NO RESERVE AUCTION MEANING THIS WILL BE SOLD TO THE HIGH BIDDER.

 Please be sure to all your questions about the car have been answered BEFORE BIDDING. 

Please also note I am looking for the high bidder to paypal a 300. Deposit immediately following auction end. Please be sure this works for you or I ask that you please do not bid.  Thanks

I’m told this is an original bucket seat with console car.  I will list the trim tag info when I can so anyone can verify that.

This car does have Air Conditioning for anyone that wants to get it up and working. I see it’s missing some pieces.

This car has an older restoration going back about 28 years or so.   I bought this car last year from a gentleman who has had the car since about 1985,  just about 30 years ago.  I am looking to put the funds in another place so someone is going to win a nice old chevy that with some work will be very nice.

This car is what I call a driving project. You can do as you wish to it as you go. 

The car will need a radio. It doesn’t look like the holes have  been altered. The dash pad has a crack. The glove box doesn’t like to stay closed. And the emergency brake and horn are inop. The heater blower does work but the levers are stif. It has a real nice looking inside. Some accelerator hesitation mostly when cold, possibly the choke.  The parking lights work as well as the headlights, tail lights, wipers and signals. I also see last week when I took it around the block it has some brake pulsation. The brakes do work ok as I had some brake work done last year.

The car looks to have just about  all it’s original sheet metal.  The paint still has a nice shine but does have some flaws but nothing major. For perfection you may want to paint it. The body underneath is just about as solid as I’ve seen in years.(as pictured)   I was told it had a replacement trunk floor put in it years ago.  I see one the rear body mounts look very nice and solid with one loose bolt.That still looks nice.   The chrome on the car especially the bumpers still has a real nice high shine  and look very decent.

It has a real nice sounding V8 that I believe is a 327.  Some numbers I found on the motor are T0820GF  for those who may want to verify that.  It also has a dual exhaust that isn't real old and sounds really sweet.  The transmission is a powerglide that shifts good.   

 

The mileage reads 52,176 which I can only assume has been over with it's age.

All in all this will make a real nice toy for someone.

 

It's not often you can find an old Malibu that hasn't been owned by a number of gearheads that have pounded it to death.  This one can be dialed in just the way you want it and be a nice nice 48 year old collector car !!

 

NO RESERVE AUCTION !!

 

Full payment can be made in a check but will take I’m told by my bank about 10 working days to fully clear the banking system so the car will be held along with the paperwork until fully cleared. If paid in cash in person or a bank to bank wire there would be no hold.  The vehicle is sold as is cond.  Connecticut uses the registration and title as one.  Ownership transfer is done on the reverse side in the buyers section. A bill of sale will also come with it.

 

Any questions please let me know. thanks

thanks for the questions.  any others let me know


On Apr-14-14 at 08:29:47 PDT, seller added the following information:

A common question I've been asked is have the front and rear floor pans had rot repair.  I have been under the car to look and the pans look original and look very solid. unless I missed something I don't see any bad areas.  Feel free to come and inspect the car yourself or send an inspection co. if that's easier.  thanks


On Apr-16-14 at 11:01:17 PDT, seller added the following information:

THANKS FOR THE HUGE RESPONSE.  I HAVE HAD A FEW QUESTIONS ASKING ABOUT THE PAINT.  AS I WROTE THE PAINT IS PROBABLY 25 YEARS OR SO OLD.  IT DOES STILL HAVE A REAL NICE SHINE BUT DOES HAVE SOME FLAWS FROM AGE HERE AND THERE.  BUT FOR THE MOST PART STILL SHOWS VERY NICE.  THE BODY ALSO SHOWS PRETTY STRAIGHT. IT'S NOT A REAL WAVY CAR LIKE SOME.  THANKS


On Apr-19-14 at 19:37:27 PDT, seller added the following information:

Thanks to all the people I've spoken to and those who took the time to look at the car.  I have had some very fair offers but think at this point since it's a no reserve auction I should let it run to the end out of fairness.  Thanks

GM recalling 118K Colorado, Canyon pickups over missing hood latches

Thu, 20 Dec 2012

General Motors has announced a recall of 118,800 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon pickup trucks due to the possibility of secondary hood latches not being installed at the time of manufacture. The affected vehicles are from the 2010, 2011 and 2012 model years, all of which were built between November 9, 2009 and August 28, 2012.
According to the official National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report, these trucks fail to "comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 113, 'Hood Latch System.' The hood may be missing the secondary hood latch." In other words, owners of these trucks could find their vehicles' hoods opening unexpectedly while driving.
The official recall campaign is expected to begin on January 17, 2013. Dealers will inspect the affected pickups and if a secondary hood latch is not present, one will be installed free of charge. Scroll down to read the official NHTSA report.

Survey says $25k barrier is a problem for EVs

Sun, 01 Dec 2013



The majority of consumers are more or less priced out of the market.
Electric cars are gaining popularity with the general public, but are they still too expensive? According to a survey 1,084 consumers by Navigant Research, a consulting firm located in Boulder, CO, 71 percent want their next car to cost under $25,000, while 41 percent won't go a cent above $20K. Looks like people are even thriftier than we'd originally thought.

Chevrolet donates 300 vehicles damaged by Sandy to help train first responders

Thu, 28 Feb 2013

Super Storm Sandy took out a lot of automobiles in its path of destruction through the Northeast last October. The number surpassed 250,000 at last count, and a few of those were owned by Chevrolet - cars either sitting on dealership lots or waiting at port to be shipped off. Rendered unsellable by the water damage inflicted by Sandy, these vehicles were facing the crusher. But Chevy didn't send them there.
Instead, Chevy had a better idea: It will be donating 300 of these vehicles damaged by Sandy to help train first responders at Guardian Centers in Perry, GA. Chevy is the official automotive partner of Guardian Centers, which is an 830-acre facility that trains first responders in disaster preparedness. Junked cars are practically a consumable commodity there, where a full-size cityscape simulator gives trainees an entire urban center in which to train for all sorts of rescue operations and disaster scenarios.
Chevy says its particular vehicles will be used "in conjunction with role players for wide area searches, traffic congestion in emergency situations, counter terrorism, public order and mass casualty exercises." While grim scenarios all, we're certainly glad there are people out there preparing for the unexpected. While a zombie apocalypse isn't officially on the list of potential disasters to prepare for, when the virus hits, we'll be hot-footing it to Perry, GA to hang with these guys and gals.
