1966 Chevrolet Impala Convertible on 2040-cars
Middletown, Delaware, United States
|
Up for sale is my 1966 Impala convertible which has been
in my family since day one. It was purchased new by my grandmother and
later passed down to me. The reason for my sale is based on lack of
driving it and also to create space in my garage for my wife for our
recent harsh winters. The Impala has the original 283 cid V-8, 2 barrel
engine with a powerglide transmission. 86,187 original miles. I had
some restoration work done about 7 years ago which involved replacing
the left quarter panel and patching the lower right quarter. The engine
is re-built and has gone less than 2,000 miles since restoration work
was done. The trunk was repaired, but they
put a patch panel above original trunk floor. Entire car was painted in
original code Y yellow. The car starts easily and runs well and I
can't take it out without someone asking me about it. Frame looks solid
as is most of the undercarriage. Here is what the car needs to make it
more of a "show" car rather than just a great cruiser: New chrome,
there is a crack in back right quarter panel (something slid in the
trunk when I was turning and put a small dent/crack in the new paint)
, seats have a couple small tears, could use a tune-up,
convertible motor is struggling (under $300 online), convertible top fitment when closed (see pics), rubber trim
throughout is getting old, I've recently discovered 2 fist-sized holes
in floorboards on driver side. The car is about 80% and just needs the
extra 20% of work to make it more special. I hate to let this car go,
but I never drive it and it is time for someone else to enjoy it and
show it some love. I mentioned a lot of the bad stuff, but this car is a
turn key and go car that is ready for cruise nights and does not need
anything to enjoy it right now. The top is in good condition and has
always passed Delaware inspection and is currently tagged antique.
I will include new door panels and new carpet which I had planned to install. It is hard to sell this car, but it is finally the right time to do it. I'm hoping whoever buys it will fully restore it to its full glory. On Apr-02-14 at 05:33:36 PDT, seller added the following information: ADDED COWL TAG PHOTOS ON REQUEST |

GM throttles back Chevy Malibu, Buick LaCrosse production over swollen inventories
Wed, 06 Feb 2013As inventory of the Chevrolet Malibu and Buick LaCrosse continues to pile up, General Motors will be idling its Fairfax Assembly Plant for two weeks, according to Automotive News. This move comes about a month after the plant was shut down for three weeks in late December and early January for the same reason. As of January 31, the GM had a 94-day supply of Malibu stock while the LaCrosse was a little worse with a 117-day supply.
Just last week, GM announced that it would be investing $600 million in upgrading this plant, but it's unclear what future plans the company has in store for Fairfax considering slow sales of both the plant's models. We do expect a refreshed and more luxurious LaCrosse shortly and an early design update for the Malibu to be announced at some point this year, although we have had no official word as to when either will happen.
GM applies for LT5, LTX trademarks... are new small block variants coming?
Mon, 29 Apr 2013Recently discovered General Motors trademark applications for LT4, LT5, LT88 and LTX have observers wondering what kind of high-performance offerings could be on their way. A new LT4 would mark a return of the engine designation first used on the Corvette Grand Sport, SLP Pontiac Firehawk and SLP Chevrolet Camaro SS from 1996 and 1997. Supposition at Corvette Forum - which provided advance intel on the C7 like these leaked images - believes a new LT4 could go into the high-performance trim of the next-gen, 2015 Camaro that would be more powerful than the 580-horsepower Camaro ZL1.
Seeing an LT5 again would also be déjà vu - in its former life it was a 5.7-liter V8 for the C4 Corvette ZR-1 from 1990-1994 designed by Lotus, producing from 370 hp to 405 hp. A mix of rumor and hope is that the new LT5 will be a supercharged evolution of the 6.2-liter LT1 (pictured) placed in the new C7 Corvette, and that it will go into the C7 version of the ZR1 pumping out something like 700 hp.
The LTX trademark is, as with that last letter, a complete mystery. If the "X" isn't a generic way to denote the whole LT family, it's wondered if it LTX could refer to a crate motor offering like the LSX.
GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable
Fri, 21 Sep 2012General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
