Up for auction is a really nice 1966 Chevrolet Impala Sport Coupe. It has Impala SS emblems on it but it is not an SS. She was originally built in Atlanta and sold new in South Carolina. I have the original owners manual and protect-o-plate to go along. There are many upgrades to this Impala beginning with the 454 Big Block engine. This Big Block is the low horsepower engine with an aluminum intake and a new Holley Carb. She has a new electronic ignition. There is also dual exhaust with nice sounding mufflers and tailpipes that come out at the correct factory location. There is a brand new Turbo 350 Transmission and torque converter and I have the receipt for that. There is a picture to show the proper transmission shift linkage on the column just as the factory had for this car. The engine and transmission work great and this car has lots of power. There are no fluid leaks of any kind. The brakes have been upgraded to drilled and slotted disc brakes on the front and drum brakes on the rear. A power brake booster was part of this conversion kit. She has 15 inch by 8 inch aftermarket ralley wheels to accommodate the disc brakes.
The body of this Impala is very solid and has been repainted sometime before I bought the car. I would call it a great 10 footer. All exterior chrome moldings have been removed from the side of the Impala giving her a unique look. The car was not originally bright red but this color really sets this Impala apart from other Impalas. She gets lot's of looks at the local cruise in. The trunk floor is very solid with only a spot of rust on the right side. A picture shows this. The floors are also very solid with only one spot on the passenger floor about the size of your fist. Again I've attempted to show with a picture. I have many pictures and can always provide more.
The interior is really great! It is all black. No marks or issues with the seats, door panels or headliner. The dash is pretty much original and has an AM-FM Radio. The mileage is 97,105 and believed to be original but I have no evidence to support that. The car runs and drives well and the mileage may go up between now and the end of this auction as I do drive this Impala. The car does require a few things, one she could use some new tires, two she needs a front end alignment since the installation of the new braking system and three she needs a new heater core which I will include with the sale. Now I don't have to sell this car. I have too many and this one is forced to sit outside. As everyone knows that is not the best thing for a classic car so I will see if anyone wants to continue what was started on this car. She does need a few things and I have her priced accordingly but I will not give her away. I have a clear North Carolina title in my name. I will help you or your agent load her up but this Impala will not leave my property before being paid in full. Please no scams with any kind of check. I will not accept them. Cash or bank transfers. If you have less than a +5 feedback please email me before bidding or I will reject your bid. No buy it now price and I will not end the auction early. Yes there is a reserve but I will keep that to myself. This Impala is also for sale locally and could be sold at anytime but once the reserve is met I will allow the auction to run it's course and sell to the highest bidder. This is an opportunity to get started in the collector hobby with a running driving car that shows great potential. This Impala is sold as-is with no warranties expressed or implied with no returns.

First 2015 Chevy Corvette Z06 engine blows up at just 891 miles
Thu, Jan 1 2015You've waited and watched and waited some more for the arrival of your 650-horsepower, $78,000 Chevrolet Corvette Z06. Finally, that joyous day arrives and you eagerly, but gingerly, begin to break-in the 6.2-liter supercharged V8 monster under your hood. Then 900-odd miles after delivery, your excitement grinds, quite literally, to a halt. That's what the owner of one 2015 Z06 claimed happened to him when a simple break-in drive resulted in a lunched engine. The owner, known as Lawdogg149 on Corvette Forum, says he was out breaking-in his car ahead of a January track event when it happened. "While making a pull from 35 miles per hour, I accelerated and shifted short of redline, and boom - the car began knocking. I pulled over and popped the hood. I could hear a loud knock coming from the No. 6 cylinder area along with a serious, grinding, metal-on-metal sound coming from the supercharger area," Lawdogg wrote. A subsequent trip to the dealer confirmed his concerns, with the service facility telling Lawdogg that the No. 6 valvetrain had failed. The dealer couldn't research the issue further, though, as General Motors requested the engine be returned for a more thorough evaluation. The good news for the Z06's unlucky owner, at least, is that GM will be covering the engine replacement under warranty, an expense that Corvette Forum estimates is a nearly $24,000 procedure. At this point, the two leading theories behind the engine's detonation involve a manufacturing defect – which could be why GM is so keen to tear the blown powerplant down – or a mistake on the part of Lawdogg. As Motor Authority points out, such an error could be something as simple as the Z06's owner accidentally shifting to first rather than third during his 35-mph pull. If, however, there's a deeper manufacturing problem with the Z06's engine, this might not be the only case we end up hearing about.
GM raises 2023 guidance on strong sales, higher profits
Tue, Apr 25 2023General Motors beat first-quarter profit estimates and raised its full-year earnings and cash-flow guidance after vehicle demand at the start of the year surpassed expectations. Its shares rose in premarket trading. GM made $2.21 a share in adjusted profit in the first quarter, compared to a consensus forecast of $1.72 a share. Revenue rose 11% to $39.99 billion, it said Tuesday, which was more than the $39.24 billion analysts expected. The stronger results stem from rising sales in the US, even in the face of higher interest rates and inflation. GM executives said demand was strong enough to revise 2023 guidance upward, boosting profit estimates for the year by $500 million to between $11 billion and $13 billion. “We did it with strong production and inventory discipline and consistent pricing,” GM Chief Financial Officer Paul Jacobson said on a call with journalists. “All in all, weÂ’re feeling confident about 2023.” The Detroit automaker raised per-share full-year guidance to between $6.35 and $7.35, up from $6 to $7 a share, and said free cash flow would also increase by $500 million to a range of $5.5 billion to $7.5 billion. GMÂ’s shares pared a gain of as much as 4.4% before the start of regular trading Tuesday, rising 3.5% to $35.50 as of 6:55 a.m. in New York. The stock was up 1.9% for the year as of the close on Monday. North American Strength The automakerÂ’s sales were particularly strong in North America, where first-quarter earnings rose before interest and taxes rose to $3.6 billion. Vehicle sales rose 18% to 707,000 in the region. Jacobson said the company originally expected to sell 15 million vehicles in the US this year, slightly less than the 15.5 million annualized rate automakers foresaw in the first quarter. North American demand was enough to offset a weak performance in China, GMÂ’s second-largest market. The automaker continues to struggle in the country, where its vehicle sales fell 25% to 462,000 vehicles in the quarter. Profits from its joint ventures in the market slumped 65% to $83 million. The market has struggled overall in the wake of Covid-19 restrictions and foreign automakers have had to overcome a growing preference for Chinese brands by competing on price, squeezing profit margins. The situation in China probably wonÂ’t significantly improve until the second half of the year, according to Jacobson. GM remains on target to sell 150,000 electric vehicles this year, the CFO said.
GM recalling nearly 4,000 vehicles over airbag concerns
Thu, 31 Jan 2013Four different General Motors vehicles from the 2012 model year are being recalled over a potential airbag issue. The driver's side airbag shorting bar in the 2012 Buick Verano and 2012 Chevrolet Camaro, Cruze and Sonic might make contact with the airbag terminals, even during a crash. If so, the airbag won't deploy when it should, possibly increasing injury to the driver.
The recall is expected to begin on February 13 for the 3,896 units that might be affected. GM will notify owners who can then take their vehicles to dealers to have the airbag coil replaced. A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration below has more info.
