1963 Chevrolet Impala 409 - 425 Hp - Barn Find - Survivor on 2040-cars
Corvallis, Oregon, United States
1963 Chevrolet Impala Sport Coupe - 409 Cubic Inch engine 425 Horse power. Barn Find-Survivor Impala. This is the original paint and interior. Great Patina. Accident Free and Rust Free Oregon car. The car was sold new in Canby, Oregon, at Sam's Garage. One owner. I bought it six years ago, after the original owner passed away. I just finished a complete Mechanical restoration of it. I was careful to preserve the original paint and interior. I wanted the Barn Find-Survivor look. It has an original 1963 Chevrolet 409 - 425 Horsepower QB engine with a Muncie close ratio 4 speed. This car was born with a 6 cylinder engine with a 3 speed manual transmission. The following is what I did to the Impala. I was after a "Day 2" Survivor look.
ENGINE: I purchased the complete engine from a 1963 Impala, that was rolled and totaled back in 1965. The car had 20,000 miles. The engine went into storage from 1965 until August of 2011, when I bought it. Since it was stored for 46 years, I had it professionally rebuilt. There was no ring ridge or cylinder taper, Standard bore. I found some NOS piston rings, for the original TRW pistons. The crank was standard on the Main and Rod journals, so it was polished and new standard bearings were installed. New oil pump. Gave it a valve job and new valve stem seals. The block number is 3830814 and the stamp on the pad is 11023QB. The heads are the High performance Big Port #3814690 heads. The intake manifold number is 3814881 and is a Winters casting. I had the original AFB (3361 and 3362) carburetors rebuilt. Correct 409 distributor, its number is 1111023. I did convert it to a Pertronix Electric conversion (It is hidden under the original cap, however I retained the stock points equipment). I rebuilt the original water pump, the original alternator, new AC Delco fuel pump. Still has the original Dripper Valve covers and air cleaner. New air filter element. New Flywheel and Heavy Duty Ram clutch assembly. New reproduction radiator, hoses, heater hoses, battery, etc. Completely new exhaust system; with Sanderson Headers, and Flowmaster 40 Mufflers. I had the Muncie Close ratio 4 speed trans rebuilt and it shifts great. I did use a Hurst Shifter assembly, with a reproduction original GM shifter handle. Reproduction 6000 RPM tach. Stewart Warner Oil and temp gauges. I did every thing right with the right parts. The Impala starts, runs, drives and stops great. I have driven it 20 miles since completing it. It is a fresh build. Three inch thick build book documenting all the parts and work done. Receipts for every thing. Clean and clear Oregon title. OTHER: I installed American mags, 7 x 15 front, and 8-1/2 x 15 rear. Tires are new Dunlop GT Qualifiers, 215/70x15 front and 235/70x15 rear. 4 New Gas shocks. The car is located in Corvallis, Oregon 97330. I am located 85 miles South of the Portland, Oregon Airport. I am 35 miles North of the Eugene, Oregon Airport. Fly in and drive it home. Or, I will assist your shipper with loading it. I have been an Ebayer since 2002, with a 100% rating. The car is For Sale locally, so the auction may end early. If you have any questions, or need more information please call me on my cell (541) 740-4140. The car is available for your inspection. Email works too. If I don't answer my cell, please call my office (541) 753-5944 and leave a message. I just turned 67 years old, and I am going to retire. I will be selling my business. So I need to down size my fleet some what. Good luck bidding. |

Chevy Sonic shreds like a skateboard
Tue, 19 Mar 2013Despite the fact that the 2013 Chevy Sonic is a fun, plucky little thing - especially in ever-so-slightly hotter RS guise - it is not, in fact, a skateboard. But don't tell that to rapper Theophilus London.
In General Motors' latest spot for the Chevrolet compact, London needs to make a quick run to the store for some milk. And even though, once again, the Sonic is not a skateboard, it ollies, pops and gets air because, you know, it's just so much fun to throw around.
If this video looks familiar to you, it's because this is the full ad that we first got a preview of in Chevy's longer, full-line spot, where the brand's "Find New Roads" tagline was introduced. Scroll down to see this dedicated Sonic spot, along with the older ad, and remember, the Sonic is still - still - not a skateboard.
GM recalling 250,000 SUVs over door electronics
Mon, 20 Aug 2012After a door-fire investigation that dates back to February, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially announced a recall today that affects around 250,000 General Motors SUVs for a faulty driver's door module. The recall applies to the Buick Rainier, Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, Isuzu Ascender and Saab 9-7X from the 2006 and 2007 model years, as well as the 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT and GMC Envoy XL for vehicles sold and/or registered in the Snow Belt.
Road salt use in these midwestern and northern states can lead to corrosion of the driver's door module on these GMT360 and GMT370 vehicles, which allows water to come in contact with the circuit board. If shorted out, the vehicle's power door locks and power windows will not work, and could possibly lead to overheating and, in some circumstances, a fire. No official word on how many total vehicles caught on fire, but back in June, 28 fires had been reported to the government agency. A fix for the problem is still being worked out, but all affected vehicle owners will be notified by GM.

Next-gen Chevy Volt gets Corvette looks, adjustable regen levels
Sat, Dec 20 2014The hood may say "full speed ahead." The regenerative braking system says "slow down a bit." One person's automotive improvements is another's identity crisis, all in a day's work analyzing the new Chevrolet Volt. The next-generation version of General Motors' first extended-range plug in will include design touches taken from to the new Chevrolet Corvette, GM's iconic sports car. Hexagonal taillights and a "taut" hood will be part of the new package, Automotive News says, citing General Motors design chief Ed Wilbur. But does that mean the Volt is shedding any of its green-car cred? Not at all, if one considers that the Volt will also let the driver adjust the degree of regenerative braking using steering-wheel paddles to dial up and recapture as much energy as possible and engage in "one-pedal" driving or turn it down for easier coasting. Check out the 55-second video below featuring GM executives Mark Reuss and Andrew Farah trying out the Volt's new regenerative-braking system that was first used on the Cadillac ELR. GM will have more details for us when it unveils the 2016 Chevy Volt at the North American Auto Show in Detroit next month. The new version is said to have a larger battery, a longer all-electric driving range and more power, but Chevy's been fairly mum on those sorts of performance details so far.
