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.

First 2015 Chevy Corvette Z06 Sells For One Million Dollars

Mon, Apr 14 2014

NASCAR team owner Rick Hendrick loves buying first-built Chevrolet models for charity. He paid $1 million to buy the first production 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible and $650,000 to get the first 2014 Chevy Camaro Z/28. Hendrick's latest purchase happened at the Barrett-Jackson auction in Palm Beach where he got into a bidding war to pay $1 million to get the first 2015 Corvette Z06. The bidding came quick with the car reaching $100,000 within 3 seconds and hitting $500,000 in about 35 seconds. The money from the sale was donated to the Karmanos Cancer Institute.

Fullsize GM SUVs have a problem that's making owners sick

Thu, Dec 31 2015

Some fullsize SUV owners are getting sick, thanks to a buffeting and vibration problem in 2015 model year examples of the Chevy Tahoe and Suburban, Cadillac Escalade, and GMC Yukon. According to owners' complaints to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the issue can vary from an annoying vibration inside the cabin to an experience so severe that it leads to dizziness and headaches. General Motors is aware of the complaints, but the fix isn't so simple. According to spokesperson Tom Wilkinson to Autoblog, the company "has been tracking this issue for a while." The problem has a fairly low incidence rate, but when it does occur the issue can be "uncomfortable and annoying for owners." There's no precise cause for the issue, Wilkinson claims, and in some cases, simply balancing the tires or changing the door seals can make it go away. However, not all of the fixes are so simple. AutoGuide dug deep into the problem and discovered a GM preliminary information bulletin that advised dealers to remove the headliner and to check the roof's bonds to the bows that go across the vehicle. However, that document included a note that the solution might not entirely eliminate things. According to AutoGuide, adding Dynamat insulation to the roof sometimes helped the problem. A GM spokesperson also told AutoGuide the company fixed the problem at the end of the 2015 model year, and didn't go into any more detail. This roof issue seems linked to some of the worst droning in these SUVs. According to one complaint from a 2015 Suburban owner to NHTSA: "Roof will not remain attached to the roof bows. This causes the buffeting similar to a window being down when all are up. The results span from annoying to painful." A 2015 Yukon owner claims to have another alleged cause for the problem in a NHTSA complaint from February 2015. This person brought their SUV to the dealer seven times over the course of four weeks for vibrations. The dealer replaced the driveshaft, suspension components, and more, but nothing worked. According to an engineer to the service adviser: "In an effort to prevent roll overs, they designed the frame and body mounts too stiff. There are 40 engineers working on issues, they have no solutions that work across the board." Wilkinson told Autoblog that GM is working with customers on an individual basis to rectify things. Since these are newer vehicles, dealers should also fix the problem under warranty.

Compact SUV Comparison: Specs, pics and reviews of every brand's crossover

Wed, Jul 25 2018

Honda CR-V vs Toyota RAV4. Chevy Equinox vs Ford Escape. Mazda CX-5 vs Subaru Forester. Whichever combinations of compact crossover SUV you're considering, there's probably a comparison test or chart out there to read. Heck, you can even create a three-car comparison yourself here at Autoblog. However, if you want a bunch of that information all in one convenient place, well, here it is. Our mega comparison of specs, features and photos of compact SUV entries from every mainstream manufacturer that sells them. That includes the 2018 Chevrolet Equinox, 2018 Ford Escape, 2018 GMC Terrain, 2018 Honda CR-V, 2018 Hyundai Tucson, 2019 Jeep Cherokee (it's already on sale with notable changes from 2018), 2018 Jeep Compass, 2018 Kia Sportage, 2018 Mazda CX-5, 2018 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross (none of Mitsu's SUVs are perfect fits for this segment, so we deemed the MEC the most competitive fit), 2018 Nissan Rogue, 2018 Subaru Forester, 2018 Toyota RAV4 and 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan. We can update this comparison as more information about 2019 models is released, most notably the Forester and RAV4. Now, there are certainly some models that are smaller (Nissan Rogue Sport) or larger (Kia Sorento) that could also be considered, but we figured it was wise to stick with those in this sweet spot of comparable size and price. We also included links to Autoblog reviews, buying guides and smaller comparisons. Engines and Transmissions With rare exception, this segment features four-cylinder power. Sometimes it's turbocharged, often its not, but standard engine outputs are generally in the same ballpark. Therefore, we'd recommend focusing on torque output, as it's what will make a difference around town or when passing, and weighing that versus fuel economy (the Chevy Equinox, GMC Terrain, Honda CR-V and Mazda CX-5 make particularly strong cases in this regard). Many drivers aren't too fond of continuously variable transmissions (CVT), either, so that's another thing to consider and note during a test drive. As you can see, several models are available with performance upgrades. Besides the Jeep Cherokee's available V6, all are more powerful turbocharged four-cylinder engines. The exception to this would be the Honda CR-V and Ford Escape, as their 1.5-liter turbo engines don't prioritize performance. Instead, they serve as overall upgrades to the base naturally aspirated engines standard on only their base trim levels (CR-V LX and Escape S).
