Hi you are looking at a very nice ORIGINAL 1968 CHEVROLET IMPALA SS that has been over the years transformed into the legendary 1968 Impala SS 427. This CLONE was a life long effort by one dedicated owner over a 25 year period of time. This is a 427 CLONE, and A ORIGINAL SS CAR. AGAIN THIS IS A 427 CLONE that was done with great attention to detail. The big block 427 engine and matching 3 speed hydromatic transmission are era correct, all the 427 badging around the outside of the car is in the proper place to match the original car. The only thing missing to complete the job is the 3 chrome fender fins that were mounted in the back side of the front fenders and the hood hump that was standard on the original 427 cars. This is a VERY NICE daily driver with mostly original chrome that also is nice for its age.The interior is also very nice and mostly original with the proper SS and 427 emblems in all the right places.. The convertible top is new looking and goes up and down electronically with the touch of a button, and comes with the color matching parade tonuue cover. The Impala goes down the road straight and smooth and the 427 has plenty of low end V8 power. There is no smoke, engine noise, or any problems with this car. The paint is very The paint is shinny and looks very good from any distance , also the body is very straight with no bad body work or paint work and the body is rust free. The car was originally from Texas when bought new and then sat in a underground heated and air conditioned garage so the underside frame and body panels are not rusty and look original. The underside has a little bit of original dirt scale but an easy cleaning job will make the underside clean and ready for show detailing. All the jack equipment and spare tire are present along with some miscellaneous repair manuals. The brakes, factory rally wheels and tires are in good condition and the car can be driven away with no known problems. Overall I would say that this Impala SS is a VERY nice daily driver that with a little bit of detail would be a very nice car to take to shows on weekends or cruise on hot summer nights.and will maintain or increase in value in the future. I also have the original owners manual and PROTECTO PLATE

2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray convertible headed for Geneva debut
Mon, 28 Jan 2013While most of the world is still coming down from all the hype surrounding the debut of the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this month, we're already looking to the future. And according to Autoweek, the next chapter in the C7 story will unfold at the Geneva Motor Show in March. That's right, General Motors is reportedly using the Swiss stage as its venue to debut the Corvette Stingray convertible.
If this strikes you as odd, you aren't alone. After all, with a car that's such an American icon, we'd fully expect Chevrolet to unveil it here on our shores in either Chicago or New York. But according to Autoweek, GM is looking to boost export sales of its halo car, and since the C7 was engineered to compete with the world's best and brightest, showing it off in Geneva is somewhat of a smart move. What's more, those with sharp memories will recall that GM used the Geneva expo to debut the sixth-generation C6 Corvette convertible back in March 2004, so there's also a precedent.
Details surrounding the Corvette Stingray convertible are still slim, though we fully expect the 6.2-liter V8 and choice of either six-speed automatic or seven-speed manual transmissions to carry over unchanged. Prototypes spotted on the road showed the car fitted with a cloth convertible roof, as well.
GM recalls select Chevy Cruze, Sonic and Buick Verano models over airbag issue
Wed, 14 Nov 2012General Motors is recalling certain 2012 Buick Verano, Chevrolet Cruze and Sonic models due to a defect in the driver's airbag system. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the airbag has a shorting bar which may contact two internal terminals. If that happens during a crash, the supplemental restraint may not deploy, increasing the risk of driver injury. The recall includes a total of 2,949 units.
GM will contact owners and replace the steering wheel airbag coil at no cost. At this point, it's unclear when the recall will begin, though owners may contact the automaker at 1-800-521-7300 for more information. You may also take a closer look at the full NHTSA notice below.
GM 6.2L V8 claims most powerful light-duty truck engine title
Thu, 12 Sep 2013General Motors has officially captured the horsepower crown for mainstream pickup trucks with its 6.2-liter V8. The big mill, available in both the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, comes to market with 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, handily outdoing its two cross-town competitors, Ram (5.7-liter V8, 395 ponies and 407 lb-ft) and Ford (6.2-liter V8, 411 hp and 434 lb-ft).
The new GM 6.2 will take a bit of an investment, though. Those that want the extra thrust will need to go with either the LTZ or High Country trims from the Chevy, or the SLT and Denali trims from GMC, which are the two highest trim levels for the respective vehicles. Trim levels aside, if you're in the business of towing, GM has you covered. Optioned with the 6.2-liter V8 and the Max Trailering Package, owners will be able to pull 12,000 pounds, a hugely impressive figure.
We still aren't certain as to what sort of economy the new engine will get, but it'll probably be a bad bet for the fuel conscious. As for availability, expect to see the 6.2-liter trucks in showrooms later in the fall.
