Model: Impala
Interior Color: Black
Trim: Sedan
Number of Cylinders: 8

I bought this car in January 2013 for 3500, from the paint shop that painted it. The kid that had it painted didn't have money to pay and paid with the car.
The paint job is simply amazing.
The chrome details like bumpers and door handles were all tinted in a bronze like color.
I had a new windshield put on it at the shop and had the car shipped to my house.
I have the car registered on my name, and have the original title.
Items I have bought and installed:
- Aluminum oversized race grade radiator and hoses.
- Tubular front suspension arms
- All rubber in the vehicle, including all weatherstripping, all door bumps, etc
- Basket weave period correct black headliner (no sail panels)
- Full show grade replacement carpet - black
- Full period correct seat foam and vinyl covers, black with red striping
- Spark plugs and wires (Jegs silicone race grade)
- Kit with ALL screws in chrome stainless steel
- 1969 original GA license plate, legal.
- Valve cover gaskets
- Power steering pump hoses
- Rear shocks
- Period correct sport steering wheel 3 spokes
- Window rolling handles (chrome and red)
- Full air suspension ( also know as hydraulics ) with high grade air bags springs, on board compressor, tank, 8 valves, control each independent wheels, axels or the entire car in one touch.
I have included the original hub caps and rings, most of the exterior trim and front and rear window molding, all original stuff I removed from the interior. That alone will bring you around 1500 on ebay.
The car runs well.
The car is almost ready for driving or to be taken to car shows (and win some cash!)
This is what I would still do to it:
Carburetor tune up
Suspension tune up
Install stabilizer bar ( I left it out )
Finish tucking the headliner and the carpet in, cover the basket parcel with black carpet.
The dash works but I would take it out and check all lights and gauges.
Install a bad a$$ stereo :D
I injured my knee and cannot continue to work on it.
Don't miss out! Its like a brand new 1969 Impala.

Kurt Busch to shake and bake (again) in Ricky Bobby car at Talladega
Sat, 19 Oct 2013Kurt Busch will channel Ricky Bobby for another NASCAR race, this time driving a Wonder-sponsored Chevrolet SS, in this weekend's Camping World RV Sales 500 at the Talladega Motor Speedway. Unlike past tie-ins, though, there's actually an element of sponsorship here (the "Me" car was done when Busch was running on a team without sponsorship).
It was arranged by Flower Foods, the new owner of the Wonder brand. Wonder was part of the bankrupt Hostess company, which temporarily exited the US market 2012, and set off the Great Twinkie Shortage.
Busch has made something of a habit of channeling characters from famous racing movies, most recently running Tom Cruise's City Chevrolet livery from Days of Thunder in a Nationwide Series race earlier this year. Busch kicked off his movie-inspired antics, though, at Talladega in 2012, when he raced El Diablo's ("It's like... Spanish for like a fighting chicken") "Me" car complete with a cougar on the hood. He even went so far as to channel the lovable idiot that is Ricky Bobby during the race, dropping a few catchphrases about macchiatos and slingshots.
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.
Chevrolet planning low-cost Corvette under Stingray?
Wed, 27 Feb 2013If you're burnt out on musings about the Chevrolet Corvette, you'll want to go ahead and skip this post. Motor Trend reports General Motors is hard at work on a low-cost version of the seventh-generation sports car for 2015. Rumored to be called the Corvette Coupe, the car will forgo the Stingray and skip the 450-horsepower 6.2-liter V8 engine in favor of a 5.3-liter V8 with under 400 ponies. If you're keeping track, that's a shade of the same engine found behind the headlights of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra.
The report also suggests the Coupe will receive a number of aesthetic tweaks to separate it from the Stingray, including different front and rear fascias as well as new front fenders and a rear diffuser. Motor Trend says the point of all this is to cut the car's price tag, which means we may see a Corvette on showroom floors for less than $50,000 if this car comes to fruition.
