See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Minor cosmetic body defects including small rust near wheel wells, and minor unrepaired dents, notably along passenger side and on rear passenger faring next to the trunk. Interior shows its age. Rear end and brakes need service, and speedometer is non-functional."

1970 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu. This is a classic example of a highly sought icon for American Muscle. Largely unrestored, this car is ready for your body off resto, or a weekend in your garage to transform into the street and strip monster you always wanted. Not sure which direction you want to go yet? That's fine, she's ready for a weekend cruise to the beach or casual Friday at the office and is guaranteed to turn heads along the way.

She has a few dings and scratches, and the interior and exterior are in need of a cosmetic overhaul. This is not a restored, show ready car, and definitely not a track ready racer. It is a 43 year old daily driver, and while it is largely reliable, it does show some signs of its age.

Outside are some minor rust issues near the lower sections of the fender, small dents around the passenger side door, and a dent in the rear passenger faring near the trunk, and plastic trim around the taillights is beginning to break down. However, the body and frame are still solid.

Original front and rear benches, torn headliner, and the dash pad is cracked. The dash is original, including the gauges, and shows signs of age. The driver side door panel is worn, but intact. The rest of the interior is complete and assembled, the windows functional, heater and defroster blow hot air when you're ready for it, thanks to a brand new heater core and hoses; the ducts are clean, but aged, and the vents and pull knobs need repair or replacing. Currently there is no radio or stereo, but the wiring harness is in place and brand new, and ready for install.

In fact, the entire car has a brand new, custom wiring harness, complete with modern blade type fuse box installed in March 2013 by Hot Rods Speed & Custom of Norco, CA. The car is wired for a tach, which is currently not integrated in the dash. Also included are gauges for Voltage, Water Temp, Oil PSI, and Transmission Temp. They also included a basic wire set up to install a new stereo. Currently there is not a stereo installed in the car, nor is one included.

The motor is a crate GM 350 HO, Part #12366576, built 1979, currently believed to have approximately 260,000 miles, and still running strong. It has a brand new fuel lines, fuel pump, water pump, radiator starter, solenoid, alternator, and ignition, all installed this year. Brand new spark plugs and wires installed August 2013, and less than 100 miles driven. An Edelbrock 1407 Performer Carburetor sits on the manifold, topped off with a K&N High Flow air cleaner. Exhaust is routed through a pair of Patriot Shorty headers, into an Hpipe configuration, and exits a pair of Flowmaster 50's just in front of the rear axle with the crisp, distinctive rumble of V8 muscle; all courtesy of Scotty's Muffler in San Bernardino, CA. This car sounds mean, in the best of ways, and has the legs to match.

The Transmission is a 700R4 built to street and strip specs by Hubbe's Performance of Corona, CA and installed in August of 2012. It is guaranteed by Hubbe himself to hold together for up to 1000 HP, and thanks to an electronic lockup with a manual switch, cruising down the 5 freeway to San Diego at 85 mph is nearly effortless at a paltry 2000 RPM....with plenty of grunt to push it beyond 120. Not that I would know, of course.

Taking off at red lights is a blast, too, with tire chirping, snappy shifts from 1st to 2nd, and again from 2nd to 3rd, and all this is controlled with a bump of your wrist on the floor mounted B&M Quicksilver, that functions equally well as you ratchet through the gears manually or put it in drive and let it shift itself.

This tire spinning torque is contained by a CPP complete11" Front disc kit, installed with new front end and bushings in June 2005, and ball joints replaced in November 2012. The rear is still stopped with the drums, which will require attention before you hop on the freeway for a cruise, and sadly, so will the 336 10 bolt Posi rear end built and installed in Sept 2000 by The Gear Man in Garden Grove, CA.

She is supported by brand new shocks in the front and rear, and currently has air lines installed with the valve in the trunk if you choose to go back to an air ride system. She's got a full set of Rallye wheels with beauty rings and knock-off bowtie hubcaps; a brand new set of Nitto NT555R's in the back less than 6 months and 5,000 miles old, and a pair of Futura passenger car tires up front, approximately a year old with about 8,000 miles.

Included is paperwork, service records, and several manuals dating back at least 15 years, the GM spec book, and a Hollander's. Also included in the price are a pair of original Buckets that I had restored in leather and suede by Earl's of San Bernardino, valued at $1200.00.

This car is sold as is, with no warranty. While every reasonable effort is made to ensure the accuracy of the above information, any errors or omissions are unintentional. The buyer is responsible to verify any information in question with the seller.

Upon successful auction close, the buyer will assume full responsibility for this car, to include shipping; however, I will help and cooperate as much as I able to help you your dream car come home. I will require $500.00 USD of the purchase price upon auction close, and the remainder within 7 business days.

2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible gives us a couple of looks

Sat, 02 Mar 2013

Put away your pixel paintbrushes, kids. Pack up your Photoshop. This is the real-deal 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible in its first official images. The droptop Chevrolet will roll into the bright lights of the Palexpo exhibition at next week's Geneva Motor Show, a four-wheeled statement of intent that General Motors is serious about taking its Corvette franchise global.
Chevy isn't providing anything in the way of further details with these two shots, but we've learned at least a couple of things about the car shown here. First off, the example seen in these images is fitted with the optional Z51 Performance Package - something that isn't immediately evident because there's no sign of the coupe model's prominent ductwork on its rear haunches. In order to accommodate the power folding hard tonneau cover, the vents that feed the transmission and differential coolers have been relocated to the underside of the car. The dark paint color on this example also does a good job of muting the contrasting black front fender vents and hood opening - Z51-spec design details that have proven to be somewhat controversial.
One other thing to note: These two shots also display the Stingray wearing different alloy wheels than the split five-spoke design shown at the hardtop's Detroit Auto Show unveiling in January. The simpler, thin five-spoke wheels should do a good job of showing off the Z51's upgraded brakes, and they'll be optional on the coupe as well.

Refreshed 2014 Camaro confirmed for New York debut

Thu, 07 Mar 2013

We've already seen leaked specs and potential spy shots, but the refreshed 2014 Chevrolet Camaro will make its official debut at the New York Auto Show in a few weeks.
Besides a tweaked exterior and the possibility of a high-output LS7 under the hood, we really don't know much else about the 2014 Camaro, but here's hoping for an improved interior, too.
In addition to the refreshed Camaro, Chevrolet will also be showing off the recently introduced Chevrolet SS, making its debut on the auto show circuit, and we'll also get our first look at the C7 Corvette coupe and convertible side-by-side.

Watch NASCAR racer Jeff Gordon put one over on a used car dealer... sorta

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

Full Disclosure: in my younger days, I loved nothing more than tormenting passengers with my behind-the-wheel hijinks. Once, after a particularly artful handbrake turn on a two-lane at around 50 miles per hour, I left one backseat occupant crying in their own lap. This isn't necessarily something to be proud of, but it gives you a glimpse into why it is that I find this ad from Pepsi so damn disappointing. The premise is beautiful. Take NASCAR legend Jeff Gordon, give him a disguise and set him loose upon some unsuspecting used car dealer. Hilarity ensues.
Except that this Pepsi Max commercial is so obviously staged, it can't help but feel like some ham-fisted marketing fail. From the strategically placed aftermarket cupholder mounted mid-dash for the hidden camera to the fact that the supposed dealer Camaro is displayed as a 2009 model (Hint: Chevrolet didn't make any), this clip is about as organic as a Twinkie. Still, we would never turn down a chance to watch Gordon thrash on a rental-spec coupe - only problem is, he probably didn't even do the driving himself. Check it out below.
