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. |

2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible gives us a couple of looks
Sat, 02 Mar 2013Put away your pixel paintbrushes, kids. Pack up your Photoshop. This is the real-deal 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible in its first official images. The droptop Chevrolet will roll into the bright lights of the Palexpo exhibition at next week's Geneva Motor Show, a four-wheeled statement of intent that General Motors is serious about taking its Corvette franchise global.
Chevy isn't providing anything in the way of further details with these two shots, but we've learned at least a couple of things about the car shown here. First off, the example seen in these images is fitted with the optional Z51 Performance Package - something that isn't immediately evident because there's no sign of the coupe model's prominent ductwork on its rear haunches. In order to accommodate the power folding hard tonneau cover, the vents that feed the transmission and differential coolers have been relocated to the underside of the car. The dark paint color on this example also does a good job of muting the contrasting black front fender vents and hood opening - Z51-spec design details that have proven to be somewhat controversial.
One other thing to note: These two shots also display the Stingray wearing different alloy wheels than the split five-spoke design shown at the hardtop's Detroit Auto Show unveiling in January. The simpler, thin five-spoke wheels should do a good job of showing off the Z51's upgraded brakes, and they'll be optional on the coupe as well.
PickupTrucks.com's latest test results in a familiar winner [w/video]
Wed, 19 Jun 2013PickupTrucks.com has gone and thrown the latest batch of half-ton pickups into a cage match to see who would come out on top. The site put the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, 2013 Ford F-150, Ram 1500, Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan through a battery of tests. Those included 0-60 miles per hour acceleration, 60-0 mph deceleration, fuel economy, a hill climb, and payload and towing. They even threw the rigs on an autocross course to evaluate overall handling. Each truck was given points based on how it scored in each evaluation.
Who came out on top? Somewhat surprisingly, the 2013 Ford F-150 walked away with the gold, though fewer than 50 points separated first and fourth place. Head over to PickupTrucks.com to read the full evaluation and the final results. You may be shocked to see exactly where some of the segment's newest additions placed.

GM claims it's first to sell million 30+ mpg vehicles
Fri, 04 Jan 2013As we continue to put together all the data for the year-end edition of By The Numbers, General Motors has announced that it sold more than a million vehicles in the US last year that achieved at least 30 miles per gallon on the highway. More impressively, GM managed this feat using multiple strategies including small vehicle size, turbocharged engines and hybrid or plug-in technologies across four brands (Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC) accounting for 13 separate models. This number will grow even more in 2013 thanks to cars like the all-electric Spark, the diesel Cruze, the range-extended Cadillac ELR and the Buick Encore compact CUV.
GM's small car sales were up 39 percent last year helping to attain this million-sales mark for 30-mpg models, and almost 40 percent of all GM sales consisted of cars with fuel-efficient I4 engines. In regards to more advanced means of improving fuel economy, GM says that it plans on having 500,000 vehicles with "some form of electrification" on the road by 2017.
