NO RESERVE DON'T WAIT AS CAR IS FOR SALE LOCALLY

Up for your consideration is a great looking and rare American icon, a 1972 Chevrolet Impala 4 Door Sedan!  When was the last time you saw one of these great rides at a local car show or Sunday drive?

This 1972 Impala has 14k miles on it and title indicates actual, it also drives like it.

I will tell you it rides amazing, and the interior has held up well.  This car is presently titled and driven locally without any issues, noises, or rattles.  It is so easy to steer and brake for such a large car – it is a true pleasure to drive!  The car was painted 6 months ago, and she does have some scratches, but nothing that an't be touched up.

Exterior:

As noted, the car was repainted about 6 months ago.  It is a nice repaint and shines very nice. There are some scratches, but clearly nothing major.  It presents very nice and it gets alot of compliments.

These pictures were taken today, 8/28/13 - so one can evaluate for themselves!  There is no rust or rot anywhere on this car.  There are no signs of any accidents or "hidden" patches etc.

The drivers side rear door does not open from the outside, but opens from the inside and does lock.  Most likely the exterior handle is not connecting to the locking mechanism.

All other doors function properly!

The trunk is solid - no rust under the mat.  Take a look at the spare tire, it looks like it was never used and is still with the car!

Underneath:

The car has held up quite well, no accidents, rust, or holes. Truly a well cared for car!

Interior:

The pictures speak for themselves! It is original to the car and is almost perfect.  Note:  The only issue looks like there rear carpet on the passenger side had something spill on it as it it badly discolored and quite frail.  There underlying floor is solid, and not rust. Perhaps at some point in time, there was something stored there?  I do not know.  However, it does have the original floor mat and I normally have it covered.

Documentation:

The car has the original sales invoice from "Hrold Gottsacker Chevrolet, Cadillac Sheboygan Wisconson", dated June 12, 1972, The car was $4185.75!

Engine and Transmission:

The car sounds, drives and shifts great - no slippage noises or concerns.  

Drivability:

Simply put, this car is a pleasure to drive!  It has great acceleration, good braking with no squeaks or pulling.  It is a nice quiet ride!  The steering and suspension is smooth and easy to manage.  I am sure you heard of riding on your living room sofa?  This is the epitome of that! This car is presently registered and insured and is driven around town.  I get a lot of looks, smiles and “thumbs up”!  This car can be used right now and can be taken to local cruise nights.  The good thing?  It is a running / driving car as is – ready for the remainder of summer or those early fall Sunday drives!

Body shop manager stole over $500,000 worth of government trucks and parts

Fri, Jan 27 2017

The US Department of Justice announced yesterday that the manager of a collision and restoration business in Virginia admitted he helped misappropriate and sell vehicles and parts from the State Department. Specifically, he sold 12 Chevrolet Suburbans, a Hummer, and $7,500 worth of tires and wheels. He pled guilty to charges to commit theft of government property and wire fraud. He will likely see 18 to 20 months in prison, a fine of $4,000 to $40,000, and has already agreed to pay restitution of $416,020 and asset forfeiture of the same amount. According to the Department of Justice, the body shop manager, James Ratcliffe, worked with the owner of the business and a State Department official, both unnamed, to obtain the property. It started with the wheels and tires, which were delivered and sold on two occasions, one in 2011 and another in 2012. The trucks came later, and were sold throughout 2011 and 2013. Ratcliffe and the shop owner kept most of the profits, and shared some of the leftovers with the government official. In addition to the vehicles that were sold, the government official also gave Ratcliffe a pair of Suburbans for his own personal use. The Department of Justice estimated the total value of the SUVs at $96,400. In total, the group misappropriated $512,420 worth of property. Related Video:

GM cutting vehicle trim options to save money for electrification

Sun, Mar 1 2020

Information continues to filter out about GM's plans based on comments the automaker made during its Capital Markets Day event in February. GM President Mark Reuss said the company's push to save money by rationalizing the number of build combinations will continue in 2020, carrying on the work done in 2019. As GM Authority covers, last year, the carmaker cut 3,500 components across model lines, a 12% drop in the number of parts it needed to stock in its plants. Reuss used the next-generation Chevolet Equinox and GMC Terrain as examples for more cost efficiencies, saying build possibilities — which include international markets and their options — will be cut by more than 50%, and use more shared parts. "We will reduce total trim levels on Equinox and Terrain from eight to six," Reuss said, "reduce engine variants from 11 to 5, reduce build combinations from more than 200 to less than 100 per program, and see significant cost savings of an already paid-for architecture that took the mass out, helping us self-fund electrification programs." GM will plow a large amount of the money it saves into its ambitious EV program. In 2017, the automaker said it intends to have 20 electric vehicles on the market by the end of 2023, some of which could be shared between brands. An automotive analyst at Seeking Alpha and a piece in Automobile attempted to put specifics to what we should expect. As Automobile points out, the first two EVs in the 20-car program are already on sale, being the Ariv Meld and Ariv Merge eBikes available in Belgium and The Netherlands. We've seen the Cruise Origin autonomous rideshare taxi, although we don't know when it will hit the road. The next three, which we should see in the metal shortly, are two Cadillac EVs and the GMC Hummer EV pickup. The Cadillac pair are expected to be sized like the XT4 and XT5, and along with the Hummer, should hit the market starting in late 2021.

Junkyard Gem: 1986 Chevrolet Sprint Plus

Fri, Jun 16 2023

General Motors sold second- and third-generation Suzuki Cultuses with Geo or Chevrolet Metro badging in the United States from 1989 through 2001 model years, and we've all seen plenty of those cars on the street over the years. The first-generation Cultus was sold here as well, with Chevrolet Sprint badges, and I've found a rare example of the Sprint five-door hatchback in a Northern California car graveyard. The Chevy Sprint first appeared on the West Coast as a 1985 model, then became available everywhere in the United States for the 1986 through 1988 model years (in Canada, it was sold as the Pontiac Firefly). It was available here as a hatchback with three or five doors; for 1986 only, the five-door was badged as the Sprint Plus. Soon enough, The General would be selling many more Asian-built cars with Detroit badges here. Isuzu I-Marks were sold as Chevrolet/Geo Spectrums starting in the 1986 model year, while Daewoo provided the Pontiac LeMans two years later. Under the hood, a 1.0-liter three-cylinder rated at 48 horsepower. The five-door Sprint cost $5,580 in 1986, which was $200 more than the three-door (those prices would be $15,445 and $14,891 in 2023 dollars). I've documented seven discarded Sprints prior to this one (including an extremely rare Turbo Sprint), and all of them were three-doors; we can assume that price was the most important factor for Sprint buyers. Gasoline prices were crashing hard during the middle 1980s, but memories of gas lines and odd-even-day fuel rationing from 1979 remained strong. What cars competed with the '86 Sprint on sticker price? Well, there was no way to undercut the hilariously affordable (and terrible) Yugo GV, which cost $3,990. The much bigger (but still pretty bad) Hyundai Excel listed at $4,995, while Toyota would sell you a sturdy (but zero-fun) Tercel starting at $5,448. Even the wretched Chevy Chevette — yes, it was still available in 1986 — cost $5,645. The original buyer of this car was willing to shell out an extra $395 to get an automatic instead of the base five-speed manual. That's about $1,093 in today's money. This car must have been slow. By the end, the doors were held shut with duct tape, but it still stayed alive until age 37. 53 miles per gallon on the highway! It does everything. The camels of the highway.
