"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. |

Thanks for keeping us on our toes, Detroit Auto Show [w/poll]
Wed, Jan 14 2015Here at Autoblog, we love unexpected debuts at auto shows – and judging by our Detroit Auto Show comments and traffic, you do, too. Surprise reveals have been fewer and farther between in recent years with so many ways for vehicles to be teased or leak out, but this week's show has been a revelation. More to the point, it's been a series of revelations, with automakers from around the globe successfully delivering a brace of concept and production surprises. It's made our jobs a lot more exciting and challenging this week, and even though it's actually more work to react and run-and-gun when the sheet is pulled on a surprise reveal than it is to publish an already-written embargoed story, we've had more fun covering this show for you than any domestic show in memory. We hope you've enjoyed the surprises along with us. To that end, borrowing the words of an unnamed automaker PR flack, we'd like to thank the following automakers for enduring "mountain of antacids" and that "creeping sense of paranoia" necessary to keeping ones' wares totally under wraps until the sheets are pulled off the sheetmetal: Buick Avenir concept Chevrolet Bolt concept Ford GT concept Ford Mustang Shelby GT350R Ford F-150 SVT Raptor Hyundai HCD-15 Santa Cruz concept And while we're at it, we'd like to throw in an shout-out to Detroit's substantially revised and revitalized Cobo Center, and in particular, the redone Michelin media center, which is arguably the single best accommodations for writing show stories that we've encountered on the entire international circuit. Well done, everyone. Thank you, and keep the surprises coming. Auto News Detroit Auto Show Buick Chevrolet Ford Hyundai Volvo 2015 Detroit Auto Show
Audi S4 drivers are the most accident-prone, insurance report says
Sun, Jun 25 2023Culling data from more than 4.6 million automobile insurance applications, researchers at the Insurify insurance comparison marketplace picked a winner — or more to the point, a loser — in its determination of the car model with the most accidents so far in 2023: the Audi S4. Why does the sporty, luxury-class German sedan rank so high (or so low)? The organization found that S4 drivers, piloting a car with almost 350 horsepower, are among those who collect the most speeding tickets, and that they get into accidents at a rate 54 percent higher than the national average. If the S4 isnÂ’t a surprise with an at-fault accident rate of 11.7 percent, consider the “family friendly” brand that appears three times on the Insurity list: Subaru. It is represented by three models, including the turbocharged WRX and XV Crosstrek, and at the better-performing bottom of the list, the Subaru Impreza, with an accident rate of 10.3 percent. In 2023, 7.6 percent of U.S. drivers were involved in at least one at-fault accident in the prior seven years. For drivers of cars on this list, the average at-fault accident rate was 10.5 percent, meaning these drivers are 1.4 times as likely to have an at-fault accident on record. According to its statement, the Insurity data science team explored key safety features, driver behavior, and Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) evaluations to pinpoint possible reasons behind these carsÂ’ high accident rates. Following is the list, counting down to the models with most reported accidents: 10. Subaru Impreza (percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.3 percent; MSRP base model): $19,795) 9. Kia Niro (percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.4 percent; MSRP base model): $26,590) 8. Chevrolet Silverado LD (percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.4%, MSRP base model): $34,500) 7. Subaru XV Crosstrek (percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.5 percent, MSRP 6. Subaru WRX.(percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.7% MSRP base model): $29,605) 5. Toyota GR86 (percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.8 percent MSRP base model): $29,900) 4. Hyundai Veloster N (percentage of drivers with a prior at-fault accident on record: 10.9 percent; MSRP base model): $32,500) 3.
