If you are shipping, once the vehicle has been shipped, the transaction will be considered complete and there will be no cancelations or refunds of any kind. (for obvious reasons) Here is my detailed report on this vehicle which was prompted by some of your questions. I will be using a scale of 1-10 Here is my guide: 1-being beyond repair 5-being functional but needing cosmetic repair or vice versa 10-being completely perfect or good as original As I stated in the description and from what you can't see in the pictures, are some minor cosmetic imperfections. Small scratches, chips, and dents are present, but they are very minuet. I will send you a few pictures to clarify. If the paint and body was literally 100% flawless, (which would be better than the factory finish) is a 10 - this car would be a 7. If there were no blemishes that occurred after the paint job I would give it a 8. The wearable items (brakes, tires, ect.) are all new or near new - 9 The glass is all original and is in very good condition. Some very minor blemishes and typical slight delamination in the corners, hardly noticeable - 9 The engine, transmission, and differential, (and their counterparts) are numbers matching and in great condition , cosmetically and mechanically. I will say an 8 for cosmetic and a 9 for mechanically operable. 396cid Turbo Jet/325hp - 400 hydramatic (Turbo 400) 12 Bolt Posi ( I believe 3.08 gears - If you need to know for sure I will find out positively its either 3.08 or 3.55) The suspension has mostly been replaced/restored and is an 8 cosmetically and a 9 for operable as well . The electrical system and everything it encompasses is sound and all functions are operable with the exception of the 8-track. It seems someone has possibly had a modern radio head installed at sometime in the past and when they put the original 8-trck back in, they did not bother to connect it electronically. - I will investigate this more if desired. Other than that - this gets a 9 for function and a 9 for appearance. (wire routing, splicing, ect) The interior is mostly all original we suspect. The vinyl seats, panels, and dash are in very good condition. you may find a small superficial hairline crack, but for the most part, it is as good as it gets. Some minor dullness (you can see in the pictures). The plastic and metal parts are all in fine shape. Anything less than what it looked like in 1968 is due to time, not wear. Some dullness and light checking. (you can see this on the steering wheel in the pictures) . The top is new and functions as designed. Interior score - 7 with the potential to be an 8 with a bottle of interior refresher / conditioner and some time. Trunk, engine compartment, and undercarriage - Pictures speak for it - 8 or 9 ? I will say this vehicle over all is an 8. You can see what it sold for at Barrett Jackson by clicking the link above. I believe that alone should instill your confidence in this vehicle. This car is a cross between a show car and a driver. It may not be the best at the Barrett Jackson type auctions but it might be the nicest one at your local car show. This is a car you can drive and enjoy without having to worry about every bug that hits your windshield. This car appeals to every type of potential owner. It can be a driver, show car, collector piece, small project, or all of the above. If it were mine, I would drive and enjoy it as a "Sunday car", touch up little things as I go,(and as more develop inevitable from use) and take it to car shows. If you are looking to do a restoration, - this is not the car If you are looking for a trailer queen - this is not the car ( but it can be I suppose) This is a car that is in probably as good as shape as the late model car you drive everyday, and I bet this 1968 Impala will cost less than the car you are driving now. Just saying - what kind of car can you buy nowadays under $27,000 ? Like I have stated, this is not my car, but a car I am listing for a very good customer. I been around this car several times over the passing years and recently I went over it very thoroughly in order to list it. My opinions are true, professional, and unbiased. Happy bidding! Questions are always welcomed! Here is a link to the pictures of virtually the only few marks on this car. Video of this vehicle selling at Barrett Jackson!

Corvette Z06 and Viper TA square off at the strip
Wed, Jan 21 2015There are many long-standing grudge matches among automobiles: 911 vs GT-R, Mustang vs Camaro, Ferrari vs Lamborghini... but as far as high-end American metal goes, it doesn't get much more legendary than Viper vs 'Vette. So after Chevy released the new Corvette Z06, we knew it was only a matter of time before it would have to square off against the Viper TA. And what better place to pit these two parallel pillars of American performance than on the drag strip? Fortunately that's just what we have here. In one corner, the 2014 Dodge Viper TA, with its 8.4-liter V10 pumping out 640 horsepower and 600 pound-feet of torque. In the other, the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06, the supercharger on its 6.2-liter V8 more than making up for the discrepancy in displacement and cylinder count to produce 650 hp and just as much torque. But numbers don't tell the whole story, so watch the video clip to see which reaches the end of the quarter-mile first.

McLaren, Koenigsegg, Toyota, Ford, Dodge and Corvette Lego kits announced for 2021
Tue, May 4 2021Lego has announced a slew of car-themed sets for 2021. The six kits comprise nine vehicles and fall under the brick pusher's Speed Champion line of official OEM-licensed kits. News of their arrival comes from German toy retailer JB Spielwaren's pre-order listings, which show three single-car sets and three dual-car sets of matched marques. Starting with the McLaren Elva roadster, the kit consists of 263 pieces and is finished in blue. It seems to have a difficult time capturing the curves of the real-life Elva, but there's only so much you can do with a bunch of plastic blocks. Lego has made several other McLaren kits before, including the Senna, 720S, and a more advanced Senna GTR for the Technics line. Next up is the Koenigsegg Jesko, made up of 280 pieces and finished in white. Though the real-life Jesko is still curvy, this kit does a better job of replicating its aggressive maw, vents and cantilevered rear wing. Rounding out the single-car sets is the 299-piece Toyota GR Supra in yellow. This marks the first time Toyota has lent their license to Lego. Again, it struggles a bit to represent the curvy Supra, relying on printed details like logos and headlights to identify. On the other hand, the Chevrolet two-car does a stupendous job with the 1968 Corvette. The C3 is instantly recognizable as such. The C8-R race car it's paired with suffers from the same issues as some of the previous cars, though. The set contains 512 pieces, and funnily enough the C8 driver has short hair while the C3 driver sports a period-correct wavy mane. The next set is a 627-piece Mopar-themed pair, including a purple (Plum Crazy?) 1970 Dodge Challenger T/A and an SRT top fuel dragster. The race car is spot on, but the Challenger was probably tough to make given the width restrictions. It looks a couple of pegs too narrow compared to the wide proportions of the real deal. Last but not least, the Ford set contains a Bronco R and Ford GT Heritage Edition. Consisting of 660 pieces, the set does an excellent job of representing both cars. The GT looks faithful in its Gulf livery, and the Bronco R looks more like a real Bronco than the actual Bronco R race truck. All in all, it's always fun to see more Lego sets with real cars, and we're glad to see more manufacturers added to the roster. The single-car sets are recommended for ages 7 and up, while the double-car sets have an 8 years and up rating. Price in U.S.
Reuss says GM diesel plans are still on pace
Fri, Oct 16 2015General Motors is not going to let Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal ruin its plans for a new line of efficient, torquey oil-burners, the company's Executive Vice President Mark Reuss said at a recent press event. "No way," Reuss responded when asked about cancelling the upcoming diesel-powered Chevrolet Cruze and other vehicles. "The Cruze Diesel is too good not to do it." Slated for 2017, the compact is just the latest member of a diesel offensive that initially kicked off with the first Cruze Diesel and most recently saw the introduction of the oil-burning Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon. Reuss also reassured those in attendance that there was "no delay" in development of Cadillac's diesel lineup. Cadillac is working on a line of four- and six-cylinder turbodiesels for Europe. They'd make their way into the US market, too, eventually. "It's a question of timing," Reuss said, according to Car and Driver. Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal has caused automakers across the globe to at least reanalyze their diesel strategy. Jaguar Land Rover, which is preparing several diesel-powered models for the US market, went on record late last month to reaffirm its commitment to diesel.
