1969 Chevrolet Impala 427 Ss 1 Of 2,455 Produced on 2040-cars
Evans, Georgia, United States
|
For your consideration is my '69 Impala 427 SS Custom Coupe. This car was sold to the Volo Auto Museum by the family of the original owner in 2001. It was restored in the late 90's to its original glory. The original motor was blown sometime in the mid-late '70's and was dealer replaced. The 400 TH transmission and 12 bolt posi rear end are original to the car. Other than the car's short stint in Volo, IL, the car has been a southern car its entire life. It went from Alabama to Volo, IL to Vidalia, Georgia, finally ending up in Augusta, Georgia in my garage. I purchased it from the folks who got the car from Volo. This car is an overall nice driver. The paint is nice with a few touch ups. This is a nice, straight car, not a thrown together bondo bucket. It was refinished in its original Garnet Red with parchment formal vinyl top. There is no rust on this car anywhere. The top is nice, with no bubbling or soft spots. The stainless is nice. The bumpers are decent driver quality and have a good shine. The 15" Rallyes are wrapped in newer Goodyears. The glass and interior are nice. The seats and door panels were replaced in the late '90's and still look great. The car runs and drives great. It shifts through the gears very nicely. The power disc brakes definitely do their job. The car stops straight and true, with no pulling right or left. There are no fluid leaks. The air conditioner blows great, but needs a recharge. It has not been converted. Everything works on the car except for the clock. The car was ordered with the factory AM/FM radio that still sits in the bezel and it works great. Have you priced one of these? As I said, this is an overall nice driver. If you take it to nearly any show or cruise in, chances are better than not that you will be the only one there with a car like this, since there were only 2,455 built. The year 1969 was the last year for the Impala SS until 1994. All SS cars in '69 were 427 cars. My car is the real deal, not a tribute. Please call Andy at (706) 836-4410 with questions. I will be listing the car elsewhere, so I reserve the right to end the auction early. Please...serious calls and bids only. Thanks for looking. As much as I'd love a '66 Impals 396 SS, I can't trade right now. Thanks On Jul-17-14 at 07:32:47 PDT, seller added the following information: For some reason when I clicked "enlarge picture when mouse goes over picture" (or whatever it says), it won't enlarge or zoom in. I tried to revise twice. The box "is clicked" but to no avail....If anyone would like a more detailed picture, shoot me an email, text or call me and I'll be glad to send whatever you'd like. The car looks much nicer in person, so please come and see and drive it if you are close. With only a few hours into the listing, I've already had a call inquiring about a "buy it now". My reserve is a little more than half of what others are asking for a true 69 SS car. Thanks On Jul-17-14 at 07:49:25 PDT, seller added the following information: I meant to also address a question that I got on the car regarding the "SS" logo and there not being an "Impala" script on the fenders like there is on another 69 SS that's offered on ebay. The other car is a "Sport Coupe" and mine is a "Custom Coupe". All Sport Coupes recieved the SS and the Impala badging on the fenders, where as all Custom Coupes received the SS badging only on the fenders. A combination of Sport Coupes, Custom Coupes and Convertibles accounted for the 2,455 units. Check some of the Impala sites and blogs and you'll find this info there as well. On Jul-18-14 at 09:43:02 PDT, seller added the following information: Several folks have asked for a picture of the VIN and/or cowl tag. I had one picture left, so I posted the cowl tag. I have a picture of the vin on the driver's side of the transmission and of the vin on the dash. If anyone wants pictures of those, send an email address or number to text picture to. I can only have 24 pictures in this add. |

GM to squeeze out more production capacity for midsize trucks
Tue, May 26 2015General Motors was predicting a strong showing for the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon before they debuted, and demand among dealers for the midsize trucks even exceeded company's expectations. The positive situation has left GM with a problem, though: finding ways to increase capacity for the pickups at the Wentzville Assembly plant in Missiouri. With a third shift already running, GM has continued to look for ways to build just a few more of the trucks at the plant. The company has plans to hire as many as 1,000 more workers for the Saturday and Sunday shifts to construct an additional 2,000 pickups a month, according to unnamed insiders at the factory speaking to Automotive News. The little adjustments even extend to getting rid of an unpaid break to add 18 minute of assembly time over the course of a day, which equals about 3,500 more vehicles a year. All of this effort comes because the trucks are in such high demand. According to GM's figures, the company has delivered a combined 35,720 units of the Colorado and Canyon from January through April 2015, and the Chevy was the fastest-selling truck in the US for the previous three months. In May, it spent an average of just 12 days in showrooms before being snapped up. And even better for the company, 43 percent of these buyers came from other brands. According to Automotive News, the most popular trade-ins have included the Ford F-150, Toyota Tacoma, and Dodge Dakota. Related Video:

GM to restore legendary Corvette damaged in sinkhole accident
Fri, Dec 5 2014Car lover's hearts' sank when they saw images of bent and destroyed classic Corvettes at the bottom of a sinkhole last February after the floor of the National Corvette Museum gave way. General Motors announced Wednesday it would restore the one millionth Corvette ever produced to its former glory. The 1992 convertible was heavily damaged when a 40-foot deep sinkhole opened beneath a bevy of rare cars at the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Since then, GM has been slowly restoring the classic cars, though five of the eight that caught in the sinkhole were determined to be too damaged to repair. This November, the 2009 Corvette ZR1 Blue Devil was the first car to be returned in mint condition to the Museum, according to Autoblog. It suffered significant damage but was still drivable after being pulled out of the debris. The one millionth Corvette is still in bad shape. The automaker is estimating six months worth of work to restore the car, which sustained paint scratches, rear-suspension damage and a mangled front fender.
