 Up for sale is a nice 2 door impala. This is a PROJECT car that is mostly complete, missing a few trim pieces. This vehicle was repainted at some point, but the paint started to crack near the rear window/quarter areas. Looks like there is some bondo in those areas, not sure how much though. This was assembled in the LA plant here in CA and it looks like it never left. This vehicle was purchased in the condition that it is in now, so I am not sure what kind of history it has. If there are specific areas you want pictures of or info about, contact me prior to purchase so that we can avoid any issues later.

This is a running vehicle with a 283 V8 and a 3 speed auto transmission. Comes with power steering, power brakes and power windows. All windows roll up/down. The trunk opens, but requires effort to keep it open. Looks like one of the retainer springs is either missing or detached. Looks like someone had a sound system in the car before because it's wired for subs in the trunk and dynomat in the trunk too.

The interior is mostly all there with the exception of the kick panels, the right sun visor and possibly a few other small things i’m not remembering. The carpet will need to be changed (worn through on drivers side), the radio will need to be looked at (doesn’t turn on), the door panels are there but they show wear, the steering wheel/column have cracks, and the front seat has cigarette burn marks. Needs weather stripping and possible upholstery work.

With some time and effort this can be a great show car or a great weekend cruiser for those hot august nights. This is a highly desirable year and it’s getting harder to find one that is complete and running. This impala is not rust free, but the rust it has is mainly surface rust and it’s in the usual spots. This is a 52 year old car, so it's not perfect.

If you’re not sure about something or would like more info/pictures, send me an email and I’ll to my best to answer your inquiries. This vehicle is also listed locally, so I reserve the right to end this sale at any time if it sells.

PLEASE NOTE: The buyer is responsible for arranging tow/shipping for this vehicle.

2013 Chevy COPO Camaro announced with two new engines and manual option

Thu, 07 Mar 2013

Chevrolet is following up the 2012 COPO Camaro with another limited run of the drag-strip-ready production car for 2013. Ditching the superchargers, the 2013 COPO Camaro can only be equipped with one of three naturally aspirated V8 engines, and other new features include the option of a manual transmission, new front springs, some minor styling changes and a lower starting price of $86,000. All cars are designed to abide by the rules of the NHRA's Stock Eliminator or Super Stock classifications, depending on in which series buyers wish to enter their Chevrolet Camaro.
Returning for 2013 is the 427-cubic-inch V8 producing 425 horsepower, but the new engines include a 325-hp 350-CID V8 and a 375-hp 396-CID V8. Buyers can select to purchase all three engines, and each will be matched with the sequence number of that car; the track-only COPO cars will not have vehicle identification numbers and can't be registered for street use.
Chevrolet is also offering unique enthusiast-specific options such as a COPO Build Book and the opportunity for owners to help assemble their car's engine at the Chevrolet Performance Build Center in Wixom, MI.

2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Convertible is the track car for sun worshippers

Fri, 11 Apr 2014



Supercharged, 6.2-liter V8? Check. Seven-speed manual? Check. Obsession with weight? Check.
What did you expect when Chevrolet said it was bringing a new Corvette variant to the 2014 New York Auto Show? Maybe a sticker and trim package, like the C6 Corvette Grand Sport or a tie-in deal like the Black Widow car from Chicago? On the opposite end, maybe there was an even more hardcore Z06 waiting in the wings. Who knew?

Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too

Fri, 07 Dec 2012

We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.
