Condition: Used: A vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections. ...

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.

EcoCar3 will convert Camaro to bitchin' eco rides

Sat, Apr 26 2014

In the 47-year-history of the Chevrolet Camaro, there have been countless college-age kids spending a ton of time getting under the hood and souping 'em up. Now, General Motors is adding a twist to the concept by donating 16 Camaros for the EcoCar challenge that puts university teams together to wring out better fuel-efficiency out of various vehicles. No word on whether there will be donuts on anyone's lawn, as suggested by 80's punks the Dead Milkmen, but the idea's never a bad one. EcoCar3 will feature 16 teams such as Arizona State, Penn State, Ontario's University of Waterloo and, of course, Detroit's Wayne State University. They'll spend the next four years "[reducing] environmental impact, while maintaining the muscle and performance expected from this iconic American car," as the EcoCar organizers say. The goal is to maintain body design and safety standards while boosting efficiency and lowering emissions, but the actual process is far more complicated than that description suggests. The California Air Resources Board (CARB) and Bosch are among the sponsors of the contest, which is also put on by the US Department of Energy and managed by Argonne National Laboratory. Penn State won Year Two of the three-year EcoCar 2 competition with its E85 plug-in hybrid electric vehicle converted out of a Chevy Malibu. The grand-prize winner of EcoCar2 will be announced in June. Check out the EcoCar3 website and see the announcement video below for more details. This content is hosted by a third party.

Nissan Leaf makes it 19 in a row for record sales; Chevy Volt drops 21 percent

Wed, Oct 1 2014

The Nissan Leaf continues its streak of "best month ever" sales with 2,881 EVs sold in September. Compared to the 1,953 sold in September 2013, that represents an increase of 47.5 percent and, as Nissan itself must be tired of saying by now, it marks yet another best month ever, same as last month and now the 19th in a row. Okay, sure, we know, Nissan will tout this run for as long as it can, but we're certainly expecting it each month, so if it ever doesn't happen, it'll be interesting to see how Nissan talks about it. Year-to-date, Leaf sales are up 35.7 percent compared to 2013. In any case, Nissan's director of EV marketing, Toby Perry, sent AutoblogGreen a statement that said, "Nissan Leaf owners have turned into some of our best marketers, and they jump at any opportunity to share their enthusiasm with friends and family. Take National Drive Electric Week – a grassroots celebration of all things EV and the perfect platform for LEAF owners to showcase the benefits of going electric. After celebrating with EV owners in more than 130 cities across the country, we saw a significant increase in Leaf showroom visits with midweek traffic just as heavy as what we see on the weekends." Year-to-date, Leaf sales are up 35.7 percent compared to 2013. Over on the Chevy Volt front, things aren't quite as rosy. After coming off a good August (the best sales month of 2014 by almost 500 units), Volt sales were down to 1,394, a decrease of 21.1 percent compared to September 2013. So far this year, Volt sales are down 13.2 percent year-over-year. It's kind of a stretch, but perhaps people are already waiting for the next-gen Volt, which will be revealed at the Detroit Auto Show in January, to go on sale? Speaking of things we say every month, our in-depth round-up of US green car sales is in process and will be appearing soon. Until then, please discuss how these two long-standing plug-in champs are doing on the sales floor. Green Chevrolet Nissan Electric Hybrid PHEV ev sales hybrid sales

Weekly Recap: Lamborghini to build SUV

Sat, May 30 2015

Finally, Lamborghini will build a sport utility vehicle. The Italian supercar maker confirmed this week that it will launch a luxury SUV in 2018. It will be built at Lamborghini's soon-to-expand factory in Sant'Agata Bolognese in Italy, and will double the company's current sales volume. Lamborghini did not announce a name for the vehicle or other details, but noted a concept version, the Urus, was displayed at the Beijing motor show in 2012. It will be sold around the world, but it's expected to be a critical offering in the United States, China, and the Middle East. The automaker projects the SUV will sell about 3,000 units per year, and it will be the third product in Lamborghini's portfolio. It currently sells the Huracan and Aventador supercars. "The introduction of a third model line endorses the stable and sustainable growth of the company and signifies for us the beginning of a new era," Lamborghini chief executive Stephan Winkelmann said in a statement. The project is also a boon for Italy, which will get 500 new jobs in the Emilia Romagna region as Lamborghini's factory will nearly double in size. Ian Fletcher, principal analyst for IHS Automotive, said the SUV will position Lamborghini for future growth. "It could well also bring new customers to the brand [who] may find the dramatic styling of Lamborghini products appealing, but find its typical sports cars restrictive," he said. "If it is a success, the SUV could be a catalyst to Lamborghini broadening its portfolio further." OTHER NEWS & NOTES GM invests in Chevy Camaro factory General Motors is investing $175 million to upgrade its factory in Lansing, MI, to build the 2016 Chevy Camaro. The investment will pay for new tooling and equipment. The improvements include three new paint systems and two new robotic framers. GM will add a second shift at the factory to build the Camaro, resulting in 500 jobs. The automaker had dropped the plant to one shift last year amid slow sales for its products, the Cadillac ATS and CTS. GM is spending $5.4 billion over the next three years to upgrade its US facilities. Last week, GM announced plans to spend $439 million to build a new paint shop for the Chevy Corvette. While the Camaro and Corvette plant improvements are intriguing to enthusiasts, GM also confirmed this week that it is investing $1.2 billion in its Fort Wayne (IN) factory that builds trucks.
