1969 Chevrolet Impala 427 Ss 1 Of 2,455 Produced on 2040-cars
Evans, Georgia, United States
For your consideration is my '69 Impala 427 SS Custom Coupe. This car was sold to the Volo Auto Museum by the family of the original owner in 2001. It was restored in the late 90's to its original glory. The original motor was blown sometime in the mid-late '70's and was dealer replaced. The 400 TH transmission and 12 bolt posi rear end are original to the car. Other than the car's short stint in Volo, IL, the car has been a southern car its entire life. It went from Alabama to Volo, IL to Vidalia, Georgia, finally ending up in Augusta, Georgia in my garage. I purchased it from the folks who got the car from Volo. This car is an overall nice driver. The paint is nice with a few touch ups. This is a nice, straight car, not a thrown together bondo bucket. It was refinished in its original Garnet Red with parchment formal vinyl top. There is no rust on this car anywhere. The top is nice, with no bubbling or soft spots. The stainless is nice. The bumpers are decent driver quality and have a good shine. The 15" Rallyes are wrapped in newer Goodyears. The glass and interior are nice. The seats and door panels were replaced in the late '90's and still look great. The car runs and drives great. It shifts through the gears very nicely. The power disc brakes definitely do their job. The car stops straight and true, with no pulling right or left. There are no fluid leaks. The air conditioner blows great, but needs a recharge. It has not been converted. Everything works on the car except for the clock. The car was ordered with the factory AM/FM radio that still sits in the bezel and it works great. Have you priced one of these? As I said, this is an overall nice driver. If you take it to nearly any show or cruise in, chances are better than not that you will be the only one there with a car like this, since there were only 2,455 built. The year 1969 was the last year for the Impala SS until 1994. All SS cars in '69 were 427 cars. My car is the real deal, not a tribute. Please call Andy at (706) 836-4410 with questions. I will be listing the car elsewhere, so I reserve the right to end the auction early. Please...serious calls and bids only. Thanks for looking. As much as I'd love a '66 Impals 396 SS, I can't trade right now. Thanks On Jul-17-14 at 07:32:47 PDT, seller added the following information: For some reason when I clicked "enlarge picture when mouse goes over picture" (or whatever it says), it won't enlarge or zoom in. I tried to revise twice. The box "is clicked" but to no avail....If anyone would like a more detailed picture, shoot me an email, text or call me and I'll be glad to send whatever you'd like. The car looks much nicer in person, so please come and see and drive it if you are close. With only a few hours into the listing, I've already had a call inquiring about a "buy it now". My reserve is a little more than half of what others are asking for a true 69 SS car. Thanks On Jul-17-14 at 07:49:25 PDT, seller added the following information: I meant to also address a question that I got on the car regarding the "SS" logo and there not being an "Impala" script on the fenders like there is on another 69 SS that's offered on ebay. The other car is a "Sport Coupe" and mine is a "Custom Coupe". All Sport Coupes recieved the SS and the Impala badging on the fenders, where as all Custom Coupes received the SS badging only on the fenders. A combination of Sport Coupes, Custom Coupes and Convertibles accounted for the 2,455 units. Check some of the Impala sites and blogs and you'll find this info there as well. On Jul-18-14 at 09:43:02 PDT, seller added the following information: Several folks have asked for a picture of the VIN and/or cowl tag. I had one picture left, so I posted the cowl tag. I have a picture of the vin on the driver's side of the transmission and of the vin on the dash. If anyone wants pictures of those, send an email address or number to text picture to. I can only have 24 pictures in this add. |

Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you
Thu, 21 Feb 2013As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.
Body shop manager stole over $500,000 worth of government trucks and parts
Fri, Jan 27 2017The US Department of Justice announced yesterday that the manager of a collision and restoration business in Virginia admitted he helped misappropriate and sell vehicles and parts from the State Department. Specifically, he sold 12 Chevrolet Suburbans, a Hummer, and $7,500 worth of tires and wheels. He pled guilty to charges to commit theft of government property and wire fraud. He will likely see 18 to 20 months in prison, a fine of $4,000 to $40,000, and has already agreed to pay restitution of $416,020 and asset forfeiture of the same amount. According to the Department of Justice, the body shop manager, James Ratcliffe, worked with the owner of the business and a State Department official, both unnamed, to obtain the property. It started with the wheels and tires, which were delivered and sold on two occasions, one in 2011 and another in 2012. The trucks came later, and were sold throughout 2011 and 2013. Ratcliffe and the shop owner kept most of the profits, and shared some of the leftovers with the government official. In addition to the vehicles that were sold, the government official also gave Ratcliffe a pair of Suburbans for his own personal use. The Department of Justice estimated the total value of the SUVs at $96,400. In total, the group misappropriated $512,420 worth of property. Related Video:
GM recalls 3.6 million vehicles for airbag-software problems
Fri, Sep 9 2016The Basics: General Motors is recalling 3.64 million vehicles across its lineup for an airbag-related issue. The recall covers the 2014-2015 Buick LaCrosse, Chevrolet SS, and Spark EV; 2014-2017 Chevrolet Corvette, Trax, Caprice PPV, Silverado 1500, Buick Encore, and GMC Sierra 1500; and 2015-2017 Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban, Silverado HD, GMC Yukon, Yukon XL, Sierra HD, Cadillac Escalade, and Escalade ESV. The Problem: Affected vehicles have a sensing and diagnostic module that controls the airbags and seat-belt pretensioners. The software it uses has a defect that can prompt the module to run a diagnostic test under specific driving conditions, which will also deactivate the front airbags and pretensioners. This means that it would be possible for those safety systems to not activate in a crash, potentially leading to injury or death. Injuries/Deaths: General Motors began an investigation that led to the recall after a 2014 Silverado was involved in a crash in which the airbags did not deploy. No information was given as to injuries or deaths. The Fix: Owners can bring their vehicles to a local General Motors dealer where a software update will be installed to fix the issue. The fix will be free of charge. If you own one: General Motors will contact owners of affected cars, and owners can check whether their vehicles are affected by visiting entering their vehicle identification numbers at either the GM Owner Center website or the NHTSA website. Owners can then schedule a time to have the update installed. Related Video:
