This is an all original, unrestored, low mileage 1969 Chevrolet Impala. Paint, interior, drivetrain, etc are all original and have never been touched. This is a true survivor car that is just like they came out of the dealer in 1969. This car drives great and represents the ride of the late 60s and early 70s. It feels like you are gliding down the road, no wind noise, no squeaks, no rattles. It is a different feel than you get from modern cars that have a typically harsh ride. It really puts you back in time.

The odometer show 15232 miles. The speedometer works but the odometer does not advance. With that, I don't know what the exact mileage of this car is. Based on the lack of visible wear on the carpet scuff pad under the brake pedal, the lack of wear on the brake and gas pedal, the cleanliness and lack of buildup inside of the engine, and the lack of any wear within the carburetor, my best guess is that this vehicle has no more than 35,000 original miles.

The engine compartment is complete and is missing nothing. The bale on the brake master cylinder still has the plastic tag on it from the original assembly at the factory. All wiring is in perfect condition with all original connectors. I installed a rebuilt kit in the original carburetor. These Quadrajets always need bushings installed in the primary throttle shaft bores. This one was perfect with no play or evidence of any wear. The accelerator pump lever is also a common item to show wear. Again, there was no wear on this lever. The upper radiator hose is original with the original clamps. The lower hose had been changed at some point. New plugs and wires have also been installed.  There is a picture through the oil fill hole that shows how clean the interior of the engine is. There is no oil buildup at all. The heads are the typical 441 castings. The engine is the 255 hp 350.

The transmission is a Turbohydromatic 350.  It upshifts and downshifts flawlessly. There is absolutely no slip. The transmission fluid looks and smells clean.

The rear axle is a stock, non-positrac 12 bolt. I have not checked the codes but it is most likely a 3:08 ratio.

Tires are newer with all season tread. The hold air just fine.

The trunk in this car is flawless and speaks to the low mileage. There is no rust or damage in the trunk. The spare tire does not hold air. All original bumper jack pieces are there and in great shape except for the wing nut. It is missing.

The interior of this car is just incredible. There is no visible wear on any part, The dash pad is not cracked or faded. The seats are in beautiful original condition. The front carpet is in great condition but has the appearance of some very minor fading if you look at it closely. The drivers side scuff pad shows no wear. The brake and gas pedals are also in great shape with no signs of wear.

There was apparently an 8 track tape player installed under the dash, in the area of the ash tray. The mounting plate is still there. There are also what appears to be some aftermarket speakers installed on the hinge pillars between the front and rear doors. These are in great shape and are probably from the early 70s.

All glass in the vehicle is original and in great shape, including the windshield. The stainless window mouldings are also in great shape. Door handles, emblems, and other chrome items are free of any pitting or corrosion.

The front clip is in near perfect condition with the exception of the right lower fender. There is rust as shown in the pictures. The rear wheel wells also have a very small amount of rust as shown.

The paint on this car is all original. It is only lightly oxidized and could be polished. I left it alone as I felt this car should be left untouched.

This is a unique example of an all original car from another time. I have driven it around town and on the local rural roads and enjoyed it very much. You really get peoples attention with a car like this because you just don't see them around much anymore. Whoever gets this car will certainly enjoy it!

2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra debut all-new designs, three new engines

Thu, 13 Dec 2012

General Motors has finally dropped the curtain on the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and 2014 GMC Sierra. Both trucks have undergone substantial revisions with updated versions of the company's 4.3-liter V6, 5.3-liter V8 and 6.2-liter V8 engines. In a shot across the bows of both Ford and Chrysler, GM says it won't use a V6 engine adapted from passenger car applications. Instead, it developed the 4.3-liter engine based on its proven truck-duty architecture.
All three mills will boast direct injection fuel systems as well as a new cylinder head design. Combined with a revised piston, the new engines feature a smaller combustion chamber with a compression ratio of 11:1 or higher depending on the application. Cylinder deactivation and continuously variable valve timing are all part of the recipe, and each engine is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission with auto grade breaking. So far, no fuel economy or horsepower figures have been released, though GM says the new engines will best their predecessors in both areas.
Outside, the trucks feature a number of enhancements to reduce drag and wind noise, and GM claims both the Silverado and Sierra will offer buyers some of the quietest cabins in the class. Extended cab models now feature front-hinged rear doors to allow easier access to the back passenger area, and Crew Cab buyers can now select between a five-foot, eight-inch bed or a six-foot, six-inch bed. Buyers with a mind toward going off road will also rejoice in the return of the Z71 package, complete with Rancho shocks, front tow hooks and additional under-body protection.

How Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra will take on the Ford F-150 profit machine

Fri, Aug 10 2018

FORT WAYNE, Ind. — When General Motors engineers were developing the 2019 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickup trucks, some of them joined public tours of Ford's Dearborn, Mich., factory to watch aluminum-bodied F-Series trucks go down the assembly line. The redesign of the Ford F-Series trucks, launched in 2014, set a new standard for fuel economy and lightweight vehicle construction. But armed with stopwatches and trained eyes, the GM engineers believed they saw problems. "They had a real hard time getting those doors to fit," Tim Herrick, the executive chief engineer for GM truck programs, told Reuters. His team did more intelligence gathering. They bought and tore apart Ford F-Series doors sold as repair parts. Their conclusion: GM could cut weight in its trucks for a lower cost using doors made of a combination of aluminum and high-strength steel that could be thinner than standard steel, shaving off kilograms in the process. These pounds-and-pennies decisions will have major implications in the highest-stakes game going in Detroit: dominance in the world's most profitable vehicle market, the gasoline-fueled large pickup segment. What's more, GM is banking on strong sales of overhauled 2019 Silverados and GMC Sierras to fund its push into automated and electric vehicles — a business many investors see as the auto industry's long-term future. The risks are high given the hits automakers have taken from U.S. President Donald Trump's trade policies. Rising aluminum prices spurred by Trump's tariffs are driving up costs on the Ford's F-Series, while rising steel and aluminum prices likewise drag on GM results. GM also has a significant risk should the United States, Mexico and Canada fail to agree on a new NAFTA trade deal, given GM trucks built at its Silao, Mexico, factory could face a 25 percent tariff if NAFTA collapses. Major profit per truck Interviews with GM executives and a tour at its factory here in northwest Indiana provide a detailed look inside GM's plan for the most important vehicles in its global lineup. These big pickups are everything Tesla's Model 3 or Chevy's Bolt electric car is not. The mostly steel body is bolted to the truck's steel frame, rather than the one-piece body and frame electric vehicles. The majority of trucks will have a V-8 gasoline engine powering the rear wheels — like the classic GM cars of the 1950s. Some Silverados will have new four-cylinder engines, but there is no electric or hybrid offering as of now.

Opel's version of the Chevy Bolt will confuse people at Paris Motor Show

Fri, Aug 26 2016

Two things are now official. First, Opel will reveal the Ampera-e, or the European version of the Chevrolet Bolt, at the Paris Motor Show in October. Second, General Motors has outdone itself in brand confusion, topping the Bolt/Volt ridiculousness. Opel isn't giving a single-charge range for the Ampera-e but the company is promising a "significantly longer range" than other electric vehicles. The Bolt is estimated to have a 200-mile range on the EPA scale, so whatever the Opel achieves on the European cycle will be done with the same batteries and motor as the Chevy. Opel is also looking to appeal to the auto enthusiasts with other factoids, which are basically just Bolt stats translated into metric. For instance, the Ampera-e will be able to go 0 to 50 kilometers per hour (which is 31 miles per hour to us Americans, but we're talking Europe here) in just 3.2 seconds. And for those looking to stay connected, as many as seven mobile devices can attached to the car's wireless hot spot. GM said in February that the European of the Bolt would be available across the pond next year, so the most recent bit of news isn't shocking. Still, General Motors continues to create confusion between all-electric Bolt and the extended-range plug-in Volt. It's already been reported that the Korean symbol and pronunciation of what is "B" in English is identical to the English "V," meaning that there is no difference between "Bolt" and "Volt" in that country (though there are no plans to sell the Bolt in South Korea as of yet). Now, in Europe, they're taking the name they used to use for the European of the Volt — Ampera — and merely adding an "-e" at the end of it. For those looking to be less confused, take a look at Opel's press release here.
