1963 Impala 2 door hardtop. 283 2 barrel carb. Powerglide transmission. Very complete, original car. Clean Michigan title. Odometer shows 97819 miles.

This Impala spent its whole life in the south and was last on the road in 1990 in Tennessee. In 92 it was brought to Michigan and has been in clean dry storage until this year. I bought the car and rebuilt the carb, changed the oil, installed a spin-on oil filter adapter and a new oil filter. The 283 runs great, starts right up, idles smooth and gets the monster down the road. The powerglide shifts fine into all gears. The brakes could use bleeding but it stops and the car can be driven although I would not recommend an interstate jaunt without a thorough mechanical inspection first.

The body is one of the better unrestored ones I've seen. It has been repainted but not recently. The hood is probably the worst where it has rusted through behind the forward trim where it must collect water. The rear body mounts have some holes. The floors and trunk are solid, as are the inner rockers. The paint on the roof has a small spot where it is lifting and flaking.

On the interior the front seats need recovering. The headliner is near perfect shape. The door panels appear to have some water damage. Rear seat and panels are good. Dash is in nice shape with original radio.

Delivery is possible within 200 miles of 49002 for $1.25 per loaded mile. Delivery cost and 10% non-refundable deposit paid up front, the balance in cash apon delivery. I can work with the buyer on using a shipping company if you want it shipped further than 200 miles.

Please ask any and all questions. I don't put my phone number on Ebay but I am happy to email it to you, and local inspection before bidding always highly recommended.

If you have less than 10 positive feedbacks please contact me before bidding or your bid will be cancelled. This is to protect me and other bidders from scams.

Thanks for looking at my auction. Enjoy the video!

Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.

Survey says $25k barrier is a problem for EVs

Sun, 01 Dec 2013



The majority of consumers are more or less priced out of the market.
Electric cars are gaining popularity with the general public, but are they still too expensive? According to a survey 1,084 consumers by Navigant Research, a consulting firm located in Boulder, CO, 71 percent want their next car to cost under $25,000, while 41 percent won't go a cent above $20K. Looks like people are even thriftier than we'd originally thought.

Recharge Wrap-up: Batty battery covers, Mercedes at Silvretta, new Hyundai Sonata Hybrid available in 2015

Tue, Jul 8 2014

Apparently, Chevrolet Volt battery covers make suitable homes for bats. As part of an Eagle Scout project, Matthew Netherland created 30 bat houses out of scrapped Volt battery covers donated by Chevy. 22 of the bat houses will be set up near hydroelectric dams in Michigan. Each bat house will accommodate 100 bats, and divert the scrapped materials from the landfill. The battery covers also make great nesting boxes for wood ducks, which General Motors has previously set up at its Milford, Michigan Proving Ground. Last weekend was the Silvretta E-Auto Rally, which saw emissions-free vehicles cross the Montafon Mountains in Austria, including cars from Mercedes-Benz. These cars included the B-Class Electric Drive, B-Class F-Cell, SLS AMG Electric Drive and even the Smart Fortwo Electric Drive. Also on hand for the Silvretta Classic Rally was a V8-powered C111, a 1978 Mercedes-Benz 450 SLC and 300 SL Roadster. Read more in the press release, below. BMW has finalized pricing for the i8 in the US at $135,700 (plus $925 in destination charges). In addition to the base price tag, which we've known for a while, BMW Blog has the complete pricing guide with options and packages. Most of the i8 orders were the Pure Impulse World package, which includes various aesthetic upgrades. It also provides membership to the BMW i Pure Impulse Program, which allows you to "to enjoy innovative ideas and trends in a variety of areas, including home styling, culture, gourmet gastronomy, design and many more." Head over to BMW Blog for more information. The new generation of the Hyundai Sonata Hybrid will arrive later than the rest of the model lineup, confirms Car and Driver. While the gas-powered Sonatas get updated now for the 2015 model year, the Hybrid remains unchanged until late this year or early 2015, when it will arrive as a 2016 model. Hyundai is offering a 2015 Sonata Eco edition, but with 28 miles per gallon in the city and 38 mpg highway (32 combined), it's not quite as appealing as the current Sonata Hybrid's 36/40/38 figures. Read more here. In June, average US fuel economy was 25.5 miles per gallon, making it the fifth straight month above 25 mpg, according to University of Michigan. The average window sticker ratings from vehicles sold in June dropped slightly from 25.6 mpg in May. The year started at 24.9 mpg in January, and hasn't dropped below 25 mpg since.
