Saint Charles, Missouri, United States
|
*****1961 Impala Resto Mod***** Up for auction is one bad bubble top! This restomod 61 Impala has undergone a nut and bolt restoration with no expense spared. This car gets tons of attention and constant compliments everywhere it goes. Bubbletops are hot and this is your opportunity to own a great example. This car has just the right amount of modern upgrades and touches, but still retains alot of originality as well. It’s a great investment grade car that is sure to appreciate in the years to come. Its never going out of style and the demand for 61 hard tops isn’t going away any time soon! Exterior: The car was refinished in its original color combination and looks incredible. The paint was professionally done with no corners cut and it shows! The car was completely disassembled and taken down to bare metal. It was sprayed with the front clip off, glass out, and all parts painted separate. The firewall was striped and painted. The paint is very slick and has been sanded and buffed to a mirror finish. The car is nice and straight down the sides. The paint and body were done correctly with no expense spared. This car will look as good in 20 years from now as it does today if taken care of! This is not your average restored 61. This is a one repaint rust free car and retains all its original body parts. This is not a pieced together, patched up, previously rusty car that came from a field. This was a very dry solid and original survivor car prior to the restoration. When you start with a good car, they turn out that much better in the end! The doors open and close extremely well! Everything fits and lines up nicely. All the body gaps look good. The windows line up nice and the car seals up really well. The original front and rear bumpers were rechromed. The door handles, fender ornaments, hood emblem, trunk emblem, side emblems, side moldings, taillight bezels, headlight bezels, ect… were replaced with new. Interior: The interior of this bubbletop looks as good as the outside of the car! It was redone to original and everything was replaced. The fit is very nice. The seats, door panels, carpet, kick panels, package tray, dash emblem, dash trim, glove box, dash ash tray, shift lever, turn signal lever, door handles, window cranks, rear ash trays, speaker emblem, etc, were all replaced. The steering wheel was restored and looks great. The horn buttons were replated, new emblem, new chrome face bar, new chrome divider rings, and it was shit with base clear. The front windshield is the original easy eye tinted glass and is in very nice shape! The vent windows and door glass are new along with the chrome window frames. The car has working lights, turn signals, horn, speedometer, fuel gauge, temp gauge, wipers, cigarette lighter, heater, dash lights, interior lights, etc. Drivetrain: Under the hood you will find the original number matching powerpack 283. It has been completely rebuilt and upgraded for better performance and reliability. It has new polished intake, Edelbrock carb, billet HEI distributer, 110 amp alternator, billet specialties pulleys, Lokar cables, electric choke, ceramic coated headers, new valve covers, air cleaner, all new belts, hoses, Taylor wires, electric fan, new radiator, etc. Basically every single piece and part under the hood is new. Lots of time in detail work making the engine compartment look as clean as it does. No painted over bolts, no messy wiring, everything is nice and clean! The motor runs very well! It doesn’t knock, tick, leak, smoke, or do anything funny. It has plenty of power and sounds great! The entire exhaust system is brand new as well. The transmission is a freshly rebuilt late model aluminum powerglide. It shifts perfectly, downshifts as it should, and doesn’t leak! As you can see in the pics, the font frame rails were stripped bare and put back together with all new and upgraded parts and hardware. This was a very thorough restoration. Every clip, seal, nut, washer, bearing, etc on the entire car has been gone through. Everything mechanical on the car has been replaced or rebuilt. This car has power steering and steers very nice. Brakes: The brakes were upgraded to massive 14” c6 zo6 rotors with 4 piston calipers. The big brakes are powered by a Wilwood dual reservoir master cylinder with an adjustable proportioning valve. All new stainless steel brake lines were addes along with steel braided hoses. Suspension: The car gets it aggressive stance from a fully adjustable Accuair air ride suspension. This is not a cheap air ride kit. It has been professionally installed and everything was done nice and clean. It is has an Accuair digital ride height controller and can be adjusted on all 4 corners. There are gauges monitoring each corner mounted in the glove box. All the air ride components are neatly mounted in trunk. It has tubular upper and lower control arms that look killer and also help improve the ride and handling. All the suspensions components are new. The wheels and tires are new as well. They are Esajian Bolts, 18x8.5s in the front
and 20x10s in the rear. They are 2 piece
billets that were custom built by Esajian Wheel (www.esajianwheel.com) and fit
the car perfect! This car drives extremely well. Its tight, smooth, rides good, handles
good, sounds good, and looks damn good doing it! It cruise straight down the highway and feels good at 80 mph. Its very reliable. I wouldn’t hesitate to get in it and head
across the country. It doesn't leak any
fluids and the air suspension is free of leaks.
The car does everything right! Overall, this is a great car and is going to make someone proud to
own it! Its a quality restoration with no corners cut. The parts on the car are high end parts. Theres lots of money in the suspension, brakes, wheels, parts under the hood, ect. I have owned many 61s and am a picky buyer. I pass on most the cars I look at and search

Recharge Wrap-up: EV torque secrets, UC Davis maps future of biofuels
Fri, Jul 25 2014A UC Davis white paper maps out "Three Routes Forward for Biofuels," balancing investment risk with carbon benefits. The first option is "incremental," in which we tinker with the existing biofuel manufacturing infrastructure for small improvements over time. The "transitional" plan suggests integrating cellulosic production and other innovations with existing operations. The third route, called "leapfrogging," would mean building refineries based on new technology such as cellulosic and algae-based biofuels. The paper suggests ways the US could use these three routes together in different areas, and predicts the payoffs in terms of carbon emissions could be significant if the right people are willing to risk the capital. After all, financial advisers are always telling investors to diversify their portfolios to manage risk and rewards in the same way. Read more over at the UC Davis Institute of Transportation Studies. The Formula E Long Beach ePrix will offer free admission. The seventh round of the inaugural all-electric race season, which was moved from Los Angeles to the streets of Long Beach, will offer fans free grandstand and general admission. The race, which takes place on April 5, 2015, will use a 1.6-mile portion of IndyCar's Grand Prix of Long Beach. Read more at LA Times. Polaris is now offering its 2015 GEM electric vehicles, including the new street-legal eM1400 LSV. The passenger and utility vehicles come in two- to six-passenger configurations, many of which are street legal on roads with posted speed limits of up to 35 miles per hour. The eM1400 LSV utility vehicle seats two, offers 1,250 pounds of payload, 1,250 pounds of towing capacity, a top speed of 25 mph and a range of up to 45 miles. Its on-board charger plugs into any standard 110-volt outlet. Read more at Hybrid Cars and check out all the different configurations yourself at the Polaris website. In EVs, more torque does not always equal faster. Green Car Reports found this out when driving the Fiat 500e (with 147 pound-feet) against the similarly weighted Chevrolet Spark EV (with 400 pound-feet). The secret is, at least in part, in the gearing. The Fiat has a 9.6:1 reduction gear, making it quicker at lower speeds despite having far less available torque, while the Chevy uses a 3:1 ratio. The trade-off though, is in top speed. Furthermore, Chevy electronically limits the torque delivery at low speeds, as 400 pound-feet is a lot of launch for the little Spark EV to handle.
PickupTrucks.com's latest test results in a familiar winner [w/video]
Wed, 19 Jun 2013PickupTrucks.com has gone and thrown the latest batch of half-ton pickups into a cage match to see who would come out on top. The site put the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, 2013 Ford F-150, Ram 1500, Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan through a battery of tests. Those included 0-60 miles per hour acceleration, 60-0 mph deceleration, fuel economy, a hill climb, and payload and towing. They even threw the rigs on an autocross course to evaluate overall handling. Each truck was given points based on how it scored in each evaluation.
Who came out on top? Somewhat surprisingly, the 2013 Ford F-150 walked away with the gold, though fewer than 50 points separated first and fourth place. Head over to PickupTrucks.com to read the full evaluation and the final results. You may be shocked to see exactly where some of the segment's newest additions placed.

Nissan Leaf sales double Chevy Volt to close out winning 2014
Mon, Jan 5 2015To close out the year, sales of the two most-popular plug-in vehicles in the US kept going in the direction that they had been all year. The Chevy Volt dropped and the Nissan Leaf had another record month. Sound familiar? The Volt sold 1,490 units in December, a year-to-year drop of 37.7 percent. For all of 2014, Volt sales were down 18.6 percent to just 18,805 (from 23,094 in 2013). On the Nissan side of the ledger, the Leaf sold 3,102 units, up 22.7 percent from the 2,529 sold in December 2013. For the year, Nissan sold 30,200 Leafs, up 33.6 percent from the 22,610 sold in 2013. A few other things to note: For every month in 2014, the Leaf sold more than it did for the same month in 2013. For the Volt, this was only true for three months (April, May and July). Funnily enough, the Volt sold exactly 1,478 units in both March 2013 and 2014. The Volt's 2014 total was lower than both 2013 and 2012, while the Leaf had its best year ever. There were three months in 2014 when people bought at least twice as many Leafs than bought a Volt (September, November, December). The Leaf outsold the Volt every month in 2014. The closest gap was 215 units, in February. The biggest was 1,612, in December. As you've most likely seen, GM is still busy teasing the new Volt, which will make its official debut at the Detroit Auto Show next week. We'll have a more in-depth green car sales post up soon. <iframe embedded="true" "="" scrolling="no" src="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1oIuH75vaSHaaplD4x6gLsYjSsiN4oGmez1T63eaYdhY/pubhtml?widget=true&headers=false" height="430"> Nissan celebrates 30,000 leaf sales in 2014, best year ever for sales of any plug-in vehicle NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Jan. 5, 2015) – Nissan, the world leader in electric vehicle sales, shattered yet another sales record with 30,200 LEAF vehicles sold in 2014, which is the first time any plug-in has sold more than 30,000 units in a single year. "Now in its fifth model year, Nissan LEAF is more popular than ever and continues to bring new buyers to Nissan," said Brendan Jones, director, Nissan Electric Vehicle Sales and Infrastructure. "From the beginning our vision was to bring electric vehicles to the mass market in a practical and fun-to-drive package, which is what makes Nissan LEAF the best-selling electric car in the world." Last month, Nissan sold 3,102 all-electric LEAFs, up 22.7 percent from the prior year and a December record.
