1969 Chevy Impala Wagon. Pretty clean vehicle for a 69. Car has a clear Georgia title. I bought this car with the intent of creating a show car but used it a cruiser. Everytime I take it out people ask if it is for sale so I figured I would put it up for sale and see what happens.
Exterior: Has a nice blue paint job that was done a few years ago but still looks really good. Flames are pinstriped on but the stripes have slowely started flaking off because they were not cleared over. Also hood and tailgate had same issues with pinstripes. Would not be hard to redo the stripes I just do not know of a striper locally. The car has a little bit of rust as seen in pics. The tailgate shows a little, the rain gutters have a small amount as well around the windshield where it was puller out, the hood vents and the passenger rocker panell as well. Trim is all there except the bottom pieces below the doors. They didnt look good with the paint. Bumpers look ok but show pitting and I would rechrome them. Roof rack has been removed but the mounts are still in place. Wheels are 18" in front and 20" in back. Front tires show some wear on insides but rears are really good. Both nittos 555s front and back. Tailgate can swing open as a door or flip down as a tailgate
Interior: The inside looks to be all original and in really good shape. All wood looks good. passenger arm rest and dash have some cracking. Headliner is sagging a little. I added alot of dynomat insolation between the 2 back seats as well as the rear panels and tailgate to keep my stereo from rattling. The tailgate and floor of rear have bedliner to also keep noise down a little. The tailgate glass still works ith a dash switch as well as one mounted in rear seaing area.
Stereo: JVC cd player was placed in as well as kicker 5x7 in center dash and kenwood tweats in front pillars. I made a enclosure/panel for 2 enclosed kicker 6x9's that sit between 2 rear seats but comes right out. Not permanate just needed a little more audio. 6X9s were about $200 pr and the tweeters were about $120 pr. Will include the additionla 5X7 kicker still brand new since there was only a spot for one in the dash from facctory.
Mechanically: Took pic before motor was cleaned to show how it normallly looks. does have a slow oil leak. Tried to video the exhaust to show a slight fog from it burning coolant but it is not that bad. It still cranks on first time when I crank it and drive it around once a week. I was going to replace head gaskets but I don't drive it enough to take the time or pay the money to do it. Motor is a small block 350. Tranny is also a 350 that works good but also has a small leak. Has a new Radiater, electric fan with a manual switch inside cab, new optima battery. Also has edlebrock carb and holley intake. Has a nice sounding cam and dual exhaust with i believe flowmaster mufflers. Original AC/heat car, but needs compresser and evaperater to complete. The heater needs hoses ran back to heater core.
Bad: horn does not work, fuel gauge does not work. could use front tires and maybe an alignment, and the head gaskets. I started to build a 427 to put back in this car but got to far in dollar wise.
If I was not military and moving every 2 years I would hold onto this, but I do not want to dish out 4000 for a trailer to drag it around the country
video leaks to attempt at showing the slight fumes from head gaskets. It is really hard to see but I am an honest man and want it to be clear that it runs fine but not always easy to see. I can have the head gaskets installed for an additional $600 if you chose.

Opel pulls out of Russia, GM to focus on Cadillac, 'iconic' Chevys
Wed, Mar 18 2015General Motors is going to realign its priorities in the struggling Russian marketplace, withdrawing its Opel brand and pulling out mainstream Chevrolet models. Instead, the General will take aim at Russia's well-established oligarchy, pushing Cadillac as well as "iconic" Chevrolet models, like the Corvette, Camaro and Tahoe. "This change in our business model in Russia is part of our global strategy to ensure long-term sustainability in markets where we operate," GM president Dan Ammann said in a statement. "This decision avoids significant investment into a market that has very challenging long-term prospects." Russian customers interested in an Opel or mainstream Chevys like the Spark, Aveo (the US market Sonic), Cobalt (shown above), Cruze, Orlando and the like have until December to snap up a car before the brands are pulled. "We do not have the appropriate localization level for important vehicles built in Russia and the market environment does not justify a major investment to further localize." Opel Group CEO Karl-Thomas Neumann said. GM will continue to offer service to customers in Russia. "We can assure our customers that we will continue to provide warranty, parts and services for their Chevrolet and Opel vehicles," Neumann said. Beyond realigning its brands in Russia, GM also announced that it would also be idling the company's factory in the country's second-largest city, St. Petersburg. This is the second time the St. Petersburg factory has been in the news – GM announced that it'd be idled for roughly two months back in February. Scroll down for the official press release from GM. GM to Change Business Model in Russia 2015-03-18 Focus on Cadillac and iconic Chevrolet vehicles Wind down Opel brand and sale of mainstream Chevrolet cars Idle GM Auto manufacturing facility in St. Petersburg Part of GM's strategy to ensure long-term sustainability in global markets DETROIT – General Motors today announced plans to change its business model in Russia. GM will focus on the premium segment of the Russian market with Cadillac and U.S.-built iconic Chevrolet products such as the Corvette, Camaro and Tahoe. The Chevrolet brand will minimize its presence in Russia and the Opel brand will leave the market by December 2015. "This change in our business model in Russia is part of our global strategy to ensure long-term sustainability in markets where we operate," said GM President Dan Ammann.
A conversation with GM's Mark Reuss on MPG, aluminum and Corvettes
Wed, Feb 19 2014There was plenty to talk about when General Motors hosted its annual mid-December holiday media reception a few months ago. GM had just decided to pull its global Chevrolet brand out of major European markets, where Chevys have competed directly with GM Europe Opel and Vauxhall vehicles, and the US government had sold its last remaining shares of GM stock. But most important was the company's just-reshuffled leadership. Post-bankruptcy CEO Dan Akerson had announced that he would step aside and that 52-year-old Mary Barra would replace him on January 15. Not only would she be the first woman to lead a major automaker, she would also be GM's first engineer CEO since Bob Stempel in the early 1990s. "I look at 2013 and 2014, as the retooling of General Motors" - Mark Reuss Replacing her as executive VP for global product development (and purchasing and supply chain) would be 49-year-old Mark Reuss, who had served a stellar four years as North American president, and elevated to corporate president (from executive VP and CFO) would be 42-year-old Dan Amman. All three are relatively young auto enthusiasts who are liked and respected inside and outside the company, and their collective talents and experience are highly complementary. I've interviewed Barra and found her smart, personable and knowledgeable, though she carefully walks the corporate line in speaking and answering questions. I met and chatted with Ammann for the first time at that holiday reception, and he made a good first impression. But I've known Reuss for some time as a genuinely good guy and a highly capable and inspiring leader, and I believe he is exactly the right person for the global product responsibility once famously held by the outspoken, oft-controversial Bob Lutz. So I jumped at an opportunity to join a group interview of Reuss (with mostly business reporters) at the Detroit Auto Show in January. It was an interesting session of mostly good questions, which he answered with refreshing candor and humor. "I look at 2013 and 2014, as the retooling of General Motors," Reuss said. "We've taken down almost every plant in North America, converted and turned it this last year, and to do that with award-winning vehicles and pretty flawless launches is key. We have to keep the train rolling on great product, because the rest won't happen without the best product, period." A reporter asked whether GM was pushing big trucks, SUVs and Corvettes again because gas is cheap. "No," Reuss said.
GM recalls 200k Hummer H3s for fire risk
Thu, Jul 9 2015An issue with fires erupting in some Hummers has prompted General Motors and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to issue a recall for nearly 200,000 vehicles around the world. The bulk of them are in the United States. According to the first statement (below) obtained by Autoblog from GM, the issue stems from the HVAC system in Hummer H3 models. The connector module for the blower motor has, in certain cases, overheated, melted the surrounding plastic, and started a fire. 42 such cases have been reported, including three instances of occupants citing minor burns. GM confirms that two of those three cases lead to the vehicle being destroyed in the fire, but states that no crashes or fatalities have resulted. The issue affects 196,379 examples of the 2006-10 H3 wagon and the 2009-10 H3T pickup, with 164,993 estimated to be in the United States. In order to fix the issue, dealers are being instructed to replace the relevant parts of the connector and harness. In a second, unrelated campaign, GM is also calling in 50,731 Chevy Spark and Sonic small cars – 45,785 of them in the US – due to a software glitch. In those affected vehicles fitted with the base radio and OnStar system, the audio system may not be able to switch out of turn-by-turn direction mode, causing the display to go blank and all sound to mute – including key safety warnings. In addition, the system may not switch off, draining the battery. GM states that no crashes, injuries, or fatalities have resulted from this issue, and all that dealers will need to do in this case is reflash the software. Related Video: General Motors is recalling 164,993 2006-2010 model year HUMMER H3 and 2009-2010 model year HUMMER H3T models in the U.S. In certain vehicles, the connector module that controls the blower motor speed in the heat/vent/air conditioning (HVAC) system may overheat under extended periods of operation at high- and medium-high speeds. The heat could melt the plastic surrounding the connector module, increasing the risk of a fire. Dealers will replace the affected portion of the connector and harness. GM is aware of three reported minor burns and 42 fires but no crashes or fatalities related to this condition. Including Canada, Mexico and exports, the total recall population is 196,379. ### General Motors is recalling 45,785 2014-2015 model year Chevrolet Sparks, and 2015 model year Chevrolet Sonics in the U.S.
