I am selling my beloved 1996 DGGM Impala. I have had it for awhile and have done a ton of performance upgrades to it to get it built for a 383 and make it a semi street/track car. Car was running and spun a bearing on the dyno and has been sitting in my garage since 2010 with the top end taken off and under a car cover. All the mods were done and then car taken to the dyno. These parts dont even have 100 miles on them. Mods are as follows.
K&N cold air
Custom X pipe
Ultra-flo SS mufflers and resonators
3.73 gears
3000 stall 9.5" converter
Bilstein shocks
Hotchkis springs lower 1"
Extended rear control arms (boxed style that centers rear wheels)
Upgraded front and rear sway bars
Rebuilt tranny with transgo stage two shift kit
PCM4less programmed computer
20" staggered wheels with nitto invo tires (tires alone $1250 and have less than 100 miles on them).
Brake bolt upgrade kit
stainless brake lines
Deep tranny pan new in box (the one with the cooling holes in it)
Extra external mounted oil/tranny cooler.
Smoked headlights
Smoked tail lights
Interior is damn near flawless except for some random stuff that was damaged vandalized a few years back. That stuff includes two cut seat belts, two broken radio knobs, head light knob missing, center console lid missing, broken rear view mirror, door pull handles missing, she cut the underhood wires, and the headlight harness, and a few small other items that I cant remember. Seats, carpet, and other surfaces are immaculate, almost look brand new. I have most of the stuff that was damaged to include a headlight harness and another engine harness. I was gonna just go ahead and install a complete motor in it and just fix the stuff that's wrong but I am looking to start a business and need the cash to do so.
Like I said, this is a project that needs to be completed. I have over 7000 worth of work done to this car just in the parts mentioned above and they all have less than 100 miles on them (some of the stuff is still new). I would love to see it go to a good place and be completed or maybe transplanted to another vehicle. I also may be able to help with delivery a certain distance at a small fee. More pics available upon request. Thanks.

Poor headlights cause 40 cars to miss IIHS Top Safety Pick rating
Mon, Aug 6 2018Over the past few months, we've noticed a number of cars and SUVs that have come incredibly close to earning one of the IIHS's highest accolades, the Top Safety Pick rating. They have great crash test scores and solid automatic emergency braking and forward collision warning systems. What trips them up is headlights. That got us wondering, how many vehicles are there that are coming up short because they don't have headlights that meet the organization's criteria for an "Acceptable" or "Good" rating. This is a revision made after 2017, a year in which headlights weren't factored in for this specific award. This is also why why some vehicles, such as the Ford F-150, might have had the award last year, but have lost it for this year. We reached out to someone at IIHS to find out. He responded with the following car models. Depending on how you count, a whopping 40 models crash well enough to receive the rating, but don't get it because their headlights are either "Poor" or "Marginal." We say depending on how you count because the IIHS actual counts truck body styles differently, and the Infiniti Q70 is a special case. Apparently the version of the Q70 that has good headlights doesn't have adequate forward collision prevention technology. And the one that has good forward collision tech doesn't have good enough headlights. We've provided the entire list of vehicles below in alphabetical order. Interestingly, it seems the Volkswagen Group is having the most difficulty providing good headlights with its otherwise safe cars. It had the most models on the list at 9 split between Audi and Volkswagen. GM is next in line with 7 models. It is worth noting again that though these vehicles have subpar headlights and don't quite earn Top Safety Pick awards, that doesn't mean they're unsafe. They all score well enough in crash testing and forward collision prevention that they would get the coveted award if the lights were better.
GM's European Opel division may eventually go all-electric
Wed, Feb 15 2017General Motors' Opel division in Europe may transform itself into an all-electric vehicle maker by 2030. Granted, a lot can happen between now and then, including a potential buyout by French automaker PSA Group. Regardless, Opel appears to view its electric future beyond the Ampera-e, which is the sister vehicle to the Chevrolet Bolt, and more like Tesla. Opel CEO Karl-Thomas Neumann indicated that focusing on electric drivetrains would be a superior strategy to expanding its EV technology while pushing forward with conventional drivetrains, says Automotive News Europe, citing comments Neumann made to German publication Manager Magazin. General Motors could make the decision to move towards an all-electric vehicle line for Opel as soon as May. Of course, that depends on whether Opel is bought out by PSA, the parent country to Peugeot and Citroen. PSA is in talks to buy General Motors' Opel and Vauxhall divisions, though government and labor representatives in Germany have expressed concerns over potential job losses from the proposed buyout, Reuters says. Regardless, GM has hinted at expanding its electric-vehicle line far beyond the Bolt, which has a 238-mile single-charge range and debuted late last year. Mary Barra, in an interview with CNET, said the Bolt's all-electric platform could be applied to a "huge range of vehicles," though wasn't specific about additional EV models. Opel first showed off its Ampera-e at the Paris Motor Show last fall. The name of the model raised some eyebrows because the Ampera badge had been previously used by Opel for the sister version of the Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in. Either way, Opel is looking to take on Renault for electric-vehicle sales supremacy across the Pond. Related Video:
GM files to trademark name Badlands
Mon, Feb 23 2015If you've been hoping for General Motors to come out swinging at the Ford F-150 Raptor, we've had some tantalizing news for you of late. Last month we brought you a report that indicated GM has trademarked the name "Z71 Trail Boss," suggesting a potential hardcore off-roader. Now it seems the General has filed for a potentially even better name. That name, as our friends over at GM Authority have discovered, is "Badlands." The application, filed on February 16, indicates that it's for a truck, but of course it doesn't specify just what form it would take... or for that matter, under which division it would fall. So we could, in theory, be looking at the nameplate for a Raptor rival from Chevy or GMC (like the 2011 Sierra All Terrain HD concept pictured here), or for some other trim level, a concept truck, a special edition... just about anything. Heck, it could be for a Vauxhall, Opel or Holden for all we know at this point. Or GM could choose not to use it on anything at all, but here's hoping it'll emerge as something awesome in US showrooms sometime soon.
