Hello,

This Impala is a family heirloom. My uncle purchased it new in Los Angeles, CA in 1962, my grandmother (his mother) acquired the car in 1968. It remained with her in Casper, Wyoming until her passing in 1991. It's been in the care of my brother and I since that time. The car was used fitfully from then until 1998, it's, been seldom-used since then. As far as I know, and with the exception of new (1987) paint and some very minor additions, the car is completely original. It still requires lead-substitute compound to run on unleaded gasoline. The interior too, is all original-the driver's seat upholstery is split in places, but everything else is in great shape. The only option outside of the SS trim is the limited-slip differential. The car will need work to be roadworthy, this isn't a drive-away. It runs well enough but the carburetor needs adjustment, and possibly a rebuild (engine pulls steady vacuum, though) and the exhaust system is shot (but the manifolds are OK). Because the car spent a good part of it's life in the snow belt, there's some rust, but most of it is contained, or can be. At some point in the last five (!) decades, someone installed an alarm key barrel-I'm guessing from childhood memories that it was one of those open-a-door-or-pop-the-hood-and-the-horn-blows gizmos. It's just below the drivers side windshield corner and it's in good order and isn't that much of a distraction. There's also an emergency lamp panel installed under the dashboard. I'll attempt now to to list the attributes of this automobile, and link to my many pictures and videos.

The exhaust system needs replacing from the headers back.

The brake master cylinder is leaking.

There's some rocker panel rust, near the driver's side rear whe

el opening, close to the frame, and some bubbling on the right rear wheel opening.

The trunk has some rust in the left side upright weld under the hinge. The rust stains on the pads (original, but well-worn) are NOT from the car, it's
from iron parts stored in the trunk (chains, extra jack, etc.).

There's a bubble in the paint on the hood-I have no explanation for it, it doesn't appear to be corrosion-related.

The left front brake drum grabs-I pulled it to see what was going on with it, the hydraulics and shoes are OK, but I think it needs a quick pass in a lathe. I left it be, because in my experience, a quick fix can render a good part into junk.

All the electrics are OK, with the exception of the right-most rear brake light, and the wiper motor. I think the wiper motor is OK, the problem probably lies elsewhere. The green "cold" indicator in the dash wasn't working lately, until last week when it came back to life.

The trim is all in place. With the exception of a small segment of the turned aluminum over the left front fender that fell away, everything is as it was new. The hubcap paint hasn't been filled in with new paint-they're as they should be on a 50+ year-old car. Part of the "Impala" emblem on the right flank broke off, it's safe in the glove compartment. No need for a retro knockoff bit :-)

The aluminum grille has some minor damage-it's small, but it's noticeable, so I've mentioned it.

The PVC system (such as it is, for a 50 year-old car) needs hoses and flexible connectors

The tires are very old. I used to be a tire and brake guy, those tires need to be replaced.

There are several scratches in the paint, typical parking lot stuff. If you want to paint the car, this won't matter. Even so, it gets a
lot of attention, the paint as it is looks good on the car.

The engine is sound, but reluctant when cold. The starter solenoid is sometimes intermittent-I have an extra around here somewhere.

The 2-speed cast-iron transmission shifts firmly and when it's supposed to. I averaged 20+ miles to the gallon on the drive from Wyoming
to California. This transmission and a GM small-block was a great, economical combination.

The radio is great, both of the speakers work and it pulls in stations from great distances. From the days when AM radio was everything.

The interior is very nice. The driver's seat is split in places, and the arm rest in the driver's door has electrical tape covering a split, but that's
about it as far as the interior goes.

All the glass is in good order. Both vent windows work as they should. There's a small crack (less than 3/8") in the left wing window.
The window tinting works and looks great.

The title is clean, but several years fees are due the California DMV-these will be taken care of before the car is turned over to the new owner
or their transport service.

Terms: A $500.00 deposit to PayPal from the winning bidder 48 hours after auction end. Full payment expected within 7 days time.
We do not have the resources or connections to arrange for shipment of the car, transport will be the responsibility of the winning bidder.

As I always encourage prospective bidders to do-please go over all the photos carefully, and PLEASE ask any questions you have before
bidding, thank you.

Next-gen Chevy Volt will get 1.5-liter, four-cylinder engine

Tue, Oct 28 2014

As General Motors gets ready to unveil the new Chevy Volt at the Detroit Auto Show in January, it's starting to reveal a few more details about the updated plug-in hybrid. Today should be fruitful on that front, thanks to an event GM is hosting today that focuses on the new Volt, and we've just had the first bit of new: a bigger engine is coming. Since the beginning, the Volt has used a 1.4-liter, four-cylinder engine as a range extender when the battery runs dry. The second-generation model will instead get a slightly larger 1.5-liter, four-cylinder engine that will be built in Flint, MI. That's a step up from the various engines that have been a part of the 2016 Volt's rumored mills, everything from a 1.0-liter or 1.2-liter three-cylinder to a 2.0-liter turbo. The confirmation about the new 1.5-liter powerplant was found in Automotive News, where we also heard again that GM is going to start building the new Volt's electric drive unit in Detroit, moving production up from Mexico. We will have more information on the 2016 Chevy Volt later today.

Honda, Chevy reveal low-drag speedway aero for Indy 500

Sun, May 3 2015

As the two automakers currently participating in the IndyCar Series, both Chevy and Honda were invited this year not only to provide engines to the teams on the starting grid, but to develop their own aerodynamics packages as well. Both revealed their designs for the road-course races a few months ago, but with the Indy 500 approaching at break-neck speed, they've now unleashed their aero approaches for speedways. Both are based on the Dallara DW12 chassis introduced to the series a couple of years ago, but sacrifice some of their downforce at the altar of speed. And you can tell as much from looking at them: both Honda (above) and Chevy (below) have streamlined their designs, with single-plane front wings, lower-profile rear wings and fewer winglets on the body and around the wheels in between. The idea is to allow the cars to reach higher top speeds with less drag, while offering the necessary amount of downforce for the banked turns. With the four opening road-course rounds complete, teams using either automaker's equipment will keep the existing aero kits on their cars for the Grand Prix of Indianapolis on the infield course next week, then switch to the speedway package for the Indianapolis 500 later this month. Then it'll be back and forth for the rest of the season as the circus switches between road courses and speedways. Honda Unveils 2015 IndyCar Super Speedway Aero Kit Apr 30, 2015 - SPEEDWAY, Indiana - To be used at the Indianapolis 500 - Manufacturer seeking 11th Indianapolis 500 victory since 2004 - First public running to take place Sunday at Indianapolis Honda today debuted the "Super Speedway" aero kit of aerodynamic upgrades and components its teams will use at this year's 99th running of the Indianapolis 500. The Honda Super Speedway Aero Kit, produced by Honda Performance Development, Honda's racing arm in North America, includes a variety of individual aerodynamic components fitted to the existing Honda-powered Dallara Indy car chassis. All are intended to give Honda's six Indy car teams – encompassing a potential 17 '500' entrants - the ability to maximize performance at the 2.5-mile Indianapolis Motor Speedway oval and other large ovals ( over one mile in length) on the 2015 Verizon IndyCar Series schedule. "We're excited to unveil our Super Speedway aero kit, the newest element in this era of enhanced manufacturer competition in the Verizon IndyCar Series," said Art St. Cyr, president of HPD.
