Described here is a 1960 Chevrolet Impala Convertible, 283 V-8 engine with 4-BBL Carb and dual exhaust. This car was purchase in North Carolina in 2009 and registered in California in April 2011. The car had been stored outside for a period of time prior to being aquired by the owner I purchase the car from, he had stored the car in his garage for a period of time. The car had some rust and frame on restoration was started shortly after I received the car. The floor pans were all replaced including the ones under the rear seat, the trunk floor was also replaced. Repair work was also done on the rocker panels including replacing the other skins and repairing the rails underside, lower quarter panel work was also done. Additional, repair work was done to the rear section of the car which had some collision damage. The frame was cleaned and painted while the floor pans were removed. The car was repainted with original white Acrylic Lacquer paint, paint code GM 936, (Artic White). The interior dash and other metal parts were painted in red as the original. The 283 V8 engine was completely rebuilt and the 2-Speed Powerglide transmission was rebuilt as well, a new seal was installed in the standard rear end. This is a matching numbers car to my knowledge. Dual exhaust was installed although not on the car originally from the factory. This is the only major modification that was done to the car, other than that, the car is completely standard, no other modifications at all. The entire interior was replaced with red/white houndstooth design sold as a kit. Door side and vent window glass were replaced while the windshield and quarter window glass were cleaned and retained. Door, trunk and convertible top seals were replaced and a new black top was installed. The push button radio works well, but I was not able to hook up the rear seat back speaker. The car was registered for the first time in California in April, 2011. I estimate that the car has been driven less than 2k miles since restoration work was completed at that time. The DMV registration records from North Carolina show that the car has had only one registered owner before, this owner had the car registered for about ten years starting from the time the car was purchased new in 1959, accordingly, I am the second registered owner. The car rides very well and has plenty of power, it looks beautiful and driving it on the road turns many heads and I receive many thumbs up. On parking lots people stop and ask questions, many from the older generation say that they, a friend or a family member, used to own one of these, I ask where is it now? and why did you get rid of it?, there is usually no answer. The reason I am selling this car is that I am running out of space on my property. I have bought several other cars like it that I restore as a hobby, so something has to go. Please let me know if you have any questions about the car, I will be sure to get back to you as soon as possible.

Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too
Fri, 07 Dec 2012We 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.
Use this PowerPoint when convincing your spouse to let you buy a Corvette
Thu, 14 Feb 2013When you are not the one in charge of the purse strings, creativity is a must when trying to get the string-holder to bankroll that next shiny object you just can't live without.
When I was a kid, I decided that life wasn't worth living if it weren't in pursuit of owning a GMC Typhoon. My 12-year-old self crafted a fiscal strategy that, when combined with my offer of a 49-percent share of ownership in the car in return for my parents' contribution of 80-percent of the purchase price, would see me behind the wheel of a Typhoon by the time I hit college. They walked away from the negotiating table and, the economic climate of the 8th grade being what it was at the time, another partner wasn't found before the Typhoon was discontinued.
Roy El-Rayes, however, has succeeded where 12-year-old me failed, and he did it by using the sort of professionalism that only a PowerPoint presentation can provide, along with some humor and bold-faced flattery.
Read This: Auto Extremist advocates for Corvette as brand with multiple models [w/poll]
Fri, 25 Jan 2013The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette really grinds Peter De Lorenzo's gears. Or, more accurately, the self-anointed Auto Extremist has an issue with what he sees as mismanagement of the legendary sports car by General Motors executives. In a new editorial on his website, De Lorenzo argues it's time to split Corvette off from Chevrolet to create an all-new brand, complete with a model range with at least three new takes on the sports car. Capable of fully leveraging the successes of the Corvette Racing program and brandishing the full might of GM's technical prowess, the Corvette brand would theoretically give Porsche something to sweat over.
Sure, that sounds like a party, but given GM's troubled track record when it comes to launching (let alone managing) brands, we say that's slippery slope that could just as easily end with the whole Corvette franchise in the scrap bin. Either way, the notion is certainly an interesting one. Head over to Auto Extremist to take in the full editorial, and then let us know what you think in Comments. Should GM split off its most storied nameplate?
