1966 66 IMPALA SS CONVERTIBLE ORIGINAL 327 AUTO

Description

PURCHASED THIS CAR FROM IDAHO BACK IN APRIL OF 2011. ACCORDING TO TITLE HAD 130,000 MILES ON IT WHEN I PURCHASED IT. SINCE THEN I HAVE ONLY PUT 2,753 MILES ON IT. THAT IS LESS THAN 400 MILES A YEAR. I JUST DON'T HAVE TIME TO DRIVE IT DO TO NORTH EAST OHIO WEATHER, CONSTRUCTION AND BUSY LIFE IN GENERAL. IT IS A SHAME THAT IT DOESN'T GET THE ATTENTION SHE DESERVES FOR SUCH A NICE CAR. SINCE I HAVE OWNED IT I HAVE HAD THE DASH REPAINTED, PUT A NEW MOLDING ON THE DECK LID. REPACED SOME OF THE TAIL LIGHT SOCKETS AND RT TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY WITH A LKQ FOUND ON EBAY, NEW CONVERTIBLE BOOT, NEW AM/FM CD RADIO WITH REMOTE, I HAVE NEW LKQ LOWER GRILLS FOR FRONT BUMPER BUT HAVE NOT HAD THE TIME TO INSTALL THEM. I ALSO RECENTLY HAD THE ENTIRE CAR WETSANDED AND POLISHED PROFESIONALLY. PRIOR TO PURCHASE THIS IS WHAT I WAS TOLD WAS DONE TO I AND HAVE MANY OF THE RECEIPTS TO PROVE IT: IT HAS THE ORIGINAL 327 ENGINE AND AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, WHICH WERE REBUILT ABOUT 29,000 MILES AGO ALONG WITH THE ORIGINAL CARBERATOR. IT HAS POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES, NEW STARTER, BATTERY, ALTERNATOR, REGULATOR, HEATER CORE, SPARK PLUGS, WIRES, CAP, ROTOR, POINTS, FUEL FILTER, RADIATOR CAP, HOSES, THERMOSTAT WITH GASKET, CONDENSER, SHOCKS, RADIATOR, BELTS AND A WHOLE NEW BRAKE SYSTEM, INCLUDING NEW DRUMS, SHOES, BRAKE LINES, HOSES, WHEEL CYLINDERS AND MASTER CYLINDER ALL DONE WITHIN THE LAST 2,000 MILES PRIOR TO ME PURCHASING IT. POWER STEERING ALSO REBUILT WITHIN 5,000 MILES OF PURCHASE. ALL FLUSHES AND OIL CHANGES DONE PRIOR AND SINCE PURCHASE. FOR THE BODY SIDE... CAR IS ORIGINAL REGAL RED WHICH WAS REPAINTED 3 YEAR PRIOR TO PURCHASE. STILL LOOKS BEAUTIFUL WITH THE EXCEPTION OF SOME STONE CHIPS, MOSTLY ON THE ROCKERS DO TO OUR WONDWERFUL CONSTRUCTION/ORANGE BARREL SEASON HERE IN OHIO. ONE SMALL DENT IN THE DECKLID LESS THAN A NICKLE. CHROME IS IN GOOD CONDITION WITH A FEW DENTS HERE AND THERE BUT OTHERWISE NICE FOR A CAR THAT IS 52 YEARS OLD. FLOOR AND TRUNK ALL VERY SOLID. NO VISIBLE RUST ANYWHERE. ORIGINAL BLACK INTERIOR WITH THE ECEPTION OF NEWER CARPET. TEAR IN DRIVERS SEAT BACK AND REAR SEAT BACK WHICH IS BARELY NOTICEABLE. BOTH COULD BE EASILY REPAIRED AT LOCAL UPHOLSTERY SHOP. I GOT AN ESTIMATE OF $300.00 A FEW YEARS AGO. OROGINAL CONVERTIBLE TOP WHICH WORKS FINE. HAD A SMALL REPAIR PRIOR TO PURCHASE BUT HAS NEVER BOTHERED ME ENOUGH TO REPLACE IT. ORIGINAL GLASS WINDOW. VERY NICE CAR FOR WHAT I HAVE SET THE RESERVE AT. DO TO HOLIDAY SCHEDULE IT WILL BE DIFICULT FOR ME TO ACCESS THE INTERNET TO CHECK EMAILS, SO I AM ASKING THAT YOU PLEASE JUST SEND ME A TEXT AT 440/479-6253. THANX AND HAPPY BIDDING, KIM.
