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.

GM says hybrid Corvette no laughing matter [w/poll]

Fri, 30 Aug 2013

When Mark Reuss was in LA recently, he sat down to have a few words with the scribes at the Los Angeles Times. When the issue of a hybrid Corvette came up, Reuss answered with "Don't laugh." The General Motors president is a complete fan of the possibility, calling it "attractive" and "really fun," believing it would improve GM expertise and that "people would love it."
Naturally, the president being supportive of an idea doesn't give indication that a hybrid Corvette is on the way. However, with supercars like the Porsche 918 Spyder and Ferrari LaFerrari giving hybrid tech a solid, if remote, place in the performance car world, the inexorable trickle-down of technology means we shouldn't be surprised if and when it does happen.
And now that we have that non-negative half-answer to a speculative question, it would be irresponsible for us not to commence rumormilling for the C8 Corvette. Taking Reuss at his word, the C8 will obviously be a hybrid with all-wheel-drive - the left side wheels driven with electric motors, the right side with the mid-mounted, four-cylinder diesel engine. With coefficient of drag of just .16, figure on a 0-to-60 mile-per-hour time of under 2 seconds and an all-electric range of something like 30 miles at top speed. Don't forget, folks, you read it here first.

Weekly Recap: Electric Rapide concept showcases Aston's future

Sat, Oct 24 2015

Aston Martin showed off an all-electric Rapide S prototype this week and announced an agreement with investment firm ChinaEquity to explore development of a production version of the sports sedan. The car could arrive in about two years if the project advances, and it would be built in Gaydon, England. The concept car, called the "RapidE" was developed with Williams Advanced Engineering. The electric Rapide is meant to highlight British innovation, and it was revealed during a state visit by Chinese president Xi Jinping to the United Kingdom. Spec were not available for the concept on display. "The car we showed in London is a fully running concept but not yet defining [of] our choice of battery, motor, inverter, etc," spokesman Simon Sproule said. "Now that we have a clearer path for producing the car, we will be defining all the parameters." Aston Martin has been vocal about its electric ambitions this year, and Sproule told us at the New York Auto Show that an all-electric Rapide could cost $200,000 to $250,000 or more. "It's a study, but we're serious about it," he said. Some reports have indicated the electric Rapide could pack as much as 1,000 horsepower. Aston considers electric technology the strongest play for modernizing its powertrains and meeting emissions standards around the world. Hybrids and all-electric models can offer high outputs and strong torque delivery, which is in keeping with the Aston's image as a sportscar maker. Company brass prefer this option over dropping down to four-cylinder engines. And yes, V8s and V12s remain part of the plan. The electric push is part of Aston's future strategy to remake its lineup, which includes refreshing its sportscars, building a production version of the electric all-wheel-drive DBX concept shown at the Geneva Motor Show, and adding a four-door Lagonda. OTHER NEWS & NOTES Domino's serves up purpose-built delivery car Domino's revealed a purpose-built pizza delivery car based on the Chevy Spark. It's called the DXP, for Delivery Expert, and it can handle up to 80 pizzas. The pies stay warm thanks to an oven located behind the driver's seat, and the DXP is sauced up with a puddle-lighting feature that projects the Domino's logo outside of the car. Power comes from the Spark's stock 1.2-liter four-cylinder engine rated at 84 hp that gets up to 39 mpg on the highway. Chevy dealers will be trained to service the DXP.

Is this '47 Chevrolet a rat rod or a sports car?

Sun, May 22 2016

These days there are plenty of vehicles that blur the conventional automotive class structures. For instance, was the Honda Crosstour a wagon or an SUV? And what exactly was the Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet? Regardless, those line-blurring cars (or trucks) are out there, and though this one didn't roll off a production line, it's still quite the automotive head-scratcher. Hailing from Missouri, this epic creation is one part mad science experiment, one part 1947 Chevrolet pickup, and one part '95 Mercury Cougar. Add it all up and you get an awesome truck-sports-car hybrid, complete with an outrageous wing and a V8 to boot. And interestingly enough, it's up for sale . RELATED: Check out this Wild-Styled Lamborghini Rat Rod So how does it all come together? According to the listing, the Chevrolet truck cab (which had previously been chopped) was sanded down to bare metal and given a thorough shellacking of clear coat. It was then melded together with the front end of a 1995 Chevrolet S10 pickup truck, and set low to the ground on Bilstein suspension drop spindles. Stance achieved. But instead of fielding an engine from either of those pickups, it pulls its heart from a 2005 Chevrolet Tahoe SUV—a big 5.3-liter V8 heart, that is. It comes backed-up to a GM Turbo 400 automatic transmission. Towards the rear however is where things get really interesting. A Copper Pearl coated tube frame chassis both attaches the rear independent suspension (a la Mercury Cougar) to the racy spoiler, as well as secures the rat rod's rear-mounted radiator, fan, and fuel tank. I'm not quite sure why, but it just looks glorious. RELATED: Reports Say Mid-Engine Corvette Will Arrive in 2018 Inside the vintage cab, the Chevrolet furthers its racing proclivities (it's said to have won burnout and auto-cross events) with a pair of harnessed racing seats, a drift brake, a detachable steering wheel, and a tachometer with oil and temperature gauges, but oddly no speedometer. The shifter is a crescent wrench. And its shift boot? That's a Crown Royal Purple bag. All in all, this grin-worthy Frankenstein creation tallies up bits and pieces from four different vehicles (five if you include the Camaro wheels), which make it truly a mash-up of epic proportions.
