NO RESERVE AUCTION MEANING THIS WILL BE SOLD TO THE HIGH BIDDER.

 Please be sure to all your questions about the car have been answered BEFORE BIDDING. 

Please also note I am looking for the high bidder to paypal a 300. Deposit immediately following auction end. Please be sure this works for you or I ask that you please do not bid.  Thanks

I’m told this is an original bucket seat with console car.  I will list the trim tag info when I can so anyone can verify that.

This car does have Air Conditioning for anyone that wants to get it up and working. I see it’s missing some pieces.

This car has an older restoration going back about 28 years or so.   I bought this car last year from a gentleman who has had the car since about 1985,  just about 30 years ago.  I am looking to put the funds in another place so someone is going to win a nice old chevy that with some work will be very nice.

This car is what I call a driving project. You can do as you wish to it as you go. 

The car will need a radio. It doesn’t look like the holes have  been altered. The dash pad has a crack. The glove box doesn’t like to stay closed. And the emergency brake and horn are inop. The heater blower does work but the levers are stif. It has a real nice looking inside. Some accelerator hesitation mostly when cold, possibly the choke.  The parking lights work as well as the headlights, tail lights, wipers and signals. I also see last week when I took it around the block it has some brake pulsation. The brakes do work ok as I had some brake work done last year.

The car looks to have just about  all it’s original sheet metal.  The paint still has a nice shine but does have some flaws but nothing major. For perfection you may want to paint it. The body underneath is just about as solid as I’ve seen in years.(as pictured)   I was told it had a replacement trunk floor put in it years ago.  I see one the rear body mounts look very nice and solid with one loose bolt.That still looks nice.   The chrome on the car especially the bumpers still has a real nice high shine  and look very decent.

It has a real nice sounding V8 that I believe is a 327.  Some numbers I found on the motor are T0820GF  for those who may want to verify that.  It also has a dual exhaust that isn't real old and sounds really sweet.  The transmission is a powerglide that shifts good.   

 

The mileage reads 52,176 which I can only assume has been over with it's age.

All in all this will make a real nice toy for someone.

 

It's not often you can find an old Malibu that hasn't been owned by a number of gearheads that have pounded it to death.  This one can be dialed in just the way you want it and be a nice nice 48 year old collector car !!

 

NO RESERVE AUCTION !!

 

Full payment can be made in a check but will take I’m told by my bank about 10 working days to fully clear the banking system so the car will be held along with the paperwork until fully cleared. If paid in cash in person or a bank to bank wire there would be no hold.  The vehicle is sold as is cond.  Connecticut uses the registration and title as one.  Ownership transfer is done on the reverse side in the buyers section. A bill of sale will also come with it.

 

Any questions please let me know. thanks

thanks for the questions.  any others let me know


On Apr-14-14 at 08:29:47 PDT, seller added the following information:

A common question I've been asked is have the front and rear floor pans had rot repair.  I have been under the car to look and the pans look original and look very solid. unless I missed something I don't see any bad areas.  Feel free to come and inspect the car yourself or send an inspection co. if that's easier.  thanks


On Apr-16-14 at 11:01:17 PDT, seller added the following information:

THANKS FOR THE HUGE RESPONSE.  I HAVE HAD A FEW QUESTIONS ASKING ABOUT THE PAINT.  AS I WROTE THE PAINT IS PROBABLY 25 YEARS OR SO OLD.  IT DOES STILL HAVE A REAL NICE SHINE BUT DOES HAVE SOME FLAWS FROM AGE HERE AND THERE.  BUT FOR THE MOST PART STILL SHOWS VERY NICE.  THE BODY ALSO SHOWS PRETTY STRAIGHT. IT'S NOT A REAL WAVY CAR LIKE SOME.  THANKS


On Apr-19-14 at 19:37:27 PDT, seller added the following information:

Thanks to all the people I've spoken to and those who took the time to look at the car.  I have had some very fair offers but think at this point since it's a no reserve auction I should let it run to the end out of fairness.  Thanks

C7 Corvette makes inaugural ad appearance in Chevy's first spot with new slogan

Mon, 11 Feb 2013

Chevrolet's "Runs Deep" tagline has finally been run into the ground, replaced with the Bowtie brand's "Find New Roads" slogan that's part of parent General Motors' plan to unify its everyday brand's marketing efforts worldwide. The new Chevrolet campaign was ushered in on prime time last night during the Grammy Awards on CBS, and the first spot, a 90-second full-line ad, also marks the first appearance of the 2014 Corvette Stingray in a commercial.
Being a full-line ad, the commercial is composed of vignettes centered on different vehicles in the brand's lineup. The all-new 2014 Impala also makes its first commercial appearance in dapper fashion, and time is spent on a skateboarding Sonic and a bouquet of brightly colored Spark hatchbacks driven by fashionable women. The ad starts and ends with Chevy's green halo car, the Volt, along with a young girl with her robotic dog (yes, really).
Chevrolet's "Runs Deep" campaign got off to a rocky start in the fall of 2010, but it did last for a couple of years with some tweaks. This new one, "Find New Roads" seems more intent on drawing new customers into the fold than the outgoing tagline, which seemed to play more toward the brand faithful. It admittedly reminds us more than a little the short-lived "Find Your Own Road" Saab motto (which, we note, was conceived while the Swedish brand was under GM's control), but no matter, we still think it's got more long-term potential than "Runs Deep."

Chevy Camaro is a good sport, wishes Ford Mustang Happy 50th

Tue, 15 Apr 2014

It was 1966 when Chevrolet launched its challenger to the wildly successful Ford Mustang, the Camaro. While the competition between the two brands was already healthy, the arrival of the Camaro set off one of the most intense, model-to-model rivalries in the industry.
That competitive spirit hasn't stopped Chevy and the Camaro from wishing Ford's iconic muscle car a Happy 50th Birthday as the Ford's April 17 anniversary rolls around. These two cars have been linked over the years, and while the rivalry took a break for a few years in the 2000s, today's competition between the Camaro and Mustang is as fierce as it's ever been.
You might recall that this friendliness when it comes to major milestones isn't too rare. Ford put on quite a display for General Motors' hundredth anniversary back in 2008. As the Camaro's fiftieth birthday approaches in 2016, we wouldn't be surprised to see the Mustang sending its best wishes to its Bowtie rival.

GM to make most cars LTE hotspots for 2015

Mon, 25 Feb 2013

General Motors isn't the first automaker to deliver in-car Internet access, but a proposed plan announced today could make the technology more widespread than any of its competitors have offered. By the 2015 model year, most Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac and GMC products in the US and Canada will offer 4G LTE mobile broadband access. Initially, GM will just be pairing with AT&T to deliver this service, but additional carriers will be revealed in the future.
Current in-car Wi-Fi hot spots are limited to 3G, but GM says that 4G LTE is 10 times faster than 3G service and will allow for full Internet access, including streaming video for entertainment as well as services like real-time traffic updates and navigation driving directions. There is also no need for a paired smartphone with this new system, which should make it easier to use, and GM and AT&T will also be working together to develop new apps for customers.
Buyers can expect to start seeing 4G LTE in their cars starting next year, and GM is already planning to expand the service to other global markets as well. All of the information from GM's announcement is posted in a press release below.
