Thanks for looking at our latest project that the Toy Factory auto restoration has to offer. Its a 1972 Monte Carlo that is a great start on a nice old classic. The floor are very solid as is the trunk. I included some photos that show them areas. The quarters have some rust just behind the tires under the trim as do the front fenders. The doors are very solid. All glass is good in the car and window roll up and down fine. Dash is very nice. Carpet is decent but could use a dye job. The front seat has wear and will need attention. Door panels are ok with wear on the map pocket areas. It has a vinyl top and shows some signs of rust starting under it but does not appear to be thru. Appears to have a new head liner in it. Tires are in decent shape and are mounted on rally wheels. All chrome is in driver condition. There is NO motor or transmission in the car. Brakes are up and work fine. It was a running car when we purchased it but the engine was pulled for a big block conversion. Its an air conditioning car. I have tried to describe it the best i can and have posted pictures that should show u everything u need to see. But if u have questions or need to see more please feel free to contact us either thru here or by phone at 989-670-2700 and we will be happy to answer all question about the car. As u can imagine, we do offer all our cars locally and thru other selling tools as well as ebay, so if it happens to sell before the auction ends, we will reserve the right to cancel all bids and end the auction. We get many project cars thru the shop but dont miss out on this one, its a great car to start with without all the suprises that u usually get when buying online. Thanks again for looking and HAPPY BIDDING.

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 Malibu gets across-the-board price cuts, hopes to dig out of slump
Mon, 11 Feb 2013To say that things aren't going well for the newly redesigned 2013 Chevrolet Malibu is a pretty sizable understatement. Reports have been swirling about the Malibu getting an emergency design refresh, less than a year after its introduction, as well as having its production at the Fairfax Assembly Plant halted twice already this year for excessive inventory. Now, Motor Trend is reporting that the midsize sedan will be receiving price drops across the board ranging from $300 on a number of models up to $770 on the 1LT trim; offsetting some of MSRP drop, though, the destination charge has increased from $760 to $810.
Without destination, the entry-level Malibu LS now starts at $21,995, which is still about $300 more than a Honda Accord and about $300 less than the segment's top-selling Toyota Camry. This new pricing also drops the price of the Eco, 2LT and 3LT trims by $300. The LTZ trim has dropped by $415, meaning that the Malibu's top dog now starts at just under $30,000, excluding destination.
Here are the new starting prices for all eight of the Malibu trim levels compared to the previous prices for the 2013 model year (including destination):
Experimental mid-engine XP-819 Corvette going up for auction
Sun, 17 Feb 2013It 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.
