Here we have an absolute rust free 60s survivor.  I purchased it from a gentleman that bought it for his wife in 1964.  Her favorite color was red and it was repainted 50 years ago and added 60's style interior.  Was parked in 1984 and recently pulled out of its barn. 

ENGINE COMPARTMENT
Its a 348 V8 with a powerglide automatic transmission. Runs excellent, shifts smoothly and drives great.  Has original generator with power steering, also power brakes.  New brakes all around including rebuilt master cylinder.  Engine bay is untouched, looks like all original components are in place and in good working order.  All lights work and it can be driven daily.  New gas tank and sending unit to keep all the 30 year old dirt away from the rebuilt carburator.   (still have the original gas tank to be cleaned and reinstalled if so desired)

INTERIOR
As previously stated, this is an original 60's style interior.  Its in great shape showing some light fading due to age.  Seat foam is firm like new, no rips or tears. Headliner and sunvisors are in great shape.  The carpet has faded in some areas and theres a small hole near the front passenger sill molding due to age deterioration. The interior stainless, chrome and aluminum show no pitting or surface rust and is all in good shape.  All gauges work except for clock.  Fan and Heater work great and controls are very smooth.  Dash paint is bright shows no damage.

GLASS
Windows go up and down with ease.  There is a small crack on the left lower side of the windshield; according to the original owner, it was there for as long as he owned the car.  Window frames are in very nice shape, with almost no pitting showing if any at all.

EXTERIOR AND TRIM
The chrome is in excellent condition for its age, bright and straight.  Stainless trim is straight and shiny with some small dings on the side spears and side trim. Aluminum is also nice and straight with a few dings here and there.
Doors, trunk and hood open and shut smoothly, better than a new car  -must watch video-
Floors are SOLID, no soft spots or questionable spots anywhere that I can see.  The trunk had the infamous 59 rubber mat which is know to hold moisture, so there is some oxidation but nothing rusted or rotted through.  I got rid of the mat and left the upper section in place as its glued down and didnt want to rip it out.
All original metal, no body work ever done on this incredible rust free body.  It is an original BLACK car with red interior.   It was repainted red 50 years ago, all jams were done too.  Still shows nice and its presentable, but keep in mind its half a century old.  There are some "everyday" paint scratches and the trunk shows some of the paint that has come off.  There are no notable dings, dents or body damage.


So here is your chance to own a true one of a kind 59 Impala, you will be hard pressed to find another example of a clean solid ready to go survivor.  You could to leave it alone and enjoy it as is; as a 60s original survivor.  Or perfect to do a makeover with a great solid canvas which you know what it is from day one.  

There are lots of pics and Videos, please feel free to ask any questions and offers will be considered,  but because the uniqueness of this car its very tough to put a dollar figure on it.  

Once its payed for, I can assist with shipping and can also store vehicle indoor for a reasonable amount of time.

GM cutting Chevy Sonic, Buick Verano production [UPDATE]

Sun, Jan 25 2015

UPDATE: A previous version of this story indicated that Orion Assembly would be idled for seven weeks, from February 16 through April 6. This was incorrect. The factory will instead only be idled for the weeks of February 16 and April 6. The story has been edited to reflect this. General Motors has announced that the factory responsible for the Buick Verano and Chevrolet Sonic will be idled for the weeks of February 16 and April 6, with blame being placed on excess supply. The Orion Assembly plant, about 45 minutes north of GM's Renaissance Center headquarters, employs about 1,800 people, but they'll be given a pair of furloughs as inventories of the sub-compact Sonic and premium compact Verano reach 127 days and 84 days, respectively. That works out to 26,600 Chevys and 9,800 Buicks waiting for buyers. According to Automotive News, the compact Chevy sales bested the industry average in 2014, jumping up nine percent versus the the overall segment's eight-percent gain, while the Buick sedan's sales were down four percent. When asked about the shutdown, a GM spokesman told AN that it will "build to market demand," while also pointing out that the company did not comment on production plans.

Why the Corvette is Chevrolet's billion-dollar baby

Thu, 28 Feb 2013

Edmunds has worked up a piece that tries to figure out just how much the global Chevrolet Corvette economy is worth, a spitballed guesstimate putting the number at more than $2.5 billion with the proviso that the number is probably low. It starts by taking Corvette's new car sales of 14,132 units last year, which would equate to $714,725,900 (including destination) assuming ever car sold was a base coupe with no options. In the final tally, a little extra padding gets that number up to $750,000,000.
But that's not all. Consider this: Many of the almost 1.4 million Corvettes produced over the model's history are still on the road. There are new parts being produced and aftermarket companies like Mid-America Motorworks deaing business, that single Illinois company doing more than $40 million a year in sales. There are the Corvette events large and small, restorers who do nothing but Corvettes, salvage yards that deal only in used Corvette parts and the Corvette magazines where owners find all this stuff.
And then there are the Corvette-themed tchotchkes, every single one of which provides a tiny contribution to the huge licensing royalties that General Motors collects every year. The article admits there's no way to come to an accurate number, but it just goes to show how valuable one specific model can be to a company.

The Opel GT is the concept General Motors should build for the US

Sat, Feb 27 2016

Now is the time. General Motors should double-down on performance cars and build the Opel GT concept that's set to debut next week at the Geneva Motor Show. Better yet, sell it in the United States as the Chevy GT. Consumers are showing a thirst for performance cars not seen in decades. Ford has them coming in waves, with everything from the F-150 Raptor to a hotted-up Fusion. FCA US is unrepentantly building loads of Hellcats. GM should respond. The General's cupboard is hardly bare. With the Corvette, Camaro, and Cadillac's V-Series, GM has more than enough to compete with its crosstown rivals and anything Europe or Japan can throw at it. But there's also an opportunity. There's not many front-mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive, two-seat sports cars out there like the Opel GT concept. A Chevy GT that used that layout and captured some of the concept car's proportions and curves would ignite a different kind of passion in enthusiasts. It would be Miata-like. With Chevy branding, this sports car would be the everyday exotic. The concept has a turbocharged 1.0-liter three-cylinder engine, which makes about 143 horsepower to motivate a structure that weighs less than 2,200 pounds. It can hit 60 miles per hour in less than eight seconds. All of those numbers are within the front-engined Miata's territory. This new Opel is inspired by two great mid-1960s concepts that helped put its design studio, and that of its sister brand, the British Vauxhall, on the map. (The GT concept is also technically a Vauxhall, as the brands are linked in GM's European strategy.) One of them, the '66 Vauxhall XVR remained a concept. The '65 Opel Experimental GT was on the road by 1968. That shows this is doable. There's precedent. The Saturn Sky and Pontiac Solstice shared a chassis with a modern GT during that trio's brief run. If GM ever makes this concept, Opel and Vauxhall should get their versions. But Chevy is the one that could make this car a global icon. Chevrolet GT. Make it happen. News & Analysis News: The potential return of the Ford Bronco is generating a ton of attention. Analysis: That's not news, per se. But when the Bronco6G.com fan site did a rendering of a next-generation Bronco, it almost broke the Internet. Everyone from Automotive News to Jalopnik picked up the illustrations. Our own post has drawn a lot of traffic and passionate responses. People are clamoring for the Bronco's return.
