1961 Chevy Impala. A unmolested, well preserved time capsule. A 2 family owned, southern Tennessee car with documentation including The original laminated TN title, and protection plan book. Original V 8 283 2 barrel, automatic power glide transmission, manual steering, & brakes. Working AM radio, Factory tinted glass, Rare front mounted bumper bullets, 4 rear chrome bumper guards, door handle finger nail scratch guards. & chrome headlight eye brows. Bought new in Knoxville Tn & owned by the first family until 1981 where it had accumulated 87,000 miles, Upon receiving the car the second owner treated her to a new repaint & some mechanical maintenance. {All documented.} From 1981 to 2005 she spent most of her life on short cruises, & the show field { see pictures for the first, second & best of show trophies.} She was last registered in 2005 & has been sitting In a climate controlled garage since then. The odometer now reads 89,987 so between 1981 to 2013 she only accumulated less then 3000 miles. It still has the original T-3 headlights, spiral shocks, spare tire, original style muffler & exhaust. Front tires` are date coded from 1965. The 2nd owner never fully rolled up the windows or fully closed the doors or trunk to preserve the rubber weather stripping while it was parked. Now that is meticulous. It has been recently treated to new front brake lines & shoes & ignition upgrades..All old parts were retained. She runs & drives like a dream with all lights, turn signals, horns, cigarette lighter, radio, gas gauge, temp gauge, dummy lights, heater, & fan controls functioning properly. Clock, & Wiper motor are currently not working. There is some fading on top of rear seat side bolsters from sitting in the sun {see pictures} not too bad for 52 year old original material. Slight windshield scratches from passenger wiper, not deep they may polish out. I encourage anyone to come inspect this beauty for themselves.I am about 35 minutes from Knoxville Tn. Bring a spot rot magnet with you & I doubt you will find little if any body filler. Underneath is solid as the top. 2nd owner kept a log of anything that was done to the car from 1981 along with photos of the car when he was showing it. I reserve the right to end auction early because of car being advertised locally. Mileage might be slightly higher at end of auction. More photos available upon request, or call me to discuss in detail 865-717-6280 Thanks Rich.

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.
Chevy confirms Corvette Stingray Convertible for Geneva
Thu, 07 Feb 2013Want proof that General Motors has increased global ambitions for its 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray? It's staging the world premiere of the model's convertible variant at the Geneva Motor Show early next month.
As previously rumored, the droptop rendered above will debut at the Swiss show, making its first appearance anywhere on March 5. According to Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet, the location makes sense because Corvette "...is an icon that has long been recognized and admired even in countries where it's never officially been offered."
While neither Chevrolet nor the Corvette has a major sales presence in Switzerland, the Bowtie's European headquarters is located in Zurich (about three hours to the northeast of Geneva) and GM has made it clear that it wants to build the Chevrolet brand up across Europe.
Chevy Camaro is a good sport, wishes Ford Mustang Happy 50th
Tue, 15 Apr 2014It was 1966 when Chevrolet launched its challenger to the wildly successful Ford Mustang, the Camaro. While the competition between the two brands was already healthy, the arrival of the Camaro set off one of the most intense, model-to-model rivalries in the industry.
That competitive spirit hasn't stopped Chevy and the Camaro from wishing Ford's iconic muscle car a Happy 50th Birthday as the Ford's April 17 anniversary rolls around. These two cars have been linked over the years, and while the rivalry took a break for a few years in the 2000s, today's competition between the Camaro and Mustang is as fierce as it's ever been.
You might recall that this friendliness when it comes to major milestones isn't too rare. Ford put on quite a display for General Motors' hundredth anniversary back in 2008. As the Camaro's fiftieth birthday approaches in 2016, we wouldn't be surprised to see the Mustang sending its best wishes to its Bowtie rival.
