1963 Chevrolet Impala Sport Coupe - 409 Cubic Inch engine 425 Horse power. Barn Find-Survivor Impala. This is the original paint and interior. Great Patina. Accident Free and Rust Free Oregon car. The car was sold new in Canby, Oregon, at Sam's Garage. One owner. I bought it six years ago, after the original owner passed away. I just finished a complete Mechanical restoration of it. I was careful to preserve the original paint and interior. I wanted the Barn Find-Survivor look. It has an original 1963 Chevrolet 409 - 425 Horsepower QB engine with a Muncie close ratio 4 speed. This car was born with a 6 cylinder engine with a 3 speed manual transmission. The following is what I did to the Impala. I was after a "Day 2" Survivor look.
ENGINE: I purchased the complete engine from a 1963 Impala, that was rolled and totaled back in 1965. The car had 20,000 miles. The engine went into storage from 1965 until August of 2011, when I bought it. Since it was stored for 46 years, I had it professionally rebuilt. There was no ring ridge or cylinder taper, Standard bore. I found some NOS piston rings, for the original TRW pistons. The crank was standard on the Main and Rod journals, so it was polished and new standard bearings were installed. New oil pump. Gave it a valve job and new valve stem seals. The block number is 3830814 and the stamp on the pad is 11023QB. The heads are the High performance Big Port #3814690 heads. The intake manifold number is 3814881 and is a Winters casting. I had the original AFB (3361 and 3362) carburetors rebuilt. Correct 409 distributor, its number is 1111023. I did convert it to a Pertronix Electric conversion (It is hidden under the original cap, however I retained the stock points equipment). I rebuilt the original water pump, the original alternator, new AC Delco fuel pump. Still has the original Dripper Valve covers and air cleaner. New air filter element. New Flywheel and Heavy Duty Ram clutch assembly. New reproduction radiator, hoses, heater hoses, battery, etc. Completely new exhaust system; with Sanderson Headers, and Flowmaster 40 Mufflers. I had the Muncie Close ratio 4 speed trans rebuilt and it shifts great. I did use a Hurst Shifter assembly, with a reproduction original GM shifter handle. Reproduction 6000 RPM tach. Stewart Warner Oil and temp gauges. I did every thing right with the right parts. The Impala starts, runs, drives and stops great. I have driven it 20 miles since completing it. It is a fresh build. Three inch thick build book documenting all the parts and work done. Receipts for every thing. Clean and clear Oregon title. OTHER: I installed American mags, 7 x 15 front, and 8-1/2 x 15 rear. Tires are new Dunlop GT Qualifiers, 215/70x15 front and 235/70x15 rear. 4 New Gas shocks. The car is located in Corvallis, Oregon 97330. I am located 85 miles South of the Portland, Oregon Airport. I am 35 miles North of the Eugene, Oregon Airport. Fly in and drive it home. Or, I will assist your shipper with loading it. I have been an Ebayer since 2002, with a 100% rating. The car is For Sale locally, so the auction may end early. If you have any questions, or need more information please call me on my cell (541) 740-4140. The car is available for your inspection. Email works too. If I don't answer my cell, please call my office (541) 753-5944 and leave a message. I just turned 67 years old, and I am going to retire. I will be selling my business. So I need to down size my fleet some what. Good luck bidding. |

GM recalling 250,000 SUVs over door electronics
Mon, 20 Aug 2012After a door-fire investigation that dates back to February, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially announced a recall today that affects around 250,000 General Motors SUVs for a faulty driver's door module. The recall applies to the Buick Rainier, Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, Isuzu Ascender and Saab 9-7X from the 2006 and 2007 model years, as well as the 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT and GMC Envoy XL for vehicles sold and/or registered in the Snow Belt.
Road salt use in these midwestern and northern states can lead to corrosion of the driver's door module on these GMT360 and GMT370 vehicles, which allows water to come in contact with the circuit board. If shorted out, the vehicle's power door locks and power windows will not work, and could possibly lead to overheating and, in some circumstances, a fire. No official word on how many total vehicles caught on fire, but back in June, 28 fires had been reported to the government agency. A fix for the problem is still being worked out, but all affected vehicle owners will be notified by GM.

Chevy Corvette Stingray "colorizer" lets you chase the rainbow
Thu, 14 Feb 2013After you've convinced your better half to let you buy a new Corvette, then comes the hard part... actually figuring out which 'Vette you want. While Chevrolet has yet to release the official configurator for the 2014 Corvette Stingray, it did give us something else to kill some time playing around with.
The C7 Corvette "colorizer" recently went online, and it lets you look at the car in all of its available colors and wheel options from four different angles so that when this car does go on sale, you know exactly which one you want. It includes the Corvette's full pallet of colors including Torch Red, Laguna Blue and the hue you see above, Velocity Yellow. Toss in the black wheels, and we're sold. If you have some time this afternoon, be sure to check it out the Corvette colorizer for yourself, and even if you don't have the time, we've put together a gallery with all of the possible color combinations.
Kurt Busch to shake and bake (again) in Ricky Bobby car at Talladega
Sat, 19 Oct 2013Kurt Busch will channel Ricky Bobby for another NASCAR race, this time driving a Wonder-sponsored Chevrolet SS, in this weekend's Camping World RV Sales 500 at the Talladega Motor Speedway. Unlike past tie-ins, though, there's actually an element of sponsorship here (the "Me" car was done when Busch was running on a team without sponsorship).
It was arranged by Flower Foods, the new owner of the Wonder brand. Wonder was part of the bankrupt Hostess company, which temporarily exited the US market 2012, and set off the Great Twinkie Shortage.
Busch has made something of a habit of channeling characters from famous racing movies, most recently running Tom Cruise's City Chevrolet livery from Days of Thunder in a Nationwide Series race earlier this year. Busch kicked off his movie-inspired antics, though, at Talladega in 2012, when he raced El Diablo's ("It's like... Spanish for like a fighting chicken") "Me" car complete with a cougar on the hood. He even went so far as to channel the lovable idiot that is Ricky Bobby during the race, dropping a few catchphrases about macchiatos and slingshots.
