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. |

Chevy Silverado WT gets its own murdered-out trim pack
Fri, Feb 20 2015Media days for the 2015 Chicago Auto Show ended last week, but that hasn't stopped Chevrolet from adding just one more thing. The Bowtie brand showed off three new trim packages for its trucks in the Windy City – the Colorado GearOn and the Silverado Midnight and Custom – but protests from consumers over the price of these equipment packs has led the company to release a new trim group for its most affordable fullsizer, the Silverado WT. The $1,595 Black Out pack will be available on both the regular- and double-cab Silverado WT and offers a few simple, stylistic upgrades. Five-spoke, 20-inch black wheels are the headlining item, although Chevy will also include "deep tinted glass" and black bowtie badges both fore and aft. Available only in black (the company even paraphrases old Mr. Ford in its press release), the new package adds just enough to class up the otherwise dreary looking Work Truck. Chevy has only released one image for the time being, available up top. Dealers, meanwhile, are currently taking orders. Check below for the brief press release. Chevrolet Silverado Work Trucks Get Blacked Out DETROIT – Chevrolet is adding a $1,595 Black Out package for regular- and double-cab 2015 Silverado 1500 WT models. It includes 20" black painted aluminum wheels, P275/55R20 all-season blackwall tires, deep tinted glass and black bowties. Prices start at $28,895. The package is available for order now, and customers can have any color they want, as long as it is black. Editors' Note: Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price excludes tax, title, license, dealer fees and optional equipment. Includes dealer freight charges and option package discounts. Founded in 1911 in Detroit, Chevrolet is now one of the world's largest car brands, doing business in more than 140 countries and selling more than 4.8 million cars and trucks a year. Chevrolet provides customers with fuel-efficient vehicles that feature engaging performance, design that makes the heart beat, passive & active safety features and easy-to-use technology, all at a value.

NHTSA approves hybrid rearview mirror display in Cadillac CT6, Bolt EV
Tue, Feb 23 2016The Chevy Bolt EV prototype doesn't just have a fancy new all-electric powertrain. Just outside the driver's line of sight is a newfangled rearview mirror, one that can turn into a screen that shows a moving image from the rear-facing camera. Speaking to NPR's Robert Siegel yesterday, Department of Transportation secretary Anthony Foxx said that NHTSA has now approved this type of mirror/screen for use in vehicles. According to a letter from NHTSA to General Motors, GM will likely use this Full Display Mirror first in the 2016 Cadillac CT6 before coming to the Bolt. In its letter to GM, NHTSA said that the Full Display Mirror will only qualify as a standard rearview mirror as long as there are normal side mirrors in place. In other words, don't expect to see cameras and screens replacing all the mirrors in a motor vehicle just yet. @AutoblogGreen @NPR - #NHTSA has OK'd GM rear-view system that can switch between mirror & camera views. pic.twitter.com/6CBeIit10v — Anthony Foxx (@SecretaryFoxx) February 22, 2016 The Full Display Mirror was developed by Gentex, which has long worked with GM. The FDM debuted in 2014 and some people hoped it would also make its way into the Tesla Model X. Gentex, which also makes auto-dimming mirrors, says that it has "set out to develop the technologies and core competencies necessary to manage this evolution of the rearview mirror." The Chevy Bolt EV will start at $37,500, before incentives. The 200-mile EV will go into production late this year for likely sale in early 2017. Related Video:
Chevy gets cracking on Cruze EV fleet testing
Tue, 21 Sep 2010Chevrolet Cruze EV - Click above for high-res image gallery
The Chevrolet Volt hasn't yet gone on sale, but General Motors is looking at ways of expanding its electric vehicle lineup. Chevy, along with partner LG, is employing a group of all-electric cars in the form of the Cruze. The sedans are part of a demonstration fleet which is located in Seoul, South Korea and is being used to provide data in an electric vehicle research project. The goal is to gather information on driving patterns and charging behavior in addition to consumer acceptance.
The Cruze EVs, along with some Daewoo Lacetti Premieres EVs, are the first fleet of full-size electric vehicles and should provide invaluable information for The General. Staying full-size means not sacrificing cargo space, so the battery pack is mounted to the underbody, leaving the trunk area open for plenty recyclable, canvas grocery bags.
