Rare 1972 Chevy Impala Convertible W/ Bb 402 on 2040-cars

Year:1972 Mileage:200000
Location:

Thornton, Texas, United States

Thornton, Texas, United States

      Vehicle History:  My dad bought this car back in '86 from i believe the original owner.  It was a daily driver for him until about 10 years ago when he pulled it into my grandfathers barn and left it there.  The upholstery has been redone and electronic ignition was  put in.  Other than that it's all original.
     The condition of this car is rough.  The body is straight.  However, there is some rust along the rocker panels near the wheel wells in a few spots.  The paint is still very good.  The interior is gone.  Rodents have set up shop in there so use your imagination.  I tried to take a lot of pictures but I'm not a photographer.  I tried to get close ups of the important areas and any rust I found.   Not sure of the condition of the electrical but I'm gonna imagine it needs work.  The mileage is over 100,000 but not sure exactly what it is.  The odometer is not accurate.  The tires need to be replaced and one wheel cover is missing. It does still have the high lift jack in the trunk though.  It came with factory a/c but the compressor is in the trunk and probably needs to be replaced.  The top needs to be replaced. 
     The thing this car has going for it is it's rarity.  Chevy made 6,456 convertible impalas that year and few of them came with the turbo-jet 402 with dual exhaust.  The engine alone is worth some money.  It came with electric locks and windows and front and rear bench seat. It's a big car with a big engine.
     The car is located in Thornton, Texas.  It is way out in the country so try and figure out what shipping is going to cost before bidding.  The buyer will be responsible for arranging and paying for shipping.  I'll help with arrangements on my end. 
     ****Please ask any questions you have before bidding.  Car is being sold as is with no warranty.*****

Amelia Island 2013: Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray from concepts to split windows

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

While this year marks 60 years of the Chevrolet Corvette, the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance focused on one of the coupe's most sought after models, the 1963 Sting Ray. General Motors design boss Ed Welburn was on hand to show off the all-new C7 Corvette, but even the hard-edged styling of the 2014 Stingray couldn't take away from the beautiful 1963 models sitting out on the field.
In addition to the original Sting Ray and the 1959 Sting Ray Concept, some of the other classic 'Vettes included "Big Tank" racecars, an interesting cutaway coupe, a right-hand-drive Z06 and the attention-grabbing 1963 Corvette Rondine by Pininfarina. Another impressive Corvette was the 1964 Corvette XP-819 rear-engine prototype. Owner Mike Yager had the car finished as a driving chassis for this year's show, but promises the car will be back to its original glory in time for next year's event.

Refreshed 2014 Camaro confirmed for New York debut

Thu, 07 Mar 2013

We've already seen leaked specs and potential spy shots, but the refreshed 2014 Chevrolet Camaro will make its official debut at the New York Auto Show in a few weeks.
Besides a tweaked exterior and the possibility of a high-output LS7 under the hood, we really don't know much else about the 2014 Camaro, but here's hoping for an improved interior, too.
In addition to the refreshed Camaro, Chevrolet will also be showing off the recently introduced Chevrolet SS, making its debut on the auto show circuit, and we'll also get our first look at the C7 Corvette coupe and convertible side-by-side.

First privately owned Corvette Stingray blitzes 1/4 mile in 12.23 at 114.88 mph

Tue, 01 Oct 2013

Chevrolet's latest road rocket, the Corvette Stingray, is a very quick car. If one needs further proof of that, we recommend they take a look at this video from Hennessey of what is claimed to be the first privately owned C7 Corvette to make a pass down the quarter mile. Not just any quarter mile, mind, this black C7 blitzed its way down the tuner's primary testing dragstrip. The Chevrolet ran the quarter in just 12.23 seconds at 114.88 miles per hour. That is a very quick time for a stock car.
Equipped with the Z51 package and a six-speed automatic transmission, not only does the C7 run a solid time, but it does so with little to no drama. That won't last though, as Hennessey will likely return it to its owner with far more power - we just hope they show a drag run of the completed product. Take a look below to watch the C7's 12.23-second run on video.
