On Nov-10-13 at 04:12:03 PST, seller added the following information: Here is my detailed report on this vehicle which was prompted by some of your questions. I am sorry I did not have this on here earlier but this vehicle truly speaks and sells itself! I will be using a scale of 1-10 Here is my guide: 1-being beyond repair 5-being functional but needing cosmetic repair or vice versa 10-being completely perfect or good as original As I stated in the description and from what you can't see in the pictures, are some minor cosmetic imperfections. Small scratches, chips, and dents are present, but they are very minuet. I will send you a few pictures to clarify. If the paint and body was literally 100% flawless, (which would be better than the factory finish) is a 10 - this car would be a 7. If there were no blemishes that occurred after the paint job I would give it a 8. The wearable items (brakes, tires, ect.) are all new or near new - 9 The glass is all original and is in very good condition. Some very minor blemishes and typical slight delamination in the corners, hardly noticeable - 9 The engine, transmission, and differential, (and their counterparts) are numbers matching and in great condition , cosmetically and mechanically. I will say an 8 for cosmetic and a 9 for mechanically operable. 396cid Turbo Jet/325hp - 400 hydramatic (Turbo 400) 12 Bolt Posi ( I believe 3.08 gears - If you need to know for sure I will find out positively its either 3.08 or 3.55) The suspension has mostly been replaced/restored and is an 8 cosmetically and a 9 for operable as well . The electrical system and everything it encompasses is sound and all functions are operable with the exception of the 8-track. It seems someone has possibly had a modern radio head installed at sometime in the past and when they put the original 8-trck back in, they did not bother to connect it electronically. - I will investigate this more if desired. Other than that - this gets a 9 for function and a 9 for appearance. (wire routing, splicing, ect) The interior is mostly all original we suspect. The vinyl seats, panels, and dash are in very good condition. you may find a small superficial hairline crack, but for the most part, it is as good as it gets. Some minor dullness (you can see in the pictures). The plastic and metal parts are all in fine shape. Anything less than what it looked like in 1968 is due to time, not wear. Some dullness and light checking. (you can see this on the steering wheel in the pictures) . The top is new and functions as designed. Interior score - 7 with the potential to be an 8 with a bottle of interior refresher / conditioner and some time. Trunk, engine compartment, and undercarriage - Pictures speak for it - 8 or 9 ? I will say this vehicle over all is an 8. You can see what it sold for at Barrett Jackson by clicking the link above. I believe that alone should instill your confidence in this vehicle. This car is a cross between a show car and a driver. It may not be the best at the Barrett Jackson type auctions but it might be the nicest one at your local car show. This is a car you can drive and enjoy without having to worry about every bug that hits your windshield. This car appeals to every type of potential owner. It can be a driver, show car, collector piece, small project, or all of the above. If it were mine, I would drive and enjoy it as a "Sunday car", touch up little things as I go,(and as more develop inevitable from use) and take it to car shows. If you are looking to do a restoration, - this is not the car If you are looking for a trailer queen - this is not the car ( but it can be I suppose) This is a car that is in probably as good as shape as the late model car you drive everyday, and I bet this 1968 Impala will cost less than the car you are driving now. Just saying - what kind of car can you buy nowadays under $28,000 ? Like I have stated, this is not my car, but a car I am listing for a very good customer. I been around this car several times over the passing years and recently I went over it very thoroughly in order to list it. My opinions are true, professional, and unbiased. Happy bidding! Questions are always welcomed!

2014 Chevrolet Cruze TD fires up its new diesel motor
Thu, 07 Feb 2013Ever since General Motors confirmed plans to produce a diesel-powered Cruze back in 2011, we've been eagerly awaiting its arrival. And as part of the 2013 Chicago Auto Show, Chevrolet has pulled back the cover on its oil-burning compact sedan, set to go on sale in the near future with a starting price of $25,695, not including $810 for destination.
The heart and soul of the Cruze TD (that's its official name) is a 2.0-liter turbo-diesel inline four-cylinder engine rated at 148 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, mated solely to a six-speed automatic transmission. The engine also has an overboost function that will increase torque to 280 lb-ft for up to ten seconds. The full brace of official specs haven't been released, but GM tells us that highway fuel economy will come in at 42 miles per gallon. If that number sounds familiar, it's because the Volkswagen Jetta TDI has the exact same rating. Unlike the Jetta, however, the Cruze TD can run on B20 biodiesel, where as the Volkswagen can only accept B5.
Model-specific changes to this 2014 Cruze TD include an aero kit and unique 17-inch alloy wheels. Inside, there's a full leather interior, and Chevrolet will provide two years of complimentary scheduled maintenance, not to mention a 100,000-mile powertrain warranty.
2016 Lamborghini Huracan at the Horse Thief Mile | AutoblogVR
Tue, Sep 13 2016AutoblogVR returns to the Horse Thief Mile in the Mojave Desert to put the Lamborghini Huracan to the test. It's everything we want a modern supercar to be: Powerful, striking in appearance, and a riot to drive. But does it live up to Lamborghini's unique performance heritage? Senior Editor Greg Migliore reviews the Huracan on Horse Thief's unyielding curves and elevation changes to find out. Meanwhile, Autoblog Editor-in-Chief Mike Austin reviews a different kind of performance car – the Chevy SS at the IndyCar circuit on Detroit's Belle Isle. He's ably assisted by ace driver Simon Pagenaud. You must watch his hot lap! The SS is old-school V8 American muscle wrapped in Australian design and engineering. This AutoblogVR segment also launches on the app Sept. 13, and the teaser follows the Huracan preview above. Each week, new episodes will launch on the AutoblogVR App. We'll preview them here on Autoblog, but for the full immersive experience, head over to the app, which you can download for free from the App store and Google Play. Be sure to try it with a cardboard viewer, too!
Bob Lutz says Tesla remains 'fringe' brand
Sun, Sep 28 2014We've said it before, we'll said it again: Bob Lutz gives great quotes. From his toilet-themed opinion of global warming to Toyota's deity status, the man knows how to get your attention. His latest? Saying that Tesla Motors is and will remain a fringe brand. Take that, Tesla fanbois. This, of course, is the same fringe company that prompted Lutz and his former colleagues at General Motors to start working on the Chevy Volt around eight years ago. The same fringe company that has easily outsold the similarly priced (but don't call it a competitor) Cadillac ELR with its Model S. Lutz did clarify that the fringe status will only last until Tesla comes out with a mass-market electric vehicle that has a range of 200 to 300 miles. Lutz was on CNBC talking about the TSLA stock's recent performance, and he pointed out that even Tesla CEO Elon Musk says that the California automaker's stock is overvalued these days. Despite its prevalence around these parts, Tesla is not yet a household brand. But the company is working hard to get a cheaper, long-range EV to market in the not-too-distant future, so this fringe thing may not last much longer than that show Fringe did.
