1966 Chevrolet Impala Convertible on 2040-cars
Middletown, Delaware, United States
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. On Apr-02-14 at 05:33:36 PDT, seller added the following information: ADDED COWL TAG PHOTOS ON REQUEST |

Weekly Recap: Lincoln Continental serves up the style, Cadillac CT6 delivers the substance in New York
Sat, Apr 4 2015Lincoln and Cadillac grabbed the spotlight this week at the New York Auto Show in a dramatic fashion that evoked the brands' glory days. America's two luxury carmakers went toe-to-toe with their glittering reveals and plans for ambitious expansion. Both were selling their technology, style and the promise of a better future. Cadillac vs. Lincoln. At the Javits Center, 2015 seemed a lot like 1956. Neither company was interested in drawing comparisons with the other, which is fair, and accurate. They're in vastly different places in terms of sales and the pace of their turnarounds, but they hope to reach the same eventual destination at the pinnacle of the luxury-car world. Lincoln used the element of surprise to great effect with the Continental concept. A production version is still at least a year away, and the company was vague on details. Officially, we don't even know if it is front- or rear-wheel drive, though speculation abounds. Who cares? The seats can be adjusted 30 ways! The Continental also showed off a bold chrome grille that will be the new face of Lincoln. The blue bomber also rolled on blinged-out 21-inch polished aluminum wheels, used a 3.0-liter EcoBoost engine and had huge LED head lights with "laser-assisted" high beams. All of this resulted in almost blinding attention. The concept drew rave reviews, stirred controversy with Bentley designers who argued Lincoln ripped them off, and most importantly, pointed a way forward for the newly determined brand that hopes to compete with Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Cadillac and Lexus.

With production starting late this year, Cadillac had more specifics at the ready. Engines? Cadillac has a couple V6s and a turbo four for sure. It's working on a hybrid, and has considered a V-Series variant. It's based on a new rear-wheel-drive, aluminum-intensive chassis called Omega, features an advanced collision-mitigation system with automatic braking and has a cabin that's laden with "leathers, exotic woods and carbon fiber." It will be assembled at GM's Detroit-Hamtramck factory and goes on sale next year. At this point, Cadillac is more than willing to talk about every except for the price. The devil was not in the details for Cadillac, as evidenced by the CT6. But it wasn't for Lincoln either.
Chevy Corvette gets Valet Mode with Performance Data Recorder [w/video]
Mon, 18 Aug 2014For the 2015-model-year, Chevrolet introduces Valet Mode for the Corvette, an enhancement to the Performance Data Recorder (PDR) already available and to your peace of mind. The PDR already captures 720p HD video with a windshield-mounted camera, records interior audio with a cabin microphone and gathers telemetry data using GPS, saving the data to an SD card in the glovebox. You can then watch your track-day antics with various information overlays on the center console screen.
Valet Mode will let you hit 'Replay' when your car gets pulled up front smelling vaguely of fricasseed clutch. Turned on by entering a four-digit code, it also locks the interior storage spaces and turns off the infotainment system. It can't be turned off until the code is re-entered. There's a press release below with more information as well as a video that explains how it works, with the obligatory dig at the 'Vette's biggest foe.
Chevy Bolt, GM's 200-mile EV, could debut in Detroit
Sat, Jan 10 2015It's not news that General Motors is working on a $30,000 electric vehicle with a 200-mile range. Then-CEO Dan Akerson said as much back in 2013. What we've heard before is that this mystery EV will be based on the Chevrolet Sonic and will will arrive in 2017. So, if that's all correct, then it would make sense that confirmation of this plan would come at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show, which is just around the corner. And lookee here... The Wall Street Journal is reporting that GM will unveil a concept Chevy Bolt at the Detroit show on Monday. That name sure makes sense, too, since GM registered that trademark back in August. According to the Journal, the rumored numbers – 200-mile range, $30,000 price – are still what's expected. Some new purported details are that the battery will come from LG Chem, which also makes the Volt's batteries, and that the Bolt will be a crossover that could be sold around the world. This all smacks of a preemptive strike against the Tesla Model 3, which is also due around 2017. Currently, GM sells the Spark EV in limited areas of the US, despite a lot of excitement for wider availability. To sell a 200-mile EV for $30,000 means that GM and LG Chem will likely have drastically reduced the cost of making a big plug-in vehicle battery. What this means for the new Volt and GM's future plans is something we're more than a little excited about to learn more of on Monday, the same day that we get to see the redesigned Chevy Volt for the first time. Well, aside from the CES teaser. Green Chevrolet Crossover Electric 2015 Detroit Auto Show Chevy Bolt bolt
