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.

GM recalling 15k midsize pickups over leaky brakes

Mon, Jun 8 2015

General Motors has announced a recall in coordination with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration related to the brakes on the 2015 Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon. In the 14,838 units in the United States estimated to be affected, the front brake calipers may be leaking fluid. Needless to say, that could make them less effective, which could hinder the vehicle's ability to stop in time to avoid a collision. The affected units were all manufactured between January 6 and December 24, 2014. The fix seems simple and straightforward enough, with dealers being instructed to inspect the front brake calipers, and replace them if necessary. See below for all the details from NHTSA. RECALL Subject : Brake Fluid Leak Report Receipt Date: MAY 12, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V278000 Component(s): SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC Potential Number of Units Affected: 14,838 Manufacturer: General Motors LLC SUMMARY: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2015 Chevrolet Colorado, and GMC Canyon trucks manufactured January 6, 2014, to December 24, 2014. The affected vehicles may experience the front brake calipers leaking brake fluid. This is due to air pockets, an imperfection in the metal caliper body. CONSEQUENCE: If the vehicle experiences a brake fluid leak it can increase the stopping distance, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash. REMEDY: GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the front-brake calipers if necessary, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin July 10, 2015. Owners may contact GM customer service at 1-800-222-1020 (Chevrolet), or 1-800-462-8782 (GMC). GM's number for this recall is 14888. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

Burt Reynolds' vehicles up for auction at Barrett-Jackson

Tue, Sep 25 2018

Burt Reynolds' influence on car culture cannot be overstated. Be it "Smokey and the Bandit" or "Cannonball Run," his films inspired a generation of car enthusiasts. He died a few weeks back from cardiac arrest at age 82. This weekend, four vehicles from Reynolds' personal collection — three Pontiacs and a Chevy — will go up for auction at Barrett-Jackson in Las Vegas. It seems Reynolds had plans to sell the cars before he passed. He even filmed a short teaser for the auction and planned to attend the event himself. Three of the cars are Pontiac Trans Ams. Two are re-creations of the cars he drove in "Bandit" and the film "Hooper." Both are 1978 models. The third Trans Am is from 1984 and was used to promote Reynolds' USFL team, the Tampa Bay Bandits. The fourth vehicle is a 1978 Chevy R30 pickup truck. It's styled like the truck he drove in "Cannonball Run." None of the vehicles were actually used in the movies. But they were registered in his name, making them far more legitimate than some other movie-inspired clones. It's unclear how many Bandit Trans Ams Reynolds has owned over the years. Another car connected to him sold for $450,000 back in 2014. His death is sure to drive the price of these new cars even higher.

2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray convertible headed for Geneva debut

Mon, 28 Jan 2013

While most of the world is still coming down from all the hype surrounding the debut of the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this month, we're already looking to the future. And according to Autoweek, the next chapter in the C7 story will unfold at the Geneva Motor Show in March. That's right, General Motors is reportedly using the Swiss stage as its venue to debut the Corvette Stingray convertible.
If this strikes you as odd, you aren't alone. After all, with a car that's such an American icon, we'd fully expect Chevrolet to unveil it here on our shores in either Chicago or New York. But according to Autoweek, GM is looking to boost export sales of its halo car, and since the C7 was engineered to compete with the world's best and brightest, showing it off in Geneva is somewhat of a smart move. What's more, those with sharp memories will recall that GM used the Geneva expo to debut the sixth-generation C6 Corvette convertible back in March 2004, so there's also a precedent.
Details surrounding the Corvette Stingray convertible are still slim, though we fully expect the 6.2-liter V8 and choice of either six-speed automatic or seven-speed manual transmissions to carry over unchanged. Prototypes spotted on the road showed the car fitted with a cloth convertible roof, as well.
