Up for sale is this 1971 Malibu Convertible. I purchased this car in 1997 and have enjoyed it over the past 16 years as a great driver for trips to the beach and
car shows. The car was in good driver condition when I purchased it with a fresh engine and transmission. Over the years the car has received several improvements
such as a new paint job in base coat clear coat and during that time the floor boards were inspected and a new passenger side front was replaced with Goodmark
sheetmetal. The rest of the floorboards appear to be factory and in good shape. I also added new dual exhaust with flowmaster two chamber mufflers,
all new front suspension and conversion to disc brakes, new cloth top with glass rear window, CD player with amp, 12" sub woofer, CD changer,
and four speakers, new chrome bumpers and trim, MSD ignition with HEI distributor, Edelbrock performer manifold and 4bbl carb. Recent improvements include new A/C compressor, receiver/dryer and thermal expansion valve and system was converted to R134. Blows cold and nice. I also changed the wheels to Torque Thrust D's 15 x 7's with brand new BF Goodrich Radial T/A's size P255/60R15 for the rear and P245/60R15 for the front. The tires are new and have less than 200 miles on them. Battery is new as is the Master cyl.
Car is in excellent mechanical condition. All gauges, lights, turn signals, idiot lights, horn, wipers, A/C, Power brakes, charging system, P/S, work excellent. Only thing that doesn't
work is the dash clock. The car starts and runs smooth, the choke works exactly as it should. Trans shifts firmly with no lag at all. Steering and handling characteristics are
fine. The brakes are excellent and in fairly new condition. The disc brakes are a huge improvement over the drums and the car stops straight.
The paint and body are in good driver quality condition. The paint was done in 2002 and the car has been stored inside for most of the time since then, though it has
spent some years outside. Some chips are there, there is a half dollar sized bubble in front of the drivers side rear wheel and a very small rust spot at the trailing
edge of the drivers quarter. Hood has a medium sized chip with delamentation of the clear coat. Passenger side door jamb has some cracked and missing paint in a small
area.
All in all the body and paint are very presentable and shows well. but please remember this is a 11 year old paint job that has seen some weather and highway use.
The interior appears to be the original and I haven't really done anything to it. There are no tears or rips in the upholstery, the carpet shows well, and there are
no cracks in the dash pad. Over all the interior is decent, simply appears a bit worn due to it's age. The convertible top is excellent. It raises and lowers with no issues
no leaks in the hydraulic system. The cloth top is very nice and looks good as does the rear glass window.
All of the pictures shown were taken either this past week or within the last year.

GM dealers unhappy about pickup prices
Mon, 21 Oct 2013The backlash is beginning. Following General Motors' price hike of the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra last week, dealers across the country are expressing their ire over increasing prices in the face of rebates and discounts on trucks from Ford and Ram.
Speaking to Automotive News, Sam Pilato, the general manager at Dimmitt Chevrolet in Clearwater, FL, Silverados are "selling very poorly." W. Carrol Smith, the president of Monument Chevrolet in the heart of truck country, Texas, said, "[GM's] position is that the vehicle stands on its own and it doesn't need a bigger rebate. That's not what the market is telling us."
According to AN, that's the general attitude amongst Chevy and GMC dealers across the country, where the twin pickups are getting butchered in sales by competitors offering up to $9,000 off their sticker prices. Part of the problem for GM is that its trucks are arriving on the market near the end of the current F-150's lifecycle, a fact that Ford has taken advantage of.
GM looks to combat high theft rates on SUVs with added tech
Tue, 24 Dec 2013The Cadillac Escalade has been at or near the top of most-stolen and insurance-loss lists for more than seven years, until it dropped to number six earlier this year. In 2011 it was fitted with a host of new security features to address its easy-to-override features and that has brought the number of thefts down, but when eight of the ten most stolen rides are large SUVs from General Motors, no one will argue that something else needs to be done.
Thus, GM has fitted this same theft-deterring tech to the 2015 Suburban, Tahoe and Yukon. The Suburban and Tahoe will get the steering lock that the Escalade and Yukon already get, plus bolted-down third-row seats to deter thefts like this, stronger door lock cylinders and shields, and side-cut keys to inhibit picking.
Additional security measures in a Theft Protection Package can be purchased for $395, consisting of sensors on the greenhouse glass and interior, an incline/tilt sensor and added "key control systems" to make it more difficult for the men in black balaclavas to steal what you bought.
Expect greater differentiation in GM's next-generation SUVs
Thu, 03 Jan 2013General Motors says its next-generation Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban, GMC Yukon and Cadillac Escalade models will offer shoppers improved interior differentiation. Car and Driver recently caught up with Chris Hilts, GM's creative manager of interior design, who said that the cabins will all feature unique instrument panels, consoles, center stacks and switchgear moving forward. Apparently GM is now aware that consumers may be bothered by the fact that today's $85,000 Escalade has effectively the same cabin as a $45,000 Tahoe. Hilts says SUV buyers want more refinement than their pickup purchasing counterparts - and those same buyers also want their SUVs to have more exterior differentiation between the company's Silverado and Sierra pickup lines. Shocking.
That all sounds good to us, but we've heard this song and dance before. GM made big waves about how different the new-for-2013 Silverado and Sierra would look from each other, but judging by what we've seen so far, GM's stylists are painting in shades rather than with the full spectrum.
