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.

2020 Chevy Corvette Stingray vs the world: How it compares on paper

Mon, Jul 22 2019

The 2020 Chevy Corvette Stingray in its base form offers an astonishing amount of performance for the money. In fact, so impressive is the car's spec sheet that the Corvette kind of exists in two different competitive sets: one of cars priced similarly, and another with cars of similar performance and reputation. To get a feel for how it handles each of these segments, we've compiled specifications for those two sets of players. You can find the first set below, which looks at cars of roughly the same price point. Following that is a bit of analysis, and then there's a chart of cars with similar performance and reputation. And that chart will also have some analysis. Though final pricing for the Corvette hasn't been announced yet, we know the Corvette will start at less than $60,000. And as far as pricing goes, its closest competitor is the Porsche 718 Cayman, which also starts at just under $60,000. Both are mid-engined and rear-drive, but the Corvette offers an extra 195 horsepower and 190 pound-feet of torque. The Cayman does boast a curb weight of right around 3,000 pounds, so it weighs a few hundred pounds less than the Corvette, but it's likely not enough to make up for the power deficit. The Corvette's sub-3.0-second 0-60 time bears this out against the Cayman's best 4.5-second run. Impressively, though, the Cayman has more cargo space than the Corvette in a package that's nearly 10 inches shorter. The Cayman also still offers a manual option for those that prefer self-shifting. The 2020 Toyota Supra is on the cheap end of this sports car class, just crossing $50,000. It also boasts more power than the Cayman, though it's still down by 160 ponies and 105 pound-feet of torque to the C8. It's also about as roomy as the Corvette, despite being about the same size as the Cayman. Cargo space is a bit tighter. Its driving characteristics will likely differ, too as the Supra sits on a front-engine platform. It might even feel closer to a C7 Corvette in some ways. The other mid-engine entry in this price range is the 2019 Alfa Romeo 4C Spider. Its small 1.7-liter turbo inline-4 only makes 237 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, but it's also far and away the lightest of this group at 2,487 pounds. That's roughly 1,000 pounds lighter than the Corvette. It isn't as fast as the Corvette in a straight line, but that lightness surely pays dividends in cornering and braking.

Opel Ampera-e brings a Bolt of EV driving to Europe

Fri, Feb 12 2016

The Chevrolet Bolt will take a trip across the Atlantic in 2017 to become Europe's Opel Ampera-e. General Motors won't release any specs for the foreign version yet, but these photos suggest very minor styling tweaks to the upper level of the grille and to the hatchback to add the appropriate brand emblems. We would expect the same electric motor with 200 horsepower and 266 pound-feet of torque and 60-kWh battery as the US model, too. However, the 200-mile range number might change, but only because of the differences in European testing. GM CEO Mary Barra announced the Ampera-e at the CAR Symposium in Bochum, Germany. "GM and Opel have always been convinced that electric cars will play a defining role in future mobility. The game-changing technology of the Ampera-e is a significant step toward realizing that vision," she said. The Ampera-e is also proof that General Motors loves confusing naming for its green models. If the Volt and Bolt aren't perplexing enough, the Ampera-e is just one letter off from the Ampera – the previous-gen Volt in Europe. GM no longer sells the range-extended vehicle there, so at least both names can't be in showrooms simultaneously. However, the similar monikers still might confuse some customers who think the new EV hatchback is closely related to the old sedan.

Opel Group will launch a revolutionary new battery electric car next year, as the company continues the biggest, most far-reaching model offensive in its history with 29 new models between 2016 and 2020. The new five-door, five seat will be called "Ampera-e". It will not only have a longer range on a full charge than most electric cars, it will also be affordably priced. Building on the electrification expertise established with the original Ampera, which set the benchmark for modern electric cars in 2011, the new Ampera-e combines innovative electric-mobility with state-of-the-art connectivity and exciting driving dynamics. Announcing the Ampera-e today at the CAR Symposium in Bochum, Germany, GM Chairman & CEO Mary Barra said: "GM and Opel have always been convinced that electric cars will play a defining role in future mobility.

Recharge Wrap-up: U of M wins Solar Challenge, family attempts record-breaking e-bike ride

Thu, Aug 14 2014

The University of Michigan Solar Car Team has won the 2014 American Solar Challenge. It is the team's eighth national championship, its fifth in a row, and its first using Siemens' product lifecycle management (PLM) software. The race took place over 1,722 miles and seven days traveling across eight states. The team's car, called "Quantum," outpaced the nearest competitor by four hours. Looking forward, Michigan Solar Car Project Manager Pavan Naik says, "The switch to Siemens tools will give us the ability to model and simulate everything and truly allow us to optimize the performance of our new vehicle. As we start on our quest to win the World Solar Challenge in 2015, we'll be leveraging a full complement of PLM solutions." Read more in the press release below. The EcoCar3 competition, in which teams will convert Chevrolet Camaros into hybrid electric cars, begins in September. The various college teams will have four years to lessen the car's environmental impact as much as possible while maintaining performance and, of course, that cool Camaro design. EcoCar3, which is put on by the US Department of Energy and General Motors, kicks off with a workshop in Novi, Michigan from September 16 - 18. Read more at the DOE website at the dedicated EcoCar3 site or watch the announcement video at our previous post. Zap and Jonway Auto are shifting to a high rate of EV production. Zap already has two lines creating the Urbee EV to met demand, and is switching over a third to make electric minivans and SUVs. The company aims to produce 30,000 EVs by 2015 for the Chinese market. Zap says it has a backlog of 25,000 Urbee orders. Read more in the press release below. A family of four hopes to make a world record-breaking, 6,000-mile electric bike journey this fall. The family, which recently drove from Argentina to Montana in a pickup with a camper, will ride from Montana to Maine, then down the East Coast to Florida in an attempt to break the record for longest electric bicycle ride. They'll use two bikes. The Father, Thomas, will ride one of the bikes carrying one of the children, while the rest of the family rides in a support vehicle, with the mother, Dylan, riding the second bike when they can find others to drive. They have started a crowdfunding campaign for some of the equipment needed to document the trip. See the video below or read more at Treehugger.
