Your viewing a three owner, California Black Plate, 40,000 orig mile, 1959 Chevrolet Impala 2 DR Hardtop Sport Coupe dressed in Code 925A Sport Cream with Green interior. It was in California till approx 1994, then sold to a collector in Colorado and remained there until June of 2014. Was in his collection for the last 17 years. Barely driven and always stored in a dry climate controlled garage throughout his ownership. 

It is an all original survivor with the exception of one repaint. It is an older repaint but very high quality and driver quality. The car is arrow straight and all body gaps line up perfectly. Has some touch ups from driving over the years but it shines and shows great for any show you enter it in. It's great from 1 feet, 20 feet or 20 yards away. It is that nice. Every single thing on the car works. It has a new muffler, brakes, starter, fuel sender, and fuel pump. The car runs down the road at 75 MPH like a dream. The engine runs like a Swiss watch and is whisper quiet. The tranny shifts like butter. It has manual brakes and steering. It currently has the wide white bias belt tires on it. They are in decent shape but are aged. A set of Coker Classic wide white radials would be a nice upgrade for drive ability, however the car drives phenomenal now. 

The interior is all original from the carpet to the headliner. The dashboard is mint. All the gauges work as well as the lights, signals, wipers, and heater.  Please look at the pictures in the ad and the attached link. The headliner, visors,  door panels, seats, and package shelf all in amazing shape. 

The under carriage is super clean and rust free. It was undercoated from the dealer and looks amazing. The trunk is all original super solid. It has all the factory paint and primer still in tact. Original cardboard and spare tire and wheel. The trunk mat was replaced but orig comes with car. When you pop the trunk it likes like a time capsule and shows great. There is a bit of surface rust under the mat but I left it there to show the honesty of how original the car truly is. In no way is the trunk rusty. The floor is rock solid. Only cosmetics are needed if you want to detail it out.

Helicopter crashes on Top Gear Korea set while chasing Corvette ZR1

Mon, 11 Feb 2013

The formula of Top Gear Korea is seemingly about the same as it is everywhere else in the world, including the flagship British original: involve interesting cars in fantastical situations with charismatic hosts. That prescription has proved to be pretty reliable over the years, and has lead to some truly memorable and exciting pieces of television.
Something like that was undoubtedly what the Korean producers were after when they lined up this segment - a drag race between a Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 and an AH1 Cobra military helicopter. The planners almost certainly did not expect the filming of the segment to go quite as wrong as it actually did, with the helicopter actually crashing into the dirt after the "drag race" had been completed. Thankfully, we're told that no one was seriously injured in the crash, but the footage, in the video below, is pretty damn chilling to watch, nevertheless.

GM recalling 686k Lambda-platform models for hatch repair

Fri, Jul 10 2015

General Motors is recalling 686,287 units of its Lambda platform crossovers. On models equipped with a power rear hatch the system can potentially fail. This campaign includes the 2008-2012 Buick Enclave, 2009-2012 Chevrolet Traverse, 2007-2012 GMC Acadia, and 2007-2010 Saturn Outlook. According to GM's documents to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (as a PDF), dirt can get into a portion of the strut that holds up the hatch and cause the part to prematurely fail. There's a redundancy in place called the Prop Rod Recovery system that's designed to shut the liftgate if there's a malfunction. However, if the breakdown happens too quickly after the hatch is opened the prop rod might not work the way it's supposed to. If someone were in the way of the falling liftgate, they could be hurt. For the repair, dealers will update the software for the power liftgate actuator motor control unit to prevent the hatch from closing so quickly. They'll also check the operation of the system afterward.

The affected vehicles, equipped with the power liftgate option, have gas struts that hold the power liftgate up when open. These struts may prematurely wear and the open liftgate may suddenly fall. CONSEQUENCE: If the open liftgate unexpectedly falls, it may strike a person, increasing their risk of injury. REMEDY: GM will notify owners, and dealers will update the software for the power liftgate actuator motor control unit so that the motor will prevent the rapid closing of the lift gate, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule.

Chevy Sonic shreds like a skateboard

Tue, 19 Mar 2013

Despite the fact that the 2013 Chevy Sonic is a fun, plucky little thing - especially in ever-so-slightly hotter RS guise - it is not, in fact, a skateboard. But don't tell that to rapper Theophilus London.
In General Motors' latest spot for the Chevrolet compact, London needs to make a quick run to the store for some milk. And even though, once again, the Sonic is not a skateboard, it ollies, pops and gets air because, you know, it's just so much fun to throw around.
If this video looks familiar to you, it's because this is the full ad that we first got a preview of in Chevy's longer, full-line spot, where the brand's "Find New Roads" tagline was introduced. Scroll down to see this dedicated Sonic spot, along with the older ad, and remember, the Sonic is still - still - not a skateboard.
