Daytona blue on black vinyl interior.  327/300 HP 4spd manual.  Rare 63 Split Window Stingray Coupe.  Early production car with storage wells under seats. Date code correct engine, see below.  Data plate info--style 63837  trim--std  body--1662  paint--916A


Selling for my dad who has owned it about 15 years.  Great driving, looking car!  Previous owner had all the suspension and brakes done front to back, springs, shocks,trailing arms, bushings, steering linkage, drum brakes.
  
Car was repainted very nicely done prior to that no history on when but still shines great.  no overspray no masking marks door jambs done.  There are a few nicks and scuffs here and there from age and use but they are minor, the car shows very very well.
  
All chrome and stainless trim is in good condition.  Bumpers are nice.  All original glass in excellent condition, windshield is a replacement but also nice.  

Black vinyl interior, believed to be original in good shape.  Carpet definitely looks original and is nice.  Seats also but drivers bottom has a small [2"] split.  Guage bezel is original showing minor patina but is uncracked and compliments the originality of the interior.  Nice console with minor wear on aluminum around shifter nothing major.  We put a new headliner in and resprayed all the surrounding trim years ago.  The headliner has since come unstuck in a spot needs to be re glued, its still perfect and its a plastic replacement so its perfectly reusable. 

Drivetrain is the 327-300Hp 4spd manual.  Starts, runs, drives, stops, steers EXCELLENT.  we pulled the heads due to worn guides a couple years ago and had the heads completely re done new valves, modern valve seals.  At that time did the research on numbers matching or not and have concluded it is not but it IS date code correct for the block, heads, intake.  Block #3782870  K202 [Nov 20 1962]   Heads are 10-1962.  intake # 3866922   the front pass side pad of the block is FI2IOS dont know what that means.  We dont claim to be vette experts but have shown these numbers to one who confirms the date code correctness.  We also painted and detailed the top end when it was apart.  Engine compartment is very nice clean and correct minus the air cleaner and holley carb on it [do have the original carb goes with but not the air cleaner]  

Underneath is pretty clean as well not rusty and crusty, nice solid frame, nice 2 1/2" exhaust with stainless mufflers. Few drips around engine [mostly needs oil pan gasket]  couple on trans and rear end,  just seepage leaks.  Tires are nearly new [couple years but little miles] they have the correct whitewall on the inside facing of car [dad chose the blackwall look with option to turn them around possibilty for originality]  We also did all new u joints on driveshaft and rear half shafts 

This is a solid complete great looking and driving 63. Not a show car but very very NICE car.  I describe things as they are Ive sold many high end cars here and other places and my descriptions are honest and critical.  Have many more pics and can take some of whatever youd like, feel free to contact for questions.  Reserve is quite fair considering what these cars are going for these days, but reserve wont be disclosed, bid what you can afford and feel its worth.  Everything works on it except wipers [needs motor repaired]

$1000 NON REFUNDABLE deposit due within 48hrs after auction ends.  Balance due before car pickup via wire transfer.  Please contact me if you have less than 5 positive feedbacks before bidding.

2014 Chevrolet Impala [w/video]

Fri, 15 Mar 2013

Can A Fleet Queen Become a Fullsize King?
On paper, the Chevrolet Impala is a pretty strong seller, posting annual sales that have hovered right around 170,000 units for the last two years, but it only takes one trip to practically any rental car agency to discover where the majority of those sales have come from. In fact, General Motors told Autoblog that a full 70 percent of Impala sales last year went to fleet companies for things like rental cars and government vehicles. Logic tells us that this is neither good for resale values nor name equity, so Chevrolet is getting ready to roll out an all-new Impala with improved comfort, styling and technology, hoping to turn the tables on its retail-to-fleet ratio.
Chevrolet's sedans have come on quite strong in the last few months with the introduction of the Cruze diesel and the SS sedan, but while these will likely be low-volume sellers, there's more pressure for the new Impala to perform well as GM looks to slash fleet sales and compete with the wide variety of full-size sub-luxury sedans. Riding on a platform shared with the Buick LaCrosse and Cadillac XTS, the 2014 Impala will compete against the Hyundai Azera, Ford Taurus and Toyota Avalon on the more traditional side, while also looking to take a bite out of somewhat sportier models like the Chrysler 300/Dodge Charger twins and the Nissan Maxima. We headed to sunny San Diego to see if this totally new Impala can stand on its own without the assistance of fleet companies and rental agencies. [w/video

C7 Corvette makes inaugural ad appearance in Chevy's first spot with new slogan

Mon, 11 Feb 2013

Chevrolet's "Runs Deep" tagline has finally been run into the ground, replaced with the Bowtie brand's "Find New Roads" slogan that's part of parent General Motors' plan to unify its everyday brand's marketing efforts worldwide. The new Chevrolet campaign was ushered in on prime time last night during the Grammy Awards on CBS, and the first spot, a 90-second full-line ad, also marks the first appearance of the 2014 Corvette Stingray in a commercial.
Being a full-line ad, the commercial is composed of vignettes centered on different vehicles in the brand's lineup. The all-new 2014 Impala also makes its first commercial appearance in dapper fashion, and time is spent on a skateboarding Sonic and a bouquet of brightly colored Spark hatchbacks driven by fashionable women. The ad starts and ends with Chevy's green halo car, the Volt, along with a young girl with her robotic dog (yes, really).
Chevrolet's "Runs Deep" campaign got off to a rocky start in the fall of 2010, but it did last for a couple of years with some tweaks. This new one, "Find New Roads" seems more intent on drawing new customers into the fold than the outgoing tagline, which seemed to play more toward the brand faithful. It admittedly reminds us more than a little the short-lived "Find Your Own Road" Saab motto (which, we note, was conceived while the Swedish brand was under GM's control), but no matter, we still think it's got more long-term potential than "Runs Deep."

Nissan Leaf ends 2013 with best sales month ever, but can't catch Chevy Volt

Fri, Jan 3 2014

Nissan and Chevrolet both ended 2013 with solid sales figures for their plug-in vehicles, the first two that were released (all the way back at the end of 2010) from major automakers. As has been the story for most of 2013, December sales for the Nissan Leaf and the Chevy Volt were roughly the same. When we left the year-to-date running tally at the end of November, the Volt was at 20,702, while the Leaf was at 20,080. As you can tell from the image above (if you've been noticing the trend in these EV sales monthly flash-reports), the Leaf outsold the Volt, but was it enough to put the Nissan on top for the year? In 2013, Nissan sold 22,610 Leafs, more than twice as many as in 2012. Almost. The Leaf made a valiant attempt, and did have its best month ever with 2,529 units sold. That means that for 2013, Nissan moved a total of 22,610 Leafs, more than twice as many as in 2012 (that year, Nissan sold only 9,819 Leafs in the US) and actually more than 2012 and 2011 Leaf sales combined (which was 19,493). Nissan continues to see the effects of its price drop and expanded sales areas, with Georgia rapidly becoming a Leaf hotbed. Nissan's Paige Presley said that Atlanta was once again the Leaf's number one market and that, "sales are expanding deeper into Georgia markets such as Macon and Columbus." The Volt saw a boost upwards from a November slump and sold 2,392 units in December. That puts the plug-in hybrid's annual total at 23,094, just down from the 23,461 sold in 2012. For all of 2013, though, the Volt outsold the Leaf by 484 vehicles. In a competition like this, we'll count that as a win for both sides. We will our more detailed monthly green car sales report, which covers more of the fuel efficient vehicles on the market, up soon.
