1962 Chevrolet Impala 4-door Hardtop Original 327 Car Rust-free Survivor on 2040-cars
Helena, Montana, United States
|
OFFERED FOR SALE IS THIS 1962 CHEVROLET IMPALA 4 DOOR HARD TOP!
THIS CAR IS AN ABSOLUTE GREAT FIND! EVEN THOUGH THE MILEAGE IS PROBABLY IN EXCESS OF 200,000 MILES, IT'S VERY COMPLETE, UN-TAMPERED, AND RUST AND ROT FREE! IT RUNS AND DRIVES. ORIGINALLY PURCHASED IN CALIFORNIA, IT SPENT MOST OF IT'S LIFE IN BARSTOW AND HAD BEEN IN STORAGE IN MONTANA UNTIL JUST RECENTLY. THE CAR RUNS AND DRIVES, BUT THE CARB DOES NEED A KIT. I HAD NEW PLUGS, POINTS, CAP, ROTOR, AND FUEL PUMP INSTALLED. I FIGURED THE BUYER COULD TACKLE THE CARB. THE POWER BRAKES ARE VERY, VERY TOUCHY. THE MUFFLERS ON THE DUAL EXHAUST WERE ABSOLUTELY SHOT, SO I HAD TEST PIPES WELDED IN, BECAUSE IT WAS LESS EXPENSIVE THAN NEW MUFFLERS. THE CAR IS LOUD. ALL THE WINDOWS ROLL UP AND DOWN WITH EASE. THE WINDSHIELD HAS A WIPER TRACKS ON IT, BUT OTHER THAN THE PASSENGER'S WING WINDOW, THERE IS NO BROKEN SOFT RAY TINTED GLASS (THE WING WINDOW ONLY HAS A ROCK CHIP CRACK IN IT). THERE IS NO WASHER SYSTEM FOR THE WINDSHIELD. LOOK AT THE PICTURES OF THE FIREWALL AND THE WIPER CONTROL. THE INTERIOR IS DIRTY AND COULD USE A GOOD CLEANING. I DID A QUICK VACUUMING. THE MAJORITY OF THE WEAR IS ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE (CARPET AND VENT KICK). THE AM RADIO WORKS AND THE SPEAKER SOUNDS GOOD. THE DRIVER'S ARM REST IS WORE OUT. THE FRONT SEAT HAS BEEN RECOVERED AND THERE IS A SPRING POKING THROUGH ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE BACK (PICTURED). THE CAR DOES HAVE ALL FOUR ORIGINAL HUBCAPS, ORIGINAL SPARE TIRE, AND JACK/LUG WRENCH (IT IS MISSING THE J-BOLT THAT HOLDS THE JACK AND SPARE TIRE DOWN). THE A/C DOES NOT WORK, BUT I HAVE MOST OF THE PARTS (THE BRACKETS FOR MOUNTING THE COMPRESSOR TO THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD ARE MISSING). THE TIRES ARE AT AT LEAST 75% LIFE LEFT. THE GENERATOR HAS BEEN CONVERTED TO AN ALTERNATOR (THE UPPER ALTERNATOR BOLT EAR IS BROKEN, BUT A REPLACEMENT ALTERNATOR IS INEXPENSIVE). I HAD THE OIL CHANGED AND IT HAS BEEN CONVERTED TO A SPIN-ON FILTER. THE TITLE IS CLEAN, CLEAR, AND IN MY NAME. THE ENGINE CODE SUFFIX IS "SA" (PICTURED), WHICH ACCORDING TO THE MANUALS, DENOTES A 1962 327cid ENGINE WITH A POWERGLIDE AND AIR CONDITIONING. HERE IS THE BAD NEWS/GOOD NEWS: THE HEATER CORE LEAKS AND IT RUINED THE CARPET ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE. GOOD NEWS: IT CAN BE FIXED AND THE FLOOR BOARDS ARE SOLID. SOME MORON CUT THE AIR CONDITIONING HOSES, UN-BOLTED THE COMPRESSOR, AND LOST THE MOUNTING BRACKETS, SO IT DOES NOT WORK. GOOD NEWS: I HAVE THE COMPRESSOR AND THE CUT HOSES. THE TRUNK LOCK WAS DRILLED AND THE CYLINDER AND EXTENSION ARE GONE (PICTURED). GOOD NEWS: I'M SURE THEY ARE EASY TO FIND. ONE TAIL LIGHT BULB SOCKET IS BROKEN (PICTURED). GOOD NEWS: GM USED THESE SOCKETS ON MILLIONS OF CARS, SO THEY ARE PLENTIFUL IN THE SALVAGE YARDS. THE CLOCK DOESN'T WORK. GOOD NEWS: WE HAVE WATCHES AND CELLULAR PHONES WITH CLOCKS. THE LIGHTER IS MISSING (SOCKET IS STILL IN THE DASH). GOOD NEWS: SMOKING IS NOT GOOD FOR YOU, SO WITHOUT A LIGHTER YOU WON'T BE TEMPTED TO LIGHT UP. THE POWER STEERING LEAKS. GOOD NEWS: IT ISN'T A LOT AND CAN BE FIXED WITH A NEW HOSE. THE PASSENGER'S WING WINDOW HAS SMALL CRACK IN IT. GOOD NEWS: IT'S STILL INTACT. THE GLOVE BOX LINER IS SHOT. GOOD NEWS: IT'S FOLDED CARD STOCK AND MORE THAN LIKELY CAN BE REPRODUCED. THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR COURTESY DOME LIGHT SWITCH IS ERRATIC. GOOD NEWS: THE PASSENGER'S SIDE WORKS FINE. THE ENGINE RUNS REALLY, REALLY RICH. GOOD NEWS: A CARB REBUILD WOULD FIX THAT. I'M LEAVING THAT TO THE BUYER. THE PARKING BRAKE RELEASE HANDLE IS BROKE AND THE PEDAL PAD IS MISSING (PICTURED). GOOD NEWS: I'M PRETTY CERTAIN A SUITABLE REPLACEMENTS COULD BE FOUND. THE DRIVER'S SUN VISOR MOUNTING BRACKET IS BROKE (PICTURED). GOOD NEWS: IT CAN BE WELDED, GROUND, AND RE-PLATED. THERE IS A SMALL TEAR IN THE HEADLINER NEAR THE PASSENGER'S SIDE COURTESY LIGHT (PICTURED). GOOD NEWS: IT WILL GO AWAY WHEN THE BUYER INSTALLS THEIR OWN CUSTOM INTERIOR. THIS IS THE BEST NEWS ABOUT THE CAR: OTHER THAN A VERY SMALL AMOUNT OF SURFACE RUST, THE BODY, FRAME, AND FLOOR PANS ARE SOLID AND RUST FREE. THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR DOOR HAS SOME VERY MINOR DAMAGE (PICTURED). THERE IS KINK NEAR THE DRIVER'S HEADLIGHTS (PICTURED). THE USUAL PARKING LOT DINGS ARE PRESENT NOTHING DEEP OR SEVERELY CREASED (THE WORST IN THE DRIVER'S REAR QUARTER. PICTURED). THE DOORS, DECK LID, AND HOOD FIT GOOD AND OPERATE WITH EASE AND NO BINDING. ALL THE DOORS CLOSE WITH A RESOUNDING "CA-CHUNK" THE BUMPER LICENSE PLATE PANELS HAVE SOME MINOR "RIPPLING" (PICTURED), THE GRILLE IS REASONABLY STRAIGHT, BUT IT COULD USE SOME MINOR TWEAKING (PICTURED). THE SEATING SURFACES SHOW WEAR, BUT ARE NOT TORN (EXCEPTION: SPRING POKING THROUGH THE BACK. NOTED EARLIER AND PICTURED). THE HEADLINER IS INTACT (ONE SMALL TEAR NOTED EARLIER AND PICTURED). THE CARPET IS A LOSS, AS IT SOAKED UP COOLANT FROM THE LEAKING HEATER CORE AND JUST FLAT DIRTY FROM GROUND IN DIRT. I TRIED TO CLEAN IT, BUT ITS TIME FOR IT TO BE REPLACED, AS THE DRIVER'S SIDE IS THREADBARE. I FIND NO EVIDENCE THAT CAR WAS EVER IN A MAJOR ACCIDENT. I'VE DONE MY BEST TO PICTURE THE CAR, BUT I'M ONLY ALLOWED 24 PICTURES, SO I LINKED THIS LISTING TO A PORTFOLIO ON PHOTOBUCKET.

General Motors Recall List
Wed, Oct 22 2014It seems General Motors can't go more than a few weeks without issuing a major recall. Since the initial ignition lock recall on February 10, over 25 million vehicles have been recalled for defects. It seems General Motors can't go more than a few weeks without issuing a major recall. Since the initial ignition lock recall on February 10, over 25 million vehicles have been recalled for defects. We used the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recall list to compile a snapshot of all the GM vehicles recalled in the last two months. NHTSA also provides a search engine that allows owners to search for recalls on their vehicle. An automotive company must do everything in their power to notify its customers when a recall is issued on a vehicle. If you own any of the following vehicles and you have questions regarding your car, you can contact Chevrolet at 1-866-694-6546, GMC at 1-866-996-9463, Buick at 1-800-521-7300 and Cadillac at 1-866-982-2339. Or check out General Motor's recall site. Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or go to www.safercar.gov. Here's a brief summery of the other vehicles currently under recall: July 26 – 414,333 cars affected NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V447000 Models under recall: Certain model year 2011-2012 Buick LaCrosse, Regal and Chevrolet Camaro, as well as certain 2010-2012 Cadillac SRX, Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain vehicles, equipped with power height adjustable driver and passenger seats. Problem: In the affected vehicles, the bolt that secures the driver's and passenger's power front seat height adjuster may fall out causing the seat to drop suddenly to the lowest vertical position. Consequence: If the driver's seat unexpectedly drops, the distraction and altered seat position may affect the drivers' control of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. Solution: Dealers will replace the height adjuster shoulder bolts, free of charge. July 14 – 16,939 cars affected NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V341000 Models under recall: Certain model year 2011 Cadillac CTS vehicles manufactured October 18, 2010, to June 2, 2011. Problem: In the affected vehicles, vibrations from the drive shaft may cause the vehicle's roll over sensor to command the roof rail air bags to deploy. Consequence: If the roof rail air bags deploy unexpectedly, there is an increased risk of crash and injury to the occupants.
Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes
Wed, 31 Oct 2012It seems the Pontiac Trans Am steadfastly refuses to die. Ever since Chevrolet was granted a retrofied Camaro to compete with the Ford Mustang, Pontiac lovers have lamented the loss of this 1970s icon. And, looking at the Hurst Edition from Trans Am Depot, shown here at the 2012 SEMA Show, may explain what all the fuss is about.
It's not going to appeal to everyone's muscle-car tastes, but there's certainly room for a brash-and-bold black-and-gold Special Edition in many a Trans Am lover's garage. After all, if you want the keys to a custom pony car, you'll certainly get noticed in this one. If this scheme isn't your bag,, you can alternatively order your Hurst Edition in white and gold or silver and black. Oh, and don't forget a color-coordinated Screaming Chicken on the hood.
No matter which way you choose to go, your inner Burt Reynolds will appreciate the Eibach suspension kit, forged wheels with Pirelli PZero tires, functional shaker hood, fender air extractors, rear spoiler and, of course, a Hurst shifter inside. The interior is emblazoned with all manner of special touches, including a Hurst dash plate and T/A stitching on the Katzkin two-tone leather seats.
