1964 Chevy Impala Convertible 4 Speed Factory Tach Bench Seat on 2040-cars
Butte, Montana, United States
1964 Chevy Impala Convertible . Out of 30 + year storage. This car is a factory 4 speed 327 300 horsepower with tach. No power steering or brakes, all business. It does have a power top which works well.The body and interior have never been touched. This car was owned by an elderly gentleman who owned the car since it was almost new, The engine was getting tired at 105000 miles so he started to remove engine for a rebuild but never got it done. He past away several years ago and I bought the car from his estate.I removed the 327 and installed a 350 in it just so I could move the car around . The 327 looks like it has never been apart. It has the camel hump heads and big Carter carb.It also has 2.5 inch exhaust manifolds and the factory exhaust is still all in place and is quiet. The Muncie 4 speed is very quiet and the factory shifter with reverse lockout works good.The body still has the original maroon paint. It has rust in the lower front fenders where they all seem to.The wheelwells have just a little rust starting to show. The rockers look solid. The underside of the car is factory undercoated and looks good.The car has a dent in the left quarter panel and the trim is missing on the right lower quarter panel. The garage he stored the car in had a narrow door and it looked like he scraped it. The side glass is nice for its age and so are the frames. They all roll up and down nice and are tight.The windshield is cracked. I drove the car 500 miles last summer it is very tight Quiet, and smooth. It drives good .I have a new white top for the car also. This would be a good candidate for an original numbers matching restoration. Or drive it the way it is the patina look is in style now.Please call if you have questions.I have too many cars and need to sell a few. Hate to see them go but I would have to live to 100 to get them all done. Thanks Bob D 406 565 1587
On Jun-07-14 at 21:15:16 PDT, seller added the following information: I will install original 327 back in the car if it helps with shipping, It is complete and still runs but does need rebuilt. I plan on adding pictures of the underside of car soon. Thanks |

Do you guys like trucks?
Wed, Jan 17 2018Do you guys like trucks? If the answer is yes, boy do we have the show for you! The 2018 North American International Auto Show is lousy with 'em. Yeah, we saw the new Ram 1500, Chevy Silverado and Ford Ranger, but that's just scratching the surface. There are big trucks, little trucks, clean trucks, dirty trucks, old trucks, new trucks, red trucks, blue trucks. It's like a Dr. Seuss book. Anyway, we made a little video for you truck nuts (see what I did there?). Check it out above, and if you're looking for more serious coverage of the Detroit Auto Show, we've got it, along with a ton of images and other videos from the show floor. Enjoy!

Bring back the Bronco! Trademarks we hope are actually (someday) future car names
Tue, Mar 17 2015Trademark filings are the tea leaves of the auto industry. Read them carefully – and interpret them correctly – and you might be previewing an automaker's future product plans. Yes, they're routinely filed to maintain the rights to an iconic name. And sometimes they're only for toys and clothing. But not always. Sometimes, the truth is right in front of us. The trademark is required because a company actually wants to use the name on a new car. With that in mind, here's a list of intriguing trademark filings we want to see go from paperwork to production reality. Trademark: Bronco Company: Ford Previous Use: The Bronco was a long-running SUV that lived from 1966-1996. It's one of America's original SUVs and was responsible for the increased popularity of the segment. Still, it's best known as O.J. Simpson's would-be getaway car. We think: The Bronco was an icon. Everyone seems to want a Wrangler-fighter – Ford used to have a good one. Enough time has passed that the O.J. police chase isn't the immediate image conjured by the Bronco anymore. Even if we're doing a wish list in no particular order, the Bronco still finds its way to the top. For now (unfortunately), it's just federal paperwork. Rumors on this one can get especially heated. The official word from a Ford spokesman is: "Companies renew trademark filings to maintain ownership and control of the mark, even if it is not currently used. Ford values the iconic Bronco name and history." Trademarks: Aviator, AV8R Company: Ford Previous Use: The Aviator was one of the shortest-run Lincolns ever, lasting for the 2003-2005 model years. It never found the sales success of the Ford Explorer, with which it shared a platform. We Think: The Aviator name no longer fits with Lincoln's naming nomenclature. Too bad, it's better than any other name Lincoln currently uses, save for its former big brother, the Navigator. Perhaps we're barking up the wrong tree, though. Ford has made several customized, aviation themed-Mustangs in the past, including one called the Mustang AV8R in 2008, which had cues from the US Air Force's F-22 Raptor fighter jet. It sold for $500,000 at auction, and the glass roof – which is reminiscent of a fighter jet cockpit – helped Ford popularize the feature. Trademark: EcoBeast Company: Ford Previous Use: None by major carmakers.
Former Fisker CEO has some advice for Tesla Motors
Wed, Oct 22 2014Former Fisker Automotive CEO and ex-Chevrolet Volt vehicle-line director Tony Posawatz has some words of caution for Tesla Motors. The long-time automaker executive questions the California automaker's long-term viability – and gives some praise – in a talk with Benzinga, which you can listen to below. While the all-wheel-drive D that Tesla unveiled earlier this month in Southern California wowed a packed crowd, Posawatz (starting at around minute 4:45 in the interview) says Tesla would've been better off taking the resources it expended toward that Model S upgrade and directed them towards speeding up the development of a more affordable plug-in. Perhaps a number of investors agreed, since the company's stock fell the day after the D was announced. Posawatz says Tesla has been over-reliant on the sale of ZEV credits. Posawatz also says that Tesla has been over-reliant on the sale of zero-emissions vehicle credits in California for its earnings and questions whether the automaker will ever work at a large enough scale to sufficiently drive down costs and make consistent profits. Tesla CEO Elon Musk would take issue with this characterization. Posawatz first made his mark in the plug-in vehicle world when he was the vehicle-line director at General Motors for the Volt extended-range plug-in from 2006 to 2012. Later that year, he joined extended-range plug-in maker Fisker Automotive as its CEO, though quit that job during the summer of 2013 as the company was descending into insolvency. He joined the Electrification Coalition this past March. News Source: Benzinga Green Chevrolet Fisker Tesla Electric PHEV Tony Posawatz
