It breaks my heart to list my baby for sale - over 6yrs and $90K cash poured into this Impala.  I find it hard to know where to start the list of upgrades and inevitably I am going to forget something...  Here goes:


Full repaint Yellow over White LEATHER w/matching Yellow piping (not Vinyl boys and girls, tucked and rolled leather seats and panels) with matching new white top and new white carpet.  Completely wrapped frame; welded, ground and painted.  All new suspension components including, but not limited to, AirRide Technologies bags and compressors.  Custom suspension reworked, installed and calibrated by Ground Pounders Customs of Mentor OH - absolutely no expense spared.  20" Custom off-set, Intro Polished/Matte Aluminum Wheels w/Nitto Tires (less than 200 miles).  Completely overhauled 327; bored/stroked - professionally built and tested by Ken Matthews of Hutter Racing Engines, Chardon OH.  ALL new components, again nothing spared.  Built Turbo 350 Automatic Transmission w/4:10 Rear End.  Custom, dual yoke drive shaft.  Full Length, polished headers and complete polished custom exhaust.  Full March billet serpentine drive system complete with A/C (not hooked up).  Too much chrome and polished under-hood to detail...  Be Cool Polished radiator / overflow.  New updated steering rack w/ease power steering.  Total over the top, audio system installed by Auto Sound and Security and Brian Morris, Willoughby OH.  Custom gelcoat fiberglass trunk enclosure, floating amp rack (all new JL Audio Amps, Subs, Components, etc).  LED Lighting thru-out the trunk, engine bay an interior.  Custom CNC machined, billet component kick panels with floating billet tweeter pod - wrapped in white.  Custom gelcoat A-Pillar tweeter pod, hidden JL Audio custom stealth enclosure IN the rear seat (yes, actually in the rear seat cavity itself - installed to increase low frequency while driving).  Alpine Head Unit with dedicated iPod interface.  Custom Dakota Digital Gauge Cluster with Matching Dakota Digital PSI display for air suspension settings.  Custom Plexi/Billet floating battery tray w/matching Billet cover for the Optima Yellow Top.  All Top of the line interconnects and hard connections where used - no expense spared.

This car was originally built as a four speed and has since been converted to an auto - I have the clutch pedal assembly which will be included.  In addition, this car was also equipped with Factory A/C and Cruise Control (very rare).  I have the majority of the cruise components along with the original rear skirts (also all included, but not installed).  

This car has real presence.  It looks AMAZING and drives like a dream!  The air ride is fast.  For a huge beast, this baby moves.  The engine purrs smooth and the exhaust note is SICK.  When emptied out totally, this car literally is 1" off the ground (just touched the flanges on the headers!)  6 switches; Front/Back and Four Corners.  It draws MAJOR attention wherever it goes.  I have been approached by video producers, athlete agents, exotic auto brokers and the like.  I have never had the car listed for sale, it has never been in a video or shown at a car show - I am far too picky and protective to have ANYONE else touch it.  Frankly, I don't like people even looking at it.  It resides in my garage, under a cover 365 days a year.

Alas, I feel it is time for someone else to enjoy the fruits of my labor.  As I recently mentioned to a friend when he asked if I was going to take the car to Good Guys, "this car deserves to be with someone who will love it, drive it and show it - not keep it covered in the garage and hope no one looks at it".  That is the reason for listing it - I don't need to sell it for another car project nor am I interested in some fire sale or anyone contacting me help me sell it (I've got that covered).  Contact me if you are serious about a perfect, turn-key, american pop-culture icon like this one.  There is only one 64 Impala SS Drop Top.  No solicitors, dead beat 0 Feedback bidders or tire kickers - email is best - audiporscheman@yahoo.com or text 440.479.0019

I can arrange GLOBAL SHIPPING - but will spend no time on specifics until after the car is paid for (I have a good idea based on research for costs associated to the different areas of the globe).  Wire Transfer, Cash or Cashiers Check ONLY - No, you can't finance it and I probably am not interested in your trade so please don't ask.  I hold Clean OH title (TMU).

I must give props to my boy, Phil of Phil Snyder Photography for snapping the pics of the 6 this past fall - if you need more pictures please drop me a line, I'll be happy to help.

MotorWeek's 80's GM muscle coupe roundup includes Regal GN and Monte Carlo SS

Thu, Jan 29 2015

Even with just four brands in the family, General Motors still represents a performance powerhouse. Between the Chevrolet Corvette Z06, Camaro Z/28, Cadillac CTS-V and ATS-V, The General can still deliver plenty of thrills. The 1980s, though, saw the brand go even crazier with performance. While the Camaro and Corvette were still around back in the day, GM had a number of other interesting performance offerings. The Bowtie was complemented by the long-deceased Monte Carlo SS, while the now-defunct Pontiac and Oldsmobile offered the Grand Prix and thumping 442, respectively. And Buick, which isn't short on performance with its Regal GS and Verano Turbo, offered a much more serious vehicle, in the form of the Grand National (not to mention the Darth Vader-spec GNX). MotorWeek, in its hugely entertaining retro flashbacks, looks back on these three long-lost GM performance icons, and it's just as good as you might expect.

Buick takes top spot in 2022 J.D. Power Initial Quality Study

Tue, Jun 28 2022

People, economies, and supply chains weren't the only things continuing to get sick over the past year. The 2022 J.D. Power Initial Quality Study (IQS) is out, showing the average rate of problems per 100 vehicles (PP100) during the first 90 days of ownership increased overall. The average figure for the 32 ranked manufacturers in 2020 was about 166 problems per 100 vehicles. In the 2021 IQS, that dropped to an average of 162. This year, the average jumps to 180 problems. J.D. Power says that figure is a record high over the 36-year history of the study. Buick leapt to the top of the rankings this year with the fewest issues, at 139 problems per 100 vehicles in the first 100 days of ownership. After Dodge became the first American automaker to lead the IQS in 2020, followed by Ram in 2021, this year marks a three-peat for U.S. carmakers. Dodge took second this year at 143 PP100, Chevrolet third with 147 PP100, Genesis the first luxury maker on the chart in fourth with 156 PP100. Between February and May, this year's study gathered responses to 223 questions from more than 84,000 new 2022-model-year car owners and lessees. The questions are designed to zero in on real-world problems new owners encounter with nine categories of vehicle features: Infotainment; features, controls and displays; exterior; driving assistance; interior; powertrain; seats; driving experience; and climate. As has been the case in the past few year, infotainment has proved to be the most problematic bugbear making scores worse. Considering features individually, six of 10 of the worst problem areas dealt with infotainment, causing infotainment's score of 45 PP100 to be 19.5 PP100 worse than the second-placed feature. Consumers ranked getting Android Auto and Apple CarPlay to connect reliably as the most troublesome.  GM didn't just score with Buick, which was one of only nine of the 33 ranked brands to show improvement this year. The conglomerate earned first place with the fewest PP100 among all the automaker groups, and scored the most model-level awards with nine, ahead of BMW with eight and Hyundai Group with three.  This year's study again showed a gap between luxury and mass-market makers, thought to be down to the amount of tech in luxury vehicles that consumers aren't properly informed about or that doesn't act as expected — that latter issue exacerbated by the chip shortage.

Our favorite mid-engine Corvette theories and rumors

Tue, Sep 13 2016

The mid-engine Corvette! We just saw blurry photos through the foliage, and are hearts are all aflutter because it means that this car is real. And it's the most " never before" Corvette since 1984. Which leads us to all kinds of wacky theories and speculation. Everybody knows something or heard from a guy. None of those guys (or gals) from GM are talking to Autoblog, to be clear. But that won't stop us from stirring the pot. Let's go over a few point-by-point. The pushrod engine will be replaced by an overhead-cam V8 Car and Driver has repeatedly reported that an overhead-cam engine will come after the mid-engine Corvette's debut with an old-school pushrod. We've heard the same thing firsthand, albeit from a source with no connection to the development of the Corvette or powertrain. "At some point two valves can't pass future emissions regulations," said the guy we know. While the pushrod engine is compact, the design makes it difficult - if not impossible - for sophisticated variable valve timing (and lift) systems that control combustion with more precision. Hasty conclusion: The pushrod engine has a finite life in front of it. This one's a lock, it's a just a matter of when. Bowling Green's new paint shop is really the mid-engine assembly line Credit to Reddit for this one. Like we said, everybody knows a guy. But let's look deeper. The new paint facility costs $439 million dollars and adds 450,000 square feet, almost half the size of the existing plant. Plus GM announced another $290 million in upgrades at Bowling Green Assembly. That sure sounds like a lot of money, but you can actually spend that much on a paint booth. Porsche spent 500 million Euros (about $561 million dollars) to add the Macan assembly to its Leipzig, Germany plant in 2014. Chrysler shelled out $850 million for a paint shop in Sterling Heights, Michigan. GM spent $600 million for a new paint shop at the Fairfax (Kansas City) plant. Honda, on the other hand, is working on a thrifty $210 million project in Marysville, Ohio that includes a 300,000 square foot expansion, and the low-volume Acura NSX facility only cost $70 million. Hasty conclusion: The square footage and cost could easily mean a new assembly line instead of (or in addition to) a paint line. And if the NSX plant was really that cheap, GM could have hidden a similar sum in its existing announcements.
