1969 Chevrolet Impala Survivor, Low Mileage Unrestored Original, Complete on 2040-cars
Sheridan, Wyoming, United States
This is an all original, unrestored, low mileage 1969 Chevrolet Impala. Paint, interior, drivetrain, etc are all original and have never been touched. This is a true survivor car that is just like they came out of the dealer in 1969. This car drives great and represents the ride of the late 60s and early 70s. It feels like you are gliding down the road, no wind noise, no squeaks, no rattles. It is a different feel than you get from modern cars that have a typically harsh ride. It really puts you back in time. The odometer show 15232 miles. The speedometer works but the odometer does not advance. With that, I don't know what the exact mileage of this car is. Based on the lack of visible wear on the carpet scuff pad under the brake pedal, the lack of wear on the brake and gas pedal, the cleanliness and lack of buildup inside of the engine, and the lack of any wear within the carburetor, my best guess is that this vehicle has no more than 35,000 original miles. The engine compartment is complete and is missing nothing. The bale on the brake master cylinder still has the plastic tag on it from the original assembly at the factory. All wiring is in perfect condition with all original connectors. I installed a rebuilt kit in the original carburetor. These Quadrajets always need bushings installed in the primary throttle shaft bores. This one was perfect with no play or evidence of any wear. The accelerator pump lever is also a common item to show wear. Again, there was no wear on this lever. The upper radiator hose is original with the original clamps. The lower hose had been changed at some point. New plugs and wires have also been installed. There is a picture through the oil fill hole that shows how clean the interior of the engine is. There is no oil buildup at all. The heads are the typical 441 castings. The engine is the 255 hp 350. The transmission is a Turbohydromatic 350. It upshifts and downshifts flawlessly. There is absolutely no slip. The transmission fluid looks and smells clean. The rear axle is a stock, non-positrac 12 bolt. I have not checked the codes but it is most likely a 3:08 ratio. Tires are newer with all season tread. The hold air just fine. The trunk in this car is flawless and speaks to the low mileage. There is no rust or damage in the trunk. The spare tire does not hold air. All original bumper jack pieces are there and in great shape except for the wing nut. It is missing. The interior of this car is just incredible. There is no visible wear on any part, The dash pad is not cracked or faded. The seats are in beautiful original condition. The front carpet is in great condition but has the appearance of some very minor fading if you look at it closely. The drivers side scuff pad shows no wear. The brake and gas pedals are also in great shape with no signs of wear. There was apparently an 8 track tape player installed under the dash, in the area of the ash tray. The mounting plate is still there. There are also what appears to be some aftermarket speakers installed on the hinge pillars between the front and rear doors. These are in great shape and are probably from the early 70s. All glass in the vehicle is original and in great shape, including the windshield. The stainless window mouldings are also in great shape. Door handles, emblems, and other chrome items are free of any pitting or corrosion. The front clip is in near perfect condition with the exception of the right lower fender. There is rust as shown in the pictures. The rear wheel wells also have a very small amount of rust as shown. The paint on this car is all original. It is only lightly oxidized and could be polished. I left it alone as I felt this car should be left untouched. This is a unique example of an all original car from another time. I have driven it around town and on the local rural roads and enjoyed it very much. You really get peoples attention with a car like this because you just don't see them around much anymore. Whoever gets this car will certainly enjoy it!

2015 Chevrolet Trax
Thu, Dec 4 2014After the obligatory product presentation for the 2015 Trax, I caught up with Steve Majoros, Chevrolet's director of marketing for crossovers and cars, and asked him to elaborate on which markets his planners believe will be the hot starters for this tiny CUV. Without much hesitation, Majoros began to click off traditional sales havens for Subaru, namely, New England and the snowy bits of the East Coast, Colorado and the Pacific Northwest. That news might not surprise you, but it did me. Perhaps it's something as basic as the Trax's tall-hatchback looks, or the emphasis Chevrolet put on the urban driving cycle during my test in San Diego. But before my chat with Majoros, I'd considered this a crossover pointed at the Millennial city mouse more than his bumpkin cousin. But a closer look had me re-examining the granola cred of Chevy's smallest crossover. Having spent my fair share of time in New England and around New Englanders, I started by mentally listing the Trax's Subaru-like traits: practicality, thrift, all-weather ability and, well, just a dash of ugliness. (I suppose a hatchback needn't always be ugly to sell in Maine, or Boulder or Portland... but a 'distinctive' face doesn't seem to hurt.) After a day of driving through sunny San Diego and its surroundings, I can say that Trax makes an interesting case for itself against the standard bearers of the L.L. Bean set, but I'm less sure of its argument for young urbanites. The Trax looks a lot like an Equinox whose suit shrunk in the wash. Chevy's has downsized its own, rather conservative crossover styling to fit the proportions of the subcompact Trax; to my eyes, it looks a lot like an Equinox whose suit shrunk in the wash. That's fine for offering a cohesive look for the Chevy family of crossovers, but it seems out of step with the rest of the segment. If the Trax's current competitive set were the cast of a high school-based TV show, the Kia Soul would play the lovable nerd, the Nissan Juke perhaps the outsider musician and the Subaru XV Crosstrek the athletic outdoorsy kid. Chevy may see the Trax as the hipster chick wearing intentionally ironic mom jeans, but to me the styling is a little too on the nose; more like an actual grownup trying to hang with the kids. These mom jeans are genuine. Per my earlier point, that quasi-conservative look may be just fast enough for staid New Englanders, but I have a hard time seeing the bluff, big-Bowtied front end playing in Bushwick or Wicker Park.
Ford F-150, Chevy Silverado, Toyota Tundra flunk IIHS headlight test
Tue, Oct 25 2016The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety put pickup truck headlights to the test and found that the majority of them were equipped with subpar units. The 2017 Honda Ridgeline was the only truck to earn a rating of "good." The large pickup truck test was comprised of the: 2016 to 2017 GMC Sierra, 2017 Nissan Titan, 2016 Ram 1500, 2016 to 2017 Chevrolet Silverado, 2016 to 2017 Ford F-150, and 2016 to 2017 Toyota Tundra. The Sierra's headlights earned a rating of "acceptable," the headlights found on the Titan and Ram 1500 were found to be "marginal," and the ones on the Silverado, F-150, and Tundra were rated as "poor." IIHS claims the F-150 was the most disappointing out of the large pickup trucks as both its halogen and optional LED headlights failed to provide adequate visibility during testing. The Ridgeline (which earned a "good rating"), is usually considered a midsize or small truck, though IIHS included it in the field of large pickups. The headlights on the 2016 Chevrolet Colorado, 2016 GMC Canyon, 2016 Nissan Frontier, and 2016 to 2017 Toyota Tacoma, which made up the small pickup truck group, all earned a rating of "poor." The IIHS claimed the Colorado had the worst headlights of any truck that was tested, as the base vehicle's units were only able to illuminate up to 123 feet in front of the car. The Ridgeline's headlights, for reference, were able to illuminate up to 358 feet in front of the vehicle. To conduct its test, the IIHS utilizes a special tool to measure how far light is projected out of the headlights in different driving situations. The trucks' headlights were tested in a straight line and in corners, while vehicles with high-beam assist were given extra praise. The headlights on the pickup trucks also mimic the testing that was done on small SUVs and cars earlier this year. Next year, automakers will need to fit their vehicles with headlights that earn a rating of either good or acceptable to earn the IIHS Top Safety Pick+. Related Video:
PickupTrucks.com's latest test results in a familiar winner [w/video]
Wed, 19 Jun 2013PickupTrucks.com has gone and thrown the latest batch of half-ton pickups into a cage match to see who would come out on top. The site put the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, 2013 Ford F-150, Ram 1500, Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan through a battery of tests. Those included 0-60 miles per hour acceleration, 60-0 mph deceleration, fuel economy, a hill climb, and payload and towing. They even threw the rigs on an autocross course to evaluate overall handling. Each truck was given points based on how it scored in each evaluation.
Who came out on top? Somewhat surprisingly, the 2013 Ford F-150 walked away with the gold, though fewer than 50 points separated first and fourth place. Head over to PickupTrucks.com to read the full evaluation and the final results. You may be shocked to see exactly where some of the segment's newest additions placed. You can also watch a video on the test below.
