1965 Chevy Impala SS Convertible

My name is Kurt Bonner and thanks for giving the auction of my 1965 Chevrolet Impala SS your consideration.  I have, over the past several years offered just a few nice classics here on eBay for sale.  I have done so with great success.  For one, I have sold every single one while listed, either via auction or at my hometown dealership in Whitehall Michigan, during its auction process.  Secondly and most importantly, I have received a consistent 100% satisfaction score from my customers here on eBay, as is evident by my feedback score of 100%.  If nothing else, that lets you know my description tells it like it is.   This in and of itself, can be of utmost importance when purchasing anything, but more so when considering the purchase of a classic vehicle such as this Impala SS Convertible.  If after completing the description, you have questions, please feel free to contact me directly at a reasonable hour at 231 578-2887.  I will be happy to answer your questions.

 As I mention above, I do own a small hometown style dealership in Whitehall Michigan.  The car was acquired from a terrifically hospitable husband and wife locally.  They owned the car for more than 25 years.  They simply didn’t drive it much.  Less than 150 miles in the last 10 years.  A number verified  by receipts I have.  The title I hold is actually dated May 1989, when the lien was paid and the new title was issued.    The car is, as stated, a 1965 Impala SS convertible.   That is a 283 V8 with an Automatic transmission.   The mileage is also stated to me as actual at 68787 has been verified by the plethora of receipts if have for the car.

As you might expect, around 1990 the car was restored.  It really was given a face lift that continued as it was driven over the next 4 or so years.  It was repainted in it’s original color, and received new trim, chrome and rubber as needed.  Four years following that the facelift, the Impala received a new NOS interior.  All of the aforementioned items remain on the car now and it still remains in beautiful condition.  The body and underside of the car are in great condition.   There is one chip in the paint on the top of the rear quarter panel.  For 25 years old paint, the car looks terrific.   I have left the car alone and remains in the condition I received the car in.   I have the car stored in my showroom and gets daily comments from local customers.  Mechanically, the car needed a new battery when I received it so one was installed.   All of the maintenance like oil changes, brakes, wheel cylinders, ect…, have been performed with receipts showing the dates for those items.  The tires were new in 2005 and have less than 150 miles on them since.   They are like new condition.  Upon purchasing, the car was driven 30 miles, with the top down to my dealerships showroom.  The car drives great.  Bid knowing you can drive it to your next cruise night without hesitation.  

 Just a few more details.  The convertible top was also replaced in the recent past (with glass rear window) and is controlled with the power button on the dash.  This operates just as it should both up and down.   It comes with a parade boot.  Boot looks good buy shows its age.  All the gauges appear to work as well as the factory in dash vacuum gauge.  Interior and exterior lights all work.  The SS retains the original 283 engine, air cleaner, exhaust manifolds, distributor, wiper washer bottle, owner’s manual, and brochures ect…that came with the car new.  Everything I have received, including the custom car cover, you will receive with your winning bid.  I encourage you to ask questions before the end of the auction.

 I believe it goes without saying, but I better say, the Impala is a 1965.  With that, it is going to have it’s 50th birthday coming up very soon.  Therefore, the sale of this great car is as is.  I can’t offer you a warranty, but will tell you my description is right on.  Questions will be answered accurately and honestly.  If you bid based on that alone, you will not be dissatisfied with your ultimate purchase of this very fine 1965 Chevrolet Impala SS Convertible.    I do have contacts that in some cases can assist in the transportation of this Impala to you however, you, the buyers will ultimately responsible for the shipping cost and arrangements.  I am fair and easy to deal with.   Please have your finances in order and be prepared to submit a $1000.00 deposit, via paypal upon winning the auction with the balance to be paid in full no later than 7 days following the auction conclusion.  Payments preferred are cash in person or bank wire transfer. 

Just a note.  I have this SS for sale locally at my dealership, so it is possible it may sell before the end of this auction.  I will accept offers here at our brick and mortar dealership.  If it sold early, I reserve the right to end the auction before in is completed.  Your offers will also be considered.  Many of these cars sell quickly I have found in completed auctions prior to this one.

Enjoy the auction and Good luck to you.

Kurt

Chevy's 6.6-liter Duramax is pretty much all new

Thu, Sep 29 2016

To say there's a heated battle in heavy-duty pickups is an understatement, with Chevrolet, Ford, and Ram constantly trading blows of increased torque, horsepower, and towing capacity. The latest salvo is the revised, more powerful turbo diesel 6.6-liter Duramax V8 in the 2017 Chevy Silverado. It has 910 pound-feet of torque, an increase of 145, putting it nearly level with the Ford Super Duty. Here's a closer look at where those gains come from. How exactly did Chevrolet add all that torque plus 48 horsepower? The automaker essentially took a fine-tooth comb to the entire engine. Chevy says it changed 90 percent of the V8, and the cumulative effect of those small changes adds up to big increases. As you might guess, the turbocharger is updated. The larger unit features electric actuation of the variable nozzle turbine (VNT), and what Chevy calls a double axle cartridge mechanism that separates the VNT moving parts from the housing. That helps with heat performance as well, with a claim that the exhaust side of the turbo can run continuously up to 1,436 degrees Fahrenheit. Helping that cause are six exhaust gaskets made of Inconel - an nickel alloy that contains chromium and iron – and upgraded stainless steel for the exhaust manifold. Despite having the same cast iron cylinder block, albeit with some minor enhancements, the engine has new cylinder heads, pistons, piston pins, connecting rods, and crankshaft, which have all been upgraded to handle 20 percent higher cylinder pressures. Alongside the increase in pressure, Chevrolet also increased the cylinder head's structure with a honeycomb design. The pattern features high-strength aluminum with dual layer water jackets that not only improve strength, but also optimize water flow for better cooling. For 2017, the cylinder head also benefits from integrated plenum that aids the engine in getting more air under heavy loads. The cylinder head isn't the only component to get a minor update, as the pistons have a larger diameter pin for improved oil flow. The same detailed improvements has been bestowed to the humble connecting rods (second in our hearts only to the inanimate carbon rod). The new design has the bolts oriented roughly 45-degrees to the rod instead of parallel. The angle split design, as it's called allows for easier passage through the cylinder.

This is your 2014 Chevrolet SS

Sat, 16 Feb 2013

Think you've waited long enough for this? If so, then you'll want to savor the high-res photos we've so far been given of the 2014 Chevrolet SS, the first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan from The Bowtie in 17 years.
We all know its our version of the brand new VF-model Holden Commodore, but what's under the hood that earns the appellation "performance?" A 6.2-liter LS3 V8 engine producing 415 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque. That's 35 hp and lb-ft less than the same engine is expected to produce in the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette. Chevrolet says the sedan will get from 0-to-60 miles per hour "in about five seconds."
Shifting comes courtesy of a six-speed automatic with paddles on the steering wheel, while stopping arrive via four-piston Brembo calipers up front, a single sliding piston in back. The forged aluminum wheels are 19-inchers all around, each set supporting right around 50 percent of the sedan's weight, and the aluminum hood and trunk are meant to keep the center of gravity low.
