I am very reluctantly selling my 1972 Chevy Impala that my brother and I got a couple of years ago. This car is beautiful, fresh paint last summer, has not been driven since just after the paint was done. Has been off the road since then. Let me tell you a little about the car. It has a 350 v8, 55,000 miles on it (approx), all original. When we bought this, it was 100% original, we just had it painted to freshen it up (light blue pearl with white pearl roof). The interior is in great shape with a couple of exceptions. There is a tear in the in the driver seat back rest, about 3" by 2". Also a small split in the driver seat. The front and back dash boards were not in good shape, so we tore them out. You will have to have those replaced. The tires are original from the 70s, so those will have to be replaced, but they are not cracking or anything. The weatherstripping is not in great shape either. Other than that, the car is in amazing condition. Like I said, it is almost 100% original today. This was purchased from a guy that had bought it at an estate sale about 25 yrs ago. The original owner had died and this guy bought it and garaged it, never driving it for about 25 yrs. When we got it, we drove it to Kingston from northern Vermont, no issues at all. We had the liquids checked out and changed where necessary. We had a new water pump installed, new tie rod on the front end, and a new paint job. That was pretty much the extent of what needed to be done, aside from the things that need to be fixed that I mentioned already. This is an amazing car, but the times have forced us to sell. I will also include a bunch of stereo equipment that we never installed, including speakers (Alpine), a subwoofer (Cerwin Vega), and an alpine cd player. We are open to reasonable offers, but you're not going to find too many cars in this original condition. Car is being sold "as is". I have described it to the best of my ability, but remember that this is a 42 year old car. Hate to see it go, but don't have any more time to play with it.

Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards

Fri, 22 Feb 2013

The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.

Watch this creative way to pull a truck's engine

Fri, 08 Mar 2013

Living in an apartment complex has its benefits, but for shade-tree mechanics who like/need to work on their own cars, it definitely has a number of disadvantages. Relatively simple tasks such as brake jobs and oil changes are difficult when you don't have dedicated driveway space, to say nothing of more in-depth repairs... like pulling an engine, for example.
For these types of challenges, a little ingenuity and plenty of muscle are needed to get the job done. Scroll down to watch these four men snatch the V8 out of a Chevrolet K1500 using nothing but a chain, landscape timber and good ol' fashioned brute strength. Good work, gentlemen.

GM claims it's first to sell million 30+ mpg vehicles

Fri, 04 Jan 2013

As we continue to put together all the data for the year-end edition of By The Numbers, General Motors has announced that it sold more than a million vehicles in the US last year that achieved at least 30 miles per gallon on the highway. More impressively, GM managed this feat using multiple strategies including small vehicle size, turbocharged engines and hybrid or plug-in technologies across four brands (Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC) accounting for 13 separate models. This number will grow even more in 2013 thanks to cars like the all-electric Spark, the diesel Cruze, the range-extended Cadillac ELR and the Buick Encore compact CUV.
GM's small car sales were up 39 percent last year helping to attain this million-sales mark for 30-mpg models, and almost 40 percent of all GM sales consisted of cars with fuel-efficient I4 engines. In regards to more advanced means of improving fuel economy, GM says that it plans on having 500,000 vehicles with "some form of electrification" on the road by 2017.
Scroll down for the full list of GM's million 30+ mpg cars as well as an informative press release.
