1963 Impala Ss 409 4 Speed on 2040-cars
New City, New York, United States
|
This is a 1963 impala SS (real) 409 (not matching) with a 4 speed transmission. The rear differential is a 3.08 non posi. I bought this car 10 years ago from a dealership in Texas. I bought the car in this condition. The car is in very good condition, has been garaged ever since, and very little miles added over the last 10 years. There are no known mechanical issues, I have changed mostly everything mechanical. What I did to the car: 1. Swapped out a 283 engine which was not original, to a newly rebuilt 409 engine which I bought from a mechanic in Michigan who had the engine in storage for over 25 years then decided to rebuild it and put it up for sale in 2008. I bought in May of 2008. 2. New 4 core radiator aluminum, new belts, hoses and pulleys. 3. Borgeson power steering box, pump, bracket. 4. 1 inch front sway bar 5. New tie rod ends, center link 6. 4 new heavy duty springs, 4 QA-1 shocks 7. 16 centerline wheels with BFG tires 235/60 8. Edelbrock Carburetor 9. MSD ignition wired to points distributor, new msd coil + plug wires 10. New battery 11. New rear lower control arms global west 12. New Y shaped headers with flow master exhaust 40 series 13. I did it collapsible steering column with an aftermarket steering wheel 14. All new engine bay ground wires and all new POS engine bay wires. 15. Powermaster 100AMP alternator 16. New Fuel pump 17. New Starter 18. New all 4 drum brakes these brakes are big, car stops very well! 19. Car has been thoroughly inspected (4/2014) at a well know local mechanic who works on classic cars. They did the safety inspection sticker, wheel alignment, exhaust, new rear differential gasket + new fluid, fixed some small odds and ends new cotter pins, rewired a few things in the engine bay etc. Any issues? 1. I needed to put in a junction box under the dash for the POS lead from the battery to the fuse box and for other POS leads. This factory sodder was bad and I cannot sodder so I used a junction box to pull all of the leads together. 2. The front brace of the front seat on drivers and passenger side needs replacing. The rear brace of the front seats are intact as well as the rear seat brace. I bought the 2 braces for each side about 2 feet in length for each side. Ran out of time and money to fix this, I got estimates between 1200-1500 dollars, I would think if I shopped around more I could get a better deal. This was identified when the car was inspected on 4/14. 3. I never hooked up the lights for the gauge cluster and for the tach white leads. I am a car guy and I love working on them, I can tell you anything you want to know about the car since Ive owned it, I have nothing to hide, please email me at frank1966@optonline.net or call my cell at 914 263 8370 and leave a message and I will return your call. I do prefer email communication for quicker responses. I have explained the car in the most detail as I can, car is for sale as is with no warranty. |

New Bright creating exclusive 1:8 scale radio-controlled C7 Corvette
Mon, 04 Feb 2013If you want a new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette but can't quite save up enough pennies for the monthly payment, we have good news for you. Toymaker New Bright has pulled the covers off of its 1:8 scale remote-controlled version of the American sports car. Complete with a very detailed interior and LED headlights, this large-scale R/C is as close as most of us will ever come to having one of the menacing Chevrolet models to call our very own. New Bright still hasn't released pricing or availability, but word has it the coupe should hit the market soon.
Right now, it appears as if the C7 will hit shelves in Torch Red, though we don't know if other colors are planned as well. The good news is that New Bright isn't exactly turning its back on the old C6 - representatives say the company will continue to make its popular C6R racecar for those who prefer round taillights.
Hot air balloons caught in high winds drag fullsize SUV
Mon, Jul 20 2015A sudden storm front whipped up enough wind to send some hot air balloons flying into the air in Wisconsin over the weekend. One ballon proved so energetic that it was able to drag a fullsize SUV across a field and into a stand of tents. The freak accident occurred at Balloonfest in Waterford, Wisconsin. Spectators were horrified as balloons dragged handlers to the ground and launched with terrified pilots clinging to their baskets. Organizers had started packing up the colorful balloons due to ominous storm clouds when the wind kicked up. "Happened just like that; it was crazy," Nathan Fricke, crew member, told Fox 6. Winds were clocked at 40 to 50 miles per hour. A balloon caught in the wind dragged a large SUV (we think a Suburban or Yukon XL) hundreds of feet and into a cluster of tents on the edge of the staging area where balloons were on display for festival goers. Considering that the SUV surely weighs well over 5,000 pounds, it's lucky that no one was injured in the incident. News Source: Fox6Now Weird Car News Chevrolet GM GMC SUV
C7 Corvette makes inaugural ad appearance in Chevy's first spot with new slogan
Mon, 11 Feb 2013Chevrolet's "Runs Deep" tagline has finally been run into the ground, replaced with the Bowtie brand's "Find New Roads" slogan that's part of parent General Motors' plan to unify its everyday brand's marketing efforts worldwide. The new Chevrolet campaign was ushered in on prime time last night during the Grammy Awards on CBS, and the first spot, a 90-second full-line ad, also marks the first appearance of the 2014 Corvette Stingray in a commercial.
Being a full-line ad, the commercial is composed of vignettes centered on different vehicles in the brand's lineup. The all-new 2014 Impala also makes its first commercial appearance in dapper fashion, and time is spent on a skateboarding Sonic and a bouquet of brightly colored Spark hatchbacks driven by fashionable women. The ad starts and ends with Chevy's green halo car, the Volt, along with a young girl with her robotic dog (yes, really).
Chevrolet's "Runs Deep" campaign got off to a rocky start in the fall of 2010, but it did last for a couple of years with some tweaks. This new one, "Find New Roads" seems more intent on drawing new customers into the fold than the outgoing tagline, which seemed to play more toward the brand faithful. It admittedly reminds us more than a little the short-lived "Find Your Own Road" Saab motto (which, we note, was conceived while the Swedish brand was under GM's control), but no matter, we still think it's got more long-term potential than "Runs Deep."
