There are only a select few cars that have been cool from the moment they were built, and the 1961 Impala Bubble Top is one of them. Texas Classic Cars of Dallas is very proud to present one of a kind Impala SS Bubble Top. It's a restored ride packing a 409ci  block under its hood and making it a lot more than just a good looking body design.

The current owner of this awesome Impala purchased it and found that it needed a little refreshing. He took it to Carr's Corvettes and Customs, and had the car completely gone over. We have a notebook with detailed photos and invoices of every item.

There is for sure not many of these fine cars around. Maybe you have seen one with the same exterior, but it's what's under the hood that counts. Making this Impala stand out from the others is the Dual Quad Core 409 V engine producing 425 HP.

The initial restoration had been done before it's purchase . It was items that were  safety related and things like a steering box rebuild and new wiring harness that were done by Carr's.

The red paint has a depth and clarity that is  sometimes lacking on red cars, it shows off the long spears and with the contrasting chrome that make this car look about a mile long. Bumpers are beyond beautiful, re-chromed and  all six tail lights are in magnificent conditions.

The Mickey Thompson tires are the perfect combination on a great looking car, the sizes are F70/15 front and G60/15 rear. For the purist, the origianl hubcaps and fender skirts are included with the car.

This is a really incredible 61. This car is ready to enjoy. Carr's did everything that needed to be done to make this car ready to just turn the key and go. There are receipts totaling just over $30,000.to many to list, so call with any questions.

On the interior, the instrument cluster was removed to install the new gauges, headlight switch and turn signals. All new wiring  harness was  installed.

Bright red is the smart choice in this car, and a fully restored interior in this one looks beyond amazing. The two tone white and red seat covers look just like its originals.

Matching its seats, the two toned steering wheel is a great accent.  The original speedometer is still in place. Also a Hurst ball shifter is in place for shifting through the 4-speed trasmission.

Every nut, bolt or install kit was used when bringing this beauty back to original. There is simply too much to list on what has already been completed thus far.

All the gauges are working properly, the radio was deleted as in most big block cars.

The engine is bolted to a  T-10 4-speed transmission and connects out back to a 3.23:1 posi-trac rear end. This car is truly a thing of beauty and performance.

For starters on what has already been replaced, there is a whole binder full of invoices that track every step along the way so far. The work has been performed by Carr's Corvettes & customs. The transmission has been disassembled and checked over for anything that needed repair and put back together. There is R&R valve cover with premium 409 gaskets. R&R distributor and plugs were also installed. Even a Zoom 10.4" HP street clutch was installed.

The block is stamped on the front  with T0327  QD. We don't believe it to be a matching #s car, but it is a true 409

We could write paragraphs on this Bubble Top, but the pictures tell it all. Give us a call to talk further.

Plug In 2014: VIA makes the case for 'free' plug-in hybrid work vans, trucks

Fri, Aug 1 2014

If you're a fleet manager who's been waiting anxiously for the chance to buy a plug-in hybrid van from Via Motors, your wait is almost over. If you work for the right fleet, anyway. David West, the chief marketing efficer for VIA Motors, took AutoblogGreen for a ride around the San Jose Convention Center in a Via van sporting an Electric Blue paint job as part of the Plug In 2014 Conference this week and gave us an update on how things are coming along. The big news is that the Via PHEV van production is going to start by the end of September. Via can currently build two vans an hour at its production plant in Mexico, or about 16 a day and could easily double that. "That would get us to 20,000 a year with two full lines running," West said. "We have the capacity." "There is no way gas can compete with electric." – David West, Via Motors But they can't sell that many quite yet. By the end of December, around 350 Vans will be made, mostly for a $20-million program from the Department of Energy (DOE) and the South Coast Air Quality Management District that will see the vehicles used by fleets that will report energy data to the Idaho National Lab. Via is also finishing up CARB certification for both the van and the company's plug-in hybrid pick-up truck. About 50 percent of Via's technology in the truck will not need to be tested again, since it's the same as what's in the van, but things like crash tests will need to be done twice. Despite the progress, this is not where Via hoped it would be today. The bankruptcy of battery supplier A123, "took about a year off our timeline," West said. "It's been getting a little slow getting it to market, there have been some challenges, particuarly since we had the country's worst recession right in the middle of this wrap up, but it's inevitable in my mind. There is no way gas can compete with electric." Maybe that's why FedEx has expressed an interest in buying around 5,000 units, West said. FedEx already has some pilot vehicles, just like Verizon does, and PG&E wants to replace all of their gas trucks with electric vehicles, which would be another 3,000 sales, he said. Besides the fuel savings, vehicles like these, with easy on-site power generation, could also work wonders in post-disaster situations, he said, since they could replace the need for generators.

GM to squeeze out more production capacity for midsize trucks

Tue, May 26 2015

General Motors was predicting a strong showing for the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon before they debuted, and demand among dealers for the midsize trucks even exceeded company's expectations. The positive situation has left GM with a problem, though: finding ways to increase capacity for the pickups at the Wentzville Assembly plant in Missiouri. With a third shift already running, GM has continued to look for ways to build just a few more of the trucks at the plant. The company has plans to hire as many as 1,000 more workers for the Saturday and Sunday shifts to construct an additional 2,000 pickups a month, according to unnamed insiders at the factory speaking to Automotive News. The little adjustments even extend to getting rid of an unpaid break to add 18 minute of assembly time over the course of a day, which equals about 3,500 more vehicles a year. All of this effort comes because the trucks are in such high demand. According to GM's figures, the company has delivered a combined 35,720 units of the Colorado and Canyon from January through April 2015, and the Chevy was the fastest-selling truck in the US for the previous three months. In May, it spent an average of just 12 days in showrooms before being snapped up. And even better for the company, 43 percent of these buyers came from other brands. According to Automotive News, the most popular trade-ins have included the Ford F-150, Toyota Tacoma, and Dodge Dakota. Related Video:

GM recalls Chevy Express, GMC Savana over rollaway concern

Mon, 21 Jan 2013

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall notice for a small number of General Motors fullsize vans due to possible rollaway concerns. On certain 2013 Chevrolet Express and 2013 GMC Savana models, it is possible to remove the key from the ignition without the shifter being in park.
Only 980 total units are being affected by this recall, and GM is fixing the issue by replacing the ignition cylinder and associated keys. Affected Chevy vans were built during most of November and December while its GMC counterpart was only built for a week in November. The recall goes into effect on January 23, and to find out if your vehicle applies to the recall, the GM and NHTSA contact numbers can be found on the official recall notice, which is posted below.
