- My father loved this car from the second he purchased it 53 years ago. He never let it get dirty; waxed it even when it gleamed and never let anyone in it who didn't go through a dirt check on their shoes.
- When he entered the Navy in 1968 he drove it from Roseburg, Oregon to Pensicola, Florida for Flight School. He took a picture in October of '68 when the odometer flipped over the hundred thousand mark. (see photo). During his tour of VietNam he had it garaged back in Oregon awaiting his return. He kept a picture of it during his tour and had an artist in Hong Kong paint an original oil on canvas (see photo) which he hung in his house on base.
- From 1972 until his passing in 2009 it was his Sunday driver. During those 37 years he only drove it 24,000 miles. It stayed covered and garaged, waxed and loved and every year he would drive it in the local Graffiti Night Parade (see photo).
- I feel it is my obligation to find a home for this special car. A home where somebody will appreciate it like he did. Somebody who understands what a true original 1960 Impala really means and how valuable and rare this car truly is.
- Because it still has the original paint there are a few rock chips on the edge of the hood and some gentle swirl marks from a thousand waxes. Perhaps a brand new paint job would bring more money but it would loose that originality that makes the car what it is. And it's a special feeling when you sit in it and know that it looks the same as when it sat on the showroom floor.
- This is a true One-Of-A-Kind from a man who could love a car as much as car could be loved.
- Happy Bidding!

Watch this creative way to pull a truck's engine
Fri, 08 Mar 2013Living in an apartment complex has its benefits, but for shade-tree mechanics who like/need to work on their own cars, it definitely has a number of disadvantages. Relatively simple tasks such as brake jobs and oil changes are difficult when you don't have dedicated driveway space, to say nothing of more in-depth repairs... like pulling an engine, for example.
For these types of challenges, a little ingenuity and plenty of muscle are needed to get the job done. Scroll down to watch these four men snatch the V8 out of a Chevrolet K1500 using nothing but a chain, landscape timber and good ol' fashioned brute strength. Good work, gentlemen.
Experimental mid-engine XP-819 Corvette going up for auction
Sun, 17 Feb 2013It 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.
New Chevrolet Silverado to be revealed on Facebook on Thursday
Tue, 11 Dec 2012There's not much to see here, but if you're one of those waiting for the reveal of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, above is the teaser image that Chevrolet posted on its Facebook page. We've seen the truck in form-fitting camo before, and even less can be made out here beyond those seriously punchy Silverado-esque fenders and the knowledge that the projector-beam headlamps teased previously do indeed work. We'll have to wait until Thursday for a full perusal of the "bold exterior design" and "careful attention given to every detail" we've been promised.
Gathering intel and rumors, magnesium and aluminum contribute to the Silverado's weight loss plan, the purported "High Country" top-tier trim will contribute to luxury pickup truck competition and profit margins and the next-generation small-block V8 will contribute to improved fuel economy. On the engine note, there have been rumors of available V6 engines, and when Facebook user John Jones asked "Where's your answer to that EcoBoost Chevy?", the Bowtie replied "stay tuned on the 13th. We think you'll be pleased...".
Along with the "Raise the Bar" tag, Chevrolet says of the Silverado, "You asked, we delivered." You can watch the reveal live on Chevrolet's Facebook page at 9:30 am EST, this Thursday, December 13. The GMC Sierra 1500 will also be there, and we'll see both in person at the Detroit Auto Show in January.
