If you are looking for a 1965 Impala to take to work on a Friday or go to the corner store with, this car is not for you. However, if you are a discerning individual who appreciates a highly detailed original car with excellent pedigree and ostensibly a "new" 1965, this car is for you.
Let's start with the basics...a real Ralley Red 1965 Impala SS 16667 VIN car with a very early build date.
A fantastic unit with original quarter panels and floor pans. The car retains it's 327/300hp powerplant which was rebuilt about 1500 miles ago. The powerglide transmission and 3.08 Positraction rear end were also extensively overhauled at that time. The 327 fires to life instantly and calms down to a nice, quiet idle almost instantaneously. The powerglide pops right into gear, and the brakes stop straight and true with no pulling or pulsating in the pedal. All wittek type tower clamps are used in the cooling system, along with correct GM marked PN correct radiator hoses. I also noticed the use of original type "ribbed" heater hoses.
Cosmetically, the car is fantastic. The car has one repaint in code RR "Ralley Red". The car is arrow straight and the paint is of the PPG 2 stage variety. I can't find appreciable flaw in the paint. I see no signs of rust repair on the fenders or quarter panels, I used a reverse mirror and a flashlight and could see no evidence of any repairs.
The interior retains all it's fantastic original pieces, sans the carpet, which candidly is just too fresh to be of concurrent vintage of the vehicle. All lights, signals, ect. appear to work as they were designed. The radio, for whatever reason, is inoperable. The engine bay and trunk are both highly detailed as is the underside of the car. Moreover, all factory paint daubs and inspection markings have been faithfully reproduced. The convertible top is power, and is white. The top has excellent fitment and has no visible flaws or evidence of age or wear. The rear window is plastic and is stowed down with a towel in the fold of the top, to mitigate any wear in the rear window. Good thinking! I've washed the car myself and purposely sprayed water at all typical leak locations around the top frame and the tops of the windows to see if any water would get in, which would be typical of a Chevy of this vintage, however...the car is water tight.
The car only deviates from it's as delivered condition insofar as the exhaust has been converted to headers and a nice 2.5" flowmaster exhaust, and the distributor has been swapped out to a later, HEI distributor to do away with the troublesome and antiquated points type distributor.
This vehicle was purchased through an estate, with several other vehicles. I have not had the opportunity to take the car but to the gas station to put fresh gas in the tank because the weather has been very foul here outside of Chicago and I refuse to expose this work of automotive art to the elements.
It is my understanding that this vehicle was part of a now defunct Las Vegas hotel display and now sits in my climate controlled warehouse waiting to be shipped to your home.
My reason for selling the vehicle is that my collection has outgrown it's stable, and the car should be in the hands of a collector that can show the car.
The car is sold AS-IS, where is. I've done my best to describe the aforementioned vehicle as best as I can, however...if you feel there is something I missed or you are requesting additional information on this unit, please...do not hesitate to call me at any reasonable hour at 312 622 7533
It should be noted this this car is for sale locally as well as on other venues, and quite candidly, this auction may be removed at anytime in the event the car is sold by other means.

My year in EVs: 8 electrics that are changing the car industry
Wed, Dec 1 2021The year 2021 will go down as an inflection point in the auto industry’s transition to electric vehicles. It's when many much-anticipated models became reality. No longer sketches or sketchy prototypes, electric vehicles appeared from all corners with everything from the Lucid Air to Ford Mustang Mach-E changing how we think about transportation. I managed to drive a lot of them, and as I went through my notes, I realized IÂ’ve got a mini memoir of the seminal EVs of 2021. HereÂ’s my take on eight of them. Hummer EV Easily the most over-the-top EV I tested this year. The 1,000-hp super truck lived up to the hype with its domineering presence, stupendous power and simply being a reincarnated Hummer. I took it for a short spin on- and off-road at the General Motors Proving Grounds in Milford, Mich., and was impressed with the airy cabin, removable sky panels and expansive touchscreens. Yes, I crab walked, which felt like steering a pontoon boat, though I can see why it would be useful. Lucid Air Dream Performance The most beautiful sedan I tested all year, EV or otherwise. Unlike the futuristic Mercedes EQS — which is quite attractive — LucidÂ’s car is a blend of mid-century modern interior aesthetics and classic European exterior styling. When I walked up for my test drive, someone who IÂ’m pretty sure was comedian Jon Lovitz was sitting inside and taking it all in. As it sat in the valet of a hotel in a wealthy suburban enclave north of Detroit, the Lucid drew more attention than any of the Mercedes, Cadillacs or Lexus models passing by. The driving experience was enveloping. Starting at $169,000 for the Performance model (reservations are closed), the Lucid I sampled packed 1,111 hp and 471 miles of range. From the precise steering to the comfortable suspension, the dynamics were spot-on. It's a formidable product, and all the more impressive given itÂ’s LucidÂ’s first. Chevy Bolt EV The Bolt was the most pleasant surprise for me. It handled well, offered low-to-the-ground hot hatch dynamics and the steering was dialed-in. Adding a crossover variant for the new generation was a smart play. On a summer morning where I went to a first drive of the Ford Bronco at an off-road course, my hour-long commute in the Bolt was an enjoyable appetizer. The Bolt was also my biggest disappointment due to its extensive recalls for fire risk. Ironically, I had the Bolt in my driveway when the initial recall went out for the previous generation (2017-19).

Corvette Stingray Shooting Brake under consideration by Callaway [w/poll]
Mon, 18 Mar 2013Callaway has released a few renderings of a design study for a shooting brake version of the C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. The company says it wants to create a long-roof version of America's sports car to offer buyers more interior room and a vehicle with "unique style." The company says it will use structural carbon fiber for the new body bits, which suggests the conversion shouldn't add too much more weight to the Corvette. Along with a few mechanical tweaks, the Callaway Corvette Stingray AeroWagon could breeze past the 200 miles per hour barrier.
Provided that they get enough interest, Callaway estimates they will be able to effect the changes on the Chevrolet for around $15,000, and says the conversion work should be available through its network of dealers. You can check out the brief press release below for more information, or head over to the Callaway site to plunk down a deposit - but before you do, we want to know... do you find this C7 wagon interesting?
