1964 Chevrolet Impala Ss 409/425 Hp 2x4 4 Speed on 2040-cars
Hartsville, South Carolina, United States

1964 Chevy Impala SS 409/425 HP 2x4 4 Speed. Newly restored. First-rate bodywork gives it a factory fresh look, and all the panels are crisp, detailed, and wave-free. Panel gaps are excellent throughout, and the build quality is evident even in the photos The paint is two-stage urethane and the finish is miles deep, a pure white with a brilliant shine that should last for decades given the right care. The '50s were over, and the cars of the early '60s were restrained in their use of chrome and trim. The grille is simple, framing quad headlights. The SS models received that cool engine-turned strip of trim running the length of the body. Correct new Impala SS badges are on the rear quarters, and the front fenders proudly wear '409' emblems, perhaps as a warning. In the early days of the horsepower wars, the dual-quad 409 was king. There was simply nothing else on the road that could touch its 425 horsepower, and in the Impala SS coupe, it was powerful enough to yank buildings off their foundations. Fresh and exceptionally well detailed, the engine bay in this car has "show winner" written all over it. From the chrome air cleaner with twin snorkels, to the Chevy Orange paint that's as good as the paint on my daily driver, to the unique 409 valve covers, it is sanitary and brilliantly executed. Finishes on all the ancillary components are correct, and the exhaust headers are some of the best. The hoses wear correct GM markings and wear tower hose clamps, the radiator is freshly restored, and even the hood pad is brand new. Honestly, until you've driven a dual quad 409, you haven't lived. The only transmission you want with your 409 is a 4-speed top off with a Hurst shifter, which feels like industrial machinery it's so precise and sturdy. The chassis has been completely restored, with a solid X-type frame and freshly rebuilt components present throughout. A new factory dual exhaust system. New shocks, freshly installed disc brake on the front, power steering and tilt steering make it a pleasure to drive, and it truly does cruise effortlessly at highly illegal speeds. Wheels are 18-inch Ridler wheels. A full set of the original SS wheel covers and the front drum brakes will be included with the purchase of the 64. The interior is simply beautiful, dressed in red to contrast the exterior. Pure '60s elegance all the way, with a sporty vibe, that was the Impala SS. The red buckets are in great condition as well as all of the door panels which house the electric window switches. The red carpets are also new with the correct weave and nap. A 7000 RPM 409 tachometer is installed in its own pod atop the steering column, which is about the coolest factory gauge installation you'll find. Stretching across the driver's side of the instrument panel, the restored speedometer shows crisp numbers and a crystal clear lens. Down low, another engine-turned panel houses the switch gear and the original AM radio, and matches the center console. All the correct SS badging is included, with emblems on the console and door panels.. In back, the spatter finish on the trunk floors and walls is correct, and it is protected by new mats. A matching full-sized spare and complete jack assembly finish the nicely appointed trunk. There's no question that these Impalas are surging forward in the market, and the top of the heap will always be the SS 409. With a hugely expensive, fresh restoration, this one is ready to show and enjoy and only you'll know what a bargain you got when you bought it. Lovely to look at and thrilling to drive, there's nothing else that drives like a 409, and even the handsome Impala sheet metal can't hide its performance car DNA. Compare this one to some lesser examples, and you'll see that this is a whole heck of a lot of car for not a lot of money. On May-07-14 at 07:16:16 PDT, seller added the following information:

Veyron and C7 Corvette join cast of Transformers 4
Wed, 29 May 2013Like the Fast & Furious franchise, the Michael Bay-directed series of Transformers movies has become known as much for its bad acting as its impressive lineup of cars. As filming just started for Transformers 4, Bay's website has confirmed two new cars for the next installment as well as a makeover for everyone's favorite tractor trailer hero, Optimus Prime.
Joining the cast of T4 are a "race-inspired" Chevrolet Corvette Stingray and a Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse. While Bay's website did not supply names for either car, Bugatti is reporting on its Facebook page that the Veyron will join the Autobots. Speaking of the good guys, top Autobot Optimus Prime is getting an all-new body based on a Western Star with a gaudy appearance that was seemingly inspired by Trick My Truck - right down to the six smoke stacks and side pipes!
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.

2016 Chevy Volt will not need premium gas
Wed, Oct 29 2014Buried in the new technical details of the 2016 Chevy Volt released yesterday was a throwaway line about a small but important change that's due to the new 1.5-liter, four-cylinder engine. The first-gen Volt has always required premium gas but the new powerplant will be happy burning plain old regular. The Volt's chief engineer, Andrew Farah, told AutoblogGreen that the change was due to today's Volt owners explaining they were not happy paying for top-shelf petroleum. "The ability to use regular unleaded was based directly on customer feedback," he said. "Since the range extender is an all-new engine, it was optimized to use regular unleaded at the outset. Using regular fuel will not have effect on vehicle acceleration or other performance factors." As Larry Nitz, GM's executive director of vehicle electrification, told AutoblogGreen yesterday, the new engine is more powerful and quieter than the outgoing 1.4-liter engine that's used in the current Volt. Fuel economy and EV range specs for the next-gen Volt are not expected until the full car is revealed at the Detroit Auto Show in January.
