I have for sale an incredibly original 1970 Impala Sport Coupe with 10,535 original miles. It is Champagne Gold with a medium gold cloth interior. It is equipped with a 350/250hp engine and a powerglide transmission. The car runs and drives like it is brand new. I have the original owners packet, Protecto-Plate, Owners Manual and buildsheet.
The exterior of this vehicle is in fantastic original condition with no rust. The original paint has excellent shine and zero checking. There is a small crease that is on the back edge of the passenger side door and passenger quarter panel forward of the wheel opening(Look at close up pic). There is also a brush touch up on the top of the passenger side quarter(also shown in pic). Other than these two spots the paint is in unbelieveable condition for 43 year old lacquer. The chrome and all brightwork is virtually flawless with the exception of a quarter sized ding on the rear bumper. All glass is damage free and looks new. The car also retains all four of its original T3 headlamps.
The interior of the car is the best original interior I have ever seen for a car of this age. It shows abolutely zero wear on the seats, steering wheel, door panels, carpet, headliner, and dashboard. Best of the best.
The engine compartment appears to be 100% original with the exception of the valve covers being repainted. It is in very good shape for its age, but does have some very light surface rust in multiple areas as you would expect. The complete drivetrain is original and untouched.
The undercarriage of this vehicle is excellent and rust free. I have crawled under every square inch of this car and could not find a single bit or rust through or rot. The floorboards, trunkpan, rockers, and rear dropdowns are beautiful. It retains all four of its original spiral shocks, but has had the rear springs replaced. The car does not leak a drop of anything.
I have described this car to the best of my ability and welcome any inspectors or experts to confirm what I have stated. I can also take additonal pics or video for any serious buyers. If you would like any more information, feel free to call me anytime at (636)459-0818. Thanks for your interest.
I talked to the son of the original owner less than a week ago. He told me that he owned the car until 2007. He also stated that the car never had any type of repair or repaint from new. He said that the car had 9400 miles in 2007 and that it was absolutely original mileage. I have all of his contact info which will be given to the next owner.

Indian tuner turns Chevy Optra into Mustang 'Eleanor' replica
Fri, 03 Aug 2012If you are a big fan of automotive oddities, this may come as a little treat. If you are a Shelby or Mustang diehard, prepare to have your sensibilities violated.
The master fabricators at BigDaddyCustoms are the minds behind what you see above. At first, it appears to be a slightly misshapen custom Mustang, modeled after "Eleanor" from Gone In 60 Seconds, but upon further examination, something appears to be amiss. In fact, the custom shop, based in India, has created an Eleanor replica grafted upon a lowly Chevrolet Optra. While it may take a second for the Optra to ring a bell, you should recognize its badge-engineered sibling, the Daewoo Lacetti, used on Top Gear.
We don't know what star would opt for the Reasonably Priced Car in Shelby's clothing, but it's clearly someone more concerned with the aesthetic than the performance credentials of this automotive mash-up.
Joe Flacco wins C7 Corvette along with MVP honors
Mon, 04 Feb 2013As part of a longstanding tradition, the MVP of Super Bowl XLVII, Joe Flacco, quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, was given a new car directly after the game and trophy celebrations. For 2013, that car is a 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, and it was presented to Flacco by Rick Flick of Banner Chevrolet, a dealership in New Orleans that was wiped out by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 before returning to prominence as the only Chevy dealer in Orleans Parish.
Last year, Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning took home a 2012 Corvette GS Centennial Edition. Manning also won in 2008, when he selected a Cadillac Escalade Hybrid as his reward. In 2011, quarterback Aaron Rodgers accepted the keys to a Camaro convertible.
Though we're most definitely an auto-obsessed group, we did watch the Big Game along with nearly everyone else in America. And we've gotta say, as if winning the Super Bowl and receiving the Tiffany-designed Pete Rozelle Trophy wasn't enough for the multi-millionaire MVP athletes, a brand-new C7 seems like an awfully generous prize.

GM recalling 118K Colorado, Canyon pickups over missing hood latches
Thu, 20 Dec 2012General Motors has announced a recall of 118,800 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon pickup trucks due to the possibility of secondary hood latches not being installed at the time of manufacture. The affected vehicles are from the 2010, 2011 and 2012 model years, all of which were built between November 9, 2009 and August 28, 2012.
According to the official National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report, these trucks fail to "comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 113, 'Hood Latch System.' The hood may be missing the secondary hood latch." In other words, owners of these trucks could find their vehicles' hoods opening unexpectedly while driving.
The official recall campaign is expected to begin on January 17, 2013. Dealers will inspect the affected pickups and if a secondary hood latch is not present, one will be installed free of charge. Scroll down to read the official NHTSA report.
