You are bidding on a 1963 chevy impala, this beauty has the rare anniversary gold paint, in the early 80s the car was purchased from an estate sale in Kentucky, which it only had 8,000 miles at that time, i have pictures of the car when it was original it was very clean with hardly any rust at all, these pictures will be included in the sale. In 2001 the impala recieved a frame off restoration,which I also have the pictures of that being done as well which will also be included in the sale.The 283 automatic car became a 350 4 speed manual at this time, I do have the original 283 if the winning bidder would like it. Im sure it would need to be rebuilt after years of sitting.The frame off was done right,every nut and bolt was replaced or restored as well,the frame,trunk floor boards, are solid with no rust since the restore the car has less than 4000 miles it has never seen rain,snow,salt etc. I am selling this car because I am down sizing and no longer have a home for it I will include as many pics as ebay will let me including the frame sitting on 4 tires. I have to sell quick so this will be a no reserve 5 day auction so please bid early and often for you will not be dissapointed. This car can be filled up and driven anywhere, I took one last 2 hour cruise yesterday and again would drive it anywhere,I felt like we should spend one more day together,before she gets her new owner, as I stated the car has to go so if your not gonna follow through please do not bid. Winnning bidder must immediately give a $1000 deposit through pay pal and the car must be picked up before June 5TH because of my down sizing I am forced to leave the state, so if you cant pick it up by 6/5/13 please dont bid.I am willing to pick anyone up at Chicagos Midway Airport if they need a ride, again this car can be driven anywhere with confidence,motor,tranny,lights, brakes, etc are all in working order,there are a couple flaws,a ding in the chrome here or there,a little chip in the steering wheel,nothing that is gonna cause the winner any headaches. There are absolutely no leaks ever under the car its been in my garage for years with no puddles,of any type,so no worries there.Again I hate the fact of selling it but there is no place for it where I am going,and I want her to have the home she deserves, as she has had the past 30 some yrs or so I also have the original owners manual,the original Kentucky plate that was on the car when it was registered in 1963 to its first owner I am the second. The Impala turned 50 this year and is near perfect,but remember she is 50 and the restore was 12 years ago, so its not percect,but it will win some shows thats for sure,there is no holes in dash, the original am stero sits in it still, so if you are looking for a car with jams you will have to buy some. The tires are good,brakes good I could go on and but I will let you judge, I have a crazy work schedule,so If there are any questions I will answer as fast as I can. The car must be paid in full at time of pick-up minus the $1000 deposit thru pay pal. The title will be signed over to the winner and off you go in your classic 1963 Impala that will ony increase in value as the years pass by. Again bid with confidence, I dont have a ton of feedback but its 100% I tell the truth. The car is all there you will not be dissapointed. Thanks for your interest,good luck and Happy Bidding. I have had over 70 questions on the car,and most of them wanted a buy it now so I added that to the listing. Also about the miles the car had 8000 roughly on it when I purchased,when it thru the restore a 350 crate motor and a brand new muncie 4 speed where installed so the motor and tranny have approximately 4000 miles thats the bottom line the car now has almost 12,000 and drive train only 4000 thanks and Good Luck. The car may be sold at anytime,during this auction and if somebody wants to make a reasonable offer feel free I want to sell asap but its not a must and in my opinion the buy it now is $10,000 to cheap. There are not many of these around,and this one is a turn key car,drive it store it collect it whatever your pleasure.

Chevy might've pulled out of NASCAR if it weren't for new Gen 6 car
Wed, 20 Feb 2013We've been on the fence with NASCAR for some time now. On one hand, it's some of the closest racing anywhere in motorsports, with actual passing and door-handle-to-door-handle action as a matter of course. But on the other, it's become template racing - a personality-driven sport more about the drivers than any sort of loyalty to a particular automaker. The Car Of Tomorrow format really rammed that message home, with a racecar's identity coming down to little more than headlamp stickers slapped on the nose. That's not necessarily a bad thing in and of itself, but we've wondered for some time what's in it for the automakers, who pay big money to stay in a series that has had little increasingly little do with street car sales, let alone innovation.
Apparently General Motors was beginning to wonder the same thing. In a new ESPN report, Rick Hendrick, team owner of Hendrick Motorsports, suggests that GM would have seriously considered leaving NASCAR if it wasn't for the move away from the COT to the new Gen 6 racer. According to Hendrick, GM North America boss Mark Reuss spearheaded the charge away from the 2007 COT and toward a racecar with clearer automaker ties - cars like the new Chevrolet SS racer shown above. Learn more about the fight for a closer-to-production look in the ESPN story at the link.
Now, if we could just get more rear-wheel drive V8 coupes into showrooms....
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.
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.
