"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. |

GM cutting production at two plants
Thu, Feb 26 2015General Motors is continuing to adjust to excess supply of some of its brands' models. To get production more in line with the vehicles' actual demand, the automotive giant is idling two of its factories in North America in the coming months. The Orion Assembly plant is going to be down from March 9-13, according to an anonymous plant worker and another insider speaking to Automotive News. The factory builds the Chevrolet Sonic and Buick Verano, but there are plenty of both models sitting on dealer lots, including 216 days worth of Sonics, according to AN. The factory already had two idle periods announced to reduce the excess. In addition, downtime is scheduled at GM's "Flex" line at the Oshawa, Ontario, Canada, plant from April 13-17. This affects supply of the Chevrolet Camaro, Impala, Buick Regal and Cadillac XTS. Among them, the automotive giant has the largest supply of Regals ready for dealers with 213 days worth of them, according to AN. The future for the whole Oshawa factory is cloudy in general, though. There are rumors that it could close entirely in the future because the Camaro is leaving and the Regal and XTS might not last much longer than 2017. The Canadian government and the labor union there intend to put up a fight, though.

GM reports third straight sales drop in China in 2020
Wed, Jan 6 2021BEIJING — General Motors' vehicle sales in China fell 6.2% in 2020, as the U.S. automaker suffered a prolonged slowdown in the world's biggest auto market. GM, China's second biggest foreign automaker, delivered 2.9 million vehicles in the country last year, the company said on Wednesday, for a third straight decline in annual sales. But sales have been recovering in the second half of last year, up 12% between July and September and 14% in the final three months. GM has a Shanghai-based joint venture with SAIC Motor, in which the Buick, Chevrolet and Cadillac vehicle brands are made. It also has another Liuzhou-based venture, with SAIC and Guangxi Automobile Group, in which they make no-frills minivans and have started to make higher-end cars. Sales of its Buick brand grew 4% on the year and Wuling rose 9%, the statement said. Luxury brand Cadillac's sales increased 8%. Sales of GM's more affordable Baojun brand dropped 33% last year, while sales of its mass-market Chevrolet tumbled 30%. GM's delivery of 2.9 million vehicles in China follows 3.09 million vehicles in 2019, 3.65 million vehicles in 2018, and 4.04 million in 2017, for a three-year decrease of 28%.
2014 Chevy Cruze Diesel destined for Chicago debut
Mon, 28 Jan 2013It's been a little over a year and a half since General Motors first confirmed plans to offer a diesel-powered Chevrolet Cruze here in the United States, and we've now learned that the oil-burning compact will debut under the lights of the Chicago Auto Show in February. According to GM Authority, the Cruze Eco-D will be introduced as part of the entire 2014 model year Cruze range, set to go on sale in the second quarter of this year.
Earlier reports have indicated that the diesel Cruze will be able to achieve fuel economy numbers in the range of 50 miles per gallon. For comparison, the similarly sized Volkswagen Jetta TDI is rated at 30/42 mpg city/highway, but as we found out in our long-term test of the 2011 model, hitting 50 mpg was a piece of cake.
Official specifications will be released at the time of the 2014 Cruze's unveiling, though reports have stated that the sedan will be powered by a reworked version of the 2.0-liter turbo-diesel inline-four found in the Holden Cruze CDX overseas. In that application, the four-pot oil-burner produces 160 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque - increases of 20 hp and 29 lb-ft over the 2.0-liter engine used in VW's Jetta TDI.
