Top. This isn’t your typical project car by any means!! This car is almost
done! Just put in an engine, and some nice American Racing wheels, and you have
a $20,000+ driver! Backstory: I purchased this car about a year ago with plans of building an over top Resto Mod with an LS1 engine, Disc Brakes, Air, etc. My plans have changed, and I have decided to sell the “roller” to someone else who can make their dream a reality. I originally purchased this car because everything is mostly here! And it’s extremely hard to find a Bubble Top Chevy, and one that has integrity such as a solid undercarriage, floors, trunk, etc. I purchased the car from a retired gentleman in Florida. He purchased it a few years back from an estate sale. The family did not know any history about it, other than it was in the garage for years. Though the title shows exempt mileage (which is common for antique vehicles) the odometer shows 13,289 miles. The car and story intrigued me from the start, so I had to buy it! Was it an old drag car that got tucked away? Was it a car just built to look like a vintage racer, and then forgotten about in a garage for years? I have never taken the time to research the VIN or to peruse any history. So the mystery continues…. This car is complete except for an engine. It will come with everything pictured. With installing an engine, THIS CAR IS VIRTUALLY TURN KEY!! Very street-able in its current condition. There aren’t boxes of parts that you have to put together! It’s all assembled and ready for your finishing touch! 400 Turbo Automatic Transmission,GM Posi Rear with 3.73 gears, Aluminum Radiator, Manual Drum Brakes, factory manual steering box, new shocks and springs, factory gauges, Auto Gauge Tach, wiper motor is present. There is a 12 gallon fuel cell in the trunk that is currently functional. Included is a factory tank. Headlights, tail lights all function properly. The side glass is Lexan, not the factory glass. There are no window regulators. The front fenders and the hood are fiberglass. They fit fairly well for being glass. The inner fenders (inside engine bay) are steel. As you can see in the photos, the hood lifts off, as well as the trunk. Trunk lid is steel (Bel Air Trunk). There is a roll bar, but it can be removed fairly easily. The front and rear seats are in very good condition, and mounted in the factory position. Headliner and carpet are also in good condition. Interior door panels are not the factory type, just painted steel that is finished off nicely, but not factory. The exhaust is straight pipes without mufflers. The entire car is in solid driver+ quality condition. The chrome, stainless trim, grill, & bumpers show very well. Has a very clean look. The paint is smooth with much depth and shine, unsure to age. The engine bay shows great. The undercarriage and frame is extremely clean, with no visible rust, rot, holes, bubbles, or issues that need addressing. Frame is very straight and true, not twisted or damaged in any way. The floors and trunk pan are solid and appear to be original. rear quarters also appear to be original. Trim Tag shows Interior Trim code 873- Red/Ivory, Paint code 973- White/Red. The VIN begins with 11837A- 1961 Impala 2 Dr. 8cyl Sport Coupe, Atlanta Built. In summary, this car has great bones to turn it into the machine YOU want! I can’t emphasize enough how close this car is to cruising a local car show by the weekend. Literally a couple days work to this classic, and you have a 61 Chevy Bubble top for a fraction of what other cars are bringing in this appreciating market. A great opportunity for the right person to turn this Impala into something special. I encourage & welcome pre purchase inspections. I will work with your inspector, appraiser, mechanic, etc to make you feel comfortable with your purchase. Vehicle is sold AS-IS, NO Warranties Expressed or Implied. I have clean clear Florida title in hand. If you have less than 5 feedback, please email prior to bidding. Please ask any questions prior to bidding. Don't assume anything. This is a legal binding contract. If you are the winning bidder, you are obligated to complete the purchase. You are not bidding on the opportunity to come and look at the vehicle and decide if you want to purchase the item! Also, please have all financing or funds in place prior to bidding. In other words, ask your wife first!! $1,000.00 Deposit due within 24 hours of auction close. Balance due within 7 days of auction close. PLEASE NOTE: If you pay by a certified check, vehicle WILL NOT be released until funds have cleared my banking institution!! Which typically takes 7 days. I urge everyone to take a look at my feedback. Bid with confidence! It was 100% until a few weeks ago, when a malicious ebayer left me negative feedback over a $45.00 die cast model car! Apparently, a windshield wiper was damaged in shipping overseas. I attempted to rectify the situation, but the buyer would not respond or contact me at all, and left me negative feedback! Located in Daytona Beach, Florida, 32118. Minutes from major route 95 on the northeast coast of Florida. 10 minutes from (DAB)-Daytona Beach International Airport. 70 miles to (MCO)-Orlando or (SFB)-Sanford International Airports. Fly in and check it out, and have it shipped home! I will assist with selling worldwide, but payment and arrangements are buyer’s responsibility. I have used several shipping companies in the past, and can recommend shippers to contact, or can be arranged right through ebay and their recommended carriers. Contact Clint at 610-763-8277 for more info. I do not send second chance offers! |

Car Club USA: Louisiana Mudfest
Tue, Jun 16 2015There's nothing quite like mudding. Big tires, huge power, and crazy-wild gearheads that like to throw down on a mud pit almost as much as a thirty rack of Coors. In the latest, and some might argue greatest yet episode of Car Club USA, we head to Louisiana to throw some dirt at Mudfest. As Louisiana's one and only Mouth of the South puts it, "If you don't mud ride... go to Texas I guess." Joining The Mouth and friendly rivals The Most Hated Mud Sluts, we dive in. Beyond the obvious V8 blasting and tractor-tire spinning, those who know best describe Mudfest as, "Good cooking, good friends, good fun, and a lot of partying." It's a motorsport spectacle unlike any you're likely to find up North or out West, though no less impressive to behold. Follow along with the fun, the impromptu drag racing, the trash talking, and the mechanical madness. And find out why, at Mudfest, "if we don't tear it up, we ain't done it right." Each Car Club USA episode features a different car club or event from across the US, where passionate owner communities gather to share automotive experiences and embark on incredible adventures. From Main Street cruises to off-road trails, catch all the latest car club activity on Autoblog. Chevrolet Ford Jeep RAM Truck Off-Road Vehicles Car Club USA Videos autoblog black
Veyron and C7 Corvette join cast of Transformers 4
Wed, 29 May 2013Like the Fast & Furious franchise, the Michael Bay-directed series of Transformers movies has become known as much for its bad acting as its impressive lineup of cars. As filming just started for Transformers 4, Bay's website has confirmed two new cars for the next installment as well as a makeover for everyone's favorite tractor trailer hero, Optimus Prime.
Joining the cast of T4 are a "race-inspired" Chevrolet Corvette Stingray and a Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse. While Bay's website did not supply names for either car, Bugatti is reporting on its Facebook page that the Veyron will join the Autobots. Speaking of the good guys, top Autobot Optimus Prime is getting an all-new body based on a Western Star with a gaudy appearance that was seemingly inspired by Trick My Truck - right down to the six smoke stacks and side pipes!
The USPS needs 180,000 new delivery vehicles, automakers gearing up to bid
Wed, Feb 18 2015Winning the New York City Taxi of Tomorrow tender was a huge prize for Nissan, even though the company is still working through the process of claiming its prize. The United States Postal Service has begun the process to take bids for a new delivery vehicle to replace the all-too-familiar Grumman Long Life Vehicle, and that will be a much larger plum for the automaker who wins it, perhaps worth more than six billion dollars. The Grumman LLV is an aluminum body covering a Chevrolet S-10 pickup chassis and General Motors' Iron Duke four-cylinder engine. The USPS bought them from 1987 to 1994, and the 163,000 of them still in service are a monumental drain on postal resources: they get roughly ten miles to the gallon instead of the quoted 16 mpg, drink up more than $530 million in fuel each year, and their constant repair needs like the balky sliding door and leaky windshields have led the service to increase the annual maintenance budget from $100 million to $500 million. A seat belt is about as modern as it gets for safety technology, and the USPS says that assuming things stay the same, it can't afford to run them beyond 2017. Last year it put out two triage requests for proposals seeking 10,000 new chassis and drivetrains for the Grumman and 10,000 new vehicles. The LLV is also too small for the modern mail system in which package delivery is growing and letter delivery is declining. The service says it doesn't have a fixed idea of the ideal "next-generation delivery vehicles," but it listed a number of requirements in its initial request and is open to any proposal. Carriers have some suggestions, though, saying they want better cupholders, sun visors that they can stuff letters behind, a driver's compartment free of slits that can swallow mail, and a backup camera. The request for information sent to automakers pegs the tender at 180,000 vehicles that would cost between $25,000 and $35,000 apiece, and it will hold a conference on February 18 to answer questions about the contract. GM is the only domestic maker to avow an interest, while Ford and Fiat-Chrysler have remained cagey. Yet with a possible $6.3 billion up for grabs and some new vans for sale that would be advertised on every block in the country, we have a feeling everyone will be listening closely come February 18. We also have a feeling the LeMons series is going to be flooded with Grummans come 2017. News Source: Wall Street Journal, Automotive News - sub.
