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.

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.

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.

Chevy Sonic shreds like a skateboard
Tue, 19 Mar 2013Despite the fact that the 2013 Chevy Sonic is a fun, plucky little thing - especially in ever-so-slightly hotter RS guise - it is not, in fact, a skateboard. But don't tell that to rapper Theophilus London.
In General Motors' latest spot for the Chevrolet compact, London needs to make a quick run to the store for some milk. And even though, once again, the Sonic is not a skateboard, it ollies, pops and gets air because, you know, it's just so much fun to throw around.
If this video looks familiar to you, it's because this is the full ad that we first got a preview of in Chevy's longer, full-line spot, where the brand's "Find New Roads" tagline was introduced. Scroll down to see this dedicated Sonic spot, along with the older ad, and remember, the Sonic is still - still - not a skateboard.
GM profits threatened by glut of pickups
Wed, 05 Dec 2012Automotive News reports that General Motors may slash production or ramp up discounts in order to deal with an oversupply of pickup trucks. GM currently has more than double the standard supply of pickups, and the vehicles are threatening to dampen the automaker's profits for 2013. Typically, automakers try to sustain a 60- to 75-day supply of vehicles, but GM is currently loaded with a 139-day supply, as of last month. At the end of November, the automaker was sitting on 245,853 units.
The manufacturer says that it will adjust production accordingly before laying any incentives on the profitable pickups. Even so, there's some concern that the inventory swell could hurt the roll-out of the next-generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. GM actually began slowly stepping back production in August, but it's clear the company will take further action as it heads toward the end of the year and into the next. Analysts predict the automaker could reduce pickup manufacturing by nearly half in the first quarter of 2013.
That still may not be enough to keep GM from laying extra cash on the Silverado and GMC Sierra. While the company's incentive spending was down in November compared to the same month in 2011, both the Ram 1500 and Ford F-150 saw double-digit percentage increases in sales last month while the Silverado and Sierra numbers slid compared to a year prior. Incentive spending could help move more trucks and add some balance to the GM inventory surge.
These are the five most ridiculous attacks on the Chevy Volt [w/videos]
Thu, Aug 7 2014It's been a long, strange trip for the Chevy Volt from the time when the now-odd-looking concept version (above) was introduced at the 2007 Detroit Auto Show to today. And now, General Motors announced that the second-generation Chevy Volt will make an appearance at the 2015 Detroit show in January. This debut represents a victory for GM with what has easily become the most politicized car of the 21st Century. There are plenty of reasons for someone to criticize the Volt, but what's amazing is just how much anti-Volt energy has been spent not on things like the styling or how the EREV setup is not as efficient as a pure-EV powertrain. As we wait for more official information on the new Volt, we thought it would be fun to go back and look at some of the most wildly incorrect reporting and strangest attacks on the Volt from the archives. There is so much good stuff out there, it was hard to pare the list down, but these are our five favorites. Amazingly, they're not all clips from Fox News. Check 'em out below. 5. GM Is Going To Stop Making The Chevy Volt In The US Do you remember when GM was about to move Volt production to China? Well, yeah, this was reported back in early 2012 when a GM executive mentioned that the automaker would get benefits of building the Volt in the places where it sells them. This was spun into a story of GM taking Obama bailout money and then running to China. The Blaze was not happy: "Given the fact that Federal government helped itself to millions and millions of taxpayer dollars under the pretense that it was going to combat high unemployment by creating 'green jobs,' it would seem that moving research and development (and possibly manufacturing) overseas is slightly, well, counterproductive." Well, of course, that never happened. There's no way to say that GM will never build a version of the Volt in China, but the news we hear rumors of these days is that GM is going to move production of more Volt parts (specifically, the motors) to Michigan from overseas. 4. The Chevy Volt Is A Fire Trap There has never been a Volt that just spontaneously lit up while driving down the road. Yes, there were Volts that caught on fire. Yes, that's a scary thing. But there has never been a Volt that just spontaneously lit up while driving down the road. These were crashed test vehicles with destroyed batteries and plugged-in vehicles that were not the cause.
