1961 Chevy Impala. A unmolested, well preserved time capsule. A 2 family owned, southern Tennessee car with documentation including The original laminated TN title, and protection plan book. Original V 8 283 2 barrel, automatic power glide transmission, manual steering, & brakes. Working AM radio, Factory tinted glass, Rare front mounted bumper bullets, 4 rear chrome bumper guards, door handle finger nail scratch guards. & chrome headlight eye brows. Bought new in Knoxville Tn & owned by the first family until 1981 where it had accumulated 87,000 miles, Upon receiving the car the second owner treated her to a new repaint & some mechanical maintenance. {All documented.} From 1981 to 2005 she spent most of her life on short cruises, & the show field { see pictures for the first, second & best of show trophies.} She was last registered in 2005 & has been sitting In a climate controlled garage since then. The odometer now reads 89,987 so between 1981 to 2013 she only accumulated less then 3000 miles. It still has the original T-3 headlights, spiral shocks, spare tire, original style muffler & exhaust. Front tires` are date coded from 1965. The 2nd owner never fully rolled up the windows or fully closed the doors or trunk to preserve the rubber weather stripping while it was parked. Now that is meticulous. It has been recently treated to new front brake lines & shoes & ignition upgrades..All old parts were retained. She runs & drives like a dream with all lights, turn signals, horns, cigarette lighter, radio, gas gauge, temp gauge, dummy lights, heater, & fan controls functioning properly. Clock, & Wiper motor are currently not working. There is some fading on top of rear seat side bolsters from sitting in the sun {see pictures} not too bad for 52 year old original material. Slight windshield scratches from passenger wiper, not deep they may polish out. I encourage anyone to come inspect this beauty for themselves.I am about 35 minutes from Knoxville Tn. Bring a spot rot magnet with you & I doubt you will find little if any body filler. Underneath is solid as the top. 2nd owner kept a log of anything that was done to the car from 1981 along with photos of the car when he was showing it. I reserve the right to end auction early because of car being advertised locally. Mileage might be slightly higher at end of auction. More photos available upon request, or call me to discuss in detail 865-717-6280 Thanks Rich.

Chevy Corvette Stingray picks up another award, this time from Automobile
Mon, 18 Nov 2013The new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray has picked up another buff book accolade after capturing Road and Track's Performance Car of the Year award. The seventh-generation of America's sports car (sorry Viper, Mustang, et al.) has been named Automobile Magazine's Automobile of the Year.
Automobile's award to the Corvette over competitors is the mirror image of its rival Motor Trend, which named the Cadillac CTS its car of the year over the C7. The CTS was, according to the Automobile team, the closest contender to the mighty Stingray. Great news all around for General Motors it seems.
As for what pushed the Corvette past its distant, four-door cousin, Automobile commended its excellent, 6.2-liter V8 calling the car's performance "simply awesome" while also remarking that it is easier to drive fast than ever before thanks to steering and chassis tweaks. Following a theme set by other publications, there were also plaudits for the interior, of all things, with the buff book complimenting the car's ergonomics and material quality, while also praising the standard seats.
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.
Chevy shows much-improved 2014 Corvette interior in new video
Mon, 11 Feb 2013If you want a closer look at what went into designing and building the interior for the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette, we've got just the thing. General Motors has released a new video detailing the cabin's evolution from conception to execution, complete with commentary from Ryan Vaughn, performance car interior design manager with Chevrolet. The quick clip details how manufacturing, engineering and design within General Motors worked together from the first sketches to ensure no compromises had to be made later down the line. How novel.
With plenty of hides traced with contrast stitching and available real carbon fiber trim, the cabin looks to be a few hundred miles ahead of the C6. Given how readily critics derided the previous generation for its cabin, the C7 should make writers work a little harder to find something to complain about. Check out the video below for yourself.
