1964 Chevy Impala SS 
327 V8, automatic 
2 pump, 4 dump, 8 battery, 10 switch hydraulics 


I bought the car locally in 1996 and at the time it was more or less stock. I had it painted, had the bumpers re-chromed, bought wire wheels and installed the hydraulics as I could afford each item. In the last few years I've replaced the carpet and got the front two seats reupholstered.


Original motor and trans, changed intake and new 600 cfm carb. The motor has always run great, so other than change the intake and carb the engine is stock. It has a small oil leak at the rear main seal, it always has since I got it. 
The body is in good shape. A little bit of the chrome on the bumpers is starting to peel. 


The hydraulics are Red's Old School pumps with four dumps, 8" cyliders in the front with 12" in rear. They've been fantastic, never any issues. I replaced the batteries about three years ago and at that time replaced most of the bushings. The hydraulics will come out fairly easily if you wanted to remove them.


The rims are 15 years old now and starting to rust. The wheels are 14x7, tires are still in great shape. I originally kept the stock wheels on the car for a couple of years but they didn't have much clearance for the hydraulics so I switched them for the smaller wire wheels. 


The car has been always been solid and a lot of fun. My dad and I started it as a project that we could work on together and once it was ready I drove it as a summertime car. A lot of good memories so I'm kind of sad to see it go, I didn't even really decide to sell it until this year, but I am just finding I have less and less time to drive it like I used to.

**PLEASE NOTE THAT THE CAR WAS JUST WASHED WHEN PICTURES WERE TAKEN.  PAINT IS IN VERY NICE SHAPE, WITH NO MAJOR FLAWS.

The car is located in Victoria BC Canada But we can take it to Vancouver BC or Seattle Washington at our expense but any tax or duty is at the owners expence .

Chevy Camaro is a good sport, wishes Ford Mustang Happy 50th

Tue, 15 Apr 2014

It was 1966 when Chevrolet launched its challenger to the wildly successful Ford Mustang, the Camaro. While the competition between the two brands was already healthy, the arrival of the Camaro set off one of the most intense, model-to-model rivalries in the industry.
That competitive spirit hasn't stopped Chevy and the Camaro from wishing Ford's iconic muscle car a Happy 50th Birthday as the Ford's April 17 anniversary rolls around. These two cars have been linked over the years, and while the rivalry took a break for a few years in the 2000s, today's competition between the Camaro and Mustang is as fierce as it's ever been.
You might recall that this friendliness when it comes to major milestones isn't too rare. Ford put on quite a display for General Motors' hundredth anniversary back in 2008. As the Camaro's fiftieth birthday approaches in 2016, we wouldn't be surprised to see the Mustang sending its best wishes to its Bowtie rival.

New 2016 Chevy Volt ad arrives in time for Tomorrowland

Tue, May 12 2015

As summer approaches, so do the blockbusters. We've already seen Furious 7 and The Avengers: Age of Ultron, while Mad Max: Fury Road arrives this week. Next week's big debut is Disney's Tomorrowland, starring George Clooney, and not surprisingly, the advertising campaign is kicking into gear. Perhaps attempting to capitalize on the high-tech theme of the flick, Chevrolet has teamed up with Disney for the second-generation Volt's very first commercial appearance. As we reported previously, the Volt will star on the big screen when Tomorrowland hits theaters, and it will be accompanied by the EN-V Concept. Take a look at the Volt's Tomorrowland spot, up top.

Why an independent rear suspension for GM's new, full-sized SUVs wasn't easy

Mon, Dec 23 2019

A Motor Trend report last month laid out how Cadillac's 4.2-lier twin-turbo Blackwing V8 could be an orphan due to cost concerns in the GM empire. Last-minute chassis changes to Cadillac's new sedans and XT6 crossover led to engine bays that couldn't fit the Blackwing. On the SUV side, according to the report, the new independent rear suspension for big people haulers cost so much to implement that GM ruled out reworking the Escalade to accept the Blackwing. At least one commenter rightly asked how could a suspension swallow that much money. A new piece in Motor Trend has the answer. The excellent Alissa Priddle spoke to Tim Herrick, GM's executive chief engineer for full-size trucks, about why the clean-sheet IRS cost "multimillions of dollars."  First, GM would need to build a new body shop at the Arlington, Texas plant that assembles the automaker's big SUVs to stamp the numerous wholly new parts and panels accommodating an IRS. Then GM would need to design and pay for a new assembly process. On top of those up-front costs, there was the incremental cost of the four-link IRS components being more expensive than those in the trucks' former leaf-sprung solid axles. Herrick endured so many rejections for so long that he remembers the date and time when he got approval for the new unit. He said it came down to a meeting where he told a higher-up, "I'll make you a deal: If we get to the reveal, or if we launch this and you think this was a dumb idea, I'll hand you my badge and let you walk me out." Head to Motor Trend to read the full story. Based on Herrick being on stage to help present the new SUVs to the press, and on our First Ride in the new Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban at GM's Milford Proving Grounds, it appears this will have a happy ending for all involved. Furthermore, since Herrick worked on the T1 platform that supports the big SUVs as well as the light- and heavy-duty pickups, he understood the demands on the commercial side, too. That could be why when Roadshow asked Tim Asoklis, chief engineer of the Tahoe and Suburban, if the new IRS could endure life in the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, Asoklis answered, "Oh, absolutely."
