1963 Chevrolet Impala Ss Sport Coupe on 2040-cars
Chattanooga, Tennessee, United States
|
I am relisting this car due to a local sale falling through. This is a rare opportunity to own a very nice and solid, matching numbers 1963 Impala Sport Coupe SS with a 300HP Turbo Fire 327 (factory tach and double hump heads) and a 4 speed transmission. Based on the prior owner’s comments and condition of the car, I believe the car’s actual mileage to be 124,000, but can’t guarantee it. The car starts, runs, shifts, drives and stops great. Car rides on almost new Firestone tires accented with its original SS wheel covers. Car has power brakes but no power steering or AC. We drove it almost 350 miles over Easter weekend with no issues whatsoever. Fly in and drive it home! Originally from Texas, the car has been garage kept for most if not its entire life and it shows. Its been in Georgia and Alabama for the past 15-20 years. One single stage repaint 12-15 years ago back to original color (adobe beige) still looks very good with only a couple of blemishes and paint chips here and there. There is barely any rust anywhere on the entire car, with the possible exception of 2 or 3 small spots less than the size of a pencil eraser on left rear quarter, just above exhaust. This may be from the exhaust heat as the prior owner says they have been there and not grown for years. Body is very straight and solid, as is undercarriage. Chrome, stainless steel and glass is all there and in great condition. I believe it is original. Interior (cordovan brown) appears to be original and is in great condition with the exception of a little wear and tear on the driver’s seat and a place or two on the door panels. All gauges, knobs, wipers, heater, vents, etc. work properly except for clock and fuel gauge which won’t register above 1/2 tank. Radio is aftermarket with cassette player. The car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end auction at any time. Buyer will be provided with a clear and open GA title. $500 deposit due within 24 hours of auction end. Balance should be paid within 3 days of auction end. Buyer should have car picked up within 10 days of auction end. I have 4 kids and I’d hate for one of them to scratch or damage the car while it sat here in the garage.
Please email any questions and I’ll be in touch ASAP. I have more pictures as well. If there is anything specific, please let me know and I’ll accommodate you as best as I can.
On May-12-14 at 18:01:37 PDT, seller added the following information: Wanted to confirm that this was a matching numbers car. Engine block reads S190397. I tried to take picture but haven't been able to get a good one. |

Race Recap: 2013 Indianapolis 500 better than Bollywood; all the emotion, none of the music [spoilers]
Mon, 27 May 2013If the 2013 Indy 500 were a movie it would be the one expected to win all the little statues come awards season, and if it were an athlete it would have made spectators watch in awe as it broke record after record. And this kind of talk comes after last year's race was considered one of the best ever - the last lap hijinks in 2012 and Takuma Sato's crash leading to a podium ceremony straight out of a Golden Globes tearjerker.
But this year's race delivered more than anyone expected, from the 250,000 fans to the commentators to the IndyCar series itself and, finally, to the guy who hopped through a two-mile window on Lap 197 to take the lead and keep it until the end.
GM claims it's first to sell million 30+ mpg vehicles
Fri, 04 Jan 2013As we continue to put together all the data for the year-end edition of By The Numbers, General Motors has announced that it sold more than a million vehicles in the US last year that achieved at least 30 miles per gallon on the highway. More impressively, GM managed this feat using multiple strategies including small vehicle size, turbocharged engines and hybrid or plug-in technologies across four brands (Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC) accounting for 13 separate models. This number will grow even more in 2013 thanks to cars like the all-electric Spark, the diesel Cruze, the range-extended Cadillac ELR and the Buick Encore compact CUV.
GM's small car sales were up 39 percent last year helping to attain this million-sales mark for 30-mpg models, and almost 40 percent of all GM sales consisted of cars with fuel-efficient I4 engines. In regards to more advanced means of improving fuel economy, GM says that it plans on having 500,000 vehicles with "some form of electrification" on the road by 2017.
Scroll down for the full list of GM's million 30+ mpg cars as well as an informative press release.
Steve McQueen's last movie car, now Pawn Stars-owned, up for auction [w/video]
Sun, 03 Feb 2013The last car Steve McQueen ever drove in a movie is officially up for auction. The 1951 Chevrolet Styline DeLuxe Convertible you see above is now owned by none other than Rick Harrison of Pawn Stars fame, but once ferried McQueen around the set of his last film, 1980's The Hunter. That flick saw the Bullit star play a bumbling bounty hunter and didn't exactly set the box office on fire. McQueen bought the car after production wrapped, and four years later it sold at his estate sale at the Imperial Palace in Las Vegas.
Flash forward to 2003, and the convertible received a full restoration back to near-stock specifications. Hagerty Insurance estimates the car to be worth around $45,000 without the significant providence. Given its ties to one of film's most popular gearheads, the old Chevrolet could fetch up to 10 times that when it goes under the gavel in Ft Luaderdale, Florida on March 22. You can head over to the Auctions America site for more information. You can also check out the trailer for The Hunter below.
