1970 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu. This is a classic example of a highly sought icon for American Muscle. Largely unrestored, this car is ready for your body off resto, or a weekend in your garage to transform into the street and strip monster you always wanted. Not sure which direction you want to go yet? That's fine, she's ready for a weekend cruise to the beach or casual Friday at the office and is guaranteed to turn heads along the way. 


She has a few dings and scratches, and the interior and exterior are in need of a cosmetic overhaul. This is not a restored, show ready car, and definitely not a track ready racer. It is a 43 year old daily driver, and while it is largely reliable, it does show some signs of its age.

Outside are some minor rust issues near the lower sections of the fender, small dents around the passenger side door, and a dent in the rear passenger faring near the trunk, and plastic trim around the taillights is beginning to break down. However, the body and frame are still solid. 

Original front and rear benches, torn headliner, and the dash pad is cracked. The dash is original, including the gauges, and shows signs of age. The driver side door panel is worn, but intact. The rest of the interior is complete and assembled, the windows functional, heater and defroster blow hot air when you're ready for it, thanks to a brand new heater core and hoses; the ducts are clean, but aged, and the vents and pull knobs need repair or replacing. Currently there is no radio or stereo, but the wiring harness is in place and brand new, and ready for install. 

In fact, the entire car has a brand new, custom wiring harness, complete with modern blade type fuse box installed in March 2013 by Hot Rods Speed & Custom of Norco, CA. The car is wired for a tach, which is currently not integrated in the dash. Also included are gauges for Voltage, Water Temp, Oil PSI, and Transmission Temp. They also included a basic wire set up to install a new stereo. Currently there is not a stereo installed in the car, nor is one included.

The motor is a crate GM 350 HO, Part #12366576, built 1979, currently believed to have approximately 260,000 miles, and still running strong. It has a brand new fuel lines, fuel pump, water pump, radiator starter, solenoid, alternator, and ignition, all installed this year. Brand new spark plugs and wires installed August 2013, and less than 100 miles driven. An Edelbrock 1407 Performer Carburetor sits on the manifold, topped off with a K&N High Flow air cleaner. Exhaust is routed through a pair of Patriot Shorty headers, into an Hpipe configuration, and exits a pair of Flowmaster 50's just in front of the rear axle with the crisp, distinctive rumble of V8 muscle; all courtesy of Scotty's Muffler in San Bernardino, CA. This car sounds mean, in the best of ways, and has the legs to match.

The Transmission is a 700R4 built to street and strip specs by Hubbe's Performance of Corona, CA and installed in August of 2012. It is guaranteed by Hubbe himself to hold together for up to 1000 HP, and thanks to an electronic lockup with a manual switch, cruising down the 5 freeway to San Diego at 85 mph is nearly effortless at a paltry 2000 RPM....with plenty of grunt to push it beyond 120. Not that I would know, of course. 
Taking off at red lights is a blast, too, with tire chirping, snappy shifts from 1st to 2nd, and again from 2nd to 3rd, and all this is controlled with a bump of your wrist on the floor mounted B&M Quicksilver, that functions equally well as you ratchet through the gears manually or put it in drive and let it shift itself. 

This tire spinning torque is contained by a CPP complete11" Front disc kit, installed with new front end and bushings in June 2005, and ball joints replaced in November 2012. The rear is still stopped with the drums, which will require attention before you hop on the freeway for a cruise, and sadly, so will the 336 10 bolt Posi rear end built and installed in Sept 2000 by The Gear Man in Garden Grove, CA. 

She is supported by brand new shocks in the front and rear, and currently has air lines installed with the valve in the trunk if you choose to go back to an air ride system. She's got a full set of Rallye wheels with beauty rings and knock-off bowtie hubcaps; a brand new set of Nitto NT555R's in the back less than 6 months and 5,000 miles old, and a pair of Futura passenger car tires up front, approximately a year old with about 8,000 miles.

Included is paperwork, service records, and several manuals dating back at least 15 years, the GM spec book, and a Hollander's. Also included in the price are a pair of original Buckets that I had restored in leather and suede by Earl's of San Bernardino, valued at $1200.00.

This car is sold as is, with no warranty. While every reasonable effort is made to ensure the accuracy of the above information, any errors or omissions are unintentional. The buyer is responsible to verify any information in question with the seller.

Upon successful auction close, the buyer will assume full responsibility for this car, to include shipping; however, I will help and cooperate as much as I able to help you your dream car come home. I will require $500.00 USD of the purchase price upon auction close, and the remainder within 7 business days.

2016 Chevy Camaro to drop 200 pounds

Mon, Mar 30 2015

The sixth-generation Chevrolet Camaro makes its grand debut on May 16 at a big celebration on Detroit's Belle Isle. Until then, Chevy's strategy seems to be showing off the pony car's new components piece by piece. With the exhaust headers and front end already on display, the Bowtie is now giving a glimpse at some of the upcoming model's aluminum components. The Camaro is going on a diet for its latest generation, and Chevy claims that the switch to the Alpha platform and other new components shed over 200 pounds compared to the current model. That will put the pony car at around 3,500 pounds. The lower weight will contributes to better fuel economy, quicker acceleration and more direct handling, according to the automaker. Among the changes are aluminum front and rear suspension assemblies (pictured above) that weigh 21 percent less than the current units. Also, Chevy promises in its announcement "links on some models feature an intricate, structurally optimized design made with a rigid composite material that's even lighter than aluminum." In addition to these improved parts, the Camaro uses the lightweight metal for the beam that supports the instrument panel to save 9.7 pounds more. The only two pieces reportedly carrying over to the latest design are Chevy's bowtie and SS badges, and at least one engine in the range is known to be a version of the 6.2-liter LT1 V8. With over a month until the next Camaro's debut, we might get a glimpse of even more of the car's new parts in the coming weeks. Related Video: 2016 Camaro Does More with Less New model is at least 200 pounds lighter than current car 2015-03-30 DETROIT – For the all-new, 2016 Chevrolet Camaro, the team was challenged to improve the handling, acceleration and fuel economy of the award-winning current model. To meet all three objectives, the team focused on a singular mission: reduce mass. By obsessively searching for opportunities to save ounces, the team pared more than 200 pounds off the Camaro compared with the fifth-generation model. As a result, the Camaro does more with less, according to Al Oppenheiser, Camaro chief engineer: "We kept the cornering confidence and control that make the Gen 5 Camaro 1LE so fun to drive, and added a greater sense of agility," he said. "The new Camaro brakes harder, flicks into corners more quickly, and drives out of the corner faster.

GM recalling 15k midsize pickups over leaky brakes

Mon, Jun 8 2015

General Motors has announced a recall in coordination with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration related to the brakes on the 2015 Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon. In the 14,838 units in the United States estimated to be affected, the front brake calipers may be leaking fluid. Needless to say, that could make them less effective, which could hinder the vehicle's ability to stop in time to avoid a collision. The affected units were all manufactured between January 6 and December 24, 2014. The fix seems simple and straightforward enough, with dealers being instructed to inspect the front brake calipers, and replace them if necessary. See below for all the details from NHTSA. RECALL Subject : Brake Fluid Leak Report Receipt Date: MAY 12, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V278000 Component(s): SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC Potential Number of Units Affected: 14,838 Manufacturer: General Motors LLC SUMMARY: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2015 Chevrolet Colorado, and GMC Canyon trucks manufactured January 6, 2014, to December 24, 2014. The affected vehicles may experience the front brake calipers leaking brake fluid. This is due to air pockets, an imperfection in the metal caliper body. CONSEQUENCE: If the vehicle experiences a brake fluid leak it can increase the stopping distance, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash. REMEDY: GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the front-brake calipers if necessary, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin July 10, 2015. Owners may contact GM customer service at 1-800-222-1020 (Chevrolet), or 1-800-462-8782 (GMC). GM's number for this recall is 14888. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

Seeing the Detroit Auto Show via drone

Sun, Jan 18 2015

Seeing the Chevrolet display at the Detroit Auto Show is worth doing this year, and not just because of the new Corvette Z06, Volt and Bolt concept. In order to attract the new kids, The Bowtie has gone what the old kids used to call "buck wild" with their show stand at Cobo Hall. A Corvette Z06, Trax, and Colorado are parked along a central aisle, called Mainstreet, at the end of which is a 20-foot-tall, 73-foot long transparent screen lording over the new Volt. Elsewhere are five more 20-foot-tall screens broadcasting nine stories today's Chevrolet wants to tell about its vehicles, from performance to belief in the power of play to its 4G LTE-equipped OnStar telematics service. Then there are the social media and virtual reality safety installations, the community presentations and more. Chevrolet flew a drone through the stand to show off what it's doing, which is has replaced eye-level video as the next best thing to being there. You can check it out in the video above.
