1969 Chevelle, Malibu roller. Factory Air-condition (Frigidaire compressor is included.) Power steering with manual brakes. 10 bolt non-positraction rear. Door panels, carpet and dash are new. The seat covers will need to be replaced. The paint is a metallic-gray that was applied by the previous owner. It is an 7.5 out of 10 and isn't perfect by any means but judge for yourself. There are some scratched and chips in the paint. I had planned to repaint it back to the original Olympic Gold. There is rust beneath the drivers side rear window and at the lower side of the front fenders. The body appears solid. The glass is free of cracks but has a few scratches. The original trim will be included. I'm not sure it is a complete set but there is a lot of it in fair condition. I purchased this car with a 350/TH350 from West Texas a few years ago and drove it home. I've sold the drivetrain so this is a roller only. I intended to install a LS 6.0/4L80E combination but have placed it in my 1972 Nova instead. The car has been in my garage since purchased. The tires and wheels are fairly new 7 inch and 10 inch rally's with BF Goodrich tires (the have almost no miles on them.)
Summary: It is not rust-free as I have never found a 60's Era car that was, but it is in pretty good condition. I looked for awhile before buying it. I'm pretty picky so I was going to do a restore. It will make an excellent vehicle when completed or you can drop in a drive train and have at it. The original hood is included. Check out the pictures and ask any questions you have as I may have not addressed something. If you need a picture of something send me a message and I'll get it to you. Shipping is up to you to set-up/purchase. I can assist in loading at my house and will work with you on that. I'll include the car dolly's to make moving easier. A non-refundable payment of $500.00 is due within 24 hours. I will send the Title and the vehicle Power of attorney after Full payment is received. The reserve is reasonably set, I just need my investment back, not trying to make a killin' and as assumed there is no warrantee.

Watch this creative way to pull a truck's engine
Fri, 08 Mar 2013Living in an apartment complex has its benefits, but for shade-tree mechanics who like/need to work on their own cars, it definitely has a number of disadvantages. Relatively simple tasks such as brake jobs and oil changes are difficult when you don't have dedicated driveway space, to say nothing of more in-depth repairs... like pulling an engine, for example.
For these types of challenges, a little ingenuity and plenty of muscle are needed to get the job done. Scroll down to watch these four men snatch the V8 out of a Chevrolet K1500 using nothing but a chain, landscape timber and good ol' fashioned brute strength. Good work, gentlemen.
Chevy Colorado, GMC Canyon get updated tachometers due to graphical error
Sun, Feb 8 2015After James Bearing bought a Chevrolet Colorado, he noticed a discrepancy between the truck's spec sheet and the truck's tachometer: Chevrolet said 3.6-liter V6 in the little pickup produces 305 horsepower at 6,800 rpm, but the the tachometer indicates a redline at 6,500 rpm. So either he wasn't making as much power as he was promised, or the tachometer display was incorrect. Bearing said he asked Chevy about it but got no response. Until now. A General Motors spokesman said the rev limiter is indeed set for 6,800 rpm, but the tach graphics "are slightly off" in the Colorado and the GMC Canyon, and submitted an SAE horsepower certification to back him up. If you're wondering how such a thing got past quality control... well, let's just say you're not alone. GM is going to fix "the graphics on future trucks," which makes it sound like Bearing will just have to learn to live with the indicated redline he's got. He could always pretend he's driving a sleeper, with four more ponies waiting to be unlocked in the danger zone for those who dare.

This map reveals the cleanest vehicles based on location
Thu, Apr 28 2016Naysayers love to point out how dirty the electricity grid mix is when it comes to charging electric vehicles. Curmudgeons are eager to jump into any conversation about EVs to enlighten the lucky listeners about how plug-in cars contribute to pollution, sometimes even throwing in a dash of climate-change denial for good measure. (Thanks, buddy. Pray, tell me more about the plight of oppressed SUV owners.) Unless someone buys an EV just because they think they're cool (which, yeah, they often are), they probably have at least a passable understanding of their environmental pros and cons. As many EV owners are already aware, location has a lot to do with any particular plug-in car's carbon footprint. Still, there's always more to know, and knowledge is not a bad thing, especially if one uses it to do the right thing. That's why this handy-dandy map from Carnegie Mellon University is so interesting. CMU researchers have compiled information about the lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions of various EVs based on where they're charged, as compared to gasoline-powered vehicles. The researchers looked at the Nissan Leaf, Chevrolet Volt, and Prius Plug-In Hybrid versus the gasoline-dependent Toyota Prius hybrid and the stop-start-equipped Mazda3 with i-ELOOP and compared grams of CO2 emitted per mile. CMU takes into account the grid mix, ambient temperature, and driving patterns. CMU takes into account the grid mix based on county, as well as ambient temperature and driving patterns in terms of miles traveled on the highway or in the city. For instance, if you drive a Nissan Leaf in urban areas of California, Texas, or Florida, your carbon footprint is lower than it would be if you were driving a standard Toyota Prius. However, if you charge your Leaf in the Midwest or the South, for the most part, you've got a larger carbon footprint than the Prius. If you live in the rural Midwest, you'd probably even be better off driving a Mazda3. Throughout the country, the Chevrolet Volt has a larger carbon footprint than the Toyota Prius, but a smaller one than the Mazda3 in a lot of urban counties in the US. The Prius and Prius Plug-In are relatively equal across the US. Having trouble keeping it straight? That's not surprising. The comparisons between plug-in and gasoline vehicles are much more nuanced than the loudest voices usually let on.
