                                                                        1962 Chevrolet Impala SS Convertible.
 After 25 years trying to buy this car from the 2nd owner, I finally acquired it from his estate. He passed 4 years ago at 89 and since his father lived to be 104, I thought I would never get it. I am 66 years old now and much to my regret circumstances dictate she has to go. He and his father ran a local repair shop since the 1930's until the late 1980's. He bought this car from one of his customers in 1970. Most of the 92877 actual miles was accumulated by the 1st owner. As it was no longer a daily driver, The 2nd owner did some minor lower rust repair and painted both sides from the chrome down and then rarely drove it only in parades and later to an occasional car show. It has held up well but the lacquer paint has the typical cracks and is showing its age. The right front floor support has been replaced and the left one should be. The rest of the paint above the chrome is original and still looks and shines nice but there are some small nicks and scratches. There is a small ding on top of the left front fender. The car has never been in an accident.

The interior is all original and is in extremely nice condition except for a patch on the right door panel. Carpet is very nice but faded. Easy to spray dye rather than replace. I'm not sure but the top may be original. It is not real white like a new one but still looks nice with no torn seams or tears and it is not brittle. The back window has some scratches and is showing its age but you can see clearly through it. All original weatherstripping is still soft and pliable is in excellent condition.

The original 283 engine is whisper quiet. No knocks, ticks, smoke or leaks. It has 327 valve covers and fender flags and the originals go with the car. I think the 327 valve covers and fender flags are prettier than the 283's. The battery is out in the pictures, but it comes with a good working one. The original transmission shifts great, no slippage. The original rear end is quiet, not sure if it's a 3.08 or 3.36. Correct dual exhaust was added with correct reproduction clamps and hangers and stock quiet mufflers. The car runs, rides and drives smooth and quiet with no shake, shimmy, wobble or wandering.  Front suspension is tight and the tires are balanced. All lights inside and out work as does all equipment and accessories. Dual outside rear view mirrors and dual antennas. Wheels tires and hubcaps are very nice. Bumpers are original and straight and still shine good. All glass is in excellent condition and roll up and down as they should. All the anodized trim is in very good shiny condition.

This is not a RESTORED car. It is a SURVIVOR that has always been taken care of and maintained as needed. You don't need a trailer to take this car home. It can be driven any distance with confidence. I can put you in touch with a local shipper if needed.

I may stop this auction at any time as the car is for sale locally. Many cars on ebay never meet reserve, but if you are serious, don't be shy with an offer.

GM to build outgoing Silverado and Sierra until late 2019

Tue, Nov 6 2018

As it has done with previous generations, General Motors is keeping the outgoing versions of its 1500 pickups in production despite the arrival of the all-new 2019 Chevrolet Silverado and 2019 GMC Sierra. The production of the previous, K2 generation models will begin to be wound down gradually, according to Automotive News, starting with crew cabs "early next year," and double and regular cab models following during "the early second half of next year." The old model trucks will continue to be built into "late 2019" based on market demand, GM's spokesperson Kim Carpenter said. The Chevrolet will go by the name Silverado LD, with the GMC Sierra designation still to be announced. Some of the outgoing models are built by sharing the assembly work between two GM plants. Partially finished Silverado and Sierra double cab bodies are shipped from Fort Wayne, Ind., to Oshawa, Ont., where the trucks are completed, including receiving paint. This eases the workload in Fort Wayne, where production of the new T1 generation trucks started in July 2018. In January, the Silao plant in Mexico will take on the duties of building new generation regular cab and crew cab trucks. Carpenter also said that the "Oshawa shuttle," as the shared production is called, has been very successful. As a result, 60,000 more trucks will be built than what the original production forecast initially called for. GM's latest quarterly profits, disclosed last week to be $1 billion, have been far higher than expected and will result in full-year profits far higher than what had been predicted in light of steel tariffs. GM isn't the only truck maker taking a similar multi-generation approach for 2019. Both the outgoing and redesigned Ram 1500 are in production, with the previous generation being dubbed Ram 1500 Classic. Related Video:

The 2014 Chevrolet SS sedan is for drivers who value performance above all else

Sat, 16 Feb 2013

The car you see above is the 2014 Chevrolet SS, and it's important both because it is the first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan from Chevy in 17 years, and because it will be the nameplate the brand uses on NASCAR tracks all across the country starting this year.
Though it wears a name as American as baseball and apple pie, the machine was actually designed and built in Australia, sharing most of its parts with the brand-new VF-model Holden Commodore. That said, the basic chassis bits are shared with other Chevrolet models like the Camaro and Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle.
While Chevrolet is happy to sell a Malibu or Impala to anyone looking for a mainstream family sedan, but the SS is reserved for buyers interested first and foremost in performance. Most sedans sold these days are front-wheel drive, which is great for everyday driving and when the weather goes bad, but the SS is instead a rear-wheel-drive vehicle aimed at enthusiasts who love to drive and who prefer speed and performance above all else.

Why Cadillac thinks it needs to succeed in Europe to sell cars elsewhere

Tue, 26 Feb 2013

Ward's Auto has taken an interesting look at the renewed focus General Motors is showing towards Cadillac in Europe. Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet and Cadillac in Europe (pictured), says in order for the luxury brand to thrive in China, it first needs to succeed in the old country. The reason? Chinese buyers look to Europe for cues as to what's deemed worthy of the term "luxury." There are hurdles to the plan, however. In addition to the fact that the EU is flooded with high-end nameplates, GM doesn't necessarily have the distribution network in place to put buyers behind the wheel.
Combine that with persistent economic woes and Cadillac's checkered past marred by a lack of diesel engine options and a bankrupt distributor, and the road ahead for the brand looks like less of an uphill climb and more like a straight-up cliff face. But Docherty is optimistic and says she has a plan for the brand. We recommend heading over to Ward's for a closer look at the full read.
