1966 Impala Convertible-I recently aquired this car from the original owner. It is a 1 owner car-It has a 283 and a powerglide trans. I will tell you what I know about the car. He told me it has had 1 repsray in the original red. The interior is all original. The motor is all original as is the trans and rear end. He told me that on the re-spray he had the original antenna hole filled on the front fender and is now cracked and coming through. He also had the original seams filled on the back header panel.And the trunk lid has some little specks of surface rust just starting to bubble a little-I took pics but they dont even show in the pics. It also has a small scratch that I took a pic of. But its not deep and has no rust-I took a pic again but it doesnt show. Other than that there is no bodywork on the body. He did however put a little patch of bondo in the trunk right below the boot. He should have left it alone. I noticed it and asked. He should have paid to have it done. It doesnt look too bad but should have left it alone. The rest of the trunk is excellent with no rust anywhere. I took a picture of the area. The frame and floors on this car are in excellent condition!!!! As are the trunk pan extensions,rockers doors quarters and fenders-they are excellent-The car could eventually use paint but looks great the way it is. He told me the odometer was correct at 20,000 miles-I find it hard to believe but thats what he told me. You be the judge.The bumpers are excellent and shine great and are original,the stainless is very good too. The interior is all original and very nice as are the floor boards and frame rails on the car-I couldnt believe how nice they are. The car is starting to fade a little in some places, it still shines very well. He moved the antenna to the back of the car as he had a CB in it during the 70's. The seats,door panels and carpet and dash are really very nice. He did put speakers in the doors back in the 70's. I also took a pic. It has an aftermarket radio and 8-track player mounted in the glovebox. The seats have no rips or tears or wear marks-They are very nice. and original. as is the carpet in the car-The convertible top is power and works fine. It has a nice glass back window. The only flaw in the top is that one of the seams is coming apart and needs to be stitched. I took a pic of this too-It could be fixed right at home. The rest of the top is very good as are the bows,and all the hardware to the top. It works perfect. The boot to the car is the original also and fits nicely. I just purchased brand new American Racing Torque Thrust "D" rims. Chrome---With brand new BFG tires. I put as big as I could without them hitting or rubbing.The car runs and drives perfect. No rattles or clunks and gooes down the road as straight as the day it left the showroom. I forgot the horn button clear plastic is cracked. It has full duel exhaust and is quiet. Not sure what mufflers it has but they are pretty quiet. The car does not smoke or use any oil. All gauges and lights work as they should. All the idiot lights on the dash also work. I have a NYS Transferable registration with the car. NYS does not have titles before 1973-I would not hesitate to drive this car anywhere-It really runs great and gets compliments everywhere it goes. Its a great car for cruise ins and local shows or just a night out. I have been driving it on a regular basis for the past 3 weeks. Its hard to find a nice straight car like this. The body is so straight and the frame and floors are so nice on this car-Please e-mail me with any questions you may have. As usual it is being offered at No reserve. I try and sell all of my cars no reserve! I have 100% positive feedback for a reason. And I sell quite a few cars on here. Check my feedback-I try to be as honest as I can-Please ask any questions and if you want to see certain pictures feel free to ask and I will gladly take them. Or feel free to come and see the car. It is located in my garage in Elmira New York 14905--

Chevrolet To Oversee Restoring Sinkhole Corvettes
Fri, Feb 14 2014What Mother Earth devoured, Chevrolet plans to resurrect. The carmaker said Thursday it will oversee restoration of the classic cars swallowed by a huge sinkhole beneath the National Corvette Museum in Kentucky. General Motors Design in Warren, Mich., will manage the painstaking work to repair the eight prize vehicles, the automaker said Thursday. The cars were consumed when the earth opened up early Wednesday beneath a display area when the museum in Bowling Green, Ky., was closed. No injuries were reported. The museum was open Thursday except for the area where the sinkhole occurred. Mark Reuss, GM's head of global product development, said the damaged vehicles rank as "some of the most significant in automotive history." "There can only be one 1-millionth Corvette ever built," he said, referring to one of the damaged cars. "We want to ensure as many of the damaged cars are restored as possible so fans from around the world can enjoy them." Just how the cars will be pulled out of the ground remains to be seen, said museum executive director Wendell Strode. The local fire department estimated the hole is about 40 feet across and 25 to 30 feet deep. The hole opened beneath part of the museum's domed section. "We feel pretty confident that most of the cars can be extracted," Strode said Thursday. "And we hope and believe that with just a little bit of luck, that all eight cars can be extracted and be part of the restoration." Chevrolet spokesman Monte Doran said some of the cars look to be in good shape, while others are buried in rubble. "It will likely be several weeks until we can get the cars out and assessed," he said. The GM Design team has helped restore other historic cars, but the Corvette project looks to be its biggest, he said. "These Corvettes are part of our history, and they want them restored properly," Strode said. "We're thrilled they're doing this." The cars looked like toys as they plunged into the hole, piled in a heap amid dirt and concrete fragments. The museum owns six of the cars while two - a 1993 ZR-1 Spyder and a 2009 ZR1 Blue Devil - are on loan from General Motors. The other cars damaged were a 1962 black Corvette, a 1984 PPG Pace Car, a 1992 White 1 Millionth Corvette, a 1993 Ruby Red 40th Anniversary Corvette, a 2001 Mallett Hammer Z06 Corvette and a 2009 white 1.5 Millionth Corvette. Pictures of the sinkhole showed a collapsed section of floor with multiple cars visible inside the hole.
Mustang retakes monthly pony car sales crown from Camaro
Wed, Dec 3 2014Going back to their origins in the Swinging '60s, the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro have been fierce rivals for fans' hearts and dollars. Historically, the Ford often led in volume, but Chevy took the muscle car top spot in 2009 upon the Camaro's rebirth. However, with the launch of the latest Blue Oval pony car, the tide is turning back in Ford's favor. November was the first full month of sales for the new 2015 Mustang, and according to TheDetroitBureau.com, the model did spectacularly well. The Blue Oval shifted 8,728 of them, up 62 percent from same month last year, with the automaker proclaiming it the model's best November sales since 2006. Conversely, 4,385 units of the Camaro were delivered, down 13.5 percent year-over-year, meaning its sales were roughly half that of the new-generation Mustang. Ford is understandably happy with the results, and product development director Raj Nair even hinted to TDB that another version of the Mustang might be unveiled at January's North American International Auto Show. Rumor has it that the model will be the even more potent Shelby Mustang GT350R. Despite the Mustang's November success, the Camaro outsells it year to day. So far in 2014, Ford has sold 73,124 Mustangs versus 79,669 examples of the Camaro. With December offering the last chance for an overtake, the Bowtie may yet remain king for this year's sales crown. A new Camaro is peeking over the horizon, as well. It's reportedly moving to the Alpha platform used by the Cadillac ATS, and production could start in late 2015. Prototypes are already testing at the Nurburgring, and camouflaged examples have been spotted weirdly being compared to its '80s forefather.
2015 Chevy Colorado takes Motor Trend Truck of the Year calipers [w/videos]
Wed, Dec 3 2014The final winner of Motor Trend's prestigious Golden Calipers has been named, with the 2015 Chevrolet Colorado taking the title of 2015 Truck of the Year, likely shocking those who thought Ford's all-aluminum, next-generation F-150 would take the crown. But win the Colorado did, beating not only the new Ford, but two other brutish Blue Ovals in the F-450 and Transit. The midsize pickup also bested its brethren from General Motors, beating the heavy-duty Chevy Silverado 3500, GMC Sierra Denali 2500 and the GMC Canyon, the Colorado's fraternal twin. After an unprecedented two-year stint with the Golden Calipers, Ram sat this year's awards out. Most impressive about the Colorado's victory isn't that it simply beat the US market's other trucks, it did so with a unanimous vote. Praise from MT's editors focused on the trucklet's price, spacious interior, fit and finish and performance. Former Autoblog staffer Jonny Lieberman called the Colorado's steering the best he'd "ever experienced on any truck, full stop," in MT's awards article. "After days of testing, hundreds of miles on the road, and our most rigorous truck testing program to date, our editors unanimously selected the Chevy Colorado as our 2015 Truck of the Year," said MT boss Edward Loh. "Colorado is a smart, capable, and refreshingly honest truck that makes a strong value and efficiency statement. It's perfectly sized and suited for the needs of many of today's truck users." The Colorado joins the 2015 Volkswagen Golf and 2015 Honda CR-V among Motor Trend 2015 award winners.
