1966 Chevelle Malibu 52,000 Original Miles. on 2040-cars
Bellmawr, New Jersey, United States
|
Selling my 1966 Chevelle Malibu that I purchased in February of 2012 from the second owner who purchased it just a year before from the original family that owned the car since new in 1966. The car was bought new by a lady in PA in 1966. She kept the car unit she passed away a few years ago, at which time she left the car to her nephew. At some time her nephew had the car painted the the maroon color it is now, as the original color of the car was the artesian turquoise. Her nephew really didnt do much of anything else with the car as I always saw it sitting a few miles from my house. In the spring of 2010 a co worker of mine saw the car was finally for sale and he bought it. He then parked it in his garage where it sat for almost another year until he had to sell it for personal reasons. I then bought the car from him in February of 2012 with the plan of just sitting on it until I finished my current 56 Corvette project. Now over two years later, I am still working on my Corvette project and realizing I just don't have the time to have two project cars. I hate to sell the car as there isn't many original unmolested Chevelles left, but I also hate to see it sit and not be used.
As for the car, it currently has 52,790 original miles. the engine and drivetrain run great, and the car rides very smooth. The suspension feels great while driving and the steering is still very good. It drives very straight with no rattles or squeaks. Brakes are also very good. The only thing I had to replace since I had the car was the water pump as the original had a small leak. Everything works on the car with the exception of the AM radio. I was told that the roof was sanded down and painted with the black sealer to stop some bubbles that were in the paint around the sail panel area. There are a few bubbles here and there on the body but nothing major. There is one about the size of a dime on the lower passenger side door, and there are a few along the lower windshield channel. The floor is mainly in good shape although it will need a partial floor pan just under the driver side foot pedal area. It appears that when the car was painted last time, they repaired around the rear window but never put the rear window trim back on, but it is still with the car. The trunk floor had two small homemade patches intalled at some point also. From what I can see the wheel wells look OK both inner and outer, and again when it was painted last, the lower rear quarters were cut and replaced. The front fenders appear to be in very good shape as they are not rusted at all in the lower area like most do. For the interior, it has the original bench seat with seat covers on front and back. I partially lifted the cover and saw 1 or 2 cracks in original vinyl on driver side. There is also 1 crack on the dash pad. Door panels are in good shape. Other then the color change the car is completely original. It even has the original metal dealer tag laying in the trunk with it although it was removed and the mounting holes were filled in when they painted it. If you have any other questions please ask. |

Sunday Drive: A tale of old favorites and upcoming challengers
Sun, Oct 8 2017Sedans and crossovers dominated the attention of our readers last week, led by the completely redesigned 2018 Honda Accord. It's the Japanese automaker's flagship, and people are seriously interested in finding out how good the latest Accord is. So interested, in fact, that no other single story came close to the brand-new Accord in Autoblog reader interest. Moving down the list we find the equally new 2018 Buick Enclave. The three-row crossover has a lot to offer a family, especially one looking for a nice, quiet ride. If you're looking for the exact opposite of nice and quiet, but still want enough room for you and your significant others, the Subaru WRX that we tested last week may be the perfect ride for you. Or, if you just want to drive fast and aren't at all worried about space, there's the Camaro SS. See? We offer something for everybody. From there, we look to the future. Who isn't interested in seeing the first fully electric vehicle from Porsche? And who isn't intrigued to see the Mission E testing alongside a gaggle of Teslas? A brand-new Jeep is always a big deal, especially when it's the revival of a classic nameplate like the Grand Wagoneer. And finally, we have something completely different: the Rezvani Tank. As always, tune in to Autoblog next week for a front-row seat to all the happenings worth following in the automotive industry. 2018 Honda Accord First Drive | Feels like home again 2018 Buick Enclave First Drive Review | Fortress of quietude 2018 Subaru WRX Drivers' Notes | Turbo traditionalist 2018 Chevy Camaro SS Drivers' Notes | Demonstrative power, middling interior Porsche Mission E caught testing against Teslas Jeep three-row SUV caught on public roads — Grand Wagoneer, perhaps?

How Chevy used popular Instagram user to promote 2016 Volt
Thu, Feb 26 2015A picture is worth a thousand words. When it comes to Chevrolet and its Volt extended-range plug-in, the automaker is hoping pictures can be turned into a few more buyers. The company extended a little love to one popular social-media practitioner to see if the trick works. Former biochemical engineer Kevin Lu started his Instagram account a couple of years ago during a road trip, and the quality of his shots has attracted about 181,000 followers. With that popularity in mind, Chevy brought Lu up to Detroit to check out the unveiling of the next-generation Volt at the Detroit Auto Show last month. Lu also got to see the Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly factory where the Volt is built, Automotive News reports. As for the next-gen Volt, Chevy says a more efficient powertrain and lighter battery help give the car an all-electric range of up to 50 miles and a total driving distance of more than 400 miles. Chevy also touts the model's streamlined grille and (tight) seating for three in the rear. General Motors hopes a combination of those improvements and exposure from sources such as Lu and his Instagram account (and some sleepy ads, apparently) revitalize sales of the model. Last year, Volt sales fell 19 percent to 18,805 units.
