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.

Can Fernando Alonso win Indy? Here's why and why maybe not
Sat, May 27 2017SPEEDWAY, IN – The month of May has been a joy ride for Fernando Alonso at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The two-time Formula 1 champion came to Indy having never turned left in a race car without also turning right. But he acquired such a feel for Indy's 2 1/2 -mile rectangle during a month of practice and qualifying that he's considered a strong contender to win the 101st Indianapolis 500 on Sunday, rookie or not. "You're not trying to bring somebody on who has very little experience driving very high-performance cars," said 2003 Indy 500 winner Gil deFerran, who this month has helped Alonso learn the nuances that make the speedway such a tough place to conquer. "I suppose it would be a little bit different if you were dealing with a younger, much less experienced person." Driving a McLaren Honda from the potent Andretti Autosport team, Alonso was consistently near the top of the speed charts in practice, he qualified fifth fastest at 231.300 mph, and he handled runs in heavy traffic like a driver who'd done it many times before. But those were the prelims. The race is another creature. "The car felt the best (it has) in the last two weeks. I was making some moves, taking some different lines. I am extremely happy." Other drivers say the speedway looks different on race day when the crowd, expected to top 300,000, fills the grandstands and makes an already narrow track seem even tighter. The three-wide rolling start is something Alonso has never experienced, and he will see the green flag from the middle of the second row between Takuma Sato and J.R. Hildebrand. And the space he'll be given by his competitors in the first 180 laps may disappear In the last 20 when it's every driver for themselves. Can a rookie like Alonso win this race? Absolutely, as Andretti driver Alexander Rossi showed last year when his team used a fuel-mileage strategy to win in his first taste of Indy. We're talking about Fernando Alonso here, who easily could show his rookie stripes to the rest of the field most of the day. His best lap in Friday's final practice, 226.608, was fifth fastest in the field and, more important, he said the car felt comfortable in heavy traffic. "The car felt the best (it has) in the last two weeks," Alonso said. "I was making some moves, taking some different lines.
Bob Lutz says Tesla remains 'fringe' brand
Sun, Sep 28 2014We've said it before, we'll said it again: Bob Lutz gives great quotes. From his toilet-themed opinion of global warming to Toyota's deity status, the man knows how to get your attention. His latest? Saying that Tesla Motors is and will remain a fringe brand. Take that, Tesla fanbois. This, of course, is the same fringe company that prompted Lutz and his former colleagues at General Motors to start working on the Chevy Volt around eight years ago. The same fringe company that has easily outsold the similarly priced (but don't call it a competitor) Cadillac ELR with its Model S. Lutz did clarify that the fringe status will only last until Tesla comes out with a mass-market electric vehicle that has a range of 200 to 300 miles. Lutz was on CNBC talking about the TSLA stock's recent performance, and he pointed out that even Tesla CEO Elon Musk says that the California automaker's stock is overvalued these days. Despite its prevalence around these parts, Tesla is not yet a household brand. But the company is working hard to get a cheaper, long-range EV to market in the not-too-distant future, so this fringe thing may not last much longer than that show Fringe did.

2018 Hyundai Accent vs subcompact sedans: How it compares on paper
Fri, Sep 29 2017Hyundai first revealed the new 2018 Hyundai Accent a few months ago, but that debut was in Canada for the Canadian-market car. We didn't get our look at the U.S. version until just recently, which is when we also finally got plenty of specifications on the little car. So as we did with the Genesis G70, we've brought you a breakdown of the Accent's specs and some of the segment's best and most popular: the Nissan Versa, Kia Rio, Chevrolet Sonic and Toyota Yaris iA. Before we get to the chart, let's give you a quick reintroduction to the 2018 Accent. The subcompact is completely new this year, and under the hood is again a naturally aspirated 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. It makes 7 fewer horsepower and 4 fewer pound-feet of torque than the outgoing model with totals of 130 horsepower and 119 pound-feet. This drop in power probably won't be noticeable, though. It's also available with either a manual or automatic transmission, both featuring six speeds. Fuel economy hasn't been announced, but the Rio's numbers below are probably a good indicator as they share powertrains. The one thing that isn't available with an Accent is a hatchback. According to Autoweek, the hatchback was canned with the assumption that hatch buyers would simply purchase an example of the upcoming Kona crossover. But if you want a traditional subcompact hatch from South Korea, Kia is happy to oblige, as the Rio is still available as a hatchback. Learning that the Kona may have killed the Accent hatch causes us to wonder if Kia brought the Rio hatch to the U.S. because it wasn't planning on offering the Stonic.
