Parents have had this vehicle for over ten years, and what was once a project car is now too much to do for them now.  Unfortunately, I live too far to help with the restoration and for them it's time to let it go.


Odometer says 10469.  But do not know if that is 110469 or 210469.  I'll have to review the clear title again to confirm.

Have a 1964 Impala Hardtop Coupe, 2-door.  It has a crate motor 327, so it is not the original I have been told.  Had the car looked over briefly and was told that the dipstick on original Chevy engines in that era were on the driver's side, so I can only assume it is a crate motor.  We were unable to find block ID numbers on it, but did find the firing order cast in the intake.  I don't know much about all the identifying features of cars from that era (or any era), so doing my best to supply as much info and pics as I can.  

Transmission is a 2-speed automatic (I say 2 because only D-L on steering column indicator).  Is it a Powerglide, don't know.  Didn't get under the car to check it out, and again, living so far away, not able to do much with checking that out.  My understanding is that they were pretty populat during that time, so it's a toss up whether it has one or not.  Unfortunately, can't really check on that right now and the folks sure wouldn't be able to determine that.

Interior appears to have been re-upolstered when the car was purchased.  Both the front and back seats were covered in a vinyl covering.  I removed the front seat covers, and left the back on, so that you could see the product.  If you want to put that back on, it's in the ample trunk.  Seats look good, and underneath appears to be the original springs.  Don't have a lot of history on the car, but think Dad bought it for the nostalgic value, he had a '64 convertible in a similar color in his heyday.  And looks like the replacement carpet was just laid on top of the original, as there is another layer of carpet underneath.  

Ignition and locks were replaced with a newer set, as well as the lock to the trunk and glovebox (which does not latch).  It will need some electrical work as I could not get all the interior lights to come on when opening the doors (or to stay on).  No A/C, and the heater core was bypassed.  I plugged it back in and ran the car and got some leaking, so bypassing it again.  I did not check under the carpet to see if there was any rust damage.

Exterior color is not original.  Supposed to be Ermine White, but the repainted color caught Dad's eyes.  It will need another coat, some holidays visible, but the car appears pretty straight given its age.  I unfortunately did not get any pics from under the car, but I did see some bubbling on the driver's side front and rear panels, pics below, indicating some small rust areas.  Again, the body is pretty straight overall.  The molding was removed prior to buying the vehicle and given to us loosely.  It's in bad shape and missing the clips/retaining nuts.  The old trim will be included with the auction purchase.  There is also some trim work missing around the headlights, both the light itself and on the front quarter panels around the front grill.  The passenger side mirror and gasket (?) are also missing.

Appears the vehicle was in an accident and the front passenger panel was replaced, hence the missing front trim work and tweaked bumper.  I also noticed that the passenger fender well was damaged some, but still installed.

Mechanically, it's almost 50 years old.  But it runs.  Front brake hardware was replaced this year with over-the-counter parts from local auto parts store.  Some parts ordered online, as they are harder to come by.  Car runs a little rough, but running on tank gas (fuel gauge off, reads full with 2 gallons).  Drive it around the shop to keep the juices flowing, and it will need some work.  Non-original carburetor part of crate motor's lifeline.  But it does run, shift, brake.  Car does not have current tags or inspection sticker.  Windshield motor works, but not pumping water/fluid.  The wipers move in full range, but cannot get motor to prime.  Wheels are original type with decorative ring.  Tires are so-so, but not sure on how old they are, but guess they are the same ones purchased over ten years ago.

All the glass is in good shape.  There is some old tint on the rear windows that will have to be removed for full restoration.  Of course, I did not get enough pictures to show every detail of the car.  Sure someone will want some additional photos, but unfortunately, won't be able to get them until later this summer when I go back to visit.  If there are several interested in purchasing, can make arrangements to have a day to show the car in the Arlington, Texas area.  It will take a little scheduling on my part as I do not work a regular job, so time off is sometimes difficult. 

The kicker:  pay the Buy-It-Now price and we'll order all the side molding trim work for this vehicle (some 14 pieces) of reproduction quality and the retaining hardware.  We'll also order a pair of front fender emblems (V-flagged for 327), the "Impala" letters (2 sets for rear panels), and a pair of Impala logos for the rear panels, all for the 1964 Impalas.  The Buy-It-Now price will also include a reproduction heater core.  I really don't want to get under that and replace it.  I promise that these parts will be from reputable companies and new reproduction replacement parts.

But feel free to ask any questions, I'll do my best to answer.  Of course, there is no warranty or guarantees with this vehicle and new owners will be responsible for taxes, registration, and any fees outside of eBay.  Thanks for looking.

Outrageous Thor24 semi truck to appear in the new season of 'Jay Leno's Garage'

Tue, Apr 28 2020

Wednesday is Jay Leno's birthday, and CNBC used the occasion to announce the upcoming season of Jay Leno's Garage. In a new teaser video, Leno is seen with a stacked list of guests, some new, some repeats, as well as a wild gamut of vehicles, including the absolutely insane 24-cylinder, 3,424-horsepower Thor24.  The outrageous semi build, which sold at auction in Saudi Arabia earlier this year for a whopping $12 million (or $1 million per supercharger) will join the likes of the Tesla Cybertruck and a recliner on wheels on the upcoming season of Jay's series.  Thor24 View 24 Photos The formula for Jay Leno's Garage is simple, successful, and not changing anytime soon. He brings out a bunch of famous people, some of which are real enthusiasts, others who have more casual driving backgrounds, and they experience a vehicle together. In the short clip released by CNBC, Leno is accompanied by Elon Musk (again), Danny Trejo, Bill Burr, Tim Allen, Jon Hamm, Brad Garrett, Jeff Dunham, Kelly Clarkson, Matt LeBlanc, Blake Shelton, Norm MacDonald, Edd China, and Jon Lovitz.           View this post on Instagram                   Thank you for sharing your dream with us. Happy Birthday, Jay! Love always, your @cnbcprime Family. A post shared by Jay Leno's Garage (@jaylenosgarage) on Apr 28, 2020 at 8:27am PDT The people, however, are merely social lubricants to spotlight the real stars of the show, the cars. This season will include the Tesla Cybertruck, the record-breaking Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+, a 1965 Buick Riviera, a naked cat car, an Aston Martin DBS Superleggera, a Porsche Taycan, a modern Ford GT, a Chevrolet Corvette C8 hard-top convertible, amphicars, a snail car, a beetle car, a couch car, and the 24-cylinder, 12-supercharger, 3,424-horsepower Thor24 semi. Just to name a few. As usual, there will be racing, stunts, spinouts, smoke from both tires and engines, and lots of silly dad jokes. Season 5 of Jay Leno's Garage debuts on CNBC on May 20 at 10 p.m. ET.

Recharge Wrap-up: BMW cars to share i tech, Jordan to build solar EV charging network

Wed, Jan 14 2015

Jordan is looking to promote EVs and build a solar charging network. The country is waiving import tariffs on electric cars, and is spending $120 million on solar chargers. It plans to build 3,000 charging stations, along with 30 MW of solar power. Some chargers will be powered by solar canopies, while others will get electricity from nearby solar farms. Jordan's solar plan should also help to lessen the amount of energy it needs to import from nearby countries. Read more from Navigant Research, or at Green Car Reports. BMW's mainstream cars will benefit from technology borrowed from the i3 and i8, according to BMW sales head Ian Robertson. In an interview with Automotive News, Robertson said that next-generation cars will use carbon fiber more extensively, and that more cars will get plug-in technology. He said that about half of i3 buyers opt for the range extender and added that it is incorrect to refer to a range-extended electric vehicle as a plug-in hybrid. Read more at Automotive News. The ethanol market should remain healthy despite falling oil prices. While cheap oil could drive down ethanol prices, demand still remains due to the federal biofuels standard. Additionally, ethanol producers may find it cheaper to ship their products as domestic oil production drops and railroad shipping opens up. Ethanol byproducts like distillers grains continue to sell, and foreign demand continues as other countries impose their own renewable fuel standards. Read more at Yahoo News. Via Motors will launch the production of an electric Chevrolet Silverado. The company will convert the pickups into range-extended EVs at its assembly line in Mexico, near GM's Silverado plant. Via has the capacity to produce 10,000 vehicles per year at its Mexico facility. Via Motors Chairman (and former GM Vice Chairman during the early days of the Chevrolet Volt project) Bob Lutz wants to help make EVs mainstream in America, and believes that requires electrifying pickups and SUVs.

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.
