This auction is for a 1961 Chevrolet Impala Convertible. A good friend of mine owns the car and asked if I would list it for him as he does not have a computer. I will give you as accurate a description as I can from what I was told and how I see the car. My friends name is Larry. He purchased this car in 1998. It originally came from Florida and was a Greg Donahue Inc Restoration that was done in Clearwater Florida. According to some of the old reciepts I have the restoration started in 1981 and work was performed up until 1984. The reciepts show a lot of mechanical repair work and other types of restoration that was done to the car in that time frame. Of course that was then and this is now. We have the Florida Title and also the factory window sticker. It shows the dealer that sold the car new was Don Allen Chevrolet Miami Florida. Final assembly point was Norwood Ohio. Equipment included 348 Cubic Inch 305 HP, 3 Speed Manual HD Transmission, Antenna's Rear Right/Left, AM Radio, Modulated Fan With Clutch, Glareshade Windshield, Door Edge Gaurds, Door Filler Gaurd, Non Glare Inside Rear View Mirror, Outside Rear View Mirror, Front Bumper Grill Gaurd, Door Handle Shields, Push Button Windshield Washer, (5) 8.00X14 WSW Tires, Heavy Duty Clutch and Heavy Duty Suspension Included With 348. In one of the reciepts it shows a 2 door hardtop parts car and the the running gear from that car was freshend up and put into this car. So it still has a 348 1961 motor "F" code which is correct for the car. Also somewhere along the line a factory vaccum release for the trunk was installed. Also has fender skirts, front and rear bumper gaurds and the fancy little pull for the front of the hood. The car was always a red car. The trim code is 874 and the paint code is 923. The car had 2 tires that were getting down so he just put 2 new ones on the front to match the others. Has all T3 headlights. The body on the car is very straight down both sides. Very solid undercarrige. Nice frame. All body mounts, floors, braces, etc in great condition. I did notice a minor fix to one floor brace on the drivers side and also 2 minor fixes on the bottom rear quarter lip (very minor). Trunk is in nice condition. Does need some touch up on the spackle. Has factory type under coat. Paint is driver quality and would probably take a nice buff and clean. There is a good size scratch on top of the passenger front fender. Also a couple of scrapes on the side of the fender. Just scratched through the layers of paint, no gouges. Will need to be sanded down and blended. The rest of the paint on the car is fine. All the stainless is in decent shape. Front bumper center section had some blemishes so he is including a N.O.S. center that he purchased. Also included is a 3X2 BBL intake (tri power) no other hardware, factory convertible boot and a complete used Power Steering set up from a 61 Impala incase you want to convert it. Interior in the car is in decent shape just needs a good cleaning. Top is in good shape. Needs cleaning. Just had a new back window with zipper installed. Top goes up and down fine. The car just came out of lengthy storage and just needs a little sprucing up. Runs and drives great! The only reason for selling is Larry has a chance to purchase a piece of property that he has been after for a while. The sale of the car will help fund that purchase. If you have any questions please email or call us at 1-207-324-5568 Days or 1-207-432-2862 Eves and Sundays

Update

Have had a lot of questions about the underside of the car. In my description I went by what I was told . The only way to know for sure was for me to go there and Physically look at the underside myself . To begin with the rear quarter lips that I mentioned in the description have not had any repair nor do they need it just some paint peel age when I removed the skirts . What Larry was trying to tell me turned out to be a repair done to the lower trunk extensions which are the inner lower rear quarter panels that you see when under the car. Those were patched and there is a small eraser size hole on the right side one. The drivers side floor brace did have a capped repair on the end portion aprox 6" long. All the floors front to rear are solid as are all the other braces etc. Frame is good and clean. Body mounts are solid . I did notice that it had a replacement lower trunk pan. I could see the outline of the weld and the sealer that was put around it. Also on the left trunk floor extension there was a 3x3 patch. I feel that anybody that is bidding or a potential bidder should know this. I do the best to describe my auctions professionally . As I mentioned in the description it is an older restoration . Overall it is still quite a bit above average and a good investment for the money.

Artist imagines eerie world where cars have no wheels

Thu, 24 Jan 2013

The wheel ranks right up there with the telescope and four-slice toaster in the pantheon of inventions that have moved humankind forward. But what if a circle in three dimensions had never occurred to anyone, and we all had just moved on without it? Perhaps we'd be driving around in Lucas Motors Landspeeders with anti-gravity engines. Or maybe we'd have the same cars we do today, just without wheels.
That's the thought experiment that seems to have led French photographer Renaud Marion to create his six-image series called Air Drive. The shots depict cars throughout many eras of motoring that look normal except for one thing: they have no wheels. The models used include a Jaguar XK120, Cadillac DeVille (shown above), Chevrolet El Camino and Camaro, and Mercedes-Benz SL and 300 roadsters.
Perhaps one day when our future becomes our past, you'll be able to walk the street and see with your own eyes the rust and patina of age on our nation's fleet of floating cars. Until then, Monsieur Marion's photographs will have to do.

GM recalling nearly 4,000 vehicles over airbag concerns

Thu, 31 Jan 2013

Four different General Motors vehicles from the 2012 model year are being recalled over a potential airbag issue. The driver's side airbag shorting bar in the 2012 Buick Verano and 2012 Chevrolet Camaro, Cruze and Sonic might make contact with the airbag terminals, even during a crash. If so, the airbag won't deploy when it should, possibly increasing injury to the driver.
The recall is expected to begin on February 13 for the 3,896 units that might be affected. GM will notify owners who can then take their vehicles to dealers to have the airbag coil replaced. A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration below has more info.

First 2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray spotted crashed in the wild

Tue, 12 Feb 2013

This restyled blue 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is wearing manufacturer plates, and it appears to be the same one seen around the internet in various pictures lately. This crash is likely not part of the Chevrolet testing regimen, however. Digital Corvettes forum member gpetry posted the shot with a note: "got this picture e-mailed from a friend in Arizona last week..." No circumstances are given, other than the incident occurred in the thick of a set of curvy roads, and the coupe ping-ponged off a guardrail and into the rock wall. Hopefully everyone involved in the incident walked away.
It may not be a pretty thing to see, a crashed sports car that's not even available for sale yet, but rest easy. Many pre-production cars are used for development and then unceremoniously crushed and scrapped, anyway. If that's the case here, that makes this wrecked 'Vette less of a tragedy and more of a case of exceptional efficiency.
