OK I am going to try to be as descriptive as possible but no doubt will forget some things so please call me if you have specific questions......8O4-337-2998
Here is a link to the value of my car through NADA(you may have to copy and paste in your browser?):
1) Note: my reserve is considerably less than the low retail!!!!
2) Note: In the picture where I am showing the paint chip on top the left front fender at the top leading edge of the door it looks like it has 2 scratches on the door they are only a reflection from the bumper of the vehicle parked next to it.
Now that we got that out of the way.....This is a 64 Chevy Impala SS with a 2 speed power glide trans. and only 57,xxx miles, It looks to have been repainted once and this is factory color for the car. The white "scallops" if you will, are painted on...not by me...but the paint/body over all is very nice with only minor issues(pictured) by best judgment the paint work is about 10-15 years old but well kept, I did put a magnet on the car especially in the low(normal problem areas) when I got it and found no evidence of mud. It is a very nice driver that needs some basic maintenance, easy and cheap stuff(weekend warrior kinda basics) due to sitting (in a garage) for a few years. The interior is all fresh and all white except for carpet which is black and new as well, It has a new black plastic Dash cap on it that needs to be finished installing(easy). The original SS center console(I have it all) and shifter was removed when previous owner installed a steering column (for the tilt wheel) all of the factory mounting hardware has NOT been removed(thankfully) from the floor, so it will be easy to re-install!! It has 2 sets of wheels and tires that come with it, the ones currently on the car are 63 ralleys (14 inch) with factory SS hub caps installed instead of center caps and rings, 2nd I have the original wheels with good tires mounted on them but tires are kinda ugly. The last 2 pictures are of the car with the original wheels/tires (same hub caps shown with both sets)
Known issues and explaination to the best of my knowledge::
*The lower grill trim needs to be replaced and there is slight damage at the mounting area that needs to be straightened out a little to install the new molding (I have a brand new molding that comes with it)
*When the door panels were redone, they did not put the "SS" emblems back on (I have 2 brand new ones that come with it)
*When the headliner was replaced the rear pillar dome lights were not re-installed and missing the "domes" that cover the bulb (I have 2 new ones that go with it) and the actual light fixtures need to be installed first
*There was no dash cover when I got it but I have a new plastic dash cap that needs to be finish installed
*The sunvisors and hardware are missing - don't have these
*The dash lights are inoperative - have not investigated - don't know - sorry
*The windshield is cracked - needs to be replaced
*The rear wheel cylinders are leaking a little
*Runs great and pulls strong but the carb is a 2 barrel and I believe could stand to be tweaked and maybe rebuilt
*There are a few minor little rust spots(pictured)
*Still has the factory radio but it is inoperable and sorry but have not investigated the problem - don't know
You can drive this car home if you so choose to do so!! The only thing needed to be done to drive home is the original wheels/tires will need to be installed on the front as the 63 wheels that are on it now came from a power steering car and were slightly rubbing the tie rod ends so we used 1/4 inch spacers to correct this however the lug nuts wont thread up far enough for me feel "safe" driving it for too long so longer studs will need to be installed in the front to run these wheels/tires, this issue does NOT exist on the rear wheels/tires.
I AM HAPPY TO SHOW IT TO ANYBODY INTERESTED AND WITHIN DRIVING DISTANCE TO PLEASE COME TAKE A LOOK AT IT BEFORE THE AUCTION ENDS!!! THANKS!!!
I am very easy to get along with and happy to help any way I can, I just want to re-iterate that I am happy for serious buyers to call me with questions or concerns or additional picture requests if you want to see something a little better or closer, Thanks!!!

Top Gear names BMW i8 Car of the Year, Corvette, Ferrari, Mercedes also win big
Fri, Dec 5 2014The lads at Top Gear have released their listing of the finest cars of the past year, handing the ultimate honor to BMW's revolutionary i8 plug-in-hybrid supercar. "The i8 is a milestone in the annals of automotive history and a glorious statement for an exciting and positive future. The i8 delivers - and then some," the British mag wrote. The i8, though, was far from the only hybridized car to take victories. James May and Richard Hammond both highlighted hybrids as their personal cars of the year, with May saluting the Ferrari LaFerrari and the Hamster, unsurprisingly, heaping praise on the Porsche 918 Spyder. Jeremy Clarkson, meanwhile, opted to shock many by selecting not only an American car as his best of 2014, but giving the honor to of all things, a Corvette. Clarkson wasn't the only person to honor the USA's iconic sports car, with the new, 650-horsepower Z06 variant being named TG's Muscle Car of the Year. Other big winners include Mercedes-Benz, which TG honored for S-Class Coupe (Luxury Car of the Year), the new AMG GT (Sports Car of the Year) and the not-for-US C-Class Estate (Family Car of the Year). The 458 Italia Speciale A snagged a second win for Ferrari. The best of the rest include the Citroen C4 Cactus, Renault Twingo, Volkswagen Golf R, Lamborghini Huracan and Audi TT. Take a look below for the celebratory press blast from BMW. The BMW i8 wins Top Gear Car of the Year The BMW i8 has been named as Top Gear magazine's global Car of the Year 2014. The plug-in hybrid performance vehicle beat off some stiff competition from a host of other premium and luxury manufacturers to win the overall award. The editorial team of Top Gear commended the BMW i8 for its breadth of abilities. Its 1.5-litre three-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine combined with an electric motor gives searing acceleration and driver enjoyment but all wrapped in a package that takes BMW's EfficientDynamics philosophy to the extreme courtesy of CO2 emissions less than 49g/km and a 135mpg combined cycle figure. Charlie Turner, Editor in Chief at Top Gear magazine, said: "The BMW is a milestone in the annals of automotive history and a glorious statement for an exciting and positive future. The i8 delivers – and then some. It's the kind of car we should celebrate, a beautiful vision of the future, delivered now.
GM reintroduces Tripower name in the worst way possible
Wed, Aug 1 2018The story of General Motors' use of the Tripower moniker begins way back in 1957, when Semon E. "Bunkie" Knudsen, then General Manager of GM's Pontiac division, directed his engineers to inject more performance into his brand's line of V8-powered automobiles. Fuel injection was an option, but hot rodders flocked instead to Tri-Power (marketed way back when with a hyphen), which grafted a trio of two-barrel Rochester carburetors onto a single intake manifold. A legend was born. And that legend was born of performance. At idle and when full power wasn't required, Pontiac's Tri-Power system used just the middle carburetor, which helped make the setup easier to tune. Depending on the year and model, either a vacuum system or a mechanical linkage opened up the two outer carbs, thereby switching from two barrels to six, and allowing the engine to take in more fuel and air. And it was an easy marketing win – six barrels is better than four barrels, right? Because performance! So, when news filtered in that GM has resurrected the Tripower name, those of us who grew up attending classic car shows and wrenching on old Pontiacs did a double-take. And then we all collectively sighed. Turns out that today's Tripower refers to a trio of fuel-saving measures that include cylinder deactivation, active thermal management, and intake valve lift control, according to Automotive News. And, at least for now, it applies to GM's line of fullsize trucks powered by a 2.7-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. We're all for saving fuel whenever possible. And we have zero say in how any automaker chooses to market its products and technologies. But, we'll offer our two cents anyway: Relaunching a storied name from the past is fine. Relaunching a storied name from the past while completely overlooking the reasons the name got famous in the first place is only going to irritate the people who remember the name in the first place. Couldn't they just call this new technology package something else?

2016 Chevy Volt sneak peek at CES
Mon, Jan 5 2015Here it is, folks – your first real glimpse at the 2016 Chevrolet Volt. The gasoline-electric sedan will officially debut at the Detroit Auto Show next week, but Chevy gave us a sneak peek of its redesigned Volt at a media event in Las Vegas late Sunday, as part of its CES festivities. There isn't a ton to see here, and sorry about the low quality video (and for us not standing front and center during the reveal). But we can clearly see the car's redesigned front fascia – something recently previewed at a fan event in Los Angeles. For another view, check out a high-res photo of the new Volt from our friends at The Verge, here. Chevy even tweeted a photo of the Volt's new nose on its official Volt Twitter account, which you can see below. The automaker didn't divulge any details about its new Volt, but we already know quite a bit. For starters, the Volt will use a new, 1.5-liter gasoline engine and won't require premium fuel. It'll have more EV range and a bigger battery, too. We'll have a whole mess of information when the 2016 Volt is fully revealed in Detroit in about one week's time. In the meantime, here are some more looks at the Volt, courtesy of the Twitterverse. We're so excited about #NextGenVolt we brought it out early at #CES2015!
