Rare 1972 Chevy Impala Convertible W/ Bb 402 on 2040-cars
Thornton, Texas, United States
|
Vehicle History: My dad bought this car back in '86 from i believe the original owner. It was a daily driver for him until about 10 years ago when he pulled it into my grandfathers barn and left it there. The upholstery has been redone and electronic ignition was put in. Other than that it's all original.
The condition of this car is rough. The body is straight. However, there is some rust along the rocker panels near the wheel wells in a few spots. The paint is still very good. The interior is gone. Rodents have set up shop in there so use your imagination. I tried to take a lot of pictures but I'm not a photographer. I tried to get close ups of the important areas and any rust I found. Not sure of the condition of the electrical but I'm gonna imagine it needs work. The mileage is over 100,000 but not sure exactly what it is. The odometer is not accurate. The tires need to be replaced and one wheel cover is missing. It does still have the high lift jack in the trunk though. It came with factory a/c but the compressor is in the trunk and probably needs to be replaced. The top needs to be replaced. The thing this car has going for it is it's rarity. Chevy made 6,456 convertible impalas that year and few of them came with the turbo-jet 402 with dual exhaust. The engine alone is worth some money. It came with electric locks and windows and front and rear bench seat. It's a big car with a big engine. The car is located in Thornton, Texas. It is way out in the country so try and figure out what shipping is going to cost before bidding. The buyer will be responsible for arranging and paying for shipping. I'll help with arrangements on my end. ****Please ask any questions you have before bidding. Car is being sold as is with no warranty.***** |

Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war
Sun, 30 Dec 2012A couple weeks ago, we watched a Chevrolet Silverado get dominated by a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty in a fullsize pickup tug-of-war, but in that truck's defense, Chevy's Vortec gas engine was no match for the torquey Cummins turbo diesel. For our next round of vehicular tug-of-war, a Duramax-powered Silverado HD takes on Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.
Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video, with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backwards. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.
It just goes to show, though, that big tires, bolt-on fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect when the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past?
Chevy SS prototype spotted wearing Pontiac G8 clothes
Tue, 28 Aug 2012
Do not adjust your computer screen, you are not seeing the rebirth of the Pontiac brand. General Motors has chosen to use a G8 to disguise a test mule for the latest prototype of the forthcoming Chevrolet SS. The G8 was closely related to the Holden Commodore and Vauxhall VXR, the platform upon which the new Chevrolet performance model will be based. It should come as little surprise, then, that GM has opted to use the cladding from the former G8.
Thought the front clip of this mule is pure Pontiac, note the vents immediately behind the front wheel. That is a distinctive design hallmark of the Vauxhall VXR. Also note that this vehicle is right-hand drive, as the Holden and its Chevy counterpart will be very closely related. That likely includes potential drivetrains. The spy photos of this mule also reveal very wide rear tires, and rear wheels that do not match the fronts.
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.
