1963 Chevy C-20 Longbed. 90% of the truck was painted when I purchased it (including engine compartment, door jams and interior and exterior - looks like semi-matte) There were a couple places in the bed and the hood that are painted matte black. My wife hand painted the lettering on the front and rear in candy apple red.It has a 1970 Chevy 350 with a TH350 automatic. It starts right up and loves to run. I bought it as a birth year present to myself (I was born in 1963) but with no A/C and living in Southern CA I hardly ever use it. I like to tinker and sell so I am usually driving a different classic every year. Body is straight with minor dings and some bondo. All panels appear to be original except the left front fender. It was replaced due to rust and I still have the original if you want it. There are only 3 minor rust spots on the truck (one cab corner and some spots on both sides of the floor. It has a nice white seat that I believe is leather. Title is in my name and registration is current (Not Salvaged). It does drip fluids. It is quick and sounds great with headers and dual exhaust that exit in front of the rear tires. All tires are in good shape and do not show any signs of alignment or balance problems. It drives straight and does not shake. The bed has all the metal strips for the origianl wood bed (a few bolts are probably missing). It is currently covered in plywood because it was still gong to be used as a truck. It does not have power steering or power brakes.The brakes could use some attention. It will stop with one push, but I like to pump it once. Items missing are radio, visors, trim, dome light and it needs a parking brake cable. Original gauges are not currently wotking (gas gauge needs a sending unit). There are after market oil light and temperature gauge installed. All lights work (dash, blinkers, high beams etc). Engine runs and sound excellent, trans shifts just like it should and the rear end is quiet (no howling). The dash is not cut up, but has one ding right in the middle. This is an easy fix so I may repair prior to end of sale. I just ordered a set of 4 new handles for the interior (2-door and 2-window). I have a 100% rating and plan to keep it that way. Please ask any and all questions prior to the end of sale. Truck will be listed locally so I reserve the right to end the auction early. Deposit is due within 48 hours and is of course non-refundable. You will not be disappointed. Thanks for looking.

2014 Chevrolet Malibu gets more torque, more room and inspiration from the Impala

Fri, 31 May 2013

The 2014 Chevrolet Malibu, having stared at the Impala across the showroom floor for a year, gets nips and tucks all over inspired by its larger brother. The 2.5-liter four-cylinder in the base car will get a stop-start system and 23 city miles per gallon, 35 highway, each number representing a one-mpg improvement over the 2013 car. Output is 196 horsepower and 186 pound-feet of torque.
Opt for the 2.0-liter turbo and, while power holds steady at 259 hp, torque goes up by 14 percent to a striking 295 lb-ft (a figure Chevy calls best in the class). The final details include newly programmed transmission shift points and faster shifts, for better engaging and enjoying the added power.
Looks-wise, the grille's been reshaped to be more in line with the new Chevrolet look, a narrower upper grille hovering over a larger lower grille.

GM throttles back Chevy Malibu, Buick LaCrosse production over swollen inventories

Wed, 06 Feb 2013

As inventory of the Chevrolet Malibu and Buick LaCrosse continues to pile up, General Motors will be idling its Fairfax Assembly Plant for two weeks, according to Automotive News. This move comes about a month after the plant was shut down for three weeks in late December and early January for the same reason. As of January 31, the GM had a 94-day supply of Malibu stock while the LaCrosse was a little worse with a 117-day supply.
Just last week, GM announced that it would be investing $600 million in upgrading this plant, but it's unclear what future plans the company has in store for Fairfax considering slow sales of both the plant's models. We do expect a refreshed and more luxurious LaCrosse shortly and an early design update for the Malibu to be announced at some point this year, although we have had no official word as to when either will happen.

Why does the Corvette Stingray have so many vents? Here's why

Sun, 27 Jan 2013

Just looking at the new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, it's not hard to see that the car's design was created with aerodynamics at the forefront, but Chevrolet designers point out exactly what went into designing the iconic coupe in a pair of recently released videos. The videos show the Corvette going through early design phases, including clay models and wind tunnel tests, as well as talking to the car's chief engineer, Tadge Juechter.
Both videos help explain various aspects of the C7 Corvette, but it's the aero tuning of the car that is most interesting. This includes extra attention paid to the lower air dam and vented hood to help reduce drag and lift, while the rear quarter inlets are for differential and transmission cooling. Juechter said that some of these aero-tuned elements were inspired from GM's involvement in racing.
If you have about five minutes and you can't get enough information about the new 'Vette, then check out the videos posted below.
