1966 Impala Ss Clone, Convertible, 454 5 Speed Overdrive, Frame Off Restoration on 2040-cars
Huntsville, Alabama, United States
Beautiful white Impala SS clone. I have owned the car for a year and a half and had a blast with it. It turns heads everywhere it goes. I purchased it most of the way through a frame off restoration. My son and I finished the job, which included redoing the interior, the white paint and fixing several small issues that show up after a project the size of this one. We also added new rubber throughout the interior. There are none of the rattles and squeaks associated with a car of this age. The car was burgundy when we first acquired it and so some of the pictures will show the car being rebuilt and driven as burgundy. The car has been White for over a year. The car has a rebuilt 454 installed. I cannot tell you all of what was replaced by the master mechanic who did the job. I have bought the car to be a regular play toy, and it has been. But since its not stock, I have not made a production out of keeping records. The transmission is a 5 speed. The fifth gear is an electric overdrive. This allows us to cruise the highways without getting raped at every gas station we pass. The car has a relatively new (about 1 year old) DVD player stereo and a boom box in a box in the trunk. Tunes sound good. It has disk brakes on the front and a special lock set up so that you can easily power stand (or lock the front wheels) while spinning the back ones. It also has a bleach tank installed to make those tire create a very impressive cloud of smoke as the videos will testify to. Speaking of tires, they are all very fresh. The convertible top was replaced right before I acquired the car and it has been kept under shelter since the purchase. No leaks or tears. The hydraulic system for raising and lower the top has had several parts replaced (including the pump) and it works flawlessly. The front end has been aligned recently and the battery is a few months old now. I drive the car fairly regular and have taken it several hundred miles without any issues. Its longest trip so far was in excess of 500 miles when we picked it up. As would be expected with a car this old it has a few issues. None of them are serious and most could be repaired with a little effort. My complains deal with sun visors not staying in position and windows that have issues with the fresh rubber when rolling them up and down in the back. If the buyer is within a one easy day drive, I would be glad to deliver it (you have to work with my schedule though). We (my son and I) are selling this because he cannot afford the gas (he is 17 now) and I am looking for a new toy to play with. I would really like this to go to someone that will enjoy it as much as I have. Remember when looking at the pictures, the white exterior is recent the red exteriors are at least one to one and a half years old. Note the car is too old to carry a title in Alabama. I will be able to provide a bill of sale only. Also there is no way to verify the mileage on the speedometer. |

Recharge Wrap-up: Batty battery covers, Mercedes at Silvretta, new Hyundai Sonata Hybrid available in 2015
Tue, Jul 8 2014Apparently, Chevrolet Volt battery covers make suitable homes for bats. As part of an Eagle Scout project, Matthew Netherland created 30 bat houses out of scrapped Volt battery covers donated by Chevy. 22 of the bat houses will be set up near hydroelectric dams in Michigan. Each bat house will accommodate 100 bats, and divert the scrapped materials from the landfill. The battery covers also make great nesting boxes for wood ducks, which General Motors has previously set up at its Milford, Michigan Proving Ground. Last weekend was the Silvretta E-Auto Rally, which saw emissions-free vehicles cross the Montafon Mountains in Austria, including cars from Mercedes-Benz. These cars included the B-Class Electric Drive, B-Class F-Cell, SLS AMG Electric Drive and even the Smart Fortwo Electric Drive. Also on hand for the Silvretta Classic Rally was a V8-powered C111, a 1978 Mercedes-Benz 450 SLC and 300 SL Roadster. Read more in the press release, below. BMW has finalized pricing for the i8 in the US at $135,700 (plus $925 in destination charges). In addition to the base price tag, which we've known for a while, BMW Blog has the complete pricing guide with options and packages. Most of the i8 orders were the Pure Impulse World package, which includes various aesthetic upgrades. It also provides membership to the BMW i Pure Impulse Program, which allows you to "to enjoy innovative ideas and trends in a variety of areas, including home styling, culture, gourmet gastronomy, design and many more." Head over to BMW Blog for more information. The new generation of the Hyundai Sonata Hybrid will arrive later than the rest of the model lineup, confirms Car and Driver. While the gas-powered Sonatas get updated now for the 2015 model year, the Hybrid remains unchanged until late this year or early 2015, when it will arrive as a 2016 model. Hyundai is offering a 2015 Sonata Eco edition, but with 28 miles per gallon in the city and 38 mpg highway (32 combined), it's not quite as appealing as the current Sonata Hybrid's 36/40/38 figures. Read more here. In June, average US fuel economy was 25.5 miles per gallon, making it the fifth straight month above 25 mpg, according to University of Michigan. The average window sticker ratings from vehicles sold in June dropped slightly from 25.6 mpg in May. The year started at 24.9 mpg in January, and hasn't dropped below 25 mpg since.
2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra show all their sides in Detroit
Tue, 15 Jan 2013There could hardly be more riding on the next-generation General Motors full-size pickup trucks, so the automaker has wisely made sure to have a selection of different models on hand at the Detroit Auto Show to show off. The 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and 2014 GMC Sierra were both officially introduced last month at a stand-alone reveal, and now they'll be on display for the public to see in various body configurations and trim levels.
The Silverado LTZ Crew Cab and Sierra SLE Extended Cab are aimed at providing more of a high-end pickup experience, while the Silverado LT Z71 Extended Cab and Sierra SLT Z71 Crew Cab should have off-road fans scouting out their favorite trails. The crew cab trucks won't go into production until sometime during the second quarter of this year - with other bodystyles coming later in the year - but we have plenty of live images from Detroit for you to enjoy.
New Bright creating exclusive 1:8 scale radio-controlled C7 Corvette
Mon, 04 Feb 2013If you want a new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette but can't quite save up enough pennies for the monthly payment, we have good news for you. Toymaker New Bright has pulled the covers off of its 1:8 scale remote-controlled version of the American sports car. Complete with a very detailed interior and LED headlights, this large-scale R/C is as close as most of us will ever come to having one of the menacing Chevrolet models to call our very own. New Bright still hasn't released pricing or availability, but word has it the coupe should hit the market soon.
Right now, it appears as if the C7 will hit shelves in Torch Red, though we don't know if other colors are planned as well. The good news is that New Bright isn't exactly turning its back on the old C6 - representatives say the company will continue to make its popular C6R racecar for those who prefer round taillights.
