1965 Chevy Impala SS Convertible

My name is Kurt Bonner and thanks for giving the auction of my 1965 Chevrolet Impala SS your consideration.  I have, over the past several years offered just a few nice classics here on eBay for sale.  I have done so with great success.  For one, I have sold every single one while listed, either via auction or at my hometown dealership in Whitehall Michigan, during its auction process.  Secondly and most importantly, I have received a consistent 100% satisfaction score from my customers here on eBay, as is evident by my feedback score of 100%.  If nothing else, that lets you know my description tells it like it is.   This in and of itself, can be of utmost importance when purchasing anything, but more so when considering the purchase of a classic vehicle such as this Impala SS Convertible.  If after completing the description, you have questions, please feel free to contact me directly at a reasonable hour at 231 578-2887.  I will be happy to answer your questions.

 As I mention above, I do own a small hometown style dealership in Whitehall Michigan.  The car was acquired from a terrifically hospitable husband and wife locally.  They owned the car for more than 25 years.  They simply didn’t drive it much.  Less than 150 miles in the last 10 years.  A number verified  by receipts I have.  The title I hold is actually dated May 1989, when the lien was paid and the new title was issued.    The car is, as stated, a 1965 Impala SS convertible.   That is a 283 V8 with an Automatic transmission.   The mileage is also stated to me as actual at 68787 has been verified by the plethora of receipts if have for the car.

As you might expect, around 1990 the car was restored.  It really was given a face lift that continued as it was driven over the next 4 or so years.  It was repainted in it’s original color, and received new trim, chrome and rubber as needed.  Four years following that the facelift, the Impala received a new NOS interior.  All of the aforementioned items remain on the car now and it still remains in beautiful condition.  The body and underside of the car are in great condition.   There is one chip in the paint on the top of the rear quarter panel.  For 25 years old paint, the car looks terrific.   I have left the car alone and remains in the condition I received the car in.   I have the car stored in my showroom and gets daily comments from local customers.  Mechanically, the car needed a new battery when I received it so one was installed.   All of the maintenance like oil changes, brakes, wheel cylinders, ect…, have been performed with receipts showing the dates for those items.  The tires were new in 2005 and have less than 150 miles on them since.   They are like new condition.  Upon purchasing, the car was driven 30 miles, with the top down to my dealerships showroom.  The car drives great.  Bid knowing you can drive it to your next cruise night without hesitation.  

 Just a few more details.  The convertible top was also replaced in the recent past (with glass rear window) and is controlled with the power button on the dash.  This operates just as it should both up and down.   It comes with a parade boot.  Boot looks good buy shows its age.  All the gauges appear to work as well as the factory in dash vacuum gauge.  Interior and exterior lights all work.  The SS retains the original 283 engine, air cleaner, exhaust manifolds, distributor, wiper washer bottle, owner’s manual, and brochures ect…that came with the car new.  Everything I have received, including the custom car cover, you will receive with your winning bid.  I encourage you to ask questions before the end of the auction.

 I believe it goes without saying, but I better say, the Impala is a 1965.  With that, it is going to have it’s 50th birthday coming up very soon.  Therefore, the sale of this great car is as is.  I can’t offer you a warranty, but will tell you my description is right on.  Questions will be answered accurately and honestly.  If you bid based on that alone, you will not be dissatisfied with your ultimate purchase of this very fine 1965 Chevrolet Impala SS Convertible.    I do have contacts that in some cases can assist in the transportation of this Impala to you however, you, the buyers will ultimately responsible for the shipping cost and arrangements.  I am fair and easy to deal with.   Please have your finances in order and be prepared to submit a $1000.00 deposit, via paypal upon winning the auction with the balance to be paid in full no later than 7 days following the auction conclusion.  Payments preferred are cash in person or bank wire transfer. 

Just a note.  I have this SS for sale locally at my dealership, so it is possible it may sell before the end of this auction.  I will accept offers here at our brick and mortar dealership.  If it sold early, I reserve the right to end the auction before in is completed.  Your offers will also be considered.  Many of these cars sell quickly I have found in completed auctions prior to this one.

Enjoy the auction and Good luck to you.

Kurt

Chevy Corvette Stingray picks up another award, this time from Automobile

Mon, 18 Nov 2013

The new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray has picked up another buff book accolade after capturing Road and Track's Performance Car of the Year award. The seventh-generation of America's sports car (sorry Viper, Mustang, et al.) has been named Automobile Magazine's Automobile of the Year.
Automobile's award to the Corvette over competitors is the mirror image of its rival Motor Trend, which named the Cadillac CTS its car of the year over the C7. The CTS was, according to the Automobile team, the closest contender to the mighty Stingray. Great news all around for General Motors it seems.
As for what pushed the Corvette past its distant, four-door cousin, Automobile commended its excellent, 6.2-liter V8 calling the car's performance "simply awesome" while also remarking that it is easier to drive fast than ever before thanks to steering and chassis tweaks. Following a theme set by other publications, there were also plaudits for the interior, of all things, with the buff book complimenting the car's ergonomics and material quality, while also praising the standard seats.

Watch how Corvette Racing's new collision-avoidance radar system works

Fri, 22 Mar 2013

When it comes to technology used in racecars, we generally expect it to trickle down to production cars, not the other way around. Well, Pratt & Miller has developed a new rear-facing radar that operates in a similar fashion to what we're used to in modern blind spot detection systems, only it is also capable of tracking cars as they approach and relaying vital information to the driver via a large display screen.
The innovative radar system debuted at last weekend's 12 Hours of Sebring for Corvette Racing, and this system makes perfect sense for endurance races like this since the cars sometimes have to drive through the night and in poor weather conditions.
The radar can detect cars even with poor visibility, and uses easy-to-distinguish symbols for the driver to identify.

Corvette Stingray Shooting Brake under consideration by Callaway [w/poll]

Mon, 18 Mar 2013

Callaway has released a few renderings of a design study for a shooting brake version of the C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. The company says it wants to create a long-roof version of America's sports car to offer buyers more interior room and a vehicle with "unique style." The company says it will use structural carbon fiber for the new body bits, which suggests the conversion shouldn't add too much more weight to the Corvette. Along with a few mechanical tweaks, the Callaway Corvette Stingray AeroWagon could breeze past the 200 miles per hour barrier.
Provided that they get enough interest, Callaway estimates they will be able to effect the changes on the Chevrolet for around $15,000, and says the conversion work should be available through its network of dealers. You can check out the brief press release below for more information, or head over to the Callaway site to plunk down a deposit - but before you do, we want to know... do you find this C7 wagon interesting?
