1965 65 Chevrolet Chevy Impala 283 V8 Auto A/c With Luxury Option New Interior on 2040-cars
Tustin, California, United States
|
I am selling a 1965 Chevrolet Impala- V8, Auto trans, A/c, caprice luxury option (This is not a caprice model, In 1965 caprice was a luxury option not its own models, 1966 was the first year the caprice was its own model). I have the title in hand and it is a clean title. If you want to see the car before bidding please let me know, I am more than happy to show it. I bought this as a driving project, to tinker with and restore but could drive at the same time, but I am working 2 jobs and have too many cars so decided to let this one go, Its been fun car to have and drive, gets a lot of attention when going down the road. With a good paint job it would be a very clean show/classic car, or it can be used as a reliable transportation & family car. It has a nice smooth ride to it, even with 4 people in the car. Goes down the road straight, No strange noises or vibrations, quiet inside. Comes with original Owners manual
Interior It has new seats, new headliner, new carpet, new visors, door panels have been restored, has the original AM radio, all original gauges, original steering wheel, All gauges function properly. Inter fan works, Heater works, Ac needs a new belt and to be recharged. The trunk is clean, recently painted with undercoating dyed to match the exterior color. I have $2175 in new interior work, I have all the receipts on the interior work. Engine: Engine is a 283 v8, with a 2 speed auto trans, upgraded 4 bbl carb, rebuilt alternator, new mastercylinder, almost of the vacumme lines have been replaced, Factory dual exhaust, recent oil and filter change, radiator was replaced about a year ago, new powersteering pump with life time warranty, Radiator hoses and water pump were replaced when radiator was replaced. Car starts right up, runs very well, a few months ago we drove it from orange county to Mammoth and back with no issues. About 3 weeks ago I drove it from Tustin to the Staples center every day for 5 days with no issues. Car does not over heat, even in hot CA weather in stop and go traffic. Car gets between 15-17 Miles per gallon depending on how you drive it and conditions. The car does not smoke except a tiny bit when it sits for a week or longer, and goes away after about 30 seconds. I was told the engine has about 50k miles since it was rebuilt, i was told that was about 10 years ago, I was not given any receipts so can not verify this, I was told it has a slightly mild cam installed in it when it was rebuilt, For a large car with a 283 it moves very well. I would recommend some new mufflers and exhaust sometime in the future, It does have some very small exhaust leaks in the pipes, You may be able to just weld them up. You dont really hear the leak, but if you stick your head under the car when its running you have slightly hear it if your listening for it. I have been driving it this way for a while now, never bothered me, Im just trying to make sure I tell everything I know about the car. Exterior: Outside is painted flat brown, Almost all the chrome trim and emblems are off the car ( I do have them, they are all in the trunk and go with the car), it has no major body damage, it does have a couple of small dings, nothing major, body is clean and pretty much straight except for the couple of dings I mentioned. It does have a bit of rust by the right lower corner of the rear window. All the body pannels line up and everything opens and closes smoothly. Grill is straight and has all the chrome pieces on the car, could use a polishing. both bumpers appear straight, front would look very good with a bit of polish, rear has some light surface rust on it, I was planning on painting the bumpers the same color as the car one day so I didnt really mind the condition of the chrome. All lights front and rear work. This car being the Impala with the Caprice luxury package came with a few more chrome pieces than the standard Impala, I believed all the pieces are there and in decent condition. It also has the original hub baps with little to no road rash or dents. Car is being sold as is where is. If you need the car shipped its up to you to arrange for shipping, Car must be paid for in full before I will release it. |

New Chevrolet Silverado to be revealed on Facebook on Thursday
Tue, 11 Dec 2012There's not much to see here, but if you're one of those waiting for the reveal of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, above is the teaser image that Chevrolet posted on its Facebook page. We've seen the truck in form-fitting camo before, and even less can be made out here beyond those seriously punchy Silverado-esque fenders and the knowledge that the projector-beam headlamps teased previously do indeed work. We'll have to wait until Thursday for a full perusal of the "bold exterior design" and "careful attention given to every detail" we've been promised.
Gathering intel and rumors, magnesium and aluminum contribute to the Silverado's weight loss plan, the purported "High Country" top-tier trim will contribute to luxury pickup truck competition and profit margins and the next-generation small-block V8 will contribute to improved fuel economy. On the engine note, there have been rumors of available V6 engines, and when Facebook user John Jones asked "Where's your answer to that EcoBoost Chevy?", the Bowtie replied "stay tuned on the 13th. We think you'll be pleased...".
Along with the "Raise the Bar" tag, Chevrolet says of the Silverado, "You asked, we delivered." You can watch the reveal live on Chevrolet's Facebook page at 9:30 am EST, this Thursday, December 13. The GMC Sierra 1500 will also be there, and we'll see both in person at the Detroit Auto Show in January.
Chevy SS prototype spotted wearing Pontiac G8 clothes
Tue, 28 Aug 2012
Do not adjust your computer screen, you are not seeing the rebirth of the Pontiac brand. General Motors has chosen to use a G8 to disguise a test mule for the latest prototype of the forthcoming Chevrolet SS. The G8 was closely related to the Holden Commodore and Vauxhall VXR, the platform upon which the new Chevrolet performance model will be based. It should come as little surprise, then, that GM has opted to use the cladding from the former G8.
Thought the front clip of this mule is pure Pontiac, note the vents immediately behind the front wheel. That is a distinctive design hallmark of the Vauxhall VXR. Also note that this vehicle is right-hand drive, as the Holden and its Chevy counterpart will be very closely related. That likely includes potential drivetrains. The spy photos of this mule also reveal very wide rear tires, and rear wheels that do not match the fronts.
Why the Corvette's Performance Data Recorder can be illegal in some states
Fri, 26 Sep 2014The Performance Data Recorder with Valet Mode available on the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray seems like a fantastic tool for many owners. Whether they are taking 720p video while lapping the track in their new 'Vette, or just want to protect their purchase from inconsiderate joyriders, the system offers a lot of functionality in one package. However, one of the PDR's features might get buyers in trouble with the law, and it has nothing to do with recording some illicit high-speed driving on a favorite back road. The problem hinges on the various state laws concerning a person's right to privacy.
According to a letter posted by Jalopnik, Chevy dealers are asking 2015 Corvette owners not to use the Valet Mode portion of the PDR because it records audio in the cabin, in addition to performance specs. That's a problem because privacy laws vary from state to state with some requiring just one side's consent to tape sound and others requiring all parties to agree. According Jalopnik, 15 states mandate everyone's permission beforehand, but it's not clear whether these numbers are up to date. (Actually, the report varies, saying 13 states in some places and 15 in a list.)
According to the letter, Chevy is already working on a software update for the near future to rectify the issue. It's possible that simply adding a warning to drivers and the ability to turn off the audio recording function in Valet Mode might solve the problem. Obviously, this doesn't preclude Corvette drivers from using the performance aspect of the PDR, and owners are free tape lap after lap at the track.
