You are bidding on a 1963 chevy impala, this beauty has the rare anniversary gold paint, in the early 80s the car was purchased from an estate sale in Kentucky, which it only had 8,000 miles at that time, i have pictures of the car when it was original it was very clean with hardly any rust at all, these pictures will be included in the sale. In 2001 the impala recieved a frame off restoration,which I also have the pictures of that being done as well which will also be included in the sale.The 283 automatic car became a 350 4 speed manual at this time, I do have the original 283 if the winning bidder would like it. Im sure it would need to be rebuilt after years of sitting.The frame off was done right,every nut and bolt was replaced or restored as well,the frame,trunk floor boards, are solid with no rust since the restore the car has less than 4000 miles it has never seen rain,snow,salt etc. I am selling this car because I am down sizing and no longer have a home for it I will include as many pics as ebay will let me including the frame sitting on 4 tires. I have to sell quick so this will be a no reserve 5 day auction so please bid early and often for you will not be dissapointed. This car can be filled up and driven anywhere, I took one last 2 hour cruise yesterday and again would drive it anywhere,I felt like we should spend one more day together,before she gets her new owner, as I stated the car has to go so if your not gonna follow through please do not bid. Winnning bidder must immediately give a $1000 deposit through pay pal and the car must be picked up before June 5TH because of my down sizing I am forced to leave the state, so if you cant pick it up by 6/5/13 please dont bid.I am willing to pick anyone up at Chicagos Midway Airport if they need a ride, again this car can be driven anywhere with confidence,motor,tranny,lights, brakes, etc are all in working order,there are a couple flaws,a ding in the chrome here or there,a little chip in the steering wheel,nothing that is gonna cause the winner any headaches. There are absolutely no leaks ever under the car its been in my garage for years with no puddles,of any type,so no worries there.Again I hate the fact of selling it but there is no place for it where I am going,and I want her to have the home she deserves, as she has had the past 30 some yrs or so I also have the original owners manual,the original Kentucky plate that was on the car when it was registered in 1963 to its first owner I am the second. The Impala turned 50 this year and is near perfect,but remember she is 50 and the restore was 12 years ago, so its not percect,but it will win some shows thats for sure,there is no holes in dash, the original am stero sits in it still, so if you are looking for a car with jams you will have to buy some. The tires are good,brakes good I could go on and but I will let you judge, I have a crazy work schedule,so If there are any questions I will answer as fast as I can. The car must be paid in full at time of pick-up minus the $1000 deposit thru pay pal. The title will be signed over to the winner and off you go in your classic 1963 Impala that will ony increase in value as the years pass by. Again bid with confidence, I dont have a ton of feedback but its 100% I tell the truth. The car is all there you will not be dissapointed. Thanks for your interest,good luck and Happy Bidding.  I have had over 70 questions on the car,and most of them wanted a buy it now so I added that to the listing. Also about the miles the car had 8000 roughly on it when I purchased,when it thru the restore a 350 crate motor and a brand new muncie 4 speed where installed so the motor and tranny have approximately 4000 miles thats the bottom line the car now has almost 12,000 and drive train only 4000 thanks and Good Luck. The car may be sold at anytime,during this auction and if somebody wants to make a reasonable offer feel free I want to sell asap but its not a must and in my opinion the buy it now is $10,000 to cheap. There are not many of these around,and this one is a turn key car,drive it store it collect it whatever your pleasure.

What if the mid-engine Corvette is really a Cadillac?

Tue, Jun 28 2016

Call me crazy, but I'm not convinced the mid-engine Corvette is the next Corvette. The rumor is strong, yes. And, contrary to some of the comments on our site, Car and Driver - leader of the mid-engine Corvette speculation brigade - has a pretty good record predicting future models. But it's another comment that got me thinking: or maybe it's a Cadillac. There is clearly something mid-engine going on at GM, and I think it makes sense for the car to be a Cadillac. First off, check out how sweet the 2002 Cadillac Cien concept car still looks in the photo above. Second, there are too many holes in the mid-engine Corvette theory. There are too many holes in the mid-engine Corvette theory. The C7 is relatively young in Corvette years, starting production almost three years ago as a 2014 model. Showing a 2019 model at the 2018 North American International Auto Show would kill sales of a strong-selling car before its time. Not to mention it would only mean a short run for the Grand Sport, which was the best-selling version of the previous generation. More stuff doesn't add up. Mid-engine cars are, in general, more expensive. Moving the Vette upmarket leaves a void that the Camaro does not fill. There's not much overlap between Camaro and Corvette customers. Corvette owners are older and enjoy features like a big trunk that holds golf clubs. Mid-engine means less trunk space and alienating a happy, loyal buyer. Also, more than 60 years of history. The Corvette is an icon along the likes of the Porsche 911 and Ford Mustang. I'm not sure the car-buying public wants a Corvette that abandons all previous conventions. And big changes bring uncertainty - I don't think GM would make such a risky bet. Chevrolet could build a mid-engine ZR1, you might say, and keep the other Corvettes front-engine. Yes they could, and it would cost a ton of money. And they still need to fund development of that front-engine car. I highly doubt the corporate accountants would go for that. But a Cadillac? Totally. Cadillac is in the middle of a brand repositioning. GM is throwing money at this effort. A mid-engine halo car is the just the splash the brand needs to shake off the ghosts of Fleetwoods past. And it's already in Cadillac President Johan De Nysschen's playbook. He was in charge of Audi's North America arm when the R8 came out. A Caddy sports car priced above $100,000 isn't that unreasonable when you can already price a CTS-V in that range.

GM announces 3 new recalls affecting 1.7M vehicles in North America [w/video]

Mon, Mar 17 2014

Still embroiled in the ongoing ignition switch recall, General Motors announced today three more discrete recalls, affecting a grand total of 1,546,900 vehicles in the US. The Detroit News reports that some 1.7 million vehicles are affected overall in North America. The first and largest of the trio of new recalls concerns some 1.18-million Buick Enclave and GMC Acadia crossovers from the 2008-2013 model years, Chevrolet Traverse from 2009-2013 (pictured above) and Saturn Outlook vehicles from 2008-2010. All of the crossover utilities may have an issue with the wiring harness for their seat-mounted side airbags. Apparently, the vehicles are equipped with a Service Air Bag warning light that, if ignored, "will eventually result in the non-deployment of the side impact restraints." Those restraints include the side airbags, a front-center airbag if the vehicle is so equipped and seatbelt pretensioners. Dealers of affected vehicles will be instructed to remove driver and passenger side airbag wiring harness connectors, and then "splice and solder the wires together." The second recall affects 303,000 Chevrolet Express (pictured right) and GMC Savana vans from model years 2009-2014, and with gross vehicle weights under 10,000 pounds. Said vehicles do not comply with a head impact requirement for unrestrained occupants, and will need a reworking of the instrument panel material to be sent back on the road. It doesn't sound as though there's a quick fix for this one, as the GM press release states: "Unsold vehicles have been placed on a stop delivery until development of the solution has been completed and parts are available." Finally, the third recall affects 63,900 Cadillac XTS luxury sedans from model years 2013 and 2014. A brake booster pump may be susceptible to corrosion by way of the relay, potentially causing and electrical short, overheating, melting of plastic components and even engine fires. GM says it is aware of two engine fires in unsold XTS models and two cases of melted parts. Repairs for the issues affecting the XTS have not not mentioned by GM in the release. The Detroit News is also reporting that along with news of the triple-recall, GM is taking a $300-million credit to help pay for the repair costs, and to deal with the ongoing costs associated with the ignition switch recall. In an attempt to explain just what GM has been doing in the face of these very serious issues, newly minted CEO Mary Barra has addressed the issues in a new video.

Next Corvette ZR1 to get 700 horsepower?

Tue, 19 Feb 2013

Word has it General Motors may offer as much as 700 horsepower in the C7 Corvette ZR1. Motor Trend reports the next Corvette Z06 will continue to rely on its naturally aspirated 7.0-liter V8 engine for thrust, but the lump will deliver substantially more power. How much more? MT says the engine could deliver up to 600 ponies. That's a jump of 95 horsepower over the current Z06, though no figures have been finalized as of yet. Right now, GM is reportedly waiting to see what sort of grunt it can glean from the next ZR1.
The automaker has already made it clear it will resurrect the LT5 name for the new supercharged V8, and if GM is already pulling 600 from the Z06, the big dog ZR1 would theoretically offer 700 horsepower. Either way, the range-topping Corvette will be suitably insulated from its less potent siblings. Stay tuned. We aren't likely to see the Z06 for at least a year, with the ZR1 trailing along at some point there after.
