On August 30th, 1976, Carol Hyde purchased this Malibu for $1,750.00. Carol owned this car for 37 years and cared for it in a way that only people from that generation did. I have 37 years worth of meticulous maintenance records. I'm talking OCD level here! Four envelopes full of everything ever done to her baby. I have the original bank check issued, contract paperwork and keys.
The original, numbers matching 350 runs beautifully. All of the drivetrain is original to the car. It has never been modified. The black interior shows like showroom fresh and it is all original. No rips or tears, no sagging headliner, no cracked dashpad, no warped door panels or package tray etc. It is basically perfect, with the exception of the carpet starting to fade and the right rear door panel chrome piping is peeling.
This is an original Nevada Silver car that was sprayed in 1983 with a low budget repaint that is showing its age. The car will need a few patch panels in all of the usual areas, including the bottom of both front fenders, the bottom of both rear quarters and below the rear window. The floor pans in the car have zero rust in them. The frame is sold and has never been hit. The trunk is also solid and containes an original G-78 bias ply K-Mart spare tire. The original GM bumpers are straight and true with a very nice original quality shine to them. The grill is cracked on the drivers side.
The vast majority of these cars have been beat, modified or completely roached by misguided youth. Carol was an adult when she purchased it in 1976 and drove the 2bl 350 equipped Malibu as a commuter car. The dash is completely stock, no holes have ever been drilled in it. The stock AM radio is still intact and works like new. All of the wires under the dash are in mint condition. No cheesy splice jobs, burnt or hijacked harnesses' The fuse box still contains the majority of the original GM fuses.
Minus the 1983 repaint, this is an all original car that is an excellent candidate for a turnkey driver as is. Although I am personally against it, it would also make a great candidate for an SS clone or tribute. This is a very low optioned car with the vinyl top and power steering being the only two factory options. Whats left of the original build sheet is still hanging from under the drivers seat. Odometer shows 82k, but maintenance records indicate it is higher.
If I have missed anything, please feel free to ask. If you need any additional pics, let me know. I am a private party who has been selling and shipping classic cars all over the world through e-bay since 2005, alhtough I recently changed my username to be more in line with my Chevrolet allegience. Please check my 100% feedback and recent e-bay sale of a one family owned Plymouth Satellite.
$500.00 non refundable, Pay Pal deposit due within 48hrs.
Thanks and good luck.

General Motors shaking up its marketing... again
Wed, 13 Mar 2013One of the things that dogs the full comeback of General Motors is the instability of its marketing. That part of the automaker got yet another big shakeup today when GM confirmed what I have been tweeting for a few days - strong rumors that the Chevrolet and Cadillac ad accounts are walking to new ad agencies.
Cadillac, GM's luxury brand, is going into review from Fallon Worldwide, Minneapolis and the indications are that Campbell-Ewald, Chevy's old ad shop, will end up with most or all of it. C-E just announced that it was moving from its long-time home in Warren, MI to a new downtown Detroit office next to Ford Field, just blocks from GM.
The other shoe to drop shortly will be the shift of GM's most important brand, Chevy, from Goodby, Silverstein & Partners of San Francisco to McCann-Erickson of Troy, MI. McCann used to be the agency for Buick and GMC, as well as GM's corporate advertising, and has retained some pieces of business over the last few years. Sources have even told us that it was McCann that did a lot of the creative work on Chevy's new ad platform, Find New Roads. (Not to be confused with a former McCann tagline for Saab, "Find Your Own Road.")
Chevy rolls out Silverado HD High Country
Wed, 09 Apr 2014It's been a good week for heavy-duty truck buyers. First, Ram revealed the Black Package for its HD trucks, then it rolled out its new Power Wagon, and now Chevy's getting in on the action with its Silverado High Country HD. Okay, so it may not pack quite the attitude of Ram's latest 2500-series offerings, but the High Country HD will come as a welcome addition to the Chevy Trucks range to those looking to pull their horse, boat or other trailer without skimping on creature comforts.
Rolled out a little under a year ago, the High Country trim is Chevy's answer to the likes of the GMC Denali, Ford King Ranch and Ram Longhorn. It has until now only been offered on the light duty, 1500-series Silverado, but now extends to the 2500 and 3500-series HD models, as well.
So what sets a High Country pickup apart from lesser Chevy trucks? You'll be able to pick it out based on its chrome horizontal grille, body-color bumpers, 6-inch tubular side steps, 20-inch chrome wheels (18-inch on the 3500 and 17-inch on the dualie) and, of course, plenty of special badging. But it's inside where the High Country makes its mark, with a cabin decked out in saddle brown perforated leather, seats that are both heated and cooled, eight-inch touchscreen with full MyLink suite, Bose audio and park assist functions front and rear to keep those color-keyed bumpers looking fresh. (Though Chevy hasn't yet showed us the interior of the HD model, it'll presumably look mostly the same as the cab in the 1500 High Country in the gallery below.)
2014 Chevrolet C7 Corvette wastes no time zooming into Jay Leno's Garage
Thu, 24 Jan 2013Where else would you expect the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray to show up first? Although this time it isn't exactly in Jay Leno's Garage, Leno instead playing an away game at Brown's Classic Auto in Scottsdale, Arizona. Nor does Leno drive the car, instead taking an 11-minute walkaround of the new American sports car with General Motors design head Ed Welburn, the same man who recently brought by a string of classic Corvettes to the talk show host's California compound.
It is, admittedly, a love-fest for the American sports car now featuring 450 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque, but one that also features admissions about previous Corvette seats like "they were kinda rough," and the explanation that labeling the coupe "Stingray" means not having to call it "the base Corvette." On top of that, Welburn also explains the proper application of the term "dashboard." You can watch it all in the video below.
