1964 Chevelle - 2-door No Post - 4-speed - 3.73 Posi on 2040-cars
Lakeside, California, United States
1964 Chevelle Malibu 2 door no-post
First year of the Chevelle! 1963 December build date - This car is old school: manual locks, roll up windows, manual transmission Paint is a good 20-footer, but it needs to be redone. Interior has new door panels, new headliner, new carpet, new (stock looking) front seats, new wiring harness, full aftermarket gauge set (oil/temp/volts) and column mounted tach. The rear seat is kind of custom. I bought the car in New Mexico, and it looks like somebody was planning on really doing up the interior - it's tuck and roll velour. Looks cool - very vintage, and is in very good shape Rims are after-market classic aluminum wheels with NEW Goodyear tires, but I also have the stock steelies with two (2) 1964 dog dish (poverty) caps. (the steelies have new tires too). Buyer gets both sets of rims/tires and the poverty caps. I included pics of both so you can see how the wheel/tire combo affects the look of the car Factory 4-speed transmission with Hurst shifter. 3.73 Posi rear end with new seals and bearings New drive shaft. New 10 1/2 clutch and pressure plate. (receipts for everything!) Engine is a BRAND NEW 350 crate engine from Jegs (have all receipts) Specifications: • 4-bolt main with 2-piece rear main seal • Cast iron crankshaft • LT1/LT4 powdered metal connecting rods • Hydraulic flat tappet cam (.383''/.401'' Lift, 194 / 202 Duration @ .050'', and 112° lobe separation) • Cast iron cylinder heads with 76cc chambers • Block has right side oil dipstick • 4-quart oil pan Engine is topped with an Edelbrock Performer intake (painted Chevy orange), and 600 cfm Edelbrock carb (1405). NEW HEI distributor with mild advance, and brass terminals on cap NEW Jegs performance plug wires NEW spark plugs New exhaust: Headers, Dual 2.5" pipe, Dynomax Welded Ultraflo Mufflers, sounds AWESOME! As you can see from the specs, this is a VERY mild motor (260-290hp). It is the PERFECT base if you decide to build this car into a beast (remember - the engine is NEW from GM - not rebuilt, it's a 4-bolt main, has LT1 rods etc.). Slap on some heads and a cam, and this sucker will scream. In fact, I'll throw in a set of 1975 Corvette heads with chrome valve covers with the car. Engine has been broken in per GM's specs, and has less than 20 miles on it right now. Still needs to be broken in (about 200 miles) before really beating it up. I travel every other week for work, (and did a number on my back making it tough to drive a stick), so I haven't had the time to run it too much yet. Chassis: mostly stock with NEW springs front and rear, NEW tie rod ends -- inner and outer and drag link, NEW upper and lower Ball Joints, NEW front shocks, air shocks in the rear. The only non-stock modifications to the chassis are: * Front Sway Bar - used a 1.25" bar from a 1981 Trans Am with polyurethane mounts. The stock one was wimpy, but is included with the car *Steering Box from a '97 Grand Cherokee. Same turning radius as stock, 2.5 turns lock to lock, MUCH better road feel. *Power Steering Pump from a 1980 Chevy pickup. Needed more pressure and O-ring hard lines for the new Jeep steering box! ** All suspension modifications look stock - you'd never know until you drive it** 4-wheel power drum brakes (front and rear are finned!). I will also include a Scarebird front disc brake conversion kit with the car. I have receipts for everything I've done, and for the work the previous owner did (rebuilt tranny, etc). Also have a trunk-load of extra/spare parts, and assorted books/manuals. Just renewed registration last week (good until July 2015!). Car is real nice and straight - it just needs some finishing touches to really stand out. Because of the age, car is sold "As-Is". Looking to get $18k or best reasonable offer - Car is located in Santee CA. * NOTE: more photos can be seen on my ad over at racingjunk. com |

Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards
Fri, 22 Feb 2013The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.

Read This: Auto Extremist advocates for Corvette as brand with multiple models [w/poll]
Fri, 25 Jan 2013The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette really grinds Peter De Lorenzo's gears. Or, more accurately, the self-anointed Auto Extremist has an issue with what he sees as mismanagement of the legendary sports car by General Motors executives. In a new editorial on his website, De Lorenzo argues it's time to split Corvette off from Chevrolet to create an all-new brand, complete with a model range with at least three new takes on the sports car. Capable of fully leveraging the successes of the Corvette Racing program and brandishing the full might of GM's technical prowess, the Corvette brand would theoretically give Porsche something to sweat over.
Sure, that sounds like a party, but given GM's troubled track record when it comes to launching (let alone managing) brands, we say that's slippery slope that could just as easily end with the whole Corvette franchise in the scrap bin. Either way, the notion is certainly an interesting one. Head over to Auto Extremist to take in the full editorial, and then let us know what you think in Comments. Should GM split off its most storied nameplate?

Supercharged 2015 Chevy Corvette Z06 takes the C7 beyond the ZR1
Mon, 13 Jan 2014
The Z06 is just about everything we got in the last ZR1, but better.
After a bright-yellow false start, here is the real thing: the fourth-generation, 2015 Corvette Z06. If Chevrolet makes a ZR1 version of the C7 Corvette, it's going to be absolutely mega, because the Z06 is just about everything we got in the last ZR1, but better.
