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 slashes prices in China as sales falter
Thu, May 14 2015Buying a vehicle from General Motors' stable of brands might be a lot cheaper in the near future – at least for customers in China. The effort comes as GM hopes to keep sales there growing, and the decision alludes to yet another sign that the Asian country no longer has the booming auto market of past years. GM and its Chinese joint venture partner SAIC are slashing prices by as much as the equivalent to $8,700 on 40 models from Buick, Chevrolet, and Cadillac, according to The Detroit News. Across all of automaker's nameplates, the overall sales dipped in China in April by 0.4 percent to 258,484 vehicles. Among the drops, Buick was down 8.5 percent, and Chevy shrunk 5.6 percent. Caddy's numbers increased 4.6 percent for the month, though. Buick remains a popular brand in the minds of Chinese consumers, but according to The Detroit News domestic automakers there are starting to eat into the dominance of foreign companies in the market. The country remains important for GM, though. Late last year, it outlined a future strategy that included China as a major pillar, including a $14 billion investment to build five new factories and boost sales.

Can DARPA hack into a Chevy Impala through OnStar?
Mon, Feb 9 2015An ex-video game wizard named Dan Kaufman tracked a circuitous route to becoming the head of the Software Innovation Division at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. DARPA normally makes these pages because of its work with autonomous vehicles and automobile technology that overlaps with military applications, but for the past five years Kaufman and his multiple research teams have been working on creating unhackable software code that could be used in military drones. Part of that work has involved hacking into just about everything else, and as a segment on 60 Minutes reveals, that includes cars. The masterminds discovered a way to hack into OnStar, the General Motors telematics system. After figuring out how to hook into OnStar's emergency communication system, they overwhelmed it with data. While the computer was busy trying to manage the overrun of data, the research team inserted code that took control of the sedan's other computers, giving it control. So while reporter Leslie Stahl tooled around in a parking lot, a DARPA researcher with a laptop would occasionally take control of the car, like by applying its brakes or, conversely, removing the ability for Stahl to use the brakes. Hacking into vehicles has been in the news for years: Car and Driver ran a feature on the various ways cars could be hacked in 2011, two hackers released a car-hacking code at the hacker-fest Defcon in 2013 and demonstrated how it worked on a Toyota Prius and Ford Escape, and German researchers demonstrated how they could hack into BMW's Connected Drive remote-services system last week via an attack on the cars' telematics units. This isn't about GM or Onstar or the future; hacking into cars of all kinds isn't coming, it's here, and it doesn't take the half-billion-dollar annual budget of a small DARPA division to do it. Check out the 60 Minutes video on the CBS site (you can watch the entire video from a mobile device without logging in). The OnStar hacking starts at 6:45, but it's worth watching what leads up to that. News Source: Jalopnik Chevrolet Safety Technology Infotainment Autonomous Vehicles Videos Sedan hacking 60 minutes
GM says over 40% of new China launches in next five years will be EVs
Wed, Aug 19 2020SHANGHAI — General Motors is planning an electric car offensive in China with more than 40% of its new launches in the country over the next five years set to be electric vehicles (EVs), the U.S. carmaker said on Wednesday. GM's electric vehicles, many of which will be all-electric battery cars, will be manufactured in China with almost all parts coming from local suppliers, the company said in a statement released at its Tech Day event in Shanghai. Reuters reported earlier on Wednesday that GM was planning to overhaul its Chinese line-up to stem a slide of sales after more than two decades of growth in a country that contributes nearly a fifth of its profit. GM's new China boss Julian Blissett told Reuters that new technologies, such as EVs and cars with near hands-free driving for highways, would play a key role in GM's China initiatives, which are part of a push to get annual sales in the country back to the 4 million peak it hit in 2017. GM did not say in its statement how many new or significantly redesigned models it was planning to launch in China over the next five years. "China will play a crucial role in making our vision a reality," GM CEO Mary Barra said in the statement, referring to its initiative to create what it describes as a future of "zero crashes, zero emissions and zero congestion" through electrification and smart-driving technologies. GM has said it plans to invest more than $20 billion in electric and automated vehicles globally by 2025. It was not clear how much of that investment will be spent in China.
