1967 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu

Very rare matching numbers (136 Vin) Original 283 V8 with a Muncie 4-speed!

57,000 Original miles!

Garaged its whole life!

Needs nothing!

 

This is one truly beautiful low mileage, period correct, numbers matching 1967 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu 136 vin car! The car runs strong and shifts smoothly. The body is in fantastic condition, interior is pristine and all of the trim and wheels shine brite! This car is a real treat to drive and is well appreciated at local car shows.

I purchased this car in June of 2012, my father and I are avid classic car enthusiasts and purchased the car as a project. We have done all of the work on this car ourselves.

The car is believed to be a four owner car. The car was originally owned in N.J. I have documentation of its original purchase at Todd Chevrolet, Inc. in Perth Amboy, N.J. on 05/31/1967. (Todd Chevrolet was located in down town Perth Amboy, NJ back in the 1960's. It moved to a larger location around 1971, however was bought out by Sansone Chevrolet back in the 1980's.) The original owner had the car from 1967, up until the mid 1980's selling it to another gentlemen in N.J. whom kept it garaged until 2012. I purchased the car from a gentleman in Conneticut in June of 2012, the gentleman purchased the car from the second owner in N.J., and had the car for only a couple months before selling it to me.

When I purchased the car it was in its original color Mountain Laurel Green and had a two speed power glide transmission. The car had been painted green a second time when it was acquired by its second owner back in the 1980's. The car was in very solid and nice condition when I acquired it, however my father and I decided to paint it a more appealing color, convert the car to a 4-speed Muncie and make a number of other upgrades to the car.

We painted the car with acrylic enamel Kirker brand Candy Apple Red. The body is all original. At the time of repainting the car, aside from repairing a few small dings around the car, the only area of rust/rot we discovered was on the trunk floor pan behind the rear wheels wells. We repaired the trunk floor pan, and refinished the trunk. The candy apple red paint is glossy and shines bright. Since the restoration there are no scratches, dings, or dents on the car. The car is going on 47 years and looks great for its age, the car is very presentable, however this is not a frame off restoration and it does not have a multi thousand dollar paint job. There are a few blemishes and imperfections in the paint that can only be noticed with very close inspection. This Chevelle is extremely sharp looking and a very solid driver, great for pleasure driving, great for taking to area shows and cruise nights.

The car has its original 283 V8 engine, with 57k original documented miles. Never rebuilt to our knowledge. Runs very strong.

I have the original title, owner's manual, GM protecto plate, and original 1967 sales/loan paperwork for the 1st owner.

Rochester 2 barrel carburetor and its original period correct air cleaner. The interior door panels, dash, dash pad, head liner rear seat, seat belts, steering wheel and interior trim are all original and in excellent condition with no cracks or damage whatsoever. All lights, gauges and latches work properly. The car has its original jack and a new spare tire.

The car has power brakes, power steering. The brakes are original style drum brakes all the way around, which are in good operating condition.

The doors, trunk and hood all open and close properly with ease. All the door, trunk and hood gaps are nice all the way around the car.

All lights, gauges and features of the car are in working order.

Further upgrades we made to the car are as follows:

Converted the car to a 4-speed Muncie M-20 transmission (The M-20 has a 1968 date code), with a Hurst Competition Plus Shifter, knob and boot.

Installed a new clutch, new fly wheel, period correct 1967 bell housing and pedal conversion kit.

New rear shocks. New Fisher door sill plates. New brake master cylinder. New chrome side mirrors

New window felts, vent window seals, door and trunk weather strip gaskets.

New rear bumper, Chevrolet valve covers, New engine valve seals and carburetor rebuilt.

New full dual Flowmaster exhaust system with chrome exhaust tips. Car has its original exhaust manifolds off the engine.

New HEI electronic ignition. New front and rear shocks.

New carpet, new front seat covers, restored the seat backs and tracks, new tachometer, new Pioneer AM/FM CD player and console.

New rear interior deck panel. New Malibu emblems on the rear quarters.

Wheels are all in excellent condition, with no scratches, curb rash or damage, and tires have excellent tread.

The car is for sale locally as well.

Local bidders are welcome to come look at the car in person.

I reserve the right to end the auction early if the car is sold locally.

Please only bid if you are a serious cash buyer and have the money to buy the car!

Buyer is responsible for pickup or shipping of the car. I will assist in meeting the buyer and getting the car to the buyer or shipper for pickup.

2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible gives us a couple of looks

Sat, 02 Mar 2013

Put 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.

2014 Chevy Cruze Diesel destined for Chicago debut

Mon, 28 Jan 2013

It's been a little over a year and a half since General Motors first confirmed plans to offer a diesel-powered Chevrolet Cruze here in the United States, and we've now learned that the oil-burning compact will debut under the lights of the Chicago Auto Show in February. According to GM Authority, the Cruze Eco-D will be introduced as part of the entire 2014 model year Cruze range, set to go on sale in the second quarter of this year.
Earlier reports have indicated that the diesel Cruze will be able to achieve fuel economy numbers in the range of 50 miles per gallon. For comparison, the similarly sized Volkswagen Jetta TDI is rated at 30/42 mpg city/highway, but as we found out in our long-term test of the 2011 model, hitting 50 mpg was a piece of cake.
Official specifications will be released at the time of the 2014 Cruze's unveiling, though reports have stated that the sedan will be powered by a reworked version of the 2.0-liter turbo-diesel inline-four found in the Holden Cruze CDX overseas. In that application, the four-pot oil-burner produces 160 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque - increases of 20 hp and 29 lb-ft over the 2.0-liter engine used in VW's Jetta TDI.

2016 Chevy Malibu gets premium looks, hybrid model

Wed, Apr 1 2015

The Chevrolet Malibu was once an automotive icon, but its modern reputation is one for underachievement. A new 2016 model seeks to restore the storied nameplate with improved styling, more interior room and a new hybrid version. It debuts Wednesday at the New York Auto Show. Put simply, "the goal was to put Chevrolet back in the midsize car segment," said John Cafaro, the brand's executive director of car design. In a crowded arena with 2.2 million sales up for grabs annually, Chevy has not been a player. Last year, the brand sold 188,519 Malibus, a six-percent decline from 2013, and fewer than half the number of Toyota Camrys and Honda Accords sold. Despite awards from J.D. Power and Associates and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, Chevy knew the Malibu needed a big change. New Skin, Lighter Bones The redesign has been in the works for at least three years. Although the Malibu is still based on GM's Epsilon 2 platform, the underpinnings are more derivative of the Impala than the outgoing model. The body structure makes greater use of high-strength steel, which helps reduce weight by 300 pounds. Size is more Impala-like as well, with 2.3 inches more overall length and a 3.6-inch wheelbase stretch contributing to greater interior space. A new skin covers the Malibu's lighter bones, and design language from the Impala gives its sibling sedan a fresher, more upscale appearance. To execute this premium appearance, Chevy turned to 25-year-old designer Jaymer Starbody, a four-year General Motors veteran and graduate from Detroit's College for Creative Studies. He described the new Malibu as having a "wheel-oriented" design, and the car looks poised to pounce from certain angles. Though the 2016 Malibu is the same width as before, designers stretched the creases and angles in the sheetmetal to create a flatter, sleeker appearance. The hood and cowl are lower, and the Malibu's face sparkles with LED running lamps on the top trim levels. Inside, the roomier cabin has a new center stack, satin chrome accents on the interior panel and a console storage area designed for mobile devices. Chevy MyLink with a seven-inch color touchscreen is standard on lower trims, and the top model upgrades to an eight-inch screen. Perforated leather seats and ambient lighting are also available options. The cabin was designed to look high-tech, but still remain easy to use, according to Chevy interior design director Crystal Windham.
