Up For Sale is a Solid 1965 Chevy Impala SS 327 300hp car. This car can be a driver or resto project and is wll worth saving.  This car was driven daily until a few years ago and now just gets driven occasionally.Tis car has good road and traffic manors such as does not overheat and idles well.  I have broken down the basic description of the categories below.

Drivetrain: 

    327 V-8 4 brl., Holley 650 double pumper,  Edelbrock aluminum Intake,  HEI Distributor mated to a MSD 6AIgnition,  Headers connected to true dual  exhaust and Flowmster mufflers.  The camshaft has been changed to a Crane .480/.280 that gives it a nice thumpy sound and the engine runs great with no smoke or oil usage.

  Turbo 350 automatic transmission that shifts well

   12 Bolt non Posi rear with unknown gear ratio

   4 Wheel non power drum brakes

   14X7 American Racing Torque Thrust wheels on Radial tires that have about 75% tread Left 

Exterior:

  As you can see in the pictures the car is very straight and solid although there are some rust issues that need to be addressed to restore the car.  The frame of the car is super solid and has no rust issues.  The rear quarters need to be replaced with the outer rear wheel housings.  I do have a passenger quarter skin that will go to the new owner of the car. The trunk floor was repaired several years ago and in my opinion to do the car right I would replace the trunk floor.  The interior floor is in good condition.  There are a few places on the lower door skins that need attention as well.  One positive thing about this car is the doors shut like butter, silky smooth and all the glass in the car is in good condition.  The front fenders are in great condition as well.  To my knowledge this car has been repainted once about twenty years ago the factory color.  There is rust in the rear header panel under the back panel that needs to be replaced although the inner structure of the car is solid.  The hood has rust holes and I would replace that as well along with the header panel.  The chrome on this car is in excellant condition and even though not installed in the pictures I have all emblems and moldings.  The front and rear bumper are laser straight and in good condition.  I have seen far worse cars restored and am trying to give an honest overview of this car.

Interior:

  This car came from the factory with white bucket seats and console.  It has the original seats, black carpet door panels, console and they show there age.  The interior is complete with the exeption of the clock and one other gauge in the console and the rear package tray.  I have installed an aftermarket am/fm/cd player mounted in the glove box that play through 6x9's in the rear deck for music. Also there is an Autometer Tach mounted to the steering column.  The interior chrome is in excellant condition and would just need a good polishing. 

 

  In summary this is a great piece of American history and would make anyone proud to drive or restore.  Lets face the facts there not making any more of these classics!.  Ive tried to give an honest description of the car and anyone can feel free to email me and ask questions.  I have a Clear Florida title and car will not be released until funds are recieved. It is the buyers responsibility to pay for and arange shipping although I can deliver to a terminal close by if need be.    Thanks and good luck bidding!

Watch the National Corvette Museum sinkhole being filled in by R/C cars

Sun, Jan 11 2015

Okay, so not exactly cars, but Bobcats - but still quite cool. You might remember that the National Corvette Museum had that little divot that needed to be filled in. Turns out the construction firm of Scott, Murphy & Daniel doing the work is using two remote-controlled Bobcats to fill the sinkhole with "manufactured sand," which in this case is crushed limestone. It appears that the Bobcat company has offered remote operation since at least 2007 via a wireless transmitter that works up to 1,500 feet away. So yes, that means two SMD employees stand on the edge of the pit and flick joystick levers for hours at a time, one in charge of a Bobcat with a roller-compactor attachment, the other in charge of a Bobcat with a bucket. And that, to us, is a pretty good way to earn the daily bread. Check out the video above for the latest sinkhole update.

First-edition Detroit muscle raises millions for charity at Barrett-Jackson

Mon, Jan 19 2015

Amidst all the classic metal crossing the auction block each year in Scottsdale, AZ, Detroit automakers have a tradition of donating the first examples of their most enticing new muscle cars, with the proceeds of their sales going towards worthwhile charities. This year, Barrett-Jackson handled three noteworthy examples. The highest price among them was the first Ford Shelby GT350R Mustang with the VIN #001, which raised $1 million for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. General Motors donated the first new Chevy Corvette Z06 Convertible, the first retail example of the droptop supercar garnering $800,000 for the United Way. Along with the Z06, GM also donated the first new 2016 Cadillac CTS-V sedan, which brought in $170,000 for Detroit's College for Creative Studies. Although these were the headline Motown muscle machines furnished by the automakers themselves, they weren't the only vehicles auctioned off for worthy causes. A 1950 GM Futurliner bus donated by collector Ron Pratte led the charge when it brought in $4.65 million for the Armed Forces Foundation. Other lots included a custom Jeep Wrangler donated by SEMA ($85k), a new M5 donated by BMW ($800k), a '79 Oldsmobile Cutlass Hurst ($140k), '39 Cadillac LaSalle C-Hawk ($410k), Jeff Gordon's 1999 NASCAR-spec Chevy Monte Carlo ($500k) and a Victory Cross Country 8-Ball motorcycle ($180k). All told, the charity lots raised over $8.7 million for local and national charities. BARRETT-JACKSON REACHES HISTORIC HIGHS FOR SALES, CROWDS AND CELEBRITY APPEARANCES IN SCOTTSDALE • Barrett-Jackson sold 1,611 vehicles, which went for more than $130 million (unaudited), smashing records in the company's 44-year history during the 10-day auction at WestWorld of Scottsdale • Automobilia sales nearly tripled world records, with 2,000 pieces selling for more than $6.55 million • Celebrity attendance and crowds, along with ratings on Discovery and Velocity, spike SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – Jan. 18, 2015 – Barrett-Jackson, The World's Greatest Collector Car AuctionsTM, reached historic highs during the Scottsdale auction at WestWorld from Jan. 10-18, 2015.

How GM engineers are using diaper 'snow' to keep you warm

Thu, Jan 8 2015

Testing how snow affects General Motors' vehicles isn't really a problem right now for the company's engineers, but in the dog days of summer the process isn't exactly easy. The only real option is for them to book time at the automaker's climatic wind tunnel. However, a flash of brilliance from an engineer allows snow to be simulated regardless of the temperature outside, and the discovery is all because of his daughter's wet diaper. The realization came to GM Thermal Systems engineer Nicholas Jahn while he was swimming with his daughter and noticed how her diaper ballooned in size in the water. He found out the substance that makes this possible is called sodium polyacrylate. When the material gets wet it grows and forms fluffy flakes that are a close imitation of snow. Best of all, the stuff can be prepared easily any time of the year, and it's reusable. The engineering team uses the material to test the effectiveness of the heating systems of GM's vehicles. They spread the sodium polyacrylate over the inlets at the base of the windshield to obstruct the airflow and then crank the heater. After some time, they can see how much is being sucked into the system and design more efficient systems in the future. See how the process works in the video above and read about the diaper discovery in GM's press release below. Diapers Change Chevy Cruze Winter Warm-up Time GM validation engineer uses diaper material "snow" to reduce frigid drives 2015-01-06 DETROIT – An item commonly found on an infant's changing table is helping General Motors' engineers simulate snow year round, ensuring heating systems in cars like the 2015 Chevrolet Cruze can quickly and efficiently warm its interior. Packed snow can prevent air from entering the inlet panel at the bottom of the windshield, obstructing the flow of air into the heating system and reducing the amount of air it can push out. This can lead to less efficient warming of the car's interior and windshield defrosting. "The last thing anyone wants to do when it's freezing cold out is scrape their windshield," said Nicholas Jahn, GM Vehicle Thermal Systems engineer. "The testing we perform on the Chevrolet Cruze with the diaper material allows us to maximize the car's heating capabilities." Ironically, Jahn stumbled upon his diaper-based testing method in the middle of summer. During a swim with his daughter, he noticed her diaper multiplied in size when it came into contact with water.
