades. Most recently, GM started selling a hybrid version of the Buick LaCrosse in China this month. What we do know is that GM is building its Cadillac CT6 Plug-in Hybrid in China, with distribution to be split between China and the US. That model, which is scheduled to start sales by the end of the year, is being built overseas because of a combination of Chinese government support for new-energy vehicle technology through incentives and the fact that battery-pack maker LG Chem makes most of its cells in nearby South Korea. The plug-ins are part of a broader plan by General Motors to either introduce or substantially tweak about 60 models by the end of the decade. With such new models, GM looks to boost unit sales by as much as five percent a year for the next few years. As for the other nine plug-in models slated for China by 2021, the company is mum. GM spokesman Dan Flores declined to comment to AutoblogGreen.

GM announces net 220 job increase as Trump visits Michigan

Wed, Mar 15 2017

GM announced today that about 900 jobs would be added (or, importantly, retained) ahead of President Trump's arrival in Michigan, where he is expected to discuss his plan to roll back fuel economy standards. The timing of the announcement is almost certainly not coincidental, as appending it to a Trump visit gives it a higher profile and dovetails with the President's jobs agenda. It's less likely the decision itself was made for those reasons, but the free PR boost is a nice bonus. As for those 900 jobs themselves, they aren't all new jobs. The only net gain is approximately 220 jobs at the Romulus Powertrain Plant, which produces the 10-speed automatic transmission that's proliferating through the company's lineup. The 180 jobs at Flint Assembly and 500 jobs at Lansing Delta Township are retained jobs – that is to say, spots the company found for workers who would otherwise have been laid off. By the way, the Flint jobs will help with production of heavy-duty pickups, and the Lansing jobs are to produce the Chevrolet Traverse and Buick Enclave. Finding jobs for manufacturing workers in the auto sector, whether new or retained, is admirable. No matter how GM couches it, the company has created or retained a total of 7,000 jobs this year, and its total reinvestment in US production is around $1 billion. But these decisions are business ones, not political ones Â– timing the announcements to make them seem inspired by economic policy, or the political situation, is simply smart PR.
