Here is my 66 real deal Super Sport.  I bought this car about 15 yrs ago and stored it until restoration time 8yrs ago.   The car was made in Fremont California and was ordered with several options that most Super Sports do not have. During the restoration we determined that it was originally equipped with a black vinyl top and automatic.  The change to a 4spd was done exceptionally well, with correct tunnel support, pedals, linkage, clips etc. Other changes that were observed was a left rear quarter panel and drivers door replacement on the body, again done with professional results even down to the spot welds. It appears that it was hit early on in its life as the car has zero rust with super sano floors and trunk .  I also believe it to be have very low miles on it due to the condition of the A-Arm bushings, body mounts and other items that were removed for restoration. I purchased the car with its original A/C equipment, door panels, seats and carpet which I retained for date coding and authenticity.  It did not have an engine at purchase, so a 1966 Impala 396 complete engine, carb to pan with matching date codes for production was purchased and completely rebuilt.  The purchaser will get all the original items removed.  I also have pictures as purchased and during the restoration.  The car has A/C,PS,PB, PW,factory bumper guards not replated, factory air shocks original Delco, Headrest seats, and console.  The car has been stored in a heated/A/C garage since restoration with break in miles only. Where ever paint markings could be seen they were replicated.  It has new:

* exhaust

* full polygraphite A-arm bushings, sway bar, etc.

* new springs, shocks, universal joints, body mounts,

* the car retains its original factory brake lines, gas lines and clips did not restored or replaced.

* Engine, trans, clutch, rear gears 3:70 posi all new or rebuilt to exacting specifications

* All new Sofseal weatherstrips  

* New carpet, door panels, headliner, seat covers with original unrestored headrests, headliner with original

  sunvisors.

* Replated front and rear bumpers, bumper guards are original, hood scoop chrome is original

*Complete new brakes, including cylinders, lining, springs, clips etc.

 The car has been stored for several years, yet has been street driven during its rest with engine and drivetrain to full operating temps on a regular basis.   The engine has excellent oil pressure, the heads have hardened seats, starts and drives excellent with stock power brakes.  I did notice the power windows are a little slow from sitting, radio is not hooked up, has small stereo radio in glove box.Paint was done to replicate factory new in base clear coat  so it is not over restored. Vehicle is for sale locally, so I retain the right to remove this listing at anytime. Questions?? Let me know. Thanks for your bid.

Consumer Reports declares most and least loved cars [w/video]

Wed, Dec 3 2014

Consumer Reports is crunching the numbers from its annual owner-satisfaction survey, and part of that process is finding out how attached drivers are to their cars. CR simply asks readers of models up to three years old if they would buy the same vehicle again in light of their entire ownership experience, and tallies the results. After looking at the responses for about 350,000 vehicles, it turns out that people really love a certain California-built, electrically powered luxury sedan. That's right, this year's the overall winner was the Tesla Model S with a whopping 98 percent of owners saying they would purchase another one (the Model S also won this award last year, with 99 percent satisfaction). The Chevrolet Corvette Stingray came in a close second with 95 percent of drivers hoping to park another one in their garage. A few models weren't quite so favored, though. The Nissan Versa Sedan was the least loved model among its owners; a mere 42 percent said that they would purchase another. The aging Jeep Compass didn't do much better, with just 43 percent of drivers willing to buy the softroader again. On average, about 70 percent of owners say they would buy their car again, and only four cars ranked below 50 percent in CR's findings. Check out the video above to see some of the winners and losers in a few of CR's categories. If you're a subscriber, you can check out the full list on its website.

2014 Chevrolet Corvette C7 Convertible offers a few more views before reveal

Mon, 04 Mar 2013

Over the weekend, Chevrolet released its first images of the new 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible. Now, ahead of the droptop's official introduction tomorrow at the Geneva Motor Show, the automaker has given us a few more shots of the softop C7 showing off the car's rump albeit from a high, strategically positioned angle.
From this angle, it's hard to get a sense for how long and flat the decklid really is, but we can easily see that, like the rest of the C7's design, the new convertible's decklid and tonneau cover are far more detailed than the current car. We also get a better look at the rear haunches sans brake vents, which have apparently been moved to underneath the car in order to accommodate the top's hard cover.
As for the overall styling of the C7 convertible, with the top erected, we get some idea of what a coupe design (as opposed to the Stingray's fastback shape) would look like on this car. The C5 Corvette most recently had a coupe model that did away with the large glass hatchback, and we recently reported on a low-cost "coupe" model potentially being added to the C7's repertoire.

Chevy working on production Impala Midnight Edition

Sat, Dec 13 2014

To put together the Impala Blackout concept for SEMA, Chevrolet didn't need to go much further than its accessories catalog. The in-house connection is what could make it possible for Chevy to get a production version of the Blackout into dealers this model year, with its few bits of chrome trim and dark detailing on the 19-inch aluminum wheels set into an abyss of gloss black paint, black Bowtie, grille surround, rear spoiler and mirror caps. The interior is black leather, with stainless steel for the sill plates and pedals, and an 11-speaker Bose audio system, and it gets the optional 305-horsepower, 3.6-liter V6. The brand's marketing director for cars and crossovers, Steve Majoros, told Edmunds that it could come in late spring, and that it will be called "Midnight Edition." Majoros didn't give any indication of pricing or if the production car will be spec'd out like the concept. If you simply don't want to wait for late spring, you could work your DIY mojo by putting one together the same way Chevrolet did: give the accessories catalog a workout. Related Video:
