CONTACT JEFF AT 570 977 0741. Up for sale and your consideration is a very rare equipped car. The ultimate factory sleeper ! What we have here for sale is a 1965 Chevy Impala 2-door hardtop bench seat car with a 340 horsepower 409 & 4-Speed & 4.11 rear. Extremely rare in this combination as early 1965 was the end of production for the legendary 409 engines. They were only offered until February of 1965 and then the 396 big blocks replaced them. So to find a 409 & 4-speed car today in this package is an extremely rare offering. Please take the time to look over all the photos here. I have a total of 50 photos of the car that I will be happy to send to any prospective buyer upon request. Just give me a call and I can send them out. I don't have a window sticker or a build sheet for the car, but I feel this is a true 409 4-Speed car based on physical inspection. It has dual steel lines coming from the gas tank to the engine that have obviously been there since 1965. The fuel line is 3/8". The original back up light switch was old and inoperative and was replaced with a new one. The bell housing, transmission, shifter and driveline all appear original. The original hold down ring for the shifter boot was found under the seat and used to hold down the new replacement shifter boot which is unique to a bench seat car. The numbers are as follows: The VIN # is 164375C111222 designating a 1965 Impala built in Southgate California. The last six numbers (production #s) are just plain interesting...111222 . The data plate shows a C code for Ermine White and a trim code of 811 for black vinyl interior. There is a # 70 after ACC on the data plate that I couldn't find a breakdown for. Engine code on engine flat boss is JB designating 1965 409-340HP manual trans engine. The original carburetor #7025123 was working poorly, so it was removed and replaced with a late model Edelbrock so the car would be driveable without problems with the fuel. The original carburetor of course goes with the car and the original tag is still on the carburetor. The 4-Speed trans is # 3851325 which designates a 1964-1965 Muncie M20 unit with a 2.56 1st gear. Transmission also appears to have been in the car since 1965. The engine runs great and appears to have been rebuilt somewhere along the line with new freeze out plugs installed. Since I don't have any receipts for a rebuild I can only assume by the way it runs and it's appearance that is a rebuilt engine. It is freshly serviced as well with an engine oil and filter change, new spark plugs, new air filter, and new fuel filter. The rear differential is a 12-Bolt non-posi unit with 4.11 gears. I do have a posi rear with 3.23 gears that goes with the car at the buyers request. I also have the original floor mats to include with the car and there is a trunk mat included. The interior has been renewed with new upholstery, door panels, carpet, headliner, etc. The factory in dash tachometer works. A rare optional clock sits on top of the dash. The car is also equipped with a rare tilt wheel. The lights and wipers all work. The AM radio and heater blower motor do not work. Underside photos of the car are provided so nothing is left to the imagination. Although this is a California car, it was stored outside for some time while in California, and unfortunately had worn out window and trunk seals, causing some rust on the left side floor and trunk. The rear floor was patched from the inside. The trunk floor was professionally replaced along with the gas tank being replaced with a new unit. Please refer to the underside photo and in trunk photo. Looking beyond the left side floor rust one can see that the rest of the underside is all-solid 1965 metal including body mounts and floor supports which are notorious for rust. Window and trunk seals have been renewed. Front suspension and shock absorbers have been renewed. Dual exhaust has also been replaced with Flowmaster mufflers and pipes which have a fantastic sound ! All the glass is fine. The body is rust free and has a presentable appearance with a few small touch ups. This is not a show car but certainly does qualify as an extremely rare one ! Since this car was purchased pretty much as you see it with only minor upgrades, my description is based soley on a thorough physical inspection. If any prospective buyer has any questions on the integrity of this car, I welcome the opportunity to show this car in person by appointment only to answer any questions. Although this is not a show car, it would certainly be a hit at the local cruise or car show. It's what I call "show me another one" car. I have a clean Pennsylvania title in hand ready for transfer to the new owner. The car has Antique status on the title and shows California as the prior title state. Mileage is listed as exempt on the title as many older cars are that do not have a sixth digit on the speedometer. The title will be processed properly by a licensed Pennsylvania Notary official into the new owners name. A complete bill of sale will also be provided to the new owner in their name. There will be no exceptions to this. Again looking to complete an honest sale here.
On Jun-07-13 at 10:25:45 PDT, seller added the following information:
After receiving multiple requests I forgot to include the engine casting number. It is 3857656 which in the book states 1965 Passenger car 409. The flat boss on the front of the motor is stamped T1211JB That corresponds to the Tonowanda NY assembly plant for engines and it was built on December 11th. I also have registration and insurance cards for the car from California and a shipping manifest for the car when it was shipped from California to Pennsylvania on July 16, 2002 so it has spent only 10 years and 11 months in Pennsylvania. Most of its life was spent in California.

Which of these five plug-ins should win the 2017 Green Car of the Year?
Tue, Nov 8 2016It's going to be a competitive race for the 2017 Green Car Of The Year. With a minivan in the running for the first time in ages, the five finalists announced by Green Car Journal today include five very different plug-in vehicles. As Ron Cogan, the editor and publisher of Green Car Journal, said in a statement, "electrification is now considered by most automakers an essential technology for current and future high-efficiency models." Let's check out the list: Toyota Prius Prime, the updated plug-in version of the world's best-selling hybrid. Chevy Bolt, GM's all-new entry into the long-range EV game. Chrysler Pacifica, a family hauler with the ability to go 30 miles on electric power. Kia Optima. The nomination is for the full line-up, but really the hybrid and plug-in hybrid models are the green stars here. BMW 330e iPerformance, one of the automaker's many new plug-in hybrids that bring battery power to models outside the i sub-brand. Green Car Journal will announce the winners at the Los Angeles Auto Show on November 17th, along with some, "other green transportation announcements," whatever that means. Last year, the winner was the 2016 Chevy Volt, the first model to snatch up two wins. Which do you think should win this year?

The Opel GT is the concept General Motors should build for the US
Sat, Feb 27 2016Now is the time. General Motors should double-down on performance cars and build the Opel GT concept that's set to debut next week at the Geneva Motor Show. Better yet, sell it in the United States as the Chevy GT. Consumers are showing a thirst for performance cars not seen in decades. Ford has them coming in waves, with everything from the F-150 Raptor to a hotted-up Fusion. FCA US is unrepentantly building loads of Hellcats. GM should respond. The General's cupboard is hardly bare. With the Corvette, Camaro, and Cadillac's V-Series, GM has more than enough to compete with its crosstown rivals and anything Europe or Japan can throw at it. But there's also an opportunity. There's not many front-mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive, two-seat sports cars out there like the Opel GT concept. A Chevy GT that used that layout and captured some of the concept car's proportions and curves would ignite a different kind of passion in enthusiasts. It would be Miata-like. With Chevy branding, this sports car would be the everyday exotic. The concept has a turbocharged 1.0-liter three-cylinder engine, which makes about 143 horsepower to motivate a structure that weighs less than 2,200 pounds. It can hit 60 miles per hour in less than eight seconds. All of those numbers are within the front-engined Miata's territory. This new Opel is inspired by two great mid-1960s concepts that helped put its design studio, and that of its sister brand, the British Vauxhall, on the map. (The GT concept is also technically a Vauxhall, as the brands are linked in GM's European strategy.) One of them, the '66 Vauxhall XVR remained a concept. The '65 Opel Experimental GT was on the road by 1968. That shows this is doable. There's precedent. The Saturn Sky and Pontiac Solstice shared a chassis with a modern GT during that trio's brief run. If GM ever makes this concept, Opel and Vauxhall should get their versions. But Chevy is the one that could make this car a global icon. Chevrolet GT. Make it happen. News & Analysis News: The potential return of the Ford Bronco is generating a ton of attention. Analysis: That's not news, per se. But when the Bronco6G.com fan site did a rendering of a next-generation Bronco, it almost broke the Internet. Everyone from Automotive News to Jalopnik picked up the illustrations. Our own post has drawn a lot of traffic and passionate responses. People are clamoring for the Bronco's return.
GM profits threatened by glut of pickups
Wed, 05 Dec 2012Automotive News reports that General Motors may slash production or ramp up discounts in order to deal with an oversupply of pickup trucks. GM currently has more than double the standard supply of pickups, and the vehicles are threatening to dampen the automaker's profits for 2013. Typically, automakers try to sustain a 60- to 75-day supply of vehicles, but GM is currently loaded with a 139-day supply, as of last month. At the end of November, the automaker was sitting on 245,853 units.
The manufacturer says that it will adjust production accordingly before laying any incentives on the profitable pickups. Even so, there's some concern that the inventory swell could hurt the roll-out of the next-generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. GM actually began slowly stepping back production in August, but it's clear the company will take further action as it heads toward the end of the year and into the next. Analysts predict the automaker could reduce pickup manufacturing by nearly half in the first quarter of 2013.
That still may not be enough to keep GM from laying extra cash on the Silverado and GMC Sierra. While the company's incentive spending was down in November compared to the same month in 2011, both the Ram 1500 and Ford F-150 saw double-digit percentage increases in sales last month while the Silverado and Sierra numbers slid compared to a year prior. Incentive spending could help move more trucks and add some balance to the GM inventory surge.
