1969 Chevrolet Impala 427 Ss 1 Of 2,455 Produced on 2040-cars
Evans, Georgia, United States
|
For your consideration is my '69 Impala 427 SS Custom Coupe. This car was sold to the Volo Auto Museum by the family of the original owner in 2001. It was restored in the late 90's to its original glory. The original motor was blown sometime in the mid-late '70's and was dealer replaced. The 400 TH transmission and 12 bolt posi rear end are original to the car. Other than the car's short stint in Volo, IL, the car has been a southern car its entire life. It went from Alabama to Volo, IL to Vidalia, Georgia, finally ending up in Augusta, Georgia in my garage. I purchased it from the folks who got the car from Volo. This car is an overall nice driver. The paint is nice with a few touch ups. This is a nice, straight car, not a thrown together bondo bucket. It was refinished in its original Garnet Red with parchment formal vinyl top. There is no rust on this car anywhere. The top is nice, with no bubbling or soft spots. The stainless is nice. The bumpers are decent driver quality and have a good shine. The 15" Rallyes are wrapped in newer Goodyears. The glass and interior are nice. The seats and door panels were replaced in the late '90's and still look great. The car runs and drives great. It shifts through the gears very nicely. The power disc brakes definitely do their job. The car stops straight and true, with no pulling right or left. There are no fluid leaks. The air conditioner blows great, but needs a recharge. It has not been converted. Everything works on the car except for the clock. The car was ordered with the factory AM/FM radio that still sits in the bezel and it works great. Have you priced one of these? As I said, this is an overall nice driver. If you take it to nearly any show or cruise in, chances are better than not that you will be the only one there with a car like this, since there were only 2,455 built. The year 1969 was the last year for the Impala SS until 1994. All SS cars in '69 were 427 cars. My car is the real deal, not a tribute. Please call Andy at (706) 836-4410 with questions. I will be listing the car elsewhere, so I reserve the right to end the auction early. Please...serious calls and bids only. Thanks for looking. As much as I'd love a '66 Impals 396 SS, I can't trade right now. Thanks On Jul-17-14 at 07:32:47 PDT, seller added the following information: For some reason when I clicked "enlarge picture when mouse goes over picture" (or whatever it says), it won't enlarge or zoom in. I tried to revise twice. The box "is clicked" but to no avail....If anyone would like a more detailed picture, shoot me an email, text or call me and I'll be glad to send whatever you'd like. The car looks much nicer in person, so please come and see and drive it if you are close. With only a few hours into the listing, I've already had a call inquiring about a "buy it now". My reserve is a little more than half of what others are asking for a true 69 SS car. Thanks On Jul-17-14 at 07:49:25 PDT, seller added the following information: I meant to also address a question that I got on the car regarding the "SS" logo and there not being an "Impala" script on the fenders like there is on another 69 SS that's offered on ebay. The other car is a "Sport Coupe" and mine is a "Custom Coupe". All Sport Coupes recieved the SS and the Impala badging on the fenders, where as all Custom Coupes received the SS badging only on the fenders. A combination of Sport Coupes, Custom Coupes and Convertibles accounted for the 2,455 units. Check some of the Impala sites and blogs and you'll find this info there as well. On Jul-18-14 at 09:43:02 PDT, seller added the following information: Several folks have asked for a picture of the VIN and/or cowl tag. I had one picture left, so I posted the cowl tag. I have a picture of the vin on the driver's side of the transmission and of the vin on the dash. If anyone wants pictures of those, send an email address or number to text picture to. I can only have 24 pictures in this add. |

Experimental mid-engine XP-819 Corvette going up for auction
Sun, 17 Feb 2013It seems to be commonplace that when a new Corvette is in development, rumors swirl about a possible mid-engine layout. As is the case of Chevy's most recent C7 Corvette, these rumors never pan out.
In any case, the idea for a 'Vette with an engine mounted behind the driver can probably all be traced back to a single car, the 1964 XP-819 prototype. Built as an "engineering exercise" back in 1964, the prototype was designed with a rear-mounted engine. History tells us that the idea of a rear-engine Corvette fizzled, and the XP-819 was eventually cut up into pieces and stored at a shop in Daytona Beach, FL.
After sitting for untold years, a restoration project started on the car, and while it isn't yet fully completed, the current owner of the car, Mid America Motorworks, will have the car on display at the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance as a "driveable chassis" with hopes of having a fully completed car ready to bring to next year's show.
2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra debut all-new designs, three new engines
Thu, 13 Dec 2012General Motors has finally dropped the curtain on the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and 2014 GMC Sierra. Both trucks have undergone substantial revisions with updated versions of the company's 4.3-liter V6, 5.3-liter V8 and 6.2-liter V8 engines. In a shot across the bows of both Ford and Chrysler, GM says it won't use a V6 engine adapted from passenger car applications. Instead, it developed the 4.3-liter engine based on its proven truck-duty architecture.
All three mills will boast direct injection fuel systems as well as a new cylinder head design. Combined with a revised piston, the new engines feature a smaller combustion chamber with a compression ratio of 11:1 or higher depending on the application. Cylinder deactivation and continuously variable valve timing are all part of the recipe, and each engine is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission with auto grade breaking. So far, no fuel economy or horsepower figures have been released, though GM says the new engines will best their predecessors in both areas.
Outside, the trucks feature a number of enhancements to reduce drag and wind noise, and GM claims both the Silverado and Sierra will offer buyers some of the quietest cabins in the class. Extended cab models now feature front-hinged rear doors to allow easier access to the back passenger area, and Crew Cab buyers can now select between a five-foot, eight-inch bed or a six-foot, six-inch bed. Buyers with a mind toward going off road will also rejoice in the return of the Z71 package, complete with Rancho shocks, front tow hooks and additional under-body protection.
Automakers score 8 out of top 20 most-watched ads on YouTube [w/videos]
Fri, 14 Dec 2012Who would have ever thought there'd be a day where people are able to skip television commercials only to go to websites to watch them later? Such is the joy of a DVR and YouTube. AdWeek tabulated the 20 most-watched ads on YouTube, and found that nine were car-related including eight coming from automakers.
Volkswagen continued its Star Wars theme with two ads in the top 20, including the highest-ranking car commercial The Bark Side spot at number three with almost 18 million views, which doesn't even have a single car in it. Some of our favorites are from Chrysler with Clint Eastwood in It's Halftime in America and House Arrest with Charlie Sheen for the Fiat 500 Abarth. Chevrolet, Honda, Audi and Toyota were the other automakers in the top 20, but we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention one of the coolest ads on the list, the Hot Wheels corkscrew jump.
Of all the car videos, only the Fiat ad wasn't played during a Super Bowl. Check out all eight videos - in order - after the jump. Nike took the top spot with its My Time is Now ad that has been seen online more than 20 million times with Pepsi's Uncle Drew posted up in the runner-up; some of the other videos include four Old Spice commercials and an ad in which Snoop Dogg is pedaling Hot Pockets.
