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.

Surprise! GM putting aluminum in next-gen pickups

Wed, Aug 5 2015

Last month, General Motors launched a series of ads touting the benefits of steel over aluminum – specifically, with regard to the Chevy Silverado versus the Ford F-150. (Kind of. We're not sure what a grizzly bear has to do with anything.) We took issue with the ads, with editor in chief Mike Austin saying they "reek of insecurity, and distract from the Silverado's strengths that could be used for positive advertising." But what bothers us more, is that yet another report surfaced claiming anti-aluminum GM will indeed use the weight-saving material in its next-generation fullsize trucks. On Tuesday, GM announced a $877-million investment for its truck plant in Flint, MI. But Reuters says that huge overhaul is because the trucks will use "substantially different equipment than the tools GM uses today." The report specifically states, "People familiar with the company's plans say GM's next-generation pickups and SUVs will make use of various materials, including aluminum and lightweight steel, to shed weight and gain fuel efficiency to meet tougher federal standards." The Silverado already uses a few aluminum components in the engine and hood, and if more widespread use will help GM build its best fullsize trucks ever, then that's great. Honestly, we have no reason to doubt that aluminum will be used in the next Silverado and GMC Sierra. We just hope GM remembers that nothing is ever truly deleted from the bowels of the Internet when it launches the subsequent "look how great aluminum is!" campaign.

Top horsepower-per-dollar cars in 2017

Tue, Feb 17 2015

Bang for the buck. That quasi-scientific statistic is bandied about by motor heads everywhere from classrooms to barrooms, though the truth of the matter is that it's exceedingly complex to measure. A fair performance-per-dollar index would include something like cross-referencing MSRP (Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price) with point-to-point times on a track or driving route, which is obviously hard to do comprehensively. But, for the sheer joy of talking about cars and playing with a big spreadsheet, there's always the horsepower-per-dollar index, which is more straightforward, albeit hilariously flawed. There are vagaries even with this simple formula, of course: MSRP for vehicles can change at a moment's notice, to say nothing of the bottom-line shifting that happens with local deals or showroom negotiation. For this list we're running with the straight MSRP wherever possible, and as recently reported as we can get it. All the vehicles on this list are 2017 models, and all trims are reported where the lowest price and differing power levels intersect. Some choices were made for personal preference and some for sanity, avoiding things like all 48 trim levels of the Ford Transit, all with the same horsepower). If this list were a simple top ten, or even a top fifty, you'd be bored to tears with all the red, white and blue that is represented. Following perfectly with conventional wisdom, American cars really do lead the world where hp/$ is concerned. So, for the sake of variety (and the sheer joy of seeing a minivan 'win' one round of this thing) I've sorted out some top five and bottom five lists for broad power categories. Let's dive in. Less Than 100 Horsepower Okay, okay, this is hardly a category we'll grant you. But we've often tried to click off all the sub-100-hp cars on sale in the US, and making this list gave us an excuse. It also illustrates that none of these smallish vehicles bring cheap horsepower to the table - for that you'll need a motorcycle. The segment-leading Chevy Spark (above) asks just over $139 for each hp, and that Smart Fortwo Electric Drive has hp on sale for about the same price as its very distant family cousin, the Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG (insert your favorite Smart joke here... we know you want to).
