1969 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu 6.5l on 2040-cars
Orlando, Florida, United States
|
This car is a custom street rod. I bought the car in daily driver condition, a Malibu with a 307 engine and 3 speed manual transmission. The car was originally form Oregon and was purchased in California, where it had been for many years. It was restored over a several year period in a frame on restoration. Most of the components used were all new and top of the line. A pro motor builder built up the 502 crate motor with top components, Dart heads, roller cam, racing carb, MSD Ignition, electric fuel pump, etc. The Turbo 400 Automatic transmission was built by Art Carr. A twelve bolt rear end was sourced and loaded with new gears. The drive shaft was built new for the car, as were the brakes and most of the other running gear. All these items have about 7k miles on them since installation. All the SS components were found and installed, including the gauges. A fiberglass hood based on the 1969 Z28 Camaro was sourced and installed, as I always loved that look. A custom coil over suspension was installed in the rear to increase traction and allow the use of wider tires without modifying the body or frame. Custom chrome SS wheels were purchased. The car was painted by a pro with high end European paint, base coat /clear coat. It looks stunning in person. The interior is original and very good for 45 years old, but no longer pristine. This is not an original collector car. It is a custom built street rod for driving. It is extremely fast, producing at least 600 horsepower. It is very exciting to drive, and turns heads wherever it goes. My reserve and buy it now price are well below the cost to produce this machine. I have some extensive records of the original car, and most receipts for the components I put in. I change the oil annually or more and the coolant as required.

Chevy Corvette Stingray picks up another award, this time from Automobile
Mon, 18 Nov 2013The new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray has picked up another buff book accolade after capturing Road and Track's Performance Car of the Year award. The seventh-generation of America's sports car (sorry Viper, Mustang, et al.) has been named Automobile Magazine's Automobile of the Year.
Automobile's award to the Corvette over competitors is the mirror image of its rival Motor Trend, which named the Cadillac CTS its car of the year over the C7. The CTS was, according to the Automobile team, the closest contender to the mighty Stingray. Great news all around for General Motors it seems.
As for what pushed the Corvette past its distant, four-door cousin, Automobile commended its excellent, 6.2-liter V8 calling the car's performance "simply awesome" while also remarking that it is easier to drive fast than ever before thanks to steering and chassis tweaks. Following a theme set by other publications, there were also plaudits for the interior, of all things, with the buff book complimenting the car's ergonomics and material quality, while also praising the standard seats.
GM won't sell 2014 Chevrolet SS in Canada
Thu, 21 Feb 2013Allow us to be the first to extend our condolences to our friends to the north. General Motors has announced the 2014 Chevrolet SS will not be available in Canada. The Globe and Mail reports the automaker has confirmed the high-performance sedan won't hit Canadian dealers, though GM hasn't offered up any reasoning as to why that is.
Buyers here in the US of A, meanwhile, can look forward to getting their hands on the 415-horspower, rear-wheel drive SS by late summer. Something tells us it won't be long after that before Canadian officials start seeing individually imported 6.2-liter V8 four-doors in their neighborhoods. Fortunately, Canadian buyers will still be able to take home the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette. The C7 bowed at the Canadian International Auto Show last week, reportedly drawing sizable crowds and interest.
Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war
Sun, 30 Dec 2012A couple weeks ago, we watched a Chevrolet Silverado get dominated by a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty in a fullsize pickup tug-of-war, but in that truck's defense, Chevy's Vortec gas engine was no match for the torquey Cummins turbo diesel. For our next round of vehicular tug-of-war, a Duramax-powered Silverado HD takes on Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.
Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video, with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backwards. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.
It just goes to show, though, that big tires, bolt-on fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect when the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past?
