Parents have had this vehicle for over ten years, and what was once a project car is now too much to do for them now. Unfortunately, I live too far to help with the restoration and for them it's time to let it go.
Odometer says 10469. But do not know if that is 110469 or 210469. I'll have to review the clear title again to confirm.
Have a 1964 Impala Hardtop Coupe, 2-door. It has a crate motor 327, so it is not the original I have been told. Had the car looked over briefly and was told that the dipstick on original Chevy engines in that era were on the driver's side, so I can only assume it is a crate motor. We were unable to find block ID numbers on it, but did find the firing order cast in the intake. I don't know much about all the identifying features of cars from that era (or any era), so doing my best to supply as much info and pics as I can.
Transmission is a 2-speed automatic (I say 2 because only D-L on steering column indicator). Is it a Powerglide, don't know. Didn't get under the car to check it out, and again, living so far away, not able to do much with checking that out. My understanding is that they were pretty populat during that time, so it's a toss up whether it has one or not. Unfortunately, can't really check on that right now and the folks sure wouldn't be able to determine that.
Interior appears to have been re-upolstered when the car was purchased. Both the front and back seats were covered in a vinyl covering. I removed the front seat covers, and left the back on, so that you could see the product. If you want to put that back on, it's in the ample trunk. Seats look good, and underneath appears to be the original springs. Don't have a lot of history on the car, but think Dad bought it for the nostalgic value, he had a '64 convertible in a similar color in his heyday. And looks like the replacement carpet was just laid on top of the original, as there is another layer of carpet underneath.
Ignition and locks were replaced with a newer set, as well as the lock to the trunk and glovebox (which does not latch). It will need some electrical work as I could not get all the interior lights to come on when opening the doors (or to stay on). No A/C, and the heater core was bypassed. I plugged it back in and ran the car and got some leaking, so bypassing it again. I did not check under the carpet to see if there was any rust damage.
Exterior color is not original. Supposed to be Ermine White, but the repainted color caught Dad's eyes. It will need another coat, some holidays visible, but the car appears pretty straight given its age. I unfortunately did not get any pics from under the car, but I did see some bubbling on the driver's side front and rear panels, pics below, indicating some small rust areas. Again, the body is pretty straight overall. The molding was removed prior to buying the vehicle and given to us loosely. It's in bad shape and missing the clips/retaining nuts. The old trim will be included with the auction purchase. There is also some trim work missing around the headlights, both the light itself and on the front quarter panels around the front grill. The passenger side mirror and gasket (?) are also missing.
Appears the vehicle was in an accident and the front passenger panel was replaced, hence the missing front trim work and tweaked bumper. I also noticed that the passenger fender well was damaged some, but still installed.
Mechanically, it's almost 50 years old. But it runs. Front brake hardware was replaced this year with over-the-counter parts from local auto parts store. Some parts ordered online, as they are harder to come by. Car runs a little rough, but running on tank gas (fuel gauge off, reads full with 2 gallons). Drive it around the shop to keep the juices flowing, and it will need some work. Non-original carburetor part of crate motor's lifeline. But it does run, shift, brake. Car does not have current tags or inspection sticker. Windshield motor works, but not pumping water/fluid. The wipers move in full range, but cannot get motor to prime. Wheels are original type with decorative ring. Tires are so-so, but not sure on how old they are, but guess they are the same ones purchased over ten years ago.
All the glass is in good shape. There is some old tint on the rear windows that will have to be removed for full restoration. Of course, I did not get enough pictures to show every detail of the car. Sure someone will want some additional photos, but unfortunately, won't be able to get them until later this summer when I go back to visit. If there are several interested in purchasing, can make arrangements to have a day to show the car in the Arlington, Texas area. It will take a little scheduling on my part as I do not work a regular job, so time off is sometimes difficult.
The kicker: pay the Buy-It-Now price and we'll order all the side molding trim work for this vehicle (some 14 pieces) of reproduction quality and the retaining hardware. We'll also order a pair of front fender emblems (V-flagged for 327), the "Impala" letters (2 sets for rear panels), and a pair of Impala logos for the rear panels, all for the 1964 Impalas. The Buy-It-Now price will also include a reproduction heater core. I really don't want to get under that and replace it. I promise that these parts will be from reputable companies and new reproduction replacement parts.
But feel free to ask any questions, I'll do my best to answer. Of course, there is no warranty or guarantees with this vehicle and new owners will be responsible for taxes, registration, and any fees outside of eBay. Thanks for looking.

The Z06 is just about everything we got in the last ZR1, but better.
After a bright-yellow false start, here is the real thing: the fourth-generation, 2015 Corvette Z06. If Chevrolet makes a ZR1 version of the C7 Corvette, it's going to be absolutely mega, because the Z06 is just about everything we got in the last ZR1, but better.

Three decades after it was stolen, a 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air has been returned to a Northern California man - in better shape than when he originally owned it. The Santa Rosa Press Democrat reports Ian "Skip" Wilson was shocked to get a call from the California Highway Patrol informing him that his long-lost Chevy was taken off an Australia-bound cargo ship. The 65-year-old says the car has had a lot of work done on it since it disappeared from his Lake County home in 1984. It was returned with a monogrammed interior, 17-inch racing wheels, rack-and-pinion steering and a 350-horsepower V-8 engine. The retired mechanic says the two-door was in sorry shape when he bought it for $375 in 1975 with plans for fixing it up.

Variety, as they say, is the spice of life. That's a lesson that is currently being taught to General Motors, because despite a strong showing from its 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, the General's pickup sales still can't best those of cross-town rival Ford.
With 59,163 trucks moved, GM fell just over 1,000 units short of toppling Ford, and one of the main reasons for that, according to GM's chief sales analyst, was due to a lack of variety in the engines and body styles available on dealer lots. "We are still over-weighted toward crew-cab V8 trucks. Our light-duty mix will moderate over time as our launch progresses," said Kurt McNeil.
Loading dealers with the popular combination of the 5.3-liter V8 and the four-door, Crew Cab body style was intentional during the truck's launch, but as supplies of leftover 2013 models, which are being sold at heavy incentives, are beginning to wane, both budget-conscious and high-dollar buyers are looking elsewhere instead of at the volume model pickups.
