1970 Chevelle Malibu Runs/drives Soild Car! on 2040-cars
Charlotte, North Carolina, United States
|
I bought this car a while back on a whim because of its great condition,I really don't have time to restore it as I'm already working on 3 other muscle cars.All I've done to it is change plugs,wires and adjust timing.Runs decent,has some slight smoke when revved.Could just be a rich condition.One of the best examples of a unrestored car I've seen in the southeast rust wise.Original colors were Grean/Green.I don't remember the actaul colot name at the moment.All rust is pictured.It could easily become a driver.Here's everything I can think of mecanical wise. The Good, 1975 block 350/350 Engine and trans.Heads are 186 double hump with accessory holes dates 3/69 Engine compression between 175 and 188 checked cold and dry.Aftermarket aluminum radiator. Clean/clear title The Bad, Leaks atf fluid from pump,Balancer seal leaks,power steering works,but leaks bad from box,Car has usual bad brakes associated with old drum brakes on all 4 wheels,Weak springs,leans on passenger side,Noise coming from speedo when driving needle bounces,No trunk or door keys,trunk open with screwdriver,Windshield cracked and weathered badly, The Missing, Trans dipstick is missing,Engine dipstick is broke off in block if you were to remove header there still plenty to grab on to ,so pulling it out should not be an issue,prvious ower just had a Mr. Gasket one sitting on top of it.There's no inner fenders or battery box.Also the plug wires on it will be replaced with others as these belong to my camaro. All rust is pictured The Body, Rust hole front bottom driver door Floor pans solid,small rust spot driver floor board Bottom rear of front fenders have been patched with a lap joint and spot welded,not professional IMO,but functional. "One side pictured" Remainder of front fenders and rad support solid,not even pitting on underside of fenders or support. Bottom rear of both quarters need some small patching,driver more than passenger Inside of wheel lips need the smallest of metal work as can be seen. All original quarters!!! Package tray solid,small amount of rust on weather stripping from deck lid to truck Dash and metal under rear widow look free and clean of rust from what can be seen which is highly unusual Trunk floor is still intact,has the usual extensive rust pitting,if making a driver,you could easily epoxy prime undercoat/thin roll on bedliner and splatter paint the floor ad a mat and you would never know if your not looking for a show car.Chalky section in the trunk is where I put phosphoric acid on it to experiment with rust removal then had to leave suddenly,so it was not removed in time.It will come back off with a wire wheel or I believe if you reapply it will become active again and rinse away with water. All body parts are there that have been removed in pics,Rear bumper is about the same condition as the front fairly straight with bad chrome. Passenger side rear quarter above bumper has some bondo coming through a hole. Driver door slightly sags needs adjusted/hinge bushings replaced Passenger doors outside handle does not work. Really bad DA work on exterior paint by previous owner Overall the car has minimal rust in my opinion and is very straight. This is everything i can think of as of now.Please email me with any other questions you may have. |

Tarantino's stolen Chevy Malibu from Pulp Fiction recovered after 19 years [w/video]
Mon, 29 Apr 2013Quentin Tarantino fans will likely remember Vincent Vega's cherry 1964 Chevrolet Malibu Convertible in Pulp Fiction. In a movie drenched in automotive references, the Malibu is very nearly a character in and of itself, and it serves as the subject of Vega's soliloquy about the kind of man who vandalizes another's automobile. It also happened to be Tarantino's personal car when the film was shot, and was apparently stolen shortly after production wrapped. Now police have located the car some 19 years later.
As it turns out, the thieves cloned the vehicle identification number from another '64 Malibu and had the car registered under the new digits. It was then sold to an unsuspecting buyer. Police happened upon the duplicate VINs while investigating another potential theft. Right now, it's unclear whether Tarantino has taken possession of the Chevrolet, if it has remained in the possession of the fraud victim, or whether it's caught somewhere in the gears of justice. Either way, you can catch Vega's memorable thoughts on the car keying in the Pulp Fiction clip below. But consider yourself warned: the video contains explicit language as Not Safe For Work as it comes.
Chevrolet SS previewed by Holden VF Commodore SS V show car
Thu, 14 Feb 2013It won't be long before we see the official, production-ready Chevrolet SS sedan (hint: it will be revealed this weekend). And to tide us over until all of the official details are released about the US-spec version, we have this: the Holden VF Commodore SS V show car, a performance-oriented brother to the Calais V that debuted earlier in the week.
What we really want to know about the SS V is what lies underhood, but General Motors' Australian arm is keeping that under wraps until the Chevy model breaks cover this weekend. Nevertheless, it's obvious that the SS V will be a serious performer, with all sorts of aggressive cues driving that home on the car's exterior. Take a look at those 20-inch billet aluminum wheels that hide big Brembo brake calipers up front, the sculpted hood and front fascia, the wide air intakes with LED running lights and the quad exhaust pipes out back. It's like the Pontiac G8 GXP never even left us.
Inside, there's a sporty-looking interior with aluminum accents that mix in with black leather and suede surfaces, all tied together in the middle with an eight-inch MyLink touchscreen infotainment system. It looks great, and again, while we don't know anything regarding powertrain details, it makes us oh-so happy to see a manual shifter smack dab in the middle of the center console.
2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray convertible headed for Geneva debut
Mon, 28 Jan 2013While most of the world is still coming down from all the hype surrounding the debut of the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this month, we're already looking to the future. And according to Autoweek, the next chapter in the C7 story will unfold at the Geneva Motor Show in March. That's right, General Motors is reportedly using the Swiss stage as its venue to debut the Corvette Stingray convertible.
If this strikes you as odd, you aren't alone. After all, with a car that's such an American icon, we'd fully expect Chevrolet to unveil it here on our shores in either Chicago or New York. But according to Autoweek, GM is looking to boost export sales of its halo car, and since the C7 was engineered to compete with the world's best and brightest, showing it off in Geneva is somewhat of a smart move. What's more, those with sharp memories will recall that GM used the Geneva expo to debut the sixth-generation C6 Corvette convertible back in March 2004, so there's also a precedent.
Details surrounding the Corvette Stingray convertible are still slim, though we fully expect the 6.2-liter V8 and choice of either six-speed automatic or seven-speed manual transmissions to carry over unchanged. Prototypes spotted on the road showed the car fitted with a cloth convertible roof, as well.
