1963 chevrolet impala,texas car.when i bought this car it had been sitting for a while.my buddy josh[as seen on discovery channels texas car wars]and i took it apart and lovingly poured our hearts into this rebuild.it is not a frame off rebuild although i spent many hours under the car with a wire wheel and pressure washer getting every nook and cranny clean.i spayed it down with rust killer three different times and washed it time and time again.the main rust areas were at the truck lid reciever[near bumper] and cab at the rain gutters.here is where josh worked his magic.the parts we could buy,we did.the others were cut out and reproduced with a metal brake and some seriouse massaging.all those areas are rust free and coated professionally with the proper primer and paint.floor pans were not bad although we did do a few repairs. i primed the entire floor and then put in a sound deadning mat thruought the whole thing.i then installed the correct new black carpet and pad.the truck was treated to the same.i used the speckled trunk paint for that and even have the old school mat in there.josh went through the entire body.took it down to metal,repaired any sheet metal,primed and painted. in total there is not more than a half gallon of bondo on the car.in my opinion that is very good.im a stickler for doing it right and we did.as you can see the paint is awesome.ill bet there are at least 30-50 passes of varying lines,panels,lace,flake etc... on the top alone.ghost flames,pearl lines,lace panels,scallops thruought the rest of the car. i chose a factory color for the body as i feel it is important to be able to reproduce it if needed.lots of pearl!!!!
the motor is a very peppy 383 that i got from tough dawg motors.[the name is cheezy,i know]these guys can build a motor though. they claimed 450 hp.i was getting 400 when i had it dynoed.the guy told me w a different carb and bigger exhaust i could get to the 450. for me its plenty!i can probably find the build sheet if you get interested.what i will say is that its top notch.i payed nearly 4k for the motor alone.i have an edelbrock hi rise intake,edelbrock 700 cfm carb,borg and warner super t-10 4 speed tranny.pretty cool little custom piece i made is a motorcycle chain for a throttle linkage.aluminum radiator.it has never gotten hot on me and im not even running the shroud. originally i had a dual electric radiator fan but it didnt work as well as the set up i have now.heavy duty alternator.just put a new battery in it yesterday.slam specialties air bags,dual chrome compressors,dual tanks,3/8 valves on a smart manifold.one of the front lines leaks down very slowly[48 hrs]i have a decent sound system with an amp and has plenty of thump! there is very little the car needs to be complete.ive been rolling this car like this for five years and it is a head turner and panty dropper! seriously ,for a car that looks lowrider its super quick! super cool and plenty of street cred. any questions feel free to ask.i have countless hour in this car and quite a bit of money tied up in it as well. im trying to build a house and am selling a few things to be able to do so.i have a box of new weatherstripping,seat belts etc.. that go with it.its all yours if you buy it. this is not a bondo bucket or some sloppily built ride.its clean and correct,not completly done but correct. thanks for your interest,bill |

Chevy to show redesigned Captiva in Geneva, will it come to US rental lots?
Wed, 27 Feb 2013Unless you're renting a car or driving through Orlando, Florida (the rental car capital of the US), you'll probably never see a Chevrolet Captiva - the rebadged, fleet-only version of the old Saturn Vue - on our roads, but this crossover is popular in many other parts of the world. As such, Chevrolet announced that the Captiva will be getting an update for 2013, which will be unveiled next week at the Geneva Motor Show.
Coming off a pretty extensive refresh in 2011, the 2013 model year will bring even more changes to the Captiva like LED taillights, new 18-inch wheels and revised fascias with a new grille and fog lights up front and inset chrome exhaust outlets at the rear. New interior features include heated rear seats, dual-zone climate control as well as available options on some of the upper trim levels such as leather seating and keyless entry and start. We have yet to hear back from Chevrolet as to whether or not the updated Captiva will be making its way to a rental lot near you, as the model is only available in the US to fleet buyers.
Alongside the updated Captiva, Chevy is also showing off its new Trax in Europe, where the subcompact crossover will go on sale this spring. GM's press release for these two Geneva-bound models is posted below.
The Tesla Model S was the best-selling EV of 2015
Thu, Jan 14 2016According to numbers crunched over at Hybrid Cars, the Tesla Model S was the best selling pure electric vehicle last year with 50,366 deliveries. These numbers might not tell the whole story, since Tesla reports deliveries made in 2015 that might have been sold in a different calendar year, while other makers are tallying sales. However, it's inarguable that the Model S ended up in more worldwide driveways than the second-place Nissan Leaf, which did about 43,000 sales. In the US alone, Leaf sales were down 42.8 percent year-on-year, from 30,200 in 2014 to 17,269 last year, and that decline also increased throughout the year. That marks a great finish to a great start to 2015, when Tesla took the lead in EV sales in the US for the first quarter. On top of that, as of last year the Model S becomes the second-best selling EV ever, with 107,148 deliveries since the middle of 2012. It trails the Nissan Leaf, with well over 200,000 worldwide sales. The Chevrolet Volt/Opel Ampera combo takes a close third, with about 106,000 sales. The Nissan and Chevy rivals both launched at the end of 2010, a 16-month head start on the Tesla. Down the charts, the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV which continues to be forbidden fruit for our market notched 39,000 sales. The BYD Qin PHEV sold 31,898 examples in China, and BYD would take the overall victory from Tesla with 58,728 deliveries if you counted all of its EV and PHEV production, such as its electric buses. The BMW i3 nabbed fourth place with 24,057 global sales. In 2011 the Munich automaker said it wanted to sell 30,000 i3s annually by 2014, but by the time the car launched the company considered 15,000 annual sales 'great for now,' so the 2015 number seems a fine place to wind up.

Pony-car sales war: Mustang vs. Camaro vs. Challenger [UPDATE]
Fri, Jul 3 2015Update: An earlier version of this story misstated the 2015 Mustang's weight when compared with previous models. Additionally, we have added comments from Chevrolet in the text. The Ford Mustang has blown past the Chevy Camaro as America's best-selling pony car, and in June, it wasn't even close. The 'Stang outsold the Camaro 11,719 to 8,611 cars. The Camaro remained ahead of the Dodge Challenger, which sold 6,845 units. Even though the Camaro did post an 11.5-percent sales improvement in June, the competition is arguably stronger than at anytime since the 1970s muscle-car era. The Mustang's sales leapt a whopping 53.6 percent, while the Challenger saw a gain of 56 percent. Several factors are weighing down Camaro sales, including its lame duck status. Chevy is launching a new generation of the Camaro this year that's more than 200 pounds lighter, offers a new turbo four-cylinder engine option, and has a nicer interior than the outgoing model. Put simply: wait a few months and you can get a better car. It's also unlikely Chevy will jack up the price much, as it's historically kept the Camaro within reach of everyday enthusiasts. While Chevy fans wait in anticipation for their new sports car, Ford and Dodge have downshifted. The new Mustang, which went on sale last year, is faster and more sophisticated than its predecessor. It also offers a 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder, which Ford has credited for the Mustang's recent uptick and makes up 36 percent of the car's sales, Ford analyst Erich Merkle said. View 17 Photos June's performance allowed the Mustang to widen its sales gap with the Camaro this year. Through the first five months, Ford sold 68,290 Mustangs, a 54.4-percent increased compared with 2014. Chevy sold 42,593 Camaros, an 8.7-percent decrease. The Challenger – long the No. 3 pony car in sales volume – has seen its sales surge 41 percent this year to 37,011 units. Spokesman Monte Doran said Chevy expected that 2015 would be a "relatively soft year" for the Camaro. "Mustang is taking advantage of years' worth of pent-up demand for an independent rear suspension," he said. "When Camaro introduced an IRS, in 2009, it helped make us the best-selling performance car in America.
