"1966 Chevy Impala Fastback At No Reserve" on 2040-cars
Prattville, Alabama, United States
|
"1966 IMPALA 2 DOOR COUPE AT NO RESERVE READY FOR SOME TLC" I have been given the opportunity to sell this little gem by the current owner who received the car in a trade just recently. The condition of the car is based on a test drive and visual inspection of the vehicle by me and the little bit of info I could get from the current owner. The car comes with a bill of sale only, Alabama does not issue titles on vehicles older than 1976. The car is has a period correct 327ci V8 that starts quick and runs very well with no noises, ticks or rattles. The oil and filter have been changed within last 2 weeks and no oil, water or trans leaks were detected. Neither I or the current owner know if it is the original drive train in the car and we don't know what the mileage is. The odometer reads 22486. The turbo 350 3sp automatic shifts smooth and has no slippage or hesitation, the fluid is clean and pink. The Impala drives just like a 1966 vehicle should and goes down the road fairly strait and true. I did not inspect the underside of the car on a lift but the suspension worked well and I didn't hear or feel any noises or squeaks. The brakes are a little touchy due to having drums on all four corners that could use some adjusting but the car stopped correctly and strait. The body is where we have some work to do. For the most part it is strait and sports a maroon metal flake paint job that looks as if it was done on the cheap. The body work, if you can call it that was done very quickly with the use of lots of bondo in the area between the back glass and the trunk. I have provided pictures of the area affected. The rest of the car looks to be solid and has no areas of rust that I could see and the frame is solid as well. The bumpers are in very good condition. The interior is pretty spartan and in need of the carpet, headliner, sail panels, window cranks and arm rests. The door panels are home made and the seats looks to be possibly original but the front one needs recovering. The floor pans as you can see in the pictures are starting to rust thru with some dime or smaller size holes. The trunk is not as bad and the rust is isolated to the corners. Most of the interior trim is in the trunk but I haven't done an inventory to see what might be missing. The gauges and dash are complete but the speedo does not work and I don't know if any of the idiot lights work either. There is a temp gauge under the dash that works and it didn't go above 190 on the test drive. The current owner has installed a new gas tank within the last 2 weeks and the fuel gauge does work. The headlights, turn signals and running lights all work as they should. Overall this Impala is in average to above average condition given its age and the fact that it is still a running and driving vehicle. It doesn't appear to have any leaks or major issues and can be driven as is. The car is in need of a new home and owner that will give it some love and attention. The 2dr coupes are getting harder to find and I just know there is someone out there that has a desire to be able to drive this little project and work on it at the same time. Think about the potential of this Impala, rat rod or hot rod a little imagination is all it takes. The Impala is being sold with no warranties written or implied and all sales are as is where is but, If for any reason you as the buyer feel that I have deceived you in any way in this description. Upon delivery by myself or you picking the vehicle up. I will refund your deposit minus any fuel cost and we will go our ways with no questions asked. I can deliver the Impala anywhere in the lower 48 states for $1.25 per loaded mile on an open trailer and $1.50 per loaded mile in enclosed. Please fell free to ask questions or request more pictures. I am also interested in trades and open to cash offers. Bid to win and good luck. |

General Motors Recall List
Wed, Oct 22 2014It seems General Motors can't go more than a few weeks without issuing a major recall. Since the initial ignition lock recall on February 10, over 25 million vehicles have been recalled for defects. It seems General Motors can't go more than a few weeks without issuing a major recall. Since the initial ignition lock recall on February 10, over 25 million vehicles have been recalled for defects. We used the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recall list to compile a snapshot of all the GM vehicles recalled in the last two months. NHTSA also provides a search engine that allows owners to search for recalls on their vehicle. An automotive company must do everything in their power to notify its customers when a recall is issued on a vehicle. If you own any of the following vehicles and you have questions regarding your car, you can contact Chevrolet at 1-866-694-6546, GMC at 1-866-996-9463, Buick at 1-800-521-7300 and Cadillac at 1-866-982-2339. Or check out General Motor's recall site. Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or go to www.safercar.gov. Here's a brief summery of the other vehicles currently under recall: July 26 – 414,333 cars affected NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V447000 Models under recall: Certain model year 2011-2012 Buick LaCrosse, Regal and Chevrolet Camaro, as well as certain 2010-2012 Cadillac SRX, Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain vehicles, equipped with power height adjustable driver and passenger seats. Problem: In the affected vehicles, the bolt that secures the driver's and passenger's power front seat height adjuster may fall out causing the seat to drop suddenly to the lowest vertical position. Consequence: If the driver's seat unexpectedly drops, the distraction and altered seat position may affect the drivers' control of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. Solution: Dealers will replace the height adjuster shoulder bolts, free of charge. July 14 – 16,939 cars affected NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V341000 Models under recall: Certain model year 2011 Cadillac CTS vehicles manufactured October 18, 2010, to June 2, 2011. Problem: In the affected vehicles, vibrations from the drive shaft may cause the vehicle's roll over sensor to command the roof rail air bags to deploy. Consequence: If the roof rail air bags deploy unexpectedly, there is an increased risk of crash and injury to the occupants.
Surprise! GM putting aluminum in next-gen pickups
Wed, Aug 5 2015Last month, General Motors launched a series of ads touting the benefits of steel over aluminum – specifically, with regard to the Chevy Silverado versus the Ford F-150. (Kind of. We're not sure what a grizzly bear has to do with anything.) We took issue with the ads, with editor in chief Mike Austin saying they "reek of insecurity, and distract from the Silverado's strengths that could be used for positive advertising." But what bothers us more, is that yet another report surfaced claiming anti-aluminum GM will indeed use the weight-saving material in its next-generation fullsize trucks. On Tuesday, GM announced a $877-million investment for its truck plant in Flint, MI. But Reuters says that huge overhaul is because the trucks will use "substantially different equipment than the tools GM uses today." The report specifically states, "People familiar with the company's plans say GM's next-generation pickups and SUVs will make use of various materials, including aluminum and lightweight steel, to shed weight and gain fuel efficiency to meet tougher federal standards." The Silverado already uses a few aluminum components in the engine and hood, and if more widespread use will help GM build its best fullsize trucks ever, then that's great. Honestly, we have no reason to doubt that aluminum will be used in the next Silverado and GMC Sierra. We just hope GM remembers that nothing is ever truly deleted from the bowels of the Internet when it launches the subsequent "look how great aluminum is!" campaign.
