1968 CHEVROLET SS427 IMPALA

The 1968 Impala SS427 was very distinguishable from a standard Impala or Impala Super Sport in several ways. The most identifying features of the SS427 were its special louvered fenders and sports styled hood with a chrome insert near the base of the windshield. Both of these features were SS427 only.

Due to its low production numbers, the 1968 Impala SS427 is without a doubt one of the rarest Chevrolet Super Sports of all time. Of the three year run of the Impala SS427, it was the poorest selling SS427. However, thanks to several cosmetic differences between it and a standard Impala, 1968 is also quite probably the hardest of the three years to fake or clone. For most people, the adventure of finding all the correct parts is both too time consuming and way too costly.

By 1968 the Impala Super Sport had been reduced back to being simply an Impala model option (RPO Z-03) as opposed to being a separate model with its own VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) designation. Accordingly, the SS427 (RPO Z-24) was also just another model option for the standard Impala. Unlike 1967, when the Z-24 option was basically combined with an Impala Super Sport to make the SS427, in 1968 the SS427 was a stand-alone option that could be had on the Sport Coupe, Convertible; only 1,778 new customers opted for the SS427 equipment package. Being a L-36 427 it has the in dash mounted 5,500 redline R.P.M. tachometer, SS console and buckets with 427 dash emblem. Power brakes and power steering are also optioned on this car as well as a factory tilt column.

This car now has a 502 gm crate motor with roller rockers and extensive head work, Holley carb and march serpentine belt system, backed by a 700r4 overdrive with a shift kit and stall converter,4 core radiator ,3 inch exhaust , car is a great driver , for daily or shows . You can fly in and drive it anywhere, car rides nice and will lite the tires at your will ,this car is the perfect mix of restomod/orginal. Paint is great and the side molding is actually airbrushed on and is a great touch to the car , American racing torq thrusts and like new tires, floor pans and trunk are all solid

A few things to note THIS CAR IS NOT PERFECT built as a driver not a trailer queen ,Car is missing the drivers side arm rest , center console has a crack on the passenger side , some rust is showing around the quarter panels and by a front roof pillar , ss trim pieces could use a rechrome , I hide nothing on this car , I encourage serious bidders come take a look and lets go for a cruise , thanks for looking and feel free to ask questions , car is for sale locally also and I reserve the right to end this auction at any time ,Due the research a rare car , A chance to own a car that will only increase in value due to how rare it is

GM cutting Chevy Sonic, Buick Verano production [UPDATE]

Sun, Jan 25 2015

UPDATE: A previous version of this story indicated that Orion Assembly would be idled for seven weeks, from February 16 through April 6. This was incorrect. The factory will instead only be idled for the weeks of February 16 and April 6. The story has been edited to reflect this. General Motors has announced that the factory responsible for the Buick Verano and Chevrolet Sonic will be idled for the weeks of February 16 and April 6, with blame being placed on excess supply. The Orion Assembly plant, about 45 minutes north of GM's Renaissance Center headquarters, employs about 1,800 people, but they'll be given a pair of furloughs as inventories of the sub-compact Sonic and premium compact Verano reach 127 days and 84 days, respectively. That works out to 26,600 Chevys and 9,800 Buicks waiting for buyers. According to Automotive News, the compact Chevy sales bested the industry average in 2014, jumping up nine percent versus the the overall segment's eight-percent gain, while the Buick sedan's sales were down four percent. When asked about the shutdown, a GM spokesman told AN that it will "build to market demand," while also pointing out that the company did not comment on production plans.

Audi S4 drivers are the most accident-prone, insurance report says

Sun, Jun 25 2023

Culling data from more than 4.6 million automobile insurance applications, researchers at the Insurify insurance comparison marketplace picked a winner — or more to the point, a loser — in its determination of the car model with the most accidents so far in 2023: the Audi S4. Why does the sporty, luxury-class German sedan rank so high (or so low)? The organization found that S4 drivers, piloting a car with almost 350 horsepower, are among those who collect the most speeding tickets, and that they get into accidents at a rate 54 percent higher than the national average. If the S4 isnÂ’t a surprise with an at-fault accident rate of 11.7 percent, consider the “family friendly” brand that appears three times on the Insurity list: Subaru. It is represented by three models, including the turbocharged WRX and XV Crosstrek, and at the better-performing bottom of the list, the Subaru Impreza, with an accident rate of 10.3 percent.  In 2023, 7.6 percent of U.S. drivers were involved in at least one at-fault accident in the prior seven years. For drivers of cars on this list, the average at-fault accident rate was 10.5 percent, meaning these drivers are 1.4 times as likely to have an at-fault accident on record. According to its statement, the Insurity data science team explored key safety features, driver behavior, and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) evaluations to pinpoint possible reasons behind these carsÂ’ high accident rates. Following is the list, counting down to the models with most reported accidents: 10. Subaru Impreza (percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.3 percent; MSRP base model): $19,795) 9. Kia Niro (percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.4 percent; MSRP base model): $26,590) 8. Chevrolet Silverado LD (percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.4%, MSRP base model): $34,500) 7. Subaru XV Crosstrek (percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.5 percent, MSRP 6. Subaru WRX.(percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.7% MSRP base model): $29,605) 5. Toyota GR86 (percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.8 percent MSRP base model): $29,900) 4. Hyundai Veloster N (percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.9 percent; MSRP base model): $32,500) 3.

Recharge Wrap-up: EVs poll well in Portland, Tesla seeks office space

Tue, Aug 5 2014

In a poll of drivers in Portland, more than 80 percent said they would be driving an EV in the next 10 years if they weren't already. The poll was small and not scientific, with just 218 votes cast, but it does reflect a slice of a certain population with changing attitudes toward electric mobility, and 80 percent is an impressive figure. Additionally, 43 percent of respondents planned to have an EV in the next five years, and only 18 percent said they prefer gasoline-powered vehicles. With EVs in many ways repeating the adoption process that hybrids went through a decade ago, the five- or ten-year timeframe for more widespread use seems only natural. Read more at the Portland Business Journal. San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee parks like an idiot, or rather, his security detail does. His Chevrolet Volt has been ticketed for parking six times since he took office. Granted, those street-sweeping signs are tough to keep track of, but his car has been photographed blocking at a bus stop while grabbing a burrito (who hasn't sinned in the name of a delicious burrito?), and was even caught parked in a crosswalk. The tickets were all dismissed. Read more from the SF Gate. Tesla is looking for office space in Silicon Valley. As the electric car company continues to search for a place to build its $4- to $5-billion battery Gigafactory, it also needs some real estate to expand its operations near its Palo Alto home. Tesla has expanded from 3,000 to 6,000 California-based employees since the end of 2012, and plans to add 500 more by the end of the year. It is currently looking for 200,000 to 300,000 square feet of office space close to its Fremont factory, according to sources in the real estate industry.
