1960 Chevrolet Impala

The car starts right up and it is very dependable. This is not a car that will leave you stranded somewhere. It could be used as a daily driver if desired but a car like this should be a weekend car to get away from it all. No weird noises, oil leaks or other nasty problems.

Registration and Title
The car has been recently registered and has a clean Hawaii title. The car was purchased from California 4 years ago. It has the original Year of Manufacture plates (Yellow with black letters & matching sticker).

Accessories
I have the Owners Manual, 1960 Impala dealer pamphlet, Shop Manual, Wiring Diagrams manual, and Assembly Manual.

Body
The doors close with a nice solid thump. All panels line up perfectly. The front clip of the car has all relatively new parts (radiator support, wheel wells, hood latch, hood springs). All the weather stripping has been replaced, from the hood to the trunk.The car also has matching locks throughout, so 1 key will open all doors, trunk, glovebox, and start it up.

The frame is solid, with no visible holes or damage. The car has never been modified or cut in any way.

Glass
It has all windows and glass and they all roll up and down. No cracks or chips. However, the small vent windows have some minor bubbling around the edges, not too noticeable.

Moldings
It has all the moldings and most are in near perfect. It has minor dings and dents on the moldings but 90% are like new, still very shiny and straight. I have been told they can be fixed and polished easily if desired to be restored to showroom condition.

Paint
The paint is in ok condition. However, it is not a “show” or super quality paint job. It has some small paint chips throughout and small blemishes on the trunk area. The defects are minor, but it will be in need a paint job sooner or later. Overall it looks great and is a real head-turner whenever you take it for a ride.

Electrical
Headlights, low and high beams work. Interior dome lights work. Dash lights work. Turn signals work. Horn works. Tail lights and reverse lights work. Glovebox light works. Parking warning light works. Simply put, this is almost in perfect condition. I recently upgraded the generator to an alternator. The generator had been recently rebuilt but I wanted some more power to run the extra audio components. The Generator (charging) light also works and is wired to the alternator. It is a chrome alternator and looks really nice.

Audio
I have added new speakers in the front and rear. The factory radio does not work. However, I have wired an iPod and mp3 kit so you can play all your favorite tunes. The volume for the iPod/mp3 player is controlled from the factory radio volume knob. Set of Clarion sub-woofers in the back (non-mounted) for great sounds and a speaker in the front under the dash. Everything is powered by amp and EQ.

Engine
It has a 348 motor with an automatic transmission and it runs like a champ! Starts right up and it has plenty of power. The radiator was also re-cored in the last few years. It also has an electric fan installed. It has a 4 year old complete exhaust installed. Also has new hoses and gas cap for the gas tank. The odometer reads 89XXX. However, the odometer just stopped working a little while back. Since then I have only put about 500 miles on the vehicle.

Brakes and Suspension
The brakes work great and were recently inspected and adjusted. The rear has new shocks. It rides real smooth.

Interior
The interior is in excellent condition, no rips or tears (it looks brand new). The carpet could use a cleaning but it has no stains, holes or tears. I have added two color matching seatbelts in the front and rear. Everything looks great and the dash is also near perfect.

Other
The trunk has a custom setup with plenty of space in the designated compartments for tools/audio/spare tire/whatever. It is wrapped in white and aqua/turquoise vinyl to match the exterior. This is not permanent and may be easily removed in 5 minutes if desired.

Rust
For the age of the car, this is certainly in good shape. However, there are some areas in need of minor attention. The trunk area has 1 or 2 some small holes (about 1” in diameter) which could be patched. However, the trunk is still very solid, I have been in the trunk while wiring up the audio and it has held up just fine. The area just behind the rear wheels are showing some small bubbling from rust. The driver side rear passenger floorpan has some rust, which has gone through but it has a metal pan installed. The floorpans are all solid overall and are fine the way they are unless you plan on fully restoring the car. Again, there is some rust but very minor and could be fixed very easily.

Wheels and Tires
The Impala is sitting on a beautiful set of Daytons. These is a bit of rust on them, and if you decide to keep them you'll probably want to have them re-chromed in the near future.
Tires are solid and in great condition.

Recent Work
Head gaskets and torque bolts
Steering coupling and gear box
New rear brake lines
New wiper motor
Axle bearings
All of this work has been done in the last 1000 miles, making this Impala a smoother ride and a lot of fun to drive.

If you've got any questions, please ask and I will do my best to answer them. Thank you for your interest.

GM issues stop-sale order for 2024 Chevy Colorado, GMC Canyon pickups

Tue, Feb 20 2024

General Motors has issued a stop sale for the midsize 2024 Chevrolet Colorado and 2024 GMC Canyon pickups due to software problems, the Detroit Free Press reported Tuesday. The newspaper had previously reported that trucks were piling up in GM's Wentzville Assembly holding lot. Well, now we know why. As happened with the 2024 Chevy Blazer EV late last year, the midsize pickups are grounded until further notice.Â While GM declined to reveal the nature of the software issues to the Free Press, we've seen the chaos inflicted by the company's current digital suite manifest in the Blazer's rocky launch. In some cases, those EVs were effectively bricked (whether permanently or temporarily) by glitches that plagued the infotainment. And because modern infotainment touches virtually every aspect of vehicle operation, what might sound like a trivial issue can quickly snowball.Â The Edmunds test vehicle produced "the single longest list of major faults" the outlet had ever seen.Â Some trucks have already shipped to dealers and will remain on hold there until serviced and released; it appears GM will continue to hold trucks at its Missouri production facility until they receive software updates to address the ongoing issues. GM did not provide a timetable for software fixes or the resumption of customer deliveries.Â Â Â Â

GM files to trademark name Badlands

Mon, Feb 23 2015

If you've been hoping for General Motors to come out swinging at the Ford F-150 Raptor, we've had some tantalizing news for you of late. Last month we brought you a report that indicated GM has trademarked the name "Z71 Trail Boss," suggesting a potential hardcore off-roader. Now it seems the General has filed for a potentially even better name. That name, as our friends over at GM Authority have discovered, is "Badlands." The application, filed on February 16, indicates that it's for a truck, but of course it doesn't specify just what form it would take... or for that matter, under which division it would fall. So we could, in theory, be looking at the nameplate for a Raptor rival from Chevy or GMC (like the 2011 Sierra All Terrain HD concept pictured here), or for some other trim level, a concept truck, a special edition... just about anything. Heck, it could be for a Vauxhall, Opel or Holden for all we know at this point. Or GM could choose not to use it on anything at all, but here's hoping it'll emerge as something awesome in US showrooms sometime soon.

Top 11 Lego Technic cars to buy on Amazon in 2024

Mon, Jan 22 2024

Autoblog may receive a share from purchases made via links on this page. Pricing and availability are subject to change. I recently got a birthday wish list from my 11-year-old nephew, and I couldn't help but smile when I saw “Lego Technic CarsÂ” at the top. Lego isnÂ’t a phase, itÂ’s a lifestyle. Once a Lego fan, always a Lego fan. In fact, IÂ’d be willing to bet that many of you reading this right now have some kind of Lego vehicle in a box somewhere, or better yet, on display in your home. While theyÂ’re not necessarily cheap, getting into building Lego Technic vehicles doesnÂ’t have to bankrupt you, either, unless you go for the $400 Lamborghini right off the bat. Here are 11 of our favorite Lego Technic vehicles on Amazon, right now, ranging from an affordable $35 all the way up to $450. LEGO Technic Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Ages 9+ (544 Pieces) - $39.99 (20% off) One of my first and favorite model cars growing up was a first-gen Ford Mustang GT350, so this GT500 for under $40 is right up my alley. At 544 pieces and made for ages 9 and up, the GT500 is a considerable step up from Grave Digger but a great starter to a Technic collection nonetheless. It isnÂ’t the most accurate-looking vehicle in this list, but the AR app and the fact that it can drive make it a worthwhile purchase. $39.99 at Amazon LEGO Technic Formula E Porsche 99X Electric Ages 9+ (422 Pieces) - $49.99 Not a Ford fan? Not a problem. This Formula E Porsche 99X is the same price and better looking than the GT500. Even though there are 122 fewer pieces in this Porsche set, it has a level of detail seen in much more expensive Technic sets including numerous decals and a pull back motor.Â $49.99 at Amazon LEGO Technic Jeep Wrangler Ages 9+ (665 Pieces) - $54.99 This is the set I ended up going with for my nephew, not because I think it is the coolest, but because for the price, I think you get the most bang for your buck. 665 pieces is over 50% more than the comparatively priced Porsche 99X and it also scratches the nostalgia itch for me: The first-ever model vehicle I built was a yellow Jeep Wrangler Sahara. This Wrangler Rubicon has definitely had some aftermarket mods like the front winch, which makes it one of the coolest Technic sets under $60.Â $54.99 at Amazon LEGO Technic Monster Jam Grave Digger Ages 7+ (212 Pieces) - $34.16 If ever there was a gateway Lego Technic, this Grave Digger is it.
