Selling my 1966 Impala Super Sport. This car has 66,465 original miles at present. I purchased this car in 2005 from the nephew of the original owners who inherited it at their passing.It has always been kept under cover(garage or pole barn). This SS has the numbers matching 327 v-8 and powerglide transmission. She runs exceptionally well with no problems. This was an all original,down to the date coded spark plug wires car when I bought it. Originally Irmine white exterior, I did have it painted 2005GM Arrival Blue metallic after stripping her down to bare metal.All moldings and emblems were removed before painting.There was never any rust or damage to the body.She sports all the original sheetmetal in place where the factory installed it. The interior is ALL original with the exception of the under dash CD unit. The only places of concern inside are the bottoms of the bucket seats have seam splits,(They are 47 years old after all)and a couple of cracks in the original dash pad. Everything else is in great shape for the age. There is still one build sheet under the carpet and I have another one from under the rear seat.Everything inside works including the seat belt retractors and the clock will run if the car is driven regularly and often.Even the peddle rubber and chrome show little wear. I have added a few modern upgrades to make her more driver friendly and safer however I kept every original piece I removed.They will of course go with the car. The center console has the original carpet in place along with the console light.Some of the upgrades include power(front disc) brakes,HEI distributor and plug wires,dual exhaust and mufflers(I did not keep the old exhaust),Edlebrock 600 CFM carb.,new fuel pump,radiator and air shocks.I installed a set of old style slots wrapped in BFGoodrich Radial T/As.(I have the original steel wheels and SS wheel covers).I also had many new front suspension parts installed(bushings and the like). The car has all original glass and even the original trunk spatter paint and trunk light. I really do like and enjoy this SS and the fact that it was never abused,wrecked or neglected. That said I believe I have put less than 3,000 miles on her since '05 and I hate to see her sit. So if you're looking for a really nice turn key Impala SS, that you can drive as is or add you own flavor to,I don't think you'll find one nicer for the money. In picture #3,youll see a reflection off the driveway at the door bottom. There is nothing wrong with the doors paint.I'm not looking to make a killing on her but I'm not going to give her away either. Check the price books and NADA listing. I can't part with her for less than $15,000 and I feel she's a deal at that price.So bid with confidence and bid only if you mean it. No scammers and no 0% feedbacks w/o contacting me first.Shipping is up to buyer but I will be available to help with loading.I reserve the right to end this auction at anytime. Thanks for looking.

Pure Vision Design TT Camaro has 1,400 reasons to want it
Wed, 06 Nov 2013We've talked about Pure Vision Design before, a California-based company that made waves at last year's SEMA show with its Martini-liveried, Indy-car-powered Ford Mustang. That same car later starred in a Petrolicious video we showed you just a few weeks back. The company's latest creation is a menacing car it calls the Pure Vision Design TT Camaro. Based on a 1972 model, this car shares the Martini Mustang's clean styling and obsession with details.
Unlike the Mustang, which draws its power from a mid-60s Lotus-Ford Indycar engine, the "TT" in this Camaro's name implies something far more potent. The Nelson Racing Engines 427-cubic-inch V8 has been fitted with a pair of turbochargers, with a claimed output of 1,400 horsepower. That's almost 1,000 more than the Martini Mustang.
A six-speed Magnum transmission dispatches that power to the ground, while Pirelli PZero tires are tasked with (somehow) trying to grip the road. Baer brakes hide behind those HRE rims, while JRI coilovers and HyperTech springs bless the Camaro with some degree of competency in the bends.
Nissan Leaf sets another monthly sales record, Chevy Volt remains steady
Mon, Nov 3 2014Here we go again. Another month in the books and another month of record sales by the Nissan Leaf in the US. For October, the world's best-selling pure EV sold 2,589 units, which is 29.3 percent more than October 2013. That makes it 20 times in a row that Nissan can say that last month sales were better than the same month a year before. All told, Nissan has sold 24,411 Leafs in the US this year, a new record, reflecting an overall Leaf sales rate that is up 35 percent, year-to-date. Nissan isn't stopping, either. A new TV ad, one that, "encourages consumers to kick gas" by saving money on fuel will start airing today in major markets, according to Toby Perry, director of Nissan's EV marketing. You can watch it below. As for the Chevy Volt, things remained steady last month in the face of a new model that's coming in the second half of 2015. Chevy sold 1,439 Volts last month, which is about the same as September (1,394) but down 28.8 percent from the October 2013 despite GM having its best overall US October sales this year since 2007. So far, 2014 Volt year-to-date sales are down 14.9 percent through the end of October compared to 2013. And that wraps up the flash report on monthly sales for these two long-standing plug-in vehicles in the US market. As always, we'll have our in-depth write-up of US green car sales available soon.

These cars are headed to the Great Crusher In The Sky
Fri, 24 Aug 2012It happens every year. We bid adieu to some cars and trucks that will be missed, and say good riddance to others wondering how they stayed around so long. Whether they're being killed off for slow sales or due to a new product coming along to replace them, the list of vehicles being discontinued after 2012 is surprisingly long and diverse.
CNN Money has compiled a list of departing vehicles, to which we've added a few more of our own. In the slow sales column, cars like the Lexus HS 250h, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and the full Maybach lineup appear, while the Ford Escape Hybrid, Mazda CX-7 and Hyundai Veracruz are all having their gaps filled with more modern and more fuel-efficient alternatives. Obvious exceptions to the rule include models that still sell in decent numbers like the Jeep Liberty and the Chrysler Town & Country (which will eventually be replaced by a crossover-like vehicle).
Check out our gallery of discontinued cars above, then scroll down for more information.
