Condition: Used: A vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections. ...

Parents have had this vehicle for over ten years, and what was once a project car is now too much to do for them now. Unfortunately, I live too far to help with the restoration and for them it's time to let it go.

Odometer says 10469. But do not know if that is 110469 or 210469. I'll have to review the clear title again to confirm.

Have a 1964 Impala Hardtop Coupe, 2-door. It has a crate motor 327, so it is not the original I have been told. Had the car looked over briefly and was told that the dipstick on original Chevy engines in that era were on the driver's side, so I can only assume it is a crate motor. We were unable to find block ID numbers on it, but did find the firing order cast in the intake. I don't know much about all the identifying features of cars from that era (or any era), so doing my best to supply as much info and pics as I can.

Transmission is a 2-speed automatic (I say 2 because only D-L on steering column indicator). Is it a Powerglide, don't know. Didn't get under the car to check it out, and again, living so far away, not able to do much with checking that out. My understanding is that they were pretty populat during that time, so it's a toss up whether it has one or not. Unfortunately, can't really check on that right now and the folks sure wouldn't be able to determine that.

Interior appears to have been re-upolstered when the car was purchased. Both the front and back seats were covered in a vinyl covering. I removed the front seat covers, and left the back on, so that you could see the product. If you want to put that back on, it's in the ample trunk. Seats look good, and underneath appears to be the original springs. Don't have a lot of history on the car, but think Dad bought it for the nostalgic value, he had a '64 convertible in a similar color in his heyday. And looks like the replacement carpet was just laid on top of the original, as there is another layer of carpet underneath.

Ignition and locks were replaced with a newer set, as well as the lock to the trunk and glovebox (which does not latch). It will need some electrical work as I could not get all the interior lights to come on when opening the doors (or to stay on). No A/C, and the heater core was bypassed. I plugged it back in and ran the car and got some leaking, so bypassing it again. I did not check under the carpet to see if there was any rust damage.

Exterior color is not original. Supposed to be Ermine White, but the repainted color caught Dad's eyes. It will need another coat, some holidays visible, but the car appears pretty straight given its age. I unfortunately did not get any pics from under the car, but I did see some bubbling on the driver's side front and rear panels, pics below, indicating some small rust areas. Again, the body is pretty straight overall. The molding was removed prior to buying the vehicle and given to us loosely. It's in bad shape and missing the clips/retaining nuts. The old trim will be included with the auction purchase. There is also some trim work missing around the headlights, both the light itself and on the front quarter panels around the front grill. The passenger side mirror and gasket (?) are also missing.

Appears the vehicle was in an accident and the front passenger panel was replaced, hence the missing front trim work and tweaked bumper. I also noticed that the passenger fender well was damaged some, but still installed.

Mechanically, it's almost 50 years old. But it runs. Front brake hardware was replaced this year with over-the-counter parts from local auto parts store. Some parts ordered online, as they are harder to come by. Car runs a little rough, but running on tank gas (fuel gauge off, reads full with 2 gallons). Drive it around the shop to keep the juices flowing, and it will need some work. Non-original carburetor part of crate motor's lifeline. But it does run, shift, brake. Car does not have current tags or inspection sticker. Windshield motor works, but not pumping water/fluid. The wipers move in full range, but cannot get motor to prime. Wheels are original type with decorative ring. Tires are so-so, but not sure on how old they are, but guess they are the same ones purchased over ten years ago.

All the glass is in good shape. There is some old tint on the rear windows that will have to be removed for full restoration. Of course, I did not get enough pictures to show every detail of the car. Sure someone will want some additional photos, but unfortunately, won't be able to get them until later this summer when I go back to visit. If there are several interested in purchasing, can make arrangements to have a day to show the car in the Arlington, Texas area. It will take a little scheduling on my part as I do not work a regular job, so time off is sometimes difficult.

The kicker: pay the Buy-It-Now price and we'll order all the side molding trim work for this vehicle (some 14 pieces) of reproduction quality and the retaining hardware. We'll also order a pair of front fender emblems (V-flagged for 327), the "Impala" letters (2 sets for rear panels), and a pair of Impala logos for the rear panels, all for the 1964 Impalas. The Buy-It-Now price will also include a reproduction heater core. I really don't want to get under that and replace it. I promise that these parts will be from reputable companies and new reproduction replacement parts.

But feel free to ask any questions, I'll do my best to answer. Of course, there is no warranty or guarantees with this vehicle and new owners will be responsible for taxes, registration, and any fees outside of eBay. Thanks for looking.

MotorWeek turns back the clock with the 1994 Mustang and Camaro

Thu, Jan 14 2016

The Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro have battled it out for pony car supremacy for as long as most of us can remember, and the latest examples of both coupes continue to offer buyers impressive performance for their price. MotorWeek's Retro Review series remembers a classic battle in that fight in a video that pits the 1994 Mustang GT against the Camaro Z28 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. MotorWeek smokes the tires on both of these coupes at the speedway and shows off how they handle on track. Both vehicles come away with their own advantages in the challenge. The red Mustang packs Ford's 5.0-liter V8 with 215 horsepower and a five-speed manual gearbox. The MotorWeek crew praises the vehicle's stability at high speed and the ease of driving it around the track. The Camaro wins on power with a 275-hp 5.7-liter V8, and the show lauds the Chevy's six-speed manual. Check out the video to relive one entertaining skirmish in the ongoing pony car war.

Since 2010, Chevy Volt has outsold Nissan Leaf by just two units

Tue, Mar 3 2015

The first two plug-in vehicles from major automakers in the US were the Chevy Volt and the Nissan Leaf. Ever since they went on sale to much fanfare in late 2010, we've been tracking the monthly sales with great interest (and, of course, other green vehicle sales as well). After a big initial lead by the Volt – the Volt outsold the Leaf 23,461 to 9,819 in 2012 Â– the Leaf has been chugging along and outsold the Volt every month since November 2013. We knew that the cumulative totals would soon tip in favor of the Leaf, but for at least one more month, the Volt is going to be able to say its the most popular plug-in vehicle in the US. Overall, for all officially reported sales of the Leaf and the Volt, things are almost exactly tied. Since the vehicles went on sale in the end of 2010 until the end of February 2015, the Volt has sold 74,592 units and the Leaf has sold ... drumroll please ... 74,590 units. For February, Leaf sales totaled 1,198 units, a 17-percent drop from the 1,425 Leafs sold last February. Brendan Jones, Nissan's director of Electric Vehicle Sales and Infrastructure, said in a statement that, "Tough winter weather in several key markets held EV sales back in February. As we head into spring, we look forward to seeing more dealership traffic so shoppers can experience firsthand the benefits of the all-electric Nissan Leaf." Of course, it was cold in the US last February, too, but we're sure that the nasty weather did indeed play a role last month. Things were even worse for the Chevy Volt, which dropped to just 693 copies sold, down 47 percent from the 1,210 sold last year. That's just barely enough for Chevy to keep talking about its plug-in sales leadership, but we expect the message to change once the March numbers come out next month. Related Video:

Chevy Volt sales drop in June, Nissan Leaf inches upwards

Tue, Jul 1 2014

Different month, same story. That's the gist of the monthly US sales numbers from the Chevy Volt and the Nissan Leaf. These were the first two mass-market plug-in vehicles to go on sale in the US and we've been comparing their sales numbers for what seems like ages now. So far, the 2014 tale of the tape shows the all-electric once again trumping the plug-in hybrid. The last time the Volt outsold the Leaf was in October 2013. Chevrolet sold 1,777 Volts in June. That was good enough to be the Volt's best sales month of the year, but it's down 34 percent from the 2,698 units sold in June 2013. In fact, it's on par with the 1,760 Volts sold in June 2012. Given the steady sales, General Motors might need to push up the release of the next-gen Volt to gin up excitement, especially if it also offers some of the things that current Volt drivers say they want improved: more range, a lower price and a fifth seat. GM also said it sold 85 Spark EVs in June, an increase of 215 percent over June 2013 Nissan sold 2,347 Leafs last month. The good news continues for Nissan, which says it sold 2,347 Leafs last month. That's an increase of 5.5 percent over 2013 numbers and makes 2014 the best June ever for Leaf sales. Let's credit Texas. Toby Perry, Nissan's director of EV sales and marketing, said in a statement that, "Since the Texas state incentive went into effect in May, we've seen a big jump in Leaf sales in the Austin, Dallas and Houston markets. Our dealers are telling us that they saw more traffic in their stores, and they had their best Leaf sales performance in the last weekend in June." Even with that increase, Atlanta remains the top Leaf market. Nissan has sold 12,736 Leafs in the US so far this year; Chevy 8,615 Volts. Our detailed monthly sales write-up of green cars in the US, including plug-in vehicles, hybrids and diesel cars, is coming soon. For now, we invite you to discuss these numbers in the Comments.
