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

Check out the official 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition commercial

Sat, 16 Mar 2013


The Poncho is dead. Long live the Poncho. Like certain other reoccurring personal maladies, the aftermarket community simply can't let the Trans Am go without another flare up. The guys at Trans Am Depot have worked up a quick commercial for their newest creation: The 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition, and it watches pretty much like you'd expect it to. The footage is comprised of just about every TA male fantasy you can conceive of, from Daisy Dukes and white tank tops to tramp stamps, bikinis and ice cream cones. There simply aren't words for what you'll see below.
Of course, we like our T-Tops as much as the next guy. If you like what you see in the videos, you can pick up your very own TA by heading over to the Trans Am Depot site. The guys even have Chevrolet Camaro-based versions of the Pontiac GTO if the '77 TA treatment is too much for your tastes. Enjoy, but don't say we didn't warn you.

Autotrader picks best cars for 2015's college grads

Sun, May 31 2015

Summer is here and the school season is winding to a close. That means millions of students will be graduating college and (hopefully) entering the workforce. For many, that will mean buying a new car suited to the new stage in life into which they will now be embarking. That can be a bewildering choice, especially for someone who's never bought a car before. Fortunately, Autotrader has come up with a short list of recommended cars – new and used – which it recommends to the graduating class of 2015. Among the site's top choices are some compelling crossovers and hatchbacks, including the Buick Encore, Chevy Trax, and Jeep Renegade, as well as the Honda Fit, Nissan Versa Note, Mazda3 and Fiat 500. Can't stretch to buying new, or don't see the point? Autotrader has also identified the Toyota Camry, Ford Fusion and even the Lexus IS as smart buys in the certified pre-owned category. "Any time someone goes through a major life change, such as graduating college, they need to determine if their current ride makes sense for their lifestyle, from both a financial and functional perspective," says Autotrader editor Brian Moody. "For example, while that hand-me-down SUV from your parents was nice when you turned 16, you may want to opt for a safer, more fuel-efficient car as you transition into the working world." Autotrader Names 10 Best Cars for Recent College Graduates ATLANTA, May 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- For many, graduating college is a milestone like no other – it represents a new chapter, a proud accomplishment and, fortunately or unfortunately, financial independence. Luckily for graduates who are in the market for a new car to suit their post-college lifestyle, Autotrader's expert editors say now is a great time to make a purchase, as dealerships are flush with affordable models that are fun, fuel-efficient and thoughtfully designed.

Electric Cadillac Lyriq, Chevy Bolt EUV and more GM electric cars are on the way

Wed, Mar 4 2020

GM’s murky and somewhat secretive electric car plan is falling into place, as the company dumped a massive amount of information about whatÂ’s in the pipeline at an event at its Warren, Michigan campus today. New EVs are going to be popping up across the GM brand lineup, with new entries from Chevrolet, Cadillac, GMC and Buick in progress. We also learned some big news about GMÂ’s new Ultium battery tech today, but check out this story for all of those nitty-gritty details. The electric vehicle onslaught will begin with the Cadillac Lyriq, an electric SUV thatÂ’s already been teased out. Naming it the Lyriq is the news today. No explanation for the name was provided, so weÂ’ll have to wait for April to learn more. GM didnÂ’t specifically say if the Lyriq would be launched at the NY Auto Show, but that show (assuming coronavirus doesnÂ’t cancel it) will begin on April 8 this year. Next up in the order of events is the GMC Hummer electric truck that we know will be launching on May 20. This truck will use GMÂ’s modular Ultium battery technology. However, the wait to buy a GMC Hummer will be a long one, as the truck isnÂ’t going to dive into production until fall 2021 at GMÂ’s Detroit-Hamtramck plant. GM revealed that its new modular Ultium batteries can be configured anywhere from a 50 kWh pack to a 200 kWh pack depending on the application. Range is estimated to be about 400 miles on the upper end with the largest battery pack, and GM continues to boast about a 0-60 mph acceleration time of three seconds. Charging estimates for the Ultium battery-equipped Hummer EV were also provided. GM says its truck platform will have 800-volt battery packs and be capable of 350 kW fast-charging. Time estimates werenÂ’t given, but those numbers suggest the truck will be a rapid charger. The Hummer truck on hand, which was the same that previously starred in GMC's Super Bowl spot, showed off removable roof panels that store in the frunk, as well as what appeared to be a version of GMC's Multi-Pro tailgate. It also featured sail panels on the sides, similar to those in front of the bed of the Chevy Avalanche. In addition to the Hummer, expect to see a couple Chevys launching. GM says the refreshed Bolt EV will be launched “in late 2020” with a refreshed interior and what appear to be thicker front seats.
