70 Chevy Impala up for auction for fun driving as is or a good restoration candidate. We purchased car locally with the intention to sell, as my son is a mopar man and his goal is a mopar muscle car. If you have a mopar to trade, let's talk. For you looking to buy, here's the info: We bought car because it was too good of a deal to pass up. It could not be driven when bought, but It had only a couple of mechanical issues that we fixed. It had been stored under trees for a long time, so it was UGLY when we first saw it, but we could see it just needed a little TLC to make it a fun daily driver:
- 350 4bbl enginewith good center dump exhaust manifolds. No rattles, or knocking..drives nicely with plenty of power.
- Power: steering, brakes, windows, locks, SEAT! All work well. A/C is all there except no belt. Never worked on it, so no other info.
- Automatic transmission, no slips or leaks...works good.
- Vinyl top is good condition for age. Small pull-away in one rear corner, but no rips, shines up nicely, no soft spots or evidence of rust trouble underneath.
- Paint: has been repainted sometime in it's life, as well there is evidence of bondo around wheel openings. On restoration, it's all gotta be fixed anyway, as there is rust repair needed on lower back quarters...lower patch panels would be sufficient. Current paint shines, looks nice for those wanting to drive now.
- TILT steering wheel.
- Original am/fm slide-bar radio there and working. No cut-up dash to repair. Dash pad is good shape, shines with only one crack.
- Dual exhaust, no leaks.
- Rocker panels solid, see pics. Floors solid, Frame straight. Hood has a couple small rust holes, but should be repairable. Trunk lid straight. Doors usable. For restoration, front fenders, rear quarters, and back bumper the major areas needing repair.
- Interior: padding gone under driver. We put towel in hole, feels fine to drive. Seats original, usable for now but will need repair for restore. Carpet original, torn up on front passenger floor. Covered up by floor mat.
- Repairs: New Alternator & regulator, LF upper A repaired, new battery. person we bought car from couldn't keep battery up. Problem fixed. Drive it daily for fun now. NEW REAR BRAKES! Front brakes working fine. Car can lock 'em up if needed.
- From pics, you can see two previous fender benders. Got hit in rear, will need new bumper and back lower panel. Back lower panel comes with car. Previous owners painted the damaged bumper black. Damage did not get into trunk area, trunk lid is straight as shown. RR quarter some damage, might be repairable not needing replacement. Frame is OK. Left front, fender needs replaced but it appears the only damage to front bumper is dent in corner, see pic. For a minor restoration front bumper is nice, not rusted, shiny...can be used.
- Car has "Comfortron" automatic temperature control, operated by a number of electric servos. We could not get the blower motor to run, so we wired a toggle switch. Blower runs now, so you have good heat and defrost. The selector between defrost, heat, air works. Again, Compressor not hooked up for A/C.
- Original Rally Wheels & Trim all there, shiny and usable. Tires almost new...lots of life left.
- Suspension, back seems fine, front is a bit loose, to be expected in a survivor, but drivable.
- Can you drive it home? YES!! Remember it's age and being original, but it's driving nicely for us locally with no problems, so it should be fine for a trip home.
Reserve is LOW, car will definitely sell, so bid with buying in mind. No deposit requested, just bring your cash and get car w/i 7 days of purchase please. I've shared everything I can think of, but am happy to answer all your questions. Thanks for looking, and good luck with your bid!

Watch the live reveal of the 2014 Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra [UPDATE]
Thu, 13 Dec 2012UPDATE: The trucks have been revealed. Click here for all of the official details.
As promised, Chevrolet and GMC are offering a live webcast of the world premiere for the all-new 2014 Silverado 1500 and Sierra 1500. After being teased with spy shots and blurry images like the one above for ages, now is the time to see the trucks in the metal, for real (well, as 'real' as it gets on a webcast, at any rate).
Shift your eyes down just below to see the reveal as it happens, starting at 9:30 AM EST. We anticipate having loads of images full technical information to share after the webcast, too, so truck aficionados should stay tuned. We'll also be bringing you live images of both trucks too, when we see them on the show floor at next month's Detroit Auto Show.
2014 Chevrolet C7 Corvette wastes no time zooming into Jay Leno's Garage
Thu, 24 Jan 2013Where else would you expect the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray to show up first? Although this time it isn't exactly in Jay Leno's Garage, Leno instead playing an away game at Brown's Classic Auto in Scottsdale, Arizona. Nor does Leno drive the car, instead taking an 11-minute walkaround of the new American sports car with General Motors design head Ed Welburn, the same man who recently brought by a string of classic Corvettes to the talk show host's California compound.
It is, admittedly, a love-fest for the American sports car now featuring 450 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque, but one that also features admissions about previous Corvette seats like "they were kinda rough," and the explanation that labeling the coupe "Stingray" means not having to call it "the base Corvette." On top of that, Welburn also explains the proper application of the term "dashboard." You can watch it all in the video below.
5 classic trucks and their polarizing modern revivals
Sun, Mar 3 2024EVs are helping eliminate Detroit's gas-guzzling problem. Some revivals of gas-powered classics are getting the EV treatment. But not every revived model looks exactly like its original counterpart. We're in a new era of hulking Detroit metal, and you can thank EVs. Americans can't get enough of their big, beefy trucks and SUVs. But for many years, some of the biggest gas guzzlers fell out of fashion as gas prices rose and emissions regulations tightened. But in the past few years, some of the most iconic American truck nameplates have been brought back to life with electric motors, like the GMC Hummer. In other cases, as with the Ford Bronco, improvements in engine technology and more interest in rugged adventure vehicles made a gas-powered revival possible. Even some revivals that started as gas-powered, like the Chevy Blazer and the Jeep Wagoneer, are now getting electrified spinoffs. (Even if they don't always look quite as sleek as their original inspiration.) Here are side-by-sides of five classic American trucks and their modern counterparts. The Jeep Wagoneer 1975 Jeep Wagoneer and 2024 Electric Jeep Wagoneer SStellantis After a long wait, Jeep released its revival of the classic Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer in 2020. Starting later this year, an electric version of the luxury Jeep SUV will join the Wagoneer lineup. The Chevrolet Blazer A 1973 Chevrolet Blazer and a 2024 Chevrolet Blazer EVGetty Images, General Motors The Chevrolet Blazer was first rebooted in 2019 as a sporty family SUV. The modern Blazer shares zero resemblance to its boxy, off-roading older sibling, but it has still managed to become one of Chevy's more popular SUVs in recent years. The Blazer EV came later, and was one of the first models GM built on its new Ultium battery platform. The Hummer A Hummer H2 and the 2023 Hummer EV pickup truckGetty Images, General Motors Once the poster child for Detroit's big, bad gas guzzlers, the Hummer got new life as an electric pickup truck in 2021. The Ford Bronco A 1971 Ford Bronco and a 2022 Ford BroncoFord Motor Co. After a rouge group of engineers and designers inside Ford spent years trying to breathe life back into the Blue Oval's boxy off-roader, the Ford Bronco was finally resurrected in 2020 amid a rise in popularity for rugged adventure vehicles.
