1966 Impala Convertible-I recently aquired this car from the original owner. It is a 1 owner car-It has a 283 and a powerglide trans. I will tell you what I know about the car. He told me it has had 1 repsray in the original red. The interior is all original. The motor is all original as is the trans and rear end. He told me that on the re-spray he had the original antenna hole filled on the front fender and is now cracked and coming through. He also had the original seams filled on the back header panel.And the trunk lid has some little specks of surface rust just starting to bubble a little-I took pics but they dont even show in the pics. It also has a small scratch that I took a pic of. But its not deep and has no rust-I took a pic again but it doesnt show. Other than that there is no bodywork on the body. He did however put a little patch of bondo in the trunk right below the boot. He should have left it alone. I noticed it and asked. He should have paid to have it done. It doesnt look too bad but should have left it alone. The rest of the trunk is excellent with no rust anywhere. I took a picture of the area. The frame and floors on this car are in excellent condition!!!! As are the trunk pan extensions,rockers doors quarters and fenders-they are excellent-The car could eventually use paint but looks great the way it is. He told me the odometer was correct at 20,000 miles-I find it hard to believe but thats what he told me. You be the judge.The bumpers are excellent and shine great and are original,the stainless is very good too. The interior is all original and very nice as are the floor boards and frame rails on the car-I couldnt believe how nice they are. The car is starting to fade a little in some places, it still shines very well. He moved the antenna to the back of the car as he had a CB in it during the 70's. The seats,door panels and carpet and dash are really very nice. He did put speakers in the doors back in the 70's. I also took a pic. It has an aftermarket radio and 8-track player mounted in the glovebox. The seats have no rips or tears or wear marks-They are very nice. and original. as is the carpet in the car-The convertible top is power and works fine. It has a nice glass back window. The only flaw in the top is that one of the seams is coming apart and needs to be stitched. I took a pic of this too-It could be fixed right at home. The rest of the top is very good as are the bows,and all the hardware to the top. It works perfect. The boot to the car is the original also and fits nicely. I just purchased brand new American Racing Torque Thrust "D" rims. Chrome---With brand new BFG tires. I put as big as I could without them hitting or rubbing.The car runs and drives perfect. No rattles or clunks and gooes down the road as straight as the day it left the showroom. I forgot the horn button clear plastic is cracked. It has full duel exhaust and is quiet. Not sure what mufflers it has but they are pretty quiet. The car does not smoke or use any oil. All gauges and lights work as they should. All the idiot lights on the dash also work. I have a NYS Transferable registration with the car. NYS does not have titles before 1973-I would not hesitate to drive this car anywhere-It really runs great and gets compliments everywhere it goes. Its a great car for cruise ins and local shows or just a night out. I have been driving it on a regular basis for the past 3 weeks. Its hard to find a nice straight car like this. The body is so straight and the frame and floors are so nice on this car-Please e-mail me with any questions you may have. As usual it is being offered at No reserve. I try and sell all of my cars no reserve! I have 100% positive feedback for a reason. And I sell quite a few cars on here. Check my feedback-I try to be as honest as I can-Please ask any questions and if you want to see certain pictures feel free to ask and I will gladly take them. Or feel free to come and see the car. It is located in my garage in Elmira New York 14905--

Watch this time-lapse build of the Chevy SS for NASCAR
Fri, 08 Feb 2013There's only about a week left until we get our first look at the production version of the 2014 Chevrolet SS sedan, but Chevrolet NASCAR teams have been looking at the race version of the car all winter. Autoweek has posted a really neat time-lapse video showing just a portion of what it takes to build one of NASCAR's new Gen6 stock cars.
Though the video is quite brief, it does show almost the entire build process starting with just the car's nose, and it gives us a good look at how integral the template is to the final product. As a bonus, Hendrick Motorsports also provided some videos showing two of its teams performing pit stop tests over the winter. The second video shows some of the more detailed aspects of the racecar's rear end, including the stock-looking trunk cutout and a newly mandated rear bumper extension that will be used on super speedways like Daytona and Talladega.
To see what Team Chevy has been up to all off-season, check out all three videos posted after the jump.
General Motors shaking up its marketing... again
Wed, 13 Mar 2013One of the things that dogs the full comeback of General Motors is the instability of its marketing. That part of the automaker got yet another big shakeup today when GM confirmed what I have been tweeting for a few days - strong rumors that the Chevrolet and Cadillac ad accounts are walking to new ad agencies.
Cadillac, GM's luxury brand, is going into review from Fallon Worldwide, Minneapolis and the indications are that Campbell-Ewald, Chevy's old ad shop, will end up with most or all of it. C-E just announced that it was moving from its long-time home in Warren, MI to a new downtown Detroit office next to Ford Field, just blocks from GM.
The other shoe to drop shortly will be the shift of GM's most important brand, Chevy, from Goodby, Silverstein & Partners of San Francisco to McCann-Erickson of Troy, MI. McCann used to be the agency for Buick and GMC, as well as GM's corporate advertising, and has retained some pieces of business over the last few years. Sources have even told us that it was McCann that did a lot of the creative work on Chevy's new ad platform, Find New Roads. (Not to be confused with a former McCann tagline for Saab, "Find Your Own Road.")
GM execs fired over fraudulent India emissions testing
Mon, 29 Jul 2013General Motors hadn't had a recall in India since 1995. That changed when it was discovered that certain employees were playing tricks with local emissions testing in order to ensure passing grades for engines. More than ten GM Powertrain employees in India and the US have been let go over the ensuing emissions flap, including Sam Winegarden, VP of global engine engineering, a man who has been with the company since 1969, leading development of some marquee powerplants.
According to Automotive News, an internal investigation revealed that employees "violated testing procedures," sometimes swapping specially prepared low-emissions engines during testing regimes for the Chevrolet Tavera SUV equipped with the 2.0-liter and 2.5-liter engines. Employees were also manipulating weights in order to get vehicles placed into different emissions categories. The discovery has led to GM recall the 114,000 Taveras produced over an eight-year period and halting their production and sale.
The Economic Times of India reports that the issue is due to "a faulty component." GM has developed a solution to the issue, and once it is validated in testing and approved by the Indian authorities, the recalled vehicles will be fixed at dealers and production will resume.
