Up for NO RESERVE auction is an all original 1965 Chevrolet Impala Super Sport that has been sitting in a barn for the last 33 years with the same owner. This original Super Sport has been garaged kept this entire time and was last registered and on the road in 1980 (see NYS inspection sticker in windshield) This car has Factory Air, Power Steering, and Power Brakes. Also the original 12-bolt rear end is STILL in tact. I did get this car to run off the fuel I poured in the carburetor to see if she would fire. It did, pretty quickly but will definitely need a tune up (also needs a battery). Anticipate winching or flat bed this car on a trailer. It will run but not long enough to get it trailered. Also when I was moving it around the strap broke the petcock on the lower radiator. It will need to have a new pet cock brazed in to hold antifreeze. I have a window sticker, vehicle guarantee, and original owners manual. This car was sold new at Ithaca Motor Company in Ithaca NY. I have the transferable registration (title) to go along with the sale. Super Sport Impalas with factory air are hard to come by. The original 327 engine, automatic transmission and 12-bolt rear end appear to be original to the car.
The previous owner told me one of the previous owners passengers accidentally pushed the car into reverse while it was driving. I'm not sure what this did to the shifter or the transmission but it is currently in neutral. As you can see in the photos it is a restoration project. The car is totally complete minus the original air cleaner and ONE hubcap (I HAVE THREE OF FOUR). The interior is all there and in very very good shape. The seats have original plastic covers which looks like they preserved the original vinyl very good. The original upholstery appears to be rip/tear free. The headliner is also excellent just needs a good cleaning. The dash pad is not cracked at all and surprisingly the steering wheel isn't either! The dash is not cut and is all original. All of the original glass is still in the car, front windshield has a scratch from wiper. The center console is in good shape.
Chrome is OK will need to be redone for show quality. Stainless is in good shape. The car has some frame rust as you can see in the picture. The rockers will need work, quarters will need rust repair, as well as the fenders and doors. Floors were patched in the front (not great) The pictures write the script. Doors shut perfect with good body gaps. Included are tons of parts. Basically an entire interior (bucket seats, another SS center console, rear seat, sail panels, door panels, etc...), another rear bumper with brackets, front fender and inner fender (some good parts), good trunk lid and LH/RH extensions with taillights, an extra complete door, and an extra dash.
As I mention, this car is a project and will need to be winched. It will run but I didn't try to get it to drive. Please bid with confidence and with intentions to follow through.

The USPS needs 180,000 new delivery vehicles, automakers gearing up to bid
Wed, Feb 18 2015Winning the New York City Taxi of Tomorrow tender was a huge prize for Nissan, even though the company is still working through the process of claiming its prize. The United States Postal Service has begun the process to take bids for a new delivery vehicle to replace the all-too-familiar Grumman Long Life Vehicle, and that will be a much larger plum for the automaker who wins it, perhaps worth more than six billion dollars. The Grumman LLV is an aluminum body covering a Chevrolet S-10 pickup chassis and General Motors' Iron Duke four-cylinder engine. The USPS bought them from 1987 to 1994, and the 163,000 of them still in service are a monumental drain on postal resources: they get roughly ten miles to the gallon instead of the quoted 16 mpg, drink up more than $530 million in fuel each year, and their constant repair needs like the balky sliding door and leaky windshields have led the service to increase the annual maintenance budget from $100 million to $500 million. A seat belt is about as modern as it gets for safety technology, and the USPS says that assuming things stay the same, it can't afford to run them beyond 2017. Last year it put out two triage requests for proposals seeking 10,000 new chassis and drivetrains for the Grumman and 10,000 new vehicles. The LLV is also too small for the modern mail system in which package delivery is growing and letter delivery is declining. The service says it doesn't have a fixed idea of the ideal "next-generation delivery vehicles," but it listed a number of requirements in its initial request and is open to any proposal. Carriers have some suggestions, though, saying they want better cupholders, sun visors that they can stuff letters behind, a driver's compartment free of slits that can swallow mail, and a backup camera. The request for information sent to automakers pegs the tender at 180,000 vehicles that would cost between $25,000 and $35,000 apiece, and it will hold a conference on February 18 to answer questions about the contract. GM is the only domestic maker to avow an interest, while Ford and Fiat-Chrysler have remained cagey. Yet with a possible $6.3 billion up for grabs and some new vans for sale that would be advertised on every block in the country, we have a feeling everyone will be listening closely come February 18. We also have a feeling the LeMons series is going to be flooded with Grummans come 2017. News Source: Wall Street Journal, Automotive News - sub.
Corvette Stolen In Detroit Returned To Owner After 33 Years
Wed, Jun 25 2014A Detroit man had his stolen Corvette returned 33 years after it disappeared while parked on one of Detroit's main drags, according to ABC 7. The last time George Talley saw his 1979 Corvette was on a July day in 1981, when it disappeared from its parking spot on Jefferson Avenue in Detroit. He had given up hope of ever seeing his car again, until a phone call from AAA brought his sporty ride home. Authorities had come across a Corvette with a questionable VIN in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. When they ran the number Talley's stolen car report came up. The car is still in pretty good shape and only has 47,000 miles on the odometer. Talley wasn't sure how he could get the car back home, but General Motors stepped in and agreed to cover the cost of bringing the 'Vette home. Talley has always had a passion for Detroit-made muscle cars. "I've always liked Corvettes. It was attractive. The ladies like 'em," Talley told ABC 7.
GM trucks get hybrid versions, but you'll probably never see one
Thu, Feb 25 2016A few years ago, General Motors sold hybrid versions of its Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups. They weren't very good, using GM's old two-mode hybrid system that resulted in only negligible fuel economy gains. But GM's trying again, launching eAssist models of the 2016 Silverado and Sierra that are said to offer 2-mpg improvements in city, highway, and combined fuel economy ratings. Problem is, you probably won't be able to get one. Only 700 eAssist trucks will be made for the 2016 model year – 500 Silverados and 200 Sierras. When you consider that GM moved 824,683 examples of its light-duty pickups in 2015, this small run represents 0.08-percent of all Silverado/Sierra production, and GM says it "will monitor the market closely ... and adjust as appropriate moving forward." But that's not the only limitation. The eAssist trucks will only be sold through California dealers. For the Silverado, eAssist can only be optioned on the 1500 Crew Cab 1LT 2WD model, and for the Sierra, the fuel-saving technology is solely available on the 1500 SLT Crew Cab 2WD model with the SLT Premium Plus package. Granted, in terms of the Sierra, that means you get niceties like LED headlights and taillights, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Bose premium audio, heated seats and steering wheel, lane keep assist, and more. In the trucks, eAssist combines a small electric motor and 0.45-kWh battery pack with the pickups' 5.3-liter V8. GM estimates total output of 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque – no more horsepower than the non-eAssist trucks, but three more pound-feet of torque. GM says the eAssist trucks can tow up to 9,400 pounds, and the battery only adds 100 pounds to the trucks' weight. The electric motor provides 13 hp and 44 lb-ft of torque for a boost of acceleration off the line, or during passing. It also allows the engine to run in four-cylinder mode for longer periods of time. eAssist uses regenerative braking to help power onboard electrical systems, and adds start/stop to the powertrain. Finally, the so-equipped trucks have a six-percent improvement in aerodynamics, thanks to a soft tonneau cover and active grille shutters in the front fascia. Great news is, the eAssist option is relatively inexpensive, only costing $500. But good luck getting your hands on one.
