This auction is for a once in a lifetime find, a showroom condition 1966 Chevrolet Impala. A true "barn find". As an Introduction, here is a write-up from the present owner of the car;

’66 Chevy Impala
The car was originally purchased from Castle Rock Chevrolet, and after being driven 2064 miles, was obviously put in storage
The original rubber – tires, hoses and belts only tell a part of the story. The pristine clear plastic seat covers show the care the car had.
One day in 2005 a worker in our manufacturing facility asked if he could store a car in our yard until he decided what to do about it. His girlfriend’s grandparent had passed away, and left the car to her.
My recollection is that the car was stored in Denver, which is one of the driest climates in America, and doesn’t get overly hot in the summer.
He had the car appraised, and I purchased it for just about the appraised value.
Since owning the car it has been covered and stored in my garage.

The brief introduction above does not begin to tell the story of this car. It has original everything, including the original Colorado Temporary License Plate. If you were to go back in time to the year 1966, this is the car that you would see in that Chevrolet showroom, absolutely original.

On Apr-30-14 at 06:39:39 PDT, seller added the following information:

This car is a true "Driver", as it starts, runs and operates, as if it were new. You could hop in this Chevy tomorrow and drive clear across the country. You will think that you went back in time and bought a new 1966 Chevrolet Impala off of the dealer's lot. This opportunity does not come along everyday. The fuel system has recently been flushed and the entire car including the engine bay has been cleaned and detailed since the posted photographs were shot. Feel free to contact me with any questions regarding the car, or with any requests for further documentation.

I will assist in any way that I can in order to find this exceptional automobile a new home.

On May-01-14 at 18:00:17 PDT, seller added the following information:

If you're a bidder that has no feedback or is based in a location outside of North America, please contact me first so that we can discuss your intentions. I will cancel all bids from such bidders that do not do so.

The 2014 Chevrolet SS sedan is for drivers who value performance above all else

Sat, 16 Feb 2013

The car you see above is the 2014 Chevrolet SS, and it's important both because it is the first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan from Chevy in 17 years, and because it will be the nameplate the brand uses on NASCAR tracks all across the country starting this year.
Though it wears a name as American as baseball and apple pie, the machine was actually designed and built in Australia, sharing most of its parts with the brand-new VF-model Holden Commodore. That said, the basic chassis bits are shared with other Chevrolet models like the Camaro and Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle.
While Chevrolet is happy to sell a Malibu or Impala to anyone looking for a mainstream family sedan, but the SS is reserved for buyers interested first and foremost in performance. Most sedans sold these days are front-wheel drive, which is great for everyday driving and when the weather goes bad, but the SS is instead a rear-wheel-drive vehicle aimed at enthusiasts who love to drive and who prefer speed and performance above all else.

Recharge Wrap-up: Chevy Volt's new, improved powertrain; Inabikari wants to build Tesla Model X fighter

Thu, Nov 6 2014

We knew the 2016 Chevrolet Volt's new powertrain would provide more range, but we didn't know how much. According to GM's Executive Director Larry Nitz, it is about 12 percent more, overall. "I can't think of a powertrain we've re-engineered more extensively within a five-year period than this one," he said. The battery, electric drive system and gasoline generator have all been reworked to allow for an overall driving range of up to 425 miles, with electric range speculated to reach 42 miles or more. The new Volt will also benefit from 20 percent quicker low-end acceleration, weight reductions and improvements in NVH. Read more at Hybrid Cars and at the SAE website. Hyundai's FCEV research and development boss, Dr. Sae-Hoon Kim, is optimistic about the future of hydrogen mobility in Japan. With the Tucson Fuel Cell already in production ahead of Toyota's FCV, Hyundai has a foothold in the hydrogen car scene. Kim believes that since the Fukushima disaster, Japan's attitudes toward energy make it friendly to a growing hydrogen economy. He also says that hydrogen won't be limited to Hyundai, with Kia getting all the battery EVs. "Both types are for both companies," Kim says. "For the moment, volumes are small and it is not wise to have Hyundai and Kia competing." Read more at Just Auto. The Latvian/German startup Inabikari is using crowdfunding to build an electric crossover for Europe. The Rev.01 EV hopes to compete with Tesla's upcoming Model X with a range of over 400 miles and a five-second 0-60 time. The group currently is trying to raise initial funds through an Indiegogo campaign, with hopes of more investment in the future and sales beginning in 2017. See the video below, and read more at Hybrid Cars and at the Inabikari website. Fuel economy and emissions regulations could lead to some interesting design changes to automobiles. The World Light Duty Test Procedure, set to replace the New European Driving Cycle in 2017, will push automakers to find new ways to reduce drag on their vehicles. For better aerodynamics, we could see traditional side-view mirrors replaced by cameras that display what they see on screens inside the vehicle. Another likely change will be the introduction of smaller, narrower wheels. Improving the average drag coefficient from 0.32 to 0.20 could reduce CO2 emissions by as much as 20 percent.
