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.

Check out the official 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition commercial
Sat, 16 Mar 2013
The Poncho is dead. Long live the Poncho. Like certain other reoccurring personal maladies, the aftermarket community simply can't let the Trans Am go without another flare up. The guys at Trans Am Depot have worked up a quick commercial for their newest creation: The 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition, and it watches pretty much like you'd expect it to. The footage is comprised of just about every TA male fantasy you can conceive of, from Daisy Dukes and white tank tops to tramp stamps, bikinis and ice cream cones. There simply aren't words for what you'll see below.
Of course, we like our T-Tops as much as the next guy. If you like what you see in the videos, you can pick up your very own TA by heading over to the Trans Am Depot site. The guys even have Chevrolet Camaro-based versions of the Pontiac GTO if the '77 TA treatment is too much for your tastes. Enjoy, but don't say we didn't warn you.
Chevrolet planning low-cost Corvette under Stingray?
Wed, 27 Feb 2013If you're burnt out on musings about the Chevrolet Corvette, you'll want to go ahead and skip this post. Motor Trend reports General Motors is hard at work on a low-cost version of the seventh-generation sports car for 2015. Rumored to be called the Corvette Coupe, the car will forgo the Stingray and skip the 450-horsepower 6.2-liter V8 engine in favor of a 5.3-liter V8 with under 400 ponies. If you're keeping track, that's a shade of the same engine found behind the headlights of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra.
The report also suggests the Coupe will receive a number of aesthetic tweaks to separate it from the Stingray, including different front and rear fascias as well as new front fenders and a rear diffuser. Motor Trend says the point of all this is to cut the car's price tag, which means we may see a Corvette on showroom floors for less than $50,000 if this car comes to fruition.
Why the Corvette is Chevrolet's billion-dollar baby
Thu, 28 Feb 2013Edmunds has worked up a piece that tries to figure out just how much the global Chevrolet Corvette economy is worth, a spitballed guesstimate putting the number at more than $2.5 billion with the proviso that the number is probably low. It starts by taking Corvette's new car sales of 14,132 units last year, which would equate to $714,725,900 (including destination) assuming ever car sold was a base coupe with no options. In the final tally, a little extra padding gets that number up to $750,000,000.
But that's not all. Consider this: Many of the almost 1.4 million Corvettes produced over the model's history are still on the road. There are new parts being produced and aftermarket companies like Mid-America Motorworks deaing business, that single Illinois company doing more than $40 million a year in sales. There are the Corvette events large and small, restorers who do nothing but Corvettes, salvage yards that deal only in used Corvette parts and the Corvette magazines where owners find all this stuff.
And then there are the Corvette-themed tchotchkes, every single one of which provides a tiny contribution to the huge licensing royalties that General Motors collects every year. The article admits there's no way to come to an accurate number, but it just goes to show how valuable one specific model can be to a company.
