Middle Haddam, Connecticut, United States
Vehicle Title:Clear
Make: Chevrolet
Drive Type: rear
Model: Impala
Mileage: 85,000
Trim: Base
This is my 1966 Impala Sport Coupe. It started life as a base model, 283/powerglide/10 bolt car. Now- 427 Big Block, M-20 4-speed, 12 Bolt Posi rear with 3.73's. Now it's fun. There are some parts taken from various Super Sport cars I've picked apart over the years. Bucket Seats, 4 speed pedals, grill emblem, trunk emblem, and I have Super Sport fenders if the high bidder would like them. The car was purchased by me about 4 years ago from a guy who had owned it since the 80's. He bought it from the original lady owner/family friend who mostly drove it in the summer. He did the body work, lower quarters and some fender work. Neither of us ever got to painting it. He kept it stored all those years in a wood stove heated garage, and since I've owned it, it's never been in the rain. Very solid car, rust free floors, trunk, rockers, etc... I have and will include all of the exterior trim for the car, and it's in very nice shape. I made the Hood for it and it's the one on the car now. It's got the bumps from a 67 SS Chevelle grafted onto a stock hood, gives it some Hot Rod flavor. The stock tan hood is included too. The interior shows its age and could use freshening up. The seats are marina blue 66 impala SS buckets that have seat covers on them, the rest of the fawn interior appears to be original. Front shocks are new, springs are for a small block- it sits low, looks mean. New urethane sway bar bushings. It has power steering, no power brakes. 4 wheel drum, however, I will be including a set of spindles from a 73 Corvette. These are a great alternative to China crap when converting to disk brakes. Look it up, it's being done and the calipers, pads, rotors etc... can all be had from Napa. The wheels are 15x7 and 15x8 Corvette Ralley wheels, 255/60/15 fronts, 275/60/15 rears, Goodyear Eagle GT-II tires with low miles. The pics shown with the SS emblems are how it is now, the pics without are to show the stock hood, really not much difference.
Engine: 1970 402 Big Block Chevy bored to 4.25 with Keith Black pistons 9.75:1 Crank turned 10/10, new bearings throughout. Heads are a set of 1970 820's oval port, open chamber that have had a competition valve job, new parts installed and new comp springs. The valve train is a Comp Thumper set up, Edelbrock performer intake, Holley 750 Street HP carb (new/no choke), Crane Electronic ignition module, MSD 8.8mm wires, Hooker Super Comp. Headers, Pypes 2 1/2" Dual Exhaust. Also has a Griffin aluminum radiator, 2 speed electric fan, New 75 amp alternator, solid state regulator, and Bosch starter. Interstate battery too.
Transmission: 1973 Muncie M-20 4 speed. 26 spline input, large (turbo 400) output, Hurst completion plus shifter, Ram Billet flywheel and 11" Clutch. Severe Duty U-joints. The front seal has a slight leak, and the 2nd gear synchro gets touchy. Sometimes it shifts perfect into 2nd, other times it may grind.
Rear End: 1965 Impala 12 Bolt 2 upper control arms, 2 lower control arms- Must have for horsepower. All new urethane bushings when it was installed, new shocks, new coil springs, breaks gone through. Detroit Tru-Trac Posi unit with a new Richmond 3.73 Gear set all professionally set up.
This car is a fast, and it cruises well. Check out the pictures and ask questions. If your local, inspections are ok. Serious about selling, you should be just as serious about buying. Sold As is / Where is. $500.00 Non-Refundable deposit due within 24 hours of auctions end. I'd like to see the car picked up within 10 days of auctions end unless other arrangements are made. Shipping is on you, but I will assist with getting it on a truck and on it's way. This is a solid car with a reasonable reserve. I've got other interests and need the space. Good Luck

Consumer Reports declares most and least loved cars [w/video]
Wed, Dec 3 2014Consumer Reports is crunching the numbers from its annual owner-satisfaction survey, and part of that process is finding out how attached drivers are to their cars. CR simply asks readers of models up to three years old if they would buy the same vehicle again in light of their entire ownership experience, and tallies the results. After looking at the responses for about 350,000 vehicles, it turns out that people really love a certain California-built, electrically powered luxury sedan. That's right, this year's the overall winner was the Tesla Model S with a whopping 98 percent of owners saying they would purchase another one (the Model S also won this award last year, with 99 percent satisfaction). The Chevrolet Corvette Stingray came in a close second with 95 percent of drivers hoping to park another one in their garage. A few models weren't quite so favored, though. The Nissan Versa Sedan was the least loved model among its owners; a mere 42 percent said that they would purchase another. The aging Jeep Compass didn't do much better, with just 43 percent of drivers willing to buy the softroader again. On average, about 70 percent of owners say they would buy their car again, and only four cars ranked below 50 percent in CR's findings. Check out the video above to see some of the winners and losers in a few of CR's categories. If you're a subscriber, you can check out the full list on its website.

2014 Chevy Cruze Diesel arrives with 42 mpg for $25,695*
Thu, 07 Feb 2013The last time General Motors had a diesel passenger car in the US, it was the 1.8-liter 1986 Chevette. At the 2013 Chicago Auto Show today, GM is unveiling the much-anticipated 2014 Chevrolet Cruze Diesel. The compact bows with a 2.0-liter turbo-diesel four-cylinder engine that boasts 148 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, with full twist coming on at just 2,000 rpm. What's more, the common-rail, direct-injection diesel features an overboost function that allows the engine to deliver up to 280 lb-ft of torque for 10 seconds at a time. Even with 10 more horsepower and 110 more pound-feet of torque than the available turbocharged 1.4-liter four-cylinder in the Cruze, the 2.0-liter diesel engine can return up to 42 mpg (highway) bolted to its six-speed automatic transmission.
If you're counting, that figure meets the less powerful Cruze Eco with a six-speed manual transmission. More importantly, the auto transmission Cruze Diesel matches its main competition, the Volkswagen Jetta TDI, in highway fuel economy. The Cruze 2.0 TD (as it will be badged) can also handle up to 20 percent biodiesel (B20), whereas the Jetta is rated only for B5. General Motors has not released city fuel economy for its newest diesel, but we do know how much it will cost you to jump behind the driver's seat.
GM will kindly ask for $25,695, plus an $810 destination fee. That marks a $2,115 premium over a loaded Cruze LTZ Auto and $2,640 more than the Jetta TDI, though the MSRP will net you a leather interior, 17-inch alloy wheels and an Aero Performance Package, as well as a two-year maintenance plan and five-year, 100,000-mile powertrain warranty. Compared to the gas-powered Cruze, you also lose a couple cubic feet of rear cargo space thanks to a 17-liter diesel emission fluid tank. That urea fluid, which helps put the clean in clean diesel, will need to be refilled at least every 10,000 miles.
Chevy Camaro is a good sport, wishes Ford Mustang Happy 50th
Tue, 15 Apr 2014It was 1966 when Chevrolet launched its challenger to the wildly successful Ford Mustang, the Camaro. While the competition between the two brands was already healthy, the arrival of the Camaro set off one of the most intense, model-to-model rivalries in the industry.
That competitive spirit hasn't stopped Chevy and the Camaro from wishing Ford's iconic muscle car a Happy 50th Birthday as the Ford's April 17 anniversary rolls around. These two cars have been linked over the years, and while the rivalry took a break for a few years in the 2000s, today's competition between the Camaro and Mustang is as fierce as it's ever been.
You might recall that this friendliness when it comes to major milestones isn't too rare. Ford put on quite a display for General Motors' hundredth anniversary back in 2008. As the Camaro's fiftieth birthday approaches in 2016, we wouldn't be surprised to see the Mustang sending its best wishes to its Bowtie rival.
