Seller Remarks The first time I drove this car, I fell in love with it. As a result, I have always taken particular care of it and it has always been kept in the garage. On the road it handles like a dream. If you’ve never driven one of these, you’re in for a treat. Around town, it will take most of the new sporty import cars at a light. I joke that it’s a hybrid, it burns gas and rubber. (But I never do that.) And unlike many Impalas, this one has not been modified in any way, except for the Impala logo valve stem caps I added. Black was always the most popular choice for this car, and it looks spectacular. My grandson hit a deer with it a couple of year ago and I had it repaired with GM parts and repainted to factory specs. (I still love him but he’s out of the will). It would take an expert to notice any difference. The only interior available with the Impala was gray leather with front bucket seats. In 1996, they moved the shifter to the console and added a tachometer and the 160 mph speedometer. The interior shows only minor signs of use, certainly in line with the mileage. The steering wheel has normal wear on the top. I put a matching cover on it but I hear they can be refinished. The front seats are in good condition with minimal wear or discoloration, and the cushion still has good support for long road trips. The back seat still looks brand new and there have been no more than a handful of passengers back there over the past 20 years. The gauges are 100% functional. I repaired the odometer resistor which goes out on these cars and the rear door window rollers which break. It retains the original Delco AM/FMCD stereo, which sounds decent even compared to some of today’s audio tech. Of course, everything was included with the SS such as A/C, power windows and locks, and cruise control, coin holder in the console and it all works like it should. In back, there’s a giant trunk carrying the original full-size spare, which I don’t think has ever been on the ground. The engine is GM’s indestructible 5.7 liter LT1 V8, which makes 260 horsepower in the Impala. I had the transmission replaced in Dec 09 at about 100,000 miles. It’s the 4L60E 4-speed automatic. It’s the same power train that was used in the police Caprice interceptors. The Impala SS is a rare machine, not just terms of production, but in that it is a car that simultaneously created and ended a niche market, yet it remains popular years later. As the last rear-wheel-drive, body on frame sedan built by GM, it does hold a place of distinction. But add in a Corvette-sourced LT1 under the hood, an athletic suspension, and that distinctive monochromatic paint job and you have a slam-dunk of a collector car that will always sell for a premium price for years after it went out of production. Seems like when they got everything right, they quit making them. The car is located just south of Wichita, KS. I have it listed locally and reserve the right to end the auction early. Payment must be COD and any shipping will be up to you. |

The USPS needs 180,000 new delivery vehicles, automakers gearing up to bid
Wed, Feb 18 2015Winning the New York City Taxi of Tomorrow tender was a huge prize for Nissan, even though the company is still working through the process of claiming its prize. The United States Postal Service has begun the process to take bids for a new delivery vehicle to replace the all-too-familiar Grumman Long Life Vehicle, and that will be a much larger plum for the automaker who wins it, perhaps worth more than six billion dollars. The Grumman LLV is an aluminum body covering a Chevrolet S-10 pickup chassis and General Motors' Iron Duke four-cylinder engine. The USPS bought them from 1987 to 1994, and the 163,000 of them still in service are a monumental drain on postal resources: they get roughly ten miles to the gallon instead of the quoted 16 mpg, drink up more than $530 million in fuel each year, and their constant repair needs like the balky sliding door and leaky windshields have led the service to increase the annual maintenance budget from $100 million to $500 million. A seat belt is about as modern as it gets for safety technology, and the USPS says that assuming things stay the same, it can't afford to run them beyond 2017. Last year it put out two triage requests for proposals seeking 10,000 new chassis and drivetrains for the Grumman and 10,000 new vehicles. The LLV is also too small for the modern mail system in which package delivery is growing and letter delivery is declining. The service says it doesn't have a fixed idea of the ideal "next-generation delivery vehicles," but it listed a number of requirements in its initial request and is open to any proposal. Carriers have some suggestions, though, saying they want better cupholders, sun visors that they can stuff letters behind, a driver's compartment free of slits that can swallow mail, and a backup camera. The request for information sent to automakers pegs the tender at 180,000 vehicles that would cost between $25,000 and $35,000 apiece, and it will hold a conference on February 18 to answer questions about the contract. GM is the only domestic maker to avow an interest, while Ford and Fiat-Chrysler have remained cagey. Yet with a possible $6.3 billion up for grabs and some new vans for sale that would be advertised on every block in the country, we have a feeling everyone will be listening closely come February 18. We also have a feeling the LeMons series is going to be flooded with Grummans come 2017. News Source: Wall Street Journal, Automotive News - sub.
GM recalls 83,572 SUVs for ignition switch issue
Sun, Jan 4 2015General Motors is recalling 83,572 SUVs from the 2011 and 2012 model years over a potential ignition lock actuator issue. In affected vehicles, the actuator isn't the right size, which could cause the ignition to get stuck in the "Start" position, and then either due to a jarring event or a "cool interior temperature" the ignition could switch back to the "Accessory" position. Doing so would cause a loss of power assistance and the airbags might not deploy. This is a different ignition issue than the one that's been ongoing for the past year. GM said it expects that less than 500 vehicles suffer from the problem, but that the pool could include vehicles from 2007 through to 2014 that have already been fixed, but with defective parts. The 2011-2012 SUVs included in the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration notice: Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT, Chevrolet Avalanche, Silverado HD, Silverado LD, Suburban, Tahoe, GMC Sierra LD, Sierra HD, Yukon, and Yukon XL vehicles. GM will notify owners and dealers will inspect the ignition lock housing to see if it needs a free replacement. RECALL Subject : Ignition Lock Actuator may Bind Report Receipt Date: DEC 30, 2014 NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V827000 Component(s): ELECTRICAL SYSTEM Manufacturer: General Motors LLC SUMMARY: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT, Chevrolet Avalanche, Silverado HD, Silverado LD, Suburban, Tahoe, GMC Sierra LD, Sierra HD, Yukon, and Yukon XL vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the ignition lock actuator may bind, making turning the key difficult or causing the ignition to get stuck in the "Start" position. CONSEQUENCE: If stuck in the "Start" position, the ignition may suddenly snap back into the "Accessory" position, causing a loss of engine, steering, and braking power, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash. If the vehicle is in a crash, the air bags may not deploy, increasing the risk of occupant injury. REMEDY: GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the ignition lock housing, as necessary, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact GM customer service at 1-800-458-8006 (Cadillac), 1-800-222-1020 (Chevrolet), or 1-800-462-8782 (GMC). GM's number for this recall is 14696 for the original equipment, and 14912 for the service replacement parts.
