HELLO TO ALL. THIS IS OUR FAMILY OWNED 1959 CHEVY IMPALA 2 DOOR COUPE THAT HAS BEEN VERY MILDLY CUSTOMIZED AS YOU CAN SEE. SUPER SHARP CRUISER WITH A SLEEPER MID-YEAR CORVETTE L-79 327CI/350HP MOTOR.
PLEASE NOTE: There are no airbags or hydraulics in the car, it has just been lowered. I have NEW front springs and NEW front shocks that go with the car if the new buyer wants to bring the ride height back to "normal".
My husband and I purchased it in Pennsylvania a couple of years ago, while down there for the classic car show. We always wanted either a 59 or 60 Impala coupe, and since prices on them have been skyrocketing, it's been difficult...if not impossible finding one priced reasonably that was reliable enough to be used daily. Once we got it back to NY, we garaged it and worked on it a little at a time, turning it into what it is today, a nicely presentable and cool driver. It has received NEW PAINT, nearly completely NEW INTERIOR and a lot of minor detailing work has been done as well as you'll see in the pictures.
OPTIONS:
Power steering
Manual drum brakes
Bench seat interior
327ci/350hp Corvette L79 V8 (code "HT" from 65-67 Corvettes)
Automatic transmission on the column
Dual rear antennas
Dual exhaust exiting behind rear wheels
14" steel wheels with whitewall tires and stock hubcaps
Fender skirts
Mechanically the hydraulic lifter 327ci/350hp L-79 mid-year Corvette motor is nice and sound with good oil pressure and behaves well. This is a RARE and seriously sought after motor, and i've had several Corvette experts estimate the value at somewhere around $5-6K just for the motor. It is a virtually STOCK motor with correct stock exhaust manifolds, stock 4bbl. carburetor and stock intake manifold as well. Transmission is a stock automatic on the column that shifts good (has a mild shift kit installed). Now as for driving the car, i've taken it out mostly around the neighborhood here and there for a few functions, and sometimes we take it to the Island for a cruise. Brakes work well. Steers nice and swift without too much if any play in the wheel. Overall very sound and reliable car that can be used daily with minor tlc depending on what your likes are.
Motor was originally a 283ci 2bbl. V8 that was upgraded some years ago (I do not have the original motor). Like I said, you could get in and drive this car, since it's one of those vehicles that doesn't like sitting for long periods of time (the more you drive it, the better it gets).
Interior has had a lot of work done. NEWLY reupholstered seats, NEW carpet, NEW Door panels, NEW armrest pads, original headliner (some water stains on it). Dash is original and looks to have never been repainted. Steering wheel has a couple of cracks. Overall a very presentable driver quality interior.
Underside is very nice and dry overall, and has a NICE frame, VERY SOLID trunk with some surface rust and a few tiny pinholes. Floorboards are in fairly good shape as well, with no large holes or any major rot evident (they may have been patched in a couple of places but looks solid and clean overall).
THIS 1959 CHEVY IMPALA 2 DOOR COUPE IS NOT PERFECT, SO PLEASE LOOK AT PICTURES, ASK QUESTIONS OR COME SEE IT IN PERSON. Paint was recently redone with base/clear coat and looks good with fairly good shine overall as you can see in the pictures. The rear quarters had lower 1/2" quarters installed and there is some filler by lower section of the car, especially by inner wheel wells. Overall a decent job but nowhere near being show quality paintjob. Panel fit is ok for a 50s Chevy but should be adjusted here and there as you see fit (especially by trunk lid and passenger door). Could still use some minor wetsanding and final buffing. Chrome is good for a driver and shows well but would need replacing for anything better. Front driver's side window has cracks. Not working: horn, radio, speedometer/odometer, couple of gauges not hooked up, perhaps a bulb or two may need replacing here and there as needed. Exhaust manifold gasket on driver's side has a leak. Thermostat may stick at times and should be replaced if you're going to be driving in stop-and-go traffic often. Engine puffs a hint of white smoke at startup and may need seals replaced down the line. Weatherstripping should be replaced. Fender skirts held with screws to keep them from falling off. Rear driver's side taillight lens has a crack in it.
There are various other small issues with it, as with any other old car, and i'm not gonna sit here and list them all as it would be no point. So overall she is nowhere near perfect and will need some form of TLC depending on how nice you want it to be and what you plan to do with the car.
If you just want a NICELY PRESENTABLE DRIVER needing tlc, this is the car for you. If you want a show car, it will need some serious investment to bring it up to that level of course. I ENCOURAGE ANYONE BIDDING OR SERIOUSLY INTERESTED TO COME LOOK AT IT IN PERSON. I WILL BE GLAD TO SHOW IT TO YOU TOP TO BOTTOM SO YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE GETTING INTO. AT THE VERY LEAST TAKE A LOOK AT ALL THE ADDITIONAL PICTURES ON THE LINK ABOVE.

Sunday Drive: A tale of old favorites and upcoming challengers
Sun, Oct 8 2017Sedans and crossovers dominated the attention of our readers last week, led by the completely redesigned 2018 Honda Accord. It's the Japanese automaker's flagship, and people are seriously interested in finding out how good the latest Accord is. So interested, in fact, that no other single story came close to the brand-new Accord in Autoblog reader interest. Moving down the list we find the equally new 2018 Buick Enclave. The three-row crossover has a lot to offer a family, especially one looking for a nice, quiet ride. If you're looking for the exact opposite of nice and quiet, but still want enough room for you and your significant others, the Subaru WRX that we tested last week may be the perfect ride for you. Or, if you just want to drive fast and aren't at all worried about space, there's the Camaro SS. See? We offer something for everybody. From there, we look to the future. Who isn't interested in seeing the first fully electric vehicle from Porsche? And who isn't intrigued to see the Mission E testing alongside a gaggle of Teslas? A brand-new Jeep is always a big deal, especially when it's the revival of a classic nameplate like the Grand Wagoneer. And finally, we have something completely different: the Rezvani Tank. As always, tune in to Autoblog next week for a front-row seat to all the happenings worth following in the automotive industry. 2018 Honda Accord First Drive | Feels like home again 2018 Buick Enclave First Drive Review | Fortress of quietude 2018 Subaru WRX Drivers' Notes | Turbo traditionalist 2018 Chevy Camaro SS Drivers' Notes | Demonstrative power, middling interior Porsche Mission E caught testing against Teslas Jeep three-row SUV caught on public roads — Grand Wagoneer, perhaps?

Chevy Malibu Hybrid wins 2016 Connected Green Car of the Year
Thu, Jan 21 2016From the Washington Auto Show today, Green Car Journal's Ron Cogan announced three different fuel-efficient vehicle awards. They were: 2016 Connected Green Car of the Year: Chevy Malibu Hybrid 2016 Luxury Green Car of the Year: Volvo XC90 T8 2016 Green SUV of the Year: Honda HR-V The Volvo was nominated in two categories, but it did not win the Connected Green Car of the Year. Speaking of non-winners, the other green SUV finalists were the BMW X1 XDrive28i, Hyundai Tucson, Mazda CX-3, and Toyota RAV4 Hybrid. The other Luxury Green Car finalists included the BMW x5 xDrive40e, Lexus RX 450h, Porsche Cayenne S E-Hybrid, and the Mercedes-Benz C350e. Finally, the Audi A3 e-tron, BMW 330e, Toyota Prius, and Volvo XC90 T8 were the runners up for Connected Green Car. 2016 Connected Green Car of the Year, Green SUV of the Year, Luxury Green Car of the Year Winners Announced WASHINGTON, Jan. 21, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Green Car Journal has announced the winners of its prestigious 2016 Green Car Awards at a press conference held today during the Washington Auto Show's Public Policy Day in Washington DC. Distinguished as 2016 Luxury Green Car of the Year™ is Volvo's new XC90 T8. The Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid tops the field as 2016 Connected Green Car of the Year™ and Honda's HR-V earns Green Car Journal's 2016 Green SUV of the Year™. "These are stand-out vehicles in an increasingly sophisticated and appealing field of 'green' cars," said Ron Cogan, editor and publisher of Green Car Journal and CarsOfChange.com. "To make the cut as a finalist is a real achievement in itself considering the considerable competition in the market today.

The Green Car Awards are a key feature of The Washington Auto Show, the "public policy show" on the auto show circuit and one that puts a priority on safety and sustainability. "We are extremely proud of our partnership with Ron Cogan, whose eagerly anticipated suite of awards help shape the national conversation on the innovations that will drive our industry and country forward," said Geoff Pohanka, chairman of The Washington Auto Show.
GM Recalling Another 2.7 Million Vehicles In Five Separate Campaigns
Thu, May 15 2014The recalls keep rolling in from General Motors, evidently keen to avoid repeating the mistakes of the ignition-switch debacle and clean house. This time they're all coming at once, with five separate recalls announced together covering approximately 2.7 million vehicles. The largest of the five actions involves over 2.4 million units of the previous-generation Chevrolet Malibu and Malibu Maxx, Pontiac G6 and Saturn Aura in order to fix brake light wiring harness, which have been found to be susceptible to corrosion. The recall is separate from the 56k Aura sedans which GM recently recalled over faulty shift cables, not to mention the previous massive recall of 1.3 million vehicles – some of them the same models – but appears to have resulted from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation that started with the G6 almost a year ago. The second-largest campaign involves the 2014 Chevy Malibu, specifically those fitted with GM's 2.5-liter engine and stop/start system, approximately 140,000 examples of which has been found to have problematic brakes. The issue does not appear to be connected to the recall of 8k Malibu and Buick LaCrosse sedans (also involving brake woes) which we reported upon last week. Four crashes have been reported in such models, but GM admits it's not yet clear if the problem was a contributing factor in the accidents. A further 112k Corvette models from the 2005-2007 model years are being called in for problems with their low-beam headlamps resulting from a flexing relay control circuit wire that's not meant to bend. GM says it is "aware of several hundred complaints" about this issue, but notes that there have been no reports of related accidents. In addition, over 19k examples of Cadillac CTS from the 2013 and 2014 model years are being recalled over windshield wipers that might not work after a jump start. Finally, GM is also bringing in 477 examples of its 2014 Chevy Silverado, Tahoe and GMC Sierra (though not the Yukon) to fix a problem with a tie rod in its steering rack. As ever, all recall repairs will be performed free of charge, and GM is now estimating that recall-related actions this quarter will result in an estimated $200-million charge against its second-quarter earnings. Read the full announcement from GM below for further details.
