1995 Chevrolet Impala SS

Where do I begin...well, let me begin by saying don't buy a toy car without speaking to your wife first...it gets messy!  I have wanted one of these cars since they came out.  I found this one with a bad engine at a good price, so I bought it as a toy to fix up and drive...WELL, my early Christmas present to myself did not go over well with the other half.  I have done an INCREDIBLE ammount of work on the car since buying it, but to bring a sense of peace back to my house; I have decided to sell it.  There is more in the car than I am asking for it...not including my labor...so my loss is your gain.

When I purchased the car, it had spent most of its life in Tennesse, so it is not like many of the rusted out midwest cars you see.  It is a very solid car.  It had a blown engine, so I had to have it transported up to my shop.  That alone was $600, but what I paid for the car initially, it was worth it for a solid rust-free car.  It arrived and I pulled the engine out of the car. When I opened it up, it was clear that it would be cheaper and easier to get another one.  The previous owner had the engine replaced with what they told him was a low mileage LT1, trust me when I say, that was not the case...it was pretty worn out by the time it made it to the car from the looks of things...it easily had over 2 turns on it.  I scouted and found a low mileage LT1 out of an actual Impala SS (not an old squad), with 69,000 miles on it.  I had it shipped to my shop and began the transplant.  In the process, I made sure that things were done correctly...after all I did not have any intentions of selling the car anytime soon.  I replaced vacuum lines, plug wires, oil cooler lines, radiator, plugs, thermostat...etc to make sure it was going to be good for a long time.  I also hooked up a manual oil pressure gauge to it when I put it in the car to verify good PSI...it held 55 at a cold idle and 40-45 at a warm idle.


It runs quiet and smooth with no knocks, ticks, or funny noise.

I have driven the car about 35 miles since completing the work.  It drives nicely and is very 'spirited' for a large car.  I was pleasantly impressed with the performance.  The car is not currently registered or insured, so it has been parked in my garage.  I had to move it out this weekend, that is what prompted me to sell it.  I don't want it to sit outside.  I would like someone to enjoy the car.

I do not have pictures of the interior, but I will take them tonight and post them this evening.

The car is a driver and not a show car.  Paint shines nicely, but it has small door dings to be associated with an everyday driver.  There are a couple of areas to note...these were there when I purchased the car.  It has the original wheels that are not all pitted...no notable curb rash either.  I have 4 brand new Z rated tires.  I mounted 2 on the front when I had it aligned, but the rears on the car are not that old, so I kept the other two as replacement...they will go with the car to make a matched set of 4.  I have tried to take pictures to show the major flaws:

  • There is a ding in the hood just above the passenger headlight...it looks like a large rock ding.
  • There is some faint spider cracking in driver's front bumper with a small paint chip...looks like the previous owner might have bumped something in a parking lot.
  • There is a scuff on the passenger quarter panel...looks like he got too close to something
  • It looks like the roof was re-clear coated at some point as the finish is not perfect, but it shines like it should (trying to disclose everything I am aware of)

Here is what has been done to the car as well as what is included with the sale:

  • Installed replacement LT1 out of an actual Impala SS-69,000 miles
  • Brand new radiator
  • Brand new oil cooler lines
  • 4 brand new "Z" rated tires-2 mounted on the front other two in the trunk (the rear tires on the car don't look that old, so I did not swap them out...tires come with the car)
  • Professionally aligned
  • Transmission serviced with new fluid and filter
  • Rear Differential serviced-fluid changed with limited slip additive
  • New thermostat and coolant
  • New sway bar links
  • New spark plugs and wires
  • New exhaust gaskets
  • Custom exhaust with 'turbo style' mufflers and chrome tips at the rear bumper
  • Includes a car cover
  • Includes a brand new K&N cold air intake, still in the box

Here are the items that still need attention to the best of my knowledge:

  • Needs new hood release cable
  • AC need recharging...I drained it when I replaced the engine and did not re-fill
  • Starter seems weak...it works fine, but every now and then it clicks after sitting...release the key and it cranks the next time...just don't want you to have any surprises
  • Instrument cluster is flaky, sometimes the mileage shows 022,xxx instead of 122,xxx and the oil psi does not read accurately...this is a common issue with the digital dash clusters as I understand it.

I have included quite a bit of information in this listing, but I would rather someone know exactly what they are getting.  I have not owned the car very long and there might be things that I have missed.  I encourage you to come and inspect the car yourself before buying...that is the best way to get any and all questions answered.  I believe what I am asking for the car is very fair...it is less than what is in the car.  I would be open to REASONABLE offers...please don't waste my time or yours with low balling offers.

All of this being said, the car is sold absolutely as is and where is and shown.  There are no guarantees or warranties with the car.  I would accept cash or cashiers check for the balance and require an immediate non-refundable deposit of $500 via paypal at the time of the accepted offer.  I have been burned by people who think winning an auction means they can come out and negotiate the deal.  I am very fair and ask the same.  All sales and accepted offers are final.

Payment in full for the car must be received within 7 days of auction end. If payment in full is not received within 7 days I will re-list it for sale and you will forfeit your deposit.  I would like to have the car picked up within 7 days as well unless other arrangements are made prior to the auction end.  I had to work with shippers to get this car home, so I know that you have to remain flexible. I will work with you and with the shipper within reason.  I am not responsible for any damage on the car after the auction end.  As I indicated earlier in the listing, the car is not currently insured, so you will need to insure it for any damage yourself once the auction is closed.

GM to squeeze out more production capacity for midsize trucks

Tue, May 26 2015

General Motors was predicting a strong showing for the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon before they debuted, and demand among dealers for the midsize trucks even exceeded company's expectations. The positive situation has left GM with a problem, though: finding ways to increase capacity for the pickups at the Wentzville Assembly plant in Missiouri. With a third shift already running, GM has continued to look for ways to build just a few more of the trucks at the plant. The company has plans to hire as many as 1,000 more workers for the Saturday and Sunday shifts to construct an additional 2,000 pickups a month, according to unnamed insiders at the factory speaking to Automotive News. The little adjustments even extend to getting rid of an unpaid break to add 18 minute of assembly time over the course of a day, which equals about 3,500 more vehicles a year. All of this effort comes because the trucks are in such high demand. According to GM's figures, the company has delivered a combined 35,720 units of the Colorado and Canyon from January through April 2015, and the Chevy was the fastest-selling truck in the US for the previous three months. In May, it spent an average of just 12 days in showrooms before being snapped up. And even better for the company, 43 percent of these buyers came from other brands. According to Automotive News, the most popular trade-ins have included the Ford F-150, Toyota Tacoma, and Dodge Dakota. Related Video:

Cadillac XT4 crossover to be built in Kansas City

Mon, Jan 8 2018

Cadillac's upcoming XT4, a crossover we've previously known as the XT3 in a long series of spy shots of heavily camouflaged mules, will be built at General Motors' assembly plant in Kansas City on the same platform as the Chevrolet Malibu, Bloomberg reports, citing people familiar with the plan. That will give Cadillac another entry in the red-hot luxury crossover segment and, GM hopes, help to reverse a sales slump in the U.S. It'll also breath life into the Kansas City plant that makes the slow-selling Malibu, where GM cut a third shift last year, by sharing the assembly line between the crossover and sedan and defraying costs for each vehicle. The XT4 was known most recently as the XT3, with styling cues based on the Escala concept sedan from 2016. It's slightly smaller than the XT5, Cadillac's top-selling vehicle, and will also augment the full-size Escalade in Cadillac's stable of SUVs when it makes its expected debut later this year. Cadillac last week reported its second-highest-ever sales mark with 356,467 vehicles, an increase of 15.5 percent over 2016. But that mark papers over an 8 percent sales decline in the U.S. to 156,440 vehicles. The luxury brand is on a hot streak in China, where sales jumped 50.8 percent last year to 175,489 units.Related Video: Image Credit: Brian Williams Plants/Manufacturing Cadillac Chevrolet GM Crossover sales cadillac xt5 cadillac xt4 cadillac xt3
