Up for auction is this cool, 1959 Impala 4 door Flat top. This car is very unique as its an original Level Air car with its Original 280hp 348 tri-power engine(GB suffix code which is for a powerglide 280hp tripower)! The original color cameo coral is a color you do not see very often either. This 59 started its life in Wyoming and ended up in Colorado. It is a solid car with the exception of its trunk pan and lower rear quarters. Around the headlights are SOLID, the rockers are Solid, the floor pans are solid, and the unique Level air frame is solid. I do have the pans for the trunk from Cars inc. that will go with the sale. Around the gas tank filler neck is solid so all that needs repaired are the pans themselves.
As far as the level air stuff left on the car. The Level air emblem is still on the rear of the car, the shock towers obviously, the pulleys and the valve on the intake are all there. The canister and compressor are missing. The parts are out there and what a cool car this would be if you put the level air back on it. You see clones but this is a REAL level air car!
The 280hp 348 tri-power does run and the car drives. It still retains its original air cleaner. There is only one center carb as the previous owner removed the front and rear carb. I do have some builders i can throw in the deal too. This car is also optioned with power steering, power brakes, bumper guard and padded dash (dash is cracked).
The interior needs to be redone from the elements taking its toll on it. I removed the carpet so you can see how SOLID the floor pans are. The headliner has a tear down one seam but looks like it can be repaired. The front windshield has a few pits in it but all other glass is good.
I do have all new wiring harnesses for the firewall forward. The old wiring harnesses were shot as seen in the photo. I do have new mirrors for the car, i have a rear valance for it and also the stock wheels and caps. (Wheels in the photos DO NOT come with the car) I do have practically everything needed to put the car back together. Please call with questions, 303-929-9660 prior to bidding. If your feedback is below 10 please call me before bidding. Car is sold as is! Good luck and do not miss out on this rare unique, level air, big block, 4 door flat top.
I have a bunch of 59 parts too and always looking for 1959 Impala convertibles and hardtops.

Corvette Stingray Shooting Brake under consideration by Callaway [w/poll]

Mon, 18 Mar 2013

Callaway has released a few renderings of a design study for a shooting brake version of the C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. The company says it wants to create a long-roof version of America's sports car to offer buyers more interior room and a vehicle with "unique style." The company says it will use structural carbon fiber for the new body bits, which suggests the conversion shouldn't add too much more weight to the Corvette. Along with a few mechanical tweaks, the Callaway Corvette Stingray AeroWagon could breeze past the 200 miles per hour barrier.
Provided that they get enough interest, Callaway estimates they will be able to effect the changes on the Chevrolet for around $15,000, and says the conversion work should be available through its network of dealers. You can check out the brief press release below for more information, or head over to the Callaway site to plunk down a deposit - but before you do, we want to know... do you find this C7 wagon interesting?

Chevrolet SS previewed by Holden VF Commodore SS V show car

Thu, 14 Feb 2013

It won't be long before we see the official, production-ready Chevrolet SS sedan (hint: it will be revealed this weekend). And to tide us over until all of the official details are released about the US-spec version, we have this: the Holden VF Commodore SS V show car, a performance-oriented brother to the Calais V that debuted earlier in the week.
What we really want to know about the SS V is what lies underhood, but General Motors' Australian arm is keeping that under wraps until the Chevy model breaks cover this weekend. Nevertheless, it's obvious that the SS V will be a serious performer, with all sorts of aggressive cues driving that home on the car's exterior. Take a look at those 20-inch billet aluminum wheels that hide big Brembo brake calipers up front, the sculpted hood and front fascia, the wide air intakes with LED running lights and the quad exhaust pipes out back. It's like the Pontiac G8 GXP never even left us.
Inside, there's a sporty-looking interior with aluminum accents that mix in with black leather and suede surfaces, all tied together in the middle with an eight-inch MyLink touchscreen infotainment system. It looks great, and again, while we don't know anything regarding powertrain details, it makes us oh-so happy to see a manual shifter smack dab in the middle of the center console.
