She was born in 1970 and was purchased new by a woman from a dealer in California and was off to its destination of Nampa Idaho. This car was ordered by her with the right options including the following . 454 Turbo -jet engine with 345 H.P Turbo 400 transmission , power steering and power Disc brakes, This car was always babied by her she changed the oil every 3 k miles and always maintained it when it needed service . I have most of all the service records from her ownership. She drove the car through the 70's and 80's into the early 90's and then it was parked and sat for 10 years until the car was finally offered for sale to the second owner who is 70 years old today . He was searching hard to find a big block car and found one word of mouth. When he flew to Idaho to see the car he knew immediately that this was the car for him. It was completely rust free and all original in every way. The trunk was original and looked like new and still till today it remains the same and looks like new. All the metal was original and no rust anywhere. The paint was a little faded and to him it was something he was anxious to tackle and bring this awesome Impala back to looking like she did when she was Born. He had the fenders ,hood and doors taken off the car. They were blocked and sanded and painted the Original Color which is Green Mist. The rear of the car was then painted and also the trunk was removed to make the car perfect and not have any edges or tape lines . Everything was removed and it was done right. it cost him nearly 4 k to paint the car and install new seals and the bumpers were removed and re chromed and look brand new. This car was painted 8 years ago and still to this day it looks amazing and shines like a show car. The Interior is all original and in show condition as well. The carpets are new, headliner, dash and he upgraded the original radio to a period correct looking radio but its digital when it turn on . I still have the Original dash and radio they come with the car. Inside the car everything works. Ice cold AC. hot heat, am /fm Cassette. All the seat belts are functional and in place. The seats are firm and look brand new, The windshield wipers work perfect as well as do all the dash lights and outside lights. Now for the Monster laying under the hood . Chevy made 14,280 454 LS 4 cars in 1970. out of those you would be lucky to find 10% still in existence . The 512 Engine notes it being a big block car and it was made in the Tonawanda plant .The engine is all original and never been rebuilt or detailed . I decided to leave it original to show its beautiful state. Its very easy to dress up the engine compartment .  It still has the original carbs breathers etc. The only thing that isn't original is the alternator. The Original  air cleaner is in excellent condition and still has the original stickers on it. I did purchase a new 454 sticker and it will come with the car. The power in this car is incredible. It has monster power and sounds very mean.  Underneath the car you will find a complete new exhaust with flow master mufflers. It has a very nice growl. The under carriage is rust free and very solid. The frame is solid and was undercoated , Suspension is tight and brakes are like new. The tires have about 3000 miles on them and have plenty of tread left. The car sits on beautiful rally wheels that are pristine . I have the original wheels with tires still mounted on them and the center caps. I drove this car home from Alabama where I purchased it from the second owner. It was a awesome ride and 800 miles of pure enjoyment. Everywhere i stopped I was asked what year is the car. Is it original ? Is it really a 454 ? does it really have AC? and my answer was yes to all . This is a Original Numbers matching car , Documented 2 owners , Original window sticker , books service history ,and I even have the Original Title with the woman's name on it who was the First owner. This car is Truly Rare and will only go up in value . To find a 1970 impala 454 345 H.P car with original matching numbers Only 1 repaint and all original metal is RARE. I have had many classic cars and drove the best of them . But this one truly is special in the attention its gets from everyone. I think I am pricing this car very fair. There are a lot of impala's around but not many 454 big block car and this original someone will get an amazing car and be able to drive it and be proud to take it to shows. I can take more pictures if anyone requests them . Please call me with any questions you might have I will end the auction if I get a good offer . But click the buy it now I don't think you will find a better 70 impala out there. Steve 954-464-3515 


P.S When I drove the car home I noticed the front end was a little sloppy. It needed a New center link . I am having the front end completely  redone  with new alignment and ball joints and polyurethane bushings. So the car will be tight and ready to go. 


I took time decoding the car. here is what the numbers equated too. T = Tonawanda plant 02 = month it was produced 16 is the Day CGV is the engine suffix code and lastly the 10C1517 shows the 517 engine which is the 454 These numbers are on the block and match the vin # . I also have a Bill of sale from the second Owner Documenting the car to be a 2 owner car and all numbers matching. It was signed and Notarized.

Experimental mid-engine XP-819 Corvette going up for auction

Sun, 17 Feb 2013

It seems to be commonplace that when a new Corvette is in development, rumors swirl about a possible mid-engine layout. As is the case of Chevy's most recent C7 Corvette, these rumors never pan out.
In any case, the idea for a 'Vette with an engine mounted behind the driver can probably all be traced back to a single car, the 1964 XP-819 prototype. Built as an "engineering exercise" back in 1964, the prototype was designed with a rear-mounted engine. History tells us that the idea of a rear-engine Corvette fizzled, and the XP-819 was eventually cut up into pieces and stored at a shop in Daytona Beach, FL.
After sitting for untold years, a restoration project started on the car, and while it isn't yet fully completed, the current owner of the car, Mid America Motorworks, will have the car on display at the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance as a "driveable chassis" with hopes of having a fully completed car ready to bring to next year's show.

A car writer's year in new vehicles [w/video]

Thu, Dec 18 2014

Christmas is only a week away. The New Year is just around the corner. As 2014 draws to a close, I'm not the only one taking stock of the year that's we're almost shut of. Depending on who you are or what you do, the end of the year can bring to mind tax bills, school semesters or scheduling dental appointments. For me, for the last eight or nine years, at least a small part of this transitory time is occupied with recalling the cars I've driven over the preceding 12 months. Since I started writing about and reviewing cars in 2006, I've done an uneven job of tracking every vehicle I've been in, each year. Last year I made a resolution to be better about it, and the result is a spreadsheet with model names, dates, notes and some basic facts and figures. Armed with this basic data and a yen for year-end stories, I figured it would be interesting to parse the figures and quantify my year in cars in a way I'd never done before. The results are, well, they're a little bizarre, honestly. And I think they'll affect how I approach this gig in 2015. {C} My tally for the year is 68 cars, as of this writing. Before the calendar flips to 2015 it'll be as high as 73. Let me give you a tiny bit of background about how automotive journalists typically get cars to test. There are basically two pools of vehicles I drive on a regular basis: media fleet vehicles and those available on "first drive" programs. The latter group is pretty self-explanatory. Journalists are gathered in one location (sometimes local, sometimes far-flung) with a new model(s), there's usually a day of driving, then we report back to you with our impressions. Media fleet vehicles are different. These are distributed to publications and individual journalists far and wide, and the test period goes from a few days to a week or more. Whereas first drives almost always result in a piece of review content, fleet loans only sometimes do. Other times they serve to give context about brands, segments, technology and the like, to editors and writers. So, adding up the loans I've had out of the press fleet and things I've driven at events, my tally for the year is 68 cars, as of this writing. Before the calendar flips to 2015, it'll be as high as 73. At one of the buff books like Car and Driver or Motor Trend, reviewers might rotate through five cars a week, or more. I know that number sounds high, but as best I can tell, it's pretty average for the full-time professionals in this business.
