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 .

2015 Chevy Colorado takes Motor Trend Truck of the Year calipers [w/videos]

Wed, Dec 3 2014

The final winner of Motor Trend's prestigious Golden Calipers has been named, with the 2015 Chevrolet Colorado taking the title of 2015 Truck of the Year, likely shocking those who thought Ford's all-aluminum, next-generation F-150 would take the crown. But win the Colorado did, beating not only the new Ford, but two other brutish Blue Ovals in the F-450 and Transit. The midsize pickup also bested its brethren from General Motors, beating the heavy-duty Chevy Silverado 3500, GMC Sierra Denali 2500 and the GMC Canyon, the Colorado's fraternal twin. After an unprecedented two-year stint with the Golden Calipers, Ram sat this year's awards out. Most impressive about the Colorado's victory isn't that it simply beat the US market's other trucks, it did so with a unanimous vote. Praise from MT's editors focused on the trucklet's price, spacious interior, fit and finish and performance. Former Autoblog staffer Jonny Lieberman called the Colorado's steering the best he'd "ever experienced on any truck, full stop," in MT's awards article. "After days of testing, hundreds of miles on the road, and our most rigorous truck testing program to date, our editors unanimously selected the Chevy Colorado as our 2015 Truck of the Year," said MT boss Edward Loh. "Colorado is a smart, capable, and refreshingly honest truck that makes a strong value and efficiency statement. It's perfectly sized and suited for the needs of many of today's truck users." The Colorado joins the 2015 Volkswagen Golf and 2015 Honda CR-V among Motor Trend 2015 award winners.

Chevrolet considering midsize crossover to slot between Traverse and Equinox

Mon, Jan 9 2017

Crossovers are the new hotness, and automakers are looking to cash in by offering a size and shape for every customer. With Chevrolet's debut of the new 2018 Traverse in Detroit, which grew ever so slightly compared to the first-generation model, there is now a midsize-crossover-sized hole between the three-row Traverse and the compact Equinox. When asked about that obvious space, a Chevrolet spokesperson told us the company is looking into the possibility of expanding its crossover lineup. It should be a relatively simple thing to do, since all it would take is reskinning and rechristening the GMC Acadia with a bow tie, and we all know how much GM loves platform sharing. Although they're now different sizes, the new Acadia and Traverse still use the same platform; the Acadia is now on a short-wheelbase version of the C1XX while the Traverse uses long-wheelbase C1XX parts. A short-wheelbase Chevy built on the C1XX likely would be differentiated visually from both the Acadia and the larger Traverse. It may seem like flooding the lineup with more and more models would cannibalize sales of existing ones, but Chevrolet said it would rather have customers stay within the brand rather than going to another automaker. There have been whispers that some form of the Blazer name (possibly TrailBlazer) may make a return on a midsizer, but if it does don't expect an old-school body-on-frame SUV like the old one. In the end, if Chevy builds it, customers will come. Related Video:

GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable

Fri, 21 Sep 2012

General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
