If you are looking for a 1965 Impala to take to work on a Friday or go to the corner store with, this car is not for you. However, if you are a discerning individual who appreciates a highly detailed original car with excellent pedigree and ostensibly a "new" 1965, this car is for you.
Let's start with the basics...a real Ralley Red 1965 Impala SS 16667 VIN car with a very early build date.
A fantastic unit with original quarter panels and floor pans. The car retains it's 327/300hp powerplant which was rebuilt about 1500 miles ago. The powerglide transmission and 3.08 Positraction rear end were also extensively overhauled at that time. The 327 fires to life instantly and calms down to a nice, quiet idle almost instantaneously. The powerglide pops right into gear, and the brakes stop straight and true with no pulling or pulsating in the pedal. All wittek type tower clamps are used in the cooling system, along with correct GM marked PN correct radiator hoses. I also noticed the use of original type "ribbed" heater hoses.
Cosmetically, the car is fantastic. The car has one repaint in code RR "Ralley Red". The car is arrow straight and the paint is of the PPG 2 stage variety. I can't find appreciable flaw in the paint. I see no signs of rust repair on the fenders or quarter panels, I used a reverse mirror and a flashlight and could see no evidence of any repairs.
The interior retains all it's fantastic original pieces, sans the carpet, which candidly is just too fresh to be of concurrent vintage of the vehicle. All lights, signals, ect. appear to work as they were designed. The radio, for whatever reason, is inoperable. The engine bay and trunk are both highly detailed as is the underside of the car. Moreover, all factory paint daubs and inspection markings have been faithfully reproduced. The convertible top is power, and is white. The top has excellent fitment and has no visible flaws or evidence of age or wear. The rear window is plastic and is stowed down with a towel in the fold of the top, to mitigate any wear in the rear window. Good thinking! I've washed the car myself and purposely sprayed water at all typical leak locations around the top frame and the tops of the windows to see if any water would get in, which would be typical of a Chevy of this vintage, however...the car is water tight.
The car only deviates from it's as delivered condition insofar as the exhaust has been converted to headers and a nice 2.5" flowmaster exhaust, and the distributor has been swapped out to a later, HEI distributor to do away with the troublesome and antiquated points type distributor.
This vehicle was purchased through an estate, with several other vehicles. I have not had the opportunity to take the car but to the gas station to put fresh gas in the tank because the weather has been very foul here outside of Chicago and I refuse to expose this work of automotive art to the elements.
It is my understanding that this vehicle was part of a now defunct Las Vegas hotel display and now sits in my climate controlled warehouse waiting to be shipped to your home.
My reason for selling the vehicle is that my collection has outgrown it's stable, and the car should be in the hands of a collector that can show the car.
The car is sold AS-IS, where is. I've done my best to describe the aforementioned vehicle as best as I can, however...if you feel there is something I missed or you are requesting additional information on this unit, please...do not hesitate to call me at any reasonable hour at 312 622 7533
It should be noted this this car is for sale locally as well as on other venues, and quite candidly, this auction may be removed at anytime in the event the car is sold by other means.

GM issues stop-sale for 3 SUVs over incorrect MPG rating
Fri, May 13 2016This week, GM sent a memo to Chevy, GMC, and Buick dealers to tell them to stop selling three SUVS. The 2016 Chevy Traverse, the GMC Acadia, and the Buick Enclave all have EPA window stickers that show higher fuel economy ratings than the vehicles actually have. Unlike other recent – and very public – fuel economy ratings problems from VW and Mitsubishi, it doesn't seem like GM did anything wrong with the testing for these vehicles, it just misprinted the labels. New labels are being printed and should arrive at dealerships this weekend and early next week. After that, the SUVs will be able to be sold and delivered again. The official fuel economy rating for the three SUVs are all the same. The correct numbers for the all-wheel drive versions are 17 miles per gallon combined, 15 city, and 22 highway. The stickers say the SUVs get 17/24/19. The front-wheel driver models were also incorrectly labeled, and the total number of affected vehicles is 59,823. In the memo, GM said the problem was caused by an "inadvertent error," Automotive News says. GM is working with the EPA to solve the issue. We have asked GM for a comment on the mistake and will update this post if we hear back. Related Gallery 2013 GMC Acadia View 16 Photos News Source: Automotive News – sub. req.

Watch Evo pick its 2015 Car of the Year in this epic video
Mon, Dec 7 2015With just a few days left in 2015, it's the perfect time to check out Evo's annual Car of the Year test to determine the greatest performance vehicle of the last 12 months. The writers' picks for the 11 finalists spanned a breadth of engaging models and included: Peugeot 208 GTi by Peugeot Sport, Lamborghini Aventador SV, Seat Leon Cupra Sub8, McLaren 675LT, Porsche 991 GT3 RS, Porsche Cayman GT4, Honda Civic Type R, Ferrari 488 GTB, Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, Lotus Evora 400, and Mercedes-AMG GT S. For the venue to test the mettle of these performance machines, Evo stuck close to home this year and visited the twisting roads at the beautiful north coast of Scotland. Racing brothers Marino and Dario Franchitti also came along for the ride to provide two more voices in the competitive challenge to determine a winner. Evo's video explains why each model deserves to be among such rarified company but doesn't gloss over their faults either. There can be only one winner, though. We don't want to spoil it, so check out the clip for magnificent views of these performance machines through the Scottish countryside.
Mustang retakes monthly pony car sales crown from Camaro
Wed, Dec 3 2014Going back to their origins in the Swinging '60s, the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro have been fierce rivals for fans' hearts and dollars. Historically, the Ford often led in volume, but Chevy took the muscle car top spot in 2009 upon the Camaro's rebirth. However, with the launch of the latest Blue Oval pony car, the tide is turning back in Ford's favor. November was the first full month of sales for the new 2015 Mustang, and according to TheDetroitBureau.com, the model did spectacularly well. The Blue Oval shifted 8,728 of them, up 62 percent from same month last year, with the automaker proclaiming it the model's best November sales since 2006. Conversely, 4,385 units of the Camaro were delivered, down 13.5 percent year-over-year, meaning its sales were roughly half that of the new-generation Mustang. Ford is understandably happy with the results, and product development director Raj Nair even hinted to TDB that another version of the Mustang might be unveiled at January's North American International Auto Show. Rumor has it that the model will be the even more potent Shelby Mustang GT350R. Despite the Mustang's November success, the Camaro outsells it year to day. So far in 2014, Ford has sold 73,124 Mustangs versus 79,669 examples of the Camaro. With December offering the last chance for an overtake, the Bowtie may yet remain king for this year's sales crown. A new Camaro is peeking over the horizon, as well. It's reportedly moving to the Alpha platform used by the Cadillac ATS, and production could start in late 2015. Prototypes are already testing at the Nurburgring, and camouflaged examples have been spotted weirdly being compared to its '80s forefather.
