Hamburg, Pennsylvania, United States

Hamburg, Pennsylvania, United States

Selling this 1970 Chevelle Malibu for a friend of mine. He purchased this car a few months ago with intentions of modifying this car and turning into a daily driver. He had some things come up and now does not have the time or space to do needed work and would like to see this car go to a new home.

This car as far as he knows was not an original SS. Information he has on car is from previous owner and he did not go over thoroughly or tear into anything since he has had the car. There is some receipts and paperwork that were included with the car. The motor is a 406 Chevy small block with a 750 demon carburetor. Transmission is believed to be 350 auto TH trans. Rear is 10 bolt unknown gear ratio. Car was modified quite a bit. Shifter was installed on floor. It appears it would have been on the column from the factory. Unknown mileage on the current motor/trans. MSD ignition installed. Steel cowl induction hood installed. Interior appears to be original. Driver seat has tears in it. Refer to photos. Wiring is a bit of mess. Headliner needs to be replaced. has working headlights and turn signals. Both driver side and passenger side windows roll up and down. The rear windows will need work as they do not roll up and down. Radio installed and speakers but does not work. It has drum brakes all around. Has no gas tank. Fuel cell was installed w/electric fuel pump. NOS tank also installed but hadn't been hooked up. Battery is in trunk. Refer to photo. No wipers or wiper motor. Rust is in usual spots for this car around trunk deck, edges of windows, door sills, etc. Believe panel skins were added to the rear quarters there is rust on lower quarters. Body is straight, doors line up and open and close no problem. Chrome is in decent shape some pitting on front and rear bumper. Trunk, floor, fenders feel pretty solid. It appears car was coated with undercoating at some point in its life. Frame seems to be ok. Dual exhaust installed but turn down at front of rear axle. Wheels are 15" rally wheels with center caps and beauty rings. Front tires ok, rear ones could use replacement. Car has a few scrapes and dents. Front driver fender has a small dent. Passenger fender and door have dent and scrape. Refer to photo. Passenger rear chrome over wheel well is scraped. Cowl hood has some chips on driver side back corner. Decent quality paint job. Glass windows all ok. Has brand new lowering springs which will be included with the car. Some suspension work was done to the car (refer to photos) but not sure what was all changed/replaced.

This car has not been driven since purchase and has been garaged. It is believed the freeze out plugs in motor are leaking. Antifreeze has been leaking out onto the floor. Not 100% confirmed but this appears to be culprit. I am no mechanic and am not portraying to be. Please feel free to come out and take a look at the car before bidding. Car is in 19526 area code (Hamburg, PA). Email me

This is a decent car overall, seems solid and I believe has some good potential. I just want to be as honest as possible and explain as much as is believed to be known about the car. Don't want to waste anyone's time nor mine.   

He has clean title for the car in hand!!

Please refer to photos for any additional information on the car which I might have forgot to mention. Feel free to contact me with questions and I will try answer them as best as I can, but please do not bombard me with questions.

Sorry no trades!!!

CAR IS BEING SOLD AS IS!!! NO WARRANTY! Please do not bid unless you plan on buying! This car will need to be picked up by trailer or will work with shipper of buyers choice.

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.

Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war

Sun, 30 Dec 2012

A 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?

Experimental mid-engine XP-819 Corvette going up for auction

Sun, 17 Feb 2013

It seems to be commonplace that when a new Corvette is in development, rumors swirl about a possible mid-engine layout. As is the case of Chevy's most recent C7 Corvette, these rumors never pan out.
In any case, the idea for a 'Vette with an engine mounted behind the driver can probably all be traced back to a single car, the 1964 XP-819 prototype. Built as an "engineering exercise" back in 1964, the prototype was designed with a rear-mounted engine. History tells us that the idea of a rear-engine Corvette fizzled, and the XP-819 was eventually cut up into pieces and stored at a shop in Daytona Beach, FL.
After sitting for untold years, a restoration project started on the car, and while it isn't yet fully completed, the current owner of the car, Mid America Motorworks, will have the car on display at the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance as a "driveable chassis" with hopes of having a fully completed car ready to bring to next year's show.
