Up for auction is my 1966 Impala SS.When I bought this car back in 2006 she had just 60561 actual miles.I purchased it from the nephew of the original owners who inherited it at their passing.This Impala SS was purchased new from Emrick Chevrolet here in Richmond,Va.resided in Charlottesville Va.and is now back in Richmond.It has been kept in a garage or pole barn since new.In the 7 1/2 years I have owned her  she has also been garage kept.In that time I have added a few upgrades (all bolt on) to make it more reliable and driver friendly.These include but are not limited to the following; HEI distributor,"The Right Stuff " Power brake up grade with new booster,master cylinder and proportioning valve,front spindles and discs,rotors and pads,all new brake lines,and a rebuild of the rear drums with wheel cylinders and shoes.I topped her off with synthetic brake fluid which doesn't attract moisture.She will "stop on a dime".I also installed a new fuel tank and sending unit,new fuel lines and fuel pump,and I replaced the original Quadrajet with a new Edlebrock 600 cfm carb for reliability.She has a new radiator and water pump.I installed air shocks on the back(the schraeder is under the liscense plate) and most all of the rubber up front has been replaced.I also replaced the stock exhaust with great sounding duals that complement the V-8.All of this has been done during the 6,000 miles I have driven her.This Impala SS is powered by the original numbers matching 327 V-8 and Powerglide transmission(which was serviced with new filter and fluid).She shifts extremely smooth,Runs great,and handles like it should.I installed a set of vintage style slotted mags wrapped in BFGoodrich Radial T/A's.I also have kept all the original parts I removed with the exception of the exhaust,tank and lines and rubber.these parts will go with the car at sale if wanted by the new owner.

You'll notice I have not mentioned the interior.This Impala has the original interior she rolled off the line with.The headliner is excellent with no rips,tears or discoloration.The carpet is faded in spots but is not overly worn.Even under the mats it looks good.The rubber heel pad as well as the pedal rubber and chrome show only slight wear.You see in one of the pix one of the original build sheets under the carpet by the drivers seat.I have another one that came from under the back seat that is in much better shape.Also notice the seat belt retractors that still roll up the original seat belts.The center console still retains its color matching carpet liner and both inside and outside courtesy lights work.The back seat looks great and door and side panels are in great shape as well.The only place that is in need of repair is the front bucket seats.The passenger seat looks good but the bottom portion of the driver seat vinyl is split.These original style covers are readily available from many aftermarket suppliers(OPGI,Impala Bobs,Ecklers etc.)The dash pad has two thin cracks that run from the speaker area toward the windshield.They are not unsightly and do not detract from the original patina of the interior.The instument panel is very nice and the  green"cold"light still stays on until the engine has warmed up.The radio lights up when on but no sound comes out.With regular driving the clock will even run when it wants to.This Impala has very nice chrome that runs around the interior roofline and glass.Classy.All new roofline and door weatherstrip.A very nice all original interior.

This Impala retains all its original sheetmetal positioned exactly as it was from new.It has never had any rust repair.I stripped the original Wimbleton white paint down to the metal and had it basecoat/clearcoated in GM Arrival blue metallic.The trunk is excellent with the original splatterpaint intact.This is an extremely nice example of an unmolested,well cared for Impala SS.If you want a car you can hop in and drive with no worries this may be for you.I don't drive her enough to justify keeping her and she really needs to be driven and enjoyed by someone who has the time.Bid to Buy and if you have 0 feedback please email me before you bid.Thanks.

GM, UAW poaching Nissan workers in Tennessee

Tue, Sep 8 2015

General Motors and the United Auto Workers are going on a recruitment drive at the Spring Hill factory in Tennessee, and they're hoping to poach some skilled workers from Nissan's nearby plant in Smyrna, TN. The General and the union even bought a billboard advertising for industrial electricians near the Japanese automaker's facility, according to the Daily News Journal. The reason for the billboard was simple. "GM was short of electricians," said Tim Stannard, the president of the UAW local at Spring Hill, to the Daily News Journal. The factory currently builds the Chevrolet Equinox but has a contract to assemble the next generation of Ecotec engines and the Cadillac XT5, which replaces the SRX. Thanks to the $185-million deal, employment there is expected to double by May 2016, according to Stannard, with roughly 1,800 additional union jobs. Beyond just several billboards, GM has job postings online for the Spring Hill plant looking for workers with specific skills. There has already been some interest in the positions among Nissan employees, Stannard indicated. According to a recent study by the Center for Automotive Research, the average GM worker currently makes $58 an hour, including benefits. Comparatively, Nissan pays an average of $42 an hour with benefits. The General's number could change in the coming weeks because its contract with the UAW is about to expire, and higher wages are among the major negotiating points.

2015 Chevy Silverado gets Custom Sport package

Wed, Jan 7 2015

It's been on our mind for a couple of years that the Chevrolet Silverado could really use "a sophisticated monochromatic look." It is, at long last, a reality. Harking back to the Custom Sport Trucks the company produced in the 1960s, the 2015 Custom Sport package can be had in black or white on LT and LTZ models for those in search of "a touch of elegance." That means body-colored front and rear bumpers and grille surround, a black grille, and chrome applied to the door handles, mirror caps, side moldings and 20-inch wheels. The package, which will cost between $1,950 an $2,950, also throws in projector beam headlamps, tow hooks, and heated mirrors. LT trims can be had in black or white, LTZ trims - including Z71 - offer the choice of black or White Diamond Tricoat. The press release below has more information. Don't everybody rush to the dealer at once. 2015 SILVERADO OFFERS CUSTOM SPORT PACKAGE Inspired by Chevy Custom Sport Trucks that helped launch personal-use pickups DETROIT, 07/01/15 – With the new 2015 Silverado Custom Sport special edition, Chevrolet pays homage to one of its most iconic pickups, adding a sophisticated monochromatic look to double- and crew-cab Silverados. The Custom Sport package features body-colored front and rear bumpers and a body-colored grille surround with a chrome-accented black grille. Other accents include 20-inch chrome wheels, chrome door handles and mirror caps, and chrome body-side moldings. The package also includes projector beam headlamps, tow hooks and heated power-adjusted mirrors. "The Custom Sport special edition was inspired by Chevy Custom Sport Trucks of the late 1960s," said Sandor Piszar, Chevrolet Trucks marketing director. "Those CST models added a touch of elegance to a great all-around truck, just like the Custom Sport package for the new Silverado." The redesigned 1967 Chevrolet pickup entered the market at a time when trucks were starting to move off the jobsites and into the driveways of cities and suburbs. The 1967 Custom Sport Truck, with its bright trim, plush carpet and bucket seats, helped launch a wave of personal use pickups that continues today. For the 2015 Silverado, the Custom Sport package will be available as LT and LTZ models, including Z71s. LT models will be available in black or white, while LTZs will come in black or White Diamond Tricoat. Package prices will vary from $1,950 to $2,950, depending on the model. Dealers can place orders starting this month.

GM laying off 500 workers to slow Chevy Sonic production

Sat, Oct 24 2015

Due to slow sales of the Chevrolet Sonic and Buick Verano, General Motors is cutting a shift at the Orion Township plant that builds the pair. The move lays off about 500 workers, but most of them are expected to get offers to transfer to other factories, Automotive News reports. The move came just a day after GM announced adding 1,200 employees to the Detroit-Hamtramck plant. GM has been trying all year at the Orion Township factory to align production of the Sonic and Verano with their demand. The automaker first attempted idling the plant several times and eventually resorted to laying off about 100 workers. It also reduced the production rate there. With the huge rise in popularity of crossovers, demand for the plant's small cars is on the downturn. According to Automotive News, there's currently a 116-day supply of Sonics and 100 days of Veranos to sell. Delivers tell a similar tale because the Chevy is off 35.2 percent from January to September, and the Buick does little better with a 27.2 percent drop from the same period last year. While the situation at Orion Township might look rough now, big things are on the horizon. Soon, the new Chevy Bolt electric vehicle will be built there when it hits the market around 2017. Plus, the plant will also get a $245-million upgrade and 300 new jobs for another, unannounced vehicle.
