Up for sale is my 1966 Impala convertible which has been in my family since day one. It was purchased new by my grandmother and later passed down to me. The reason for my sale is based on lack of driving it and also to create space in my garage for my wife for our recent harsh winters. The Impala has the original 283 cid V-8, 2 barrel engine with a powerglide transmission. 86,187 original miles. I had some restoration work done about 7 years ago which involved replacing the left quarter panel and patching the lower right quarter. The engine is re-built and has gone less than 2,000 miles since restoration work was done. The trunk was repaired, but they put a patch panel above original trunk floor. Entire car was painted in original code Y yellow. The car starts easily and runs well and I can't take it out without someone asking me about it. Frame looks solid as is most of the undercarriage. Here is what the car needs to make it more of a "show" car rather than just a great cruiser: New chrome, there is a crack in back right quarter panel (something slid in the trunk when I was turning and put a small dent/crack in the new paint) , seats have a couple small tears, could use a tune-up, convertible motor is struggling (under $300 online), convertible top fitment when closed (see pics), rubber trim throughout is getting old, I've recently discovered 2 fist-sized holes in floorboards on driver side. The car is about 80% and just needs the extra 20% of work to make it more special. I hate to let this car go, but I never drive it and it is time for someone else to enjoy it and show it some love. I mentioned a lot of the bad stuff, but this car is a turn key and go car that is ready for cruise nights and does not need anything to enjoy it right now. The top is in good condition and has always passed Delaware inspection and is currently tagged antique.

I will include new door panels and new carpet which I had planned to install.

It is hard to sell this car, but it is finally the right time to do it. I'm hoping whoever buys it will fully restore it to its full glory.

First privately owned Corvette Stingray blitzes 1/4 mile in 12.23 at 114.88 mph

Tue, 01 Oct 2013

Chevrolet's latest road rocket, the Corvette Stingray, is a very quick car. If one needs further proof of that, we recommend they take a look at this video from Hennessey of what is claimed to be the first privately owned C7 Corvette to make a pass down the quarter mile. Not just any quarter mile, mind, this black C7 blitzed its way down the tuner's primary testing dragstrip. The Chevrolet ran the quarter in just 12.23 seconds at 114.88 miles per hour. That is a very quick time for a stock car.
Equipped with the Z51 package and a six-speed automatic transmission, not only does the C7 run a solid time, but it does so with little to no drama. That won't last though, as Hennessey will likely return it to its owner with far more power - we just hope they show a drag run of the completed product. Take a look below to watch the C7's 12.23-second run on video.

2016 Chevy Volt will not need premium gas

Wed, Oct 29 2014

Buried in the new technical details of the 2016 Chevy Volt released yesterday was a throwaway line about a small but important change that's due to the new 1.5-liter, four-cylinder engine. The first-gen Volt has always required premium gas but the new powerplant will be happy burning plain old regular. The Volt's chief engineer, Andrew Farah, told AutoblogGreen that the change was due to today's Volt owners explaining they were not happy paying for top-shelf petroleum. "The ability to use regular unleaded was based directly on customer feedback," he said. "Since the range extender is an all-new engine, it was optimized to use regular unleaded at the outset. Using regular fuel will not have effect on vehicle acceleration or other performance factors." As Larry Nitz, GM's executive director of vehicle electrification, told AutoblogGreen yesterday, the new engine is more powerful and quieter than the outgoing 1.4-liter engine that's used in the current Volt. Fuel economy and EV range specs for the next-gen Volt are not expected until the full car is revealed at the Detroit Auto Show in January.
