This is a 1965 Chevelle Malibu original SS car with VIN starting 138. I am the sixth owner having owned it for the last 12 years. The previous owner also owned it for 12 years and did most of the restoration work on it. It showed about 58,000 miles when I received it but had no speedometer cable. I installed the cable and now it shows 61,630. Actual mileage is unknown.
It has been stored in temperature controlled garages for at least the last 24 years. It was restored with black base coat/clear coat paint; new windshield; new park light assemblies, grille, headlight trim, hood molding and letters, deck lid moldings, side insignia moldings; new door, trunk and glove box locks; triple plated front and rear bumpers. The black interior was professionally installed from headliner to floor. A new Ididit tilt column was installed with a Grant wood steering wheel. I added power steering with an aluminum race power steering pump with remote reservoir. Instruments include AutoMeter monster tach with shift light and AutoMeter oil, volt and water temp gauges. The original radio is in the dash but has no speaker. The former owner represented that the radio works but I never installed a speaker. '69 Chevelle front power disc brakes were installed with a Hurst line-lock, JEZ adjustable proportioning valve, Masterpower 8" power brake booster and new stainless steel braided and hard lines. The front suspension is stock. The rear has Edelbrock boxed upper and lower control arms with poly bushings and grease fittings, 12 bolt 3.55 limited slip rear with Summit aluminum rear cover.

First privately owned Corvette Stingray blitzes 1/4 mile in 12.23 at 114.88 mph
Tue, 01 Oct 2013Chevrolet's latest road rocket, the Corvette Stingray, is a very quick car. If one needs further proof of that, we recommend they take a look at this video from Hennessey of what is claimed to be the first privately owned C7 Corvette to make a pass down the quarter mile. Not just any quarter mile, mind, this black C7 blitzed its way down the tuner's primary testing dragstrip. The Chevrolet ran the quarter in just 12.23 seconds at 114.88 miles per hour. That is a very quick time for a stock car.
Equipped with the Z51 package and a six-speed automatic transmission, not only does the C7 run a solid time, but it does so with little to no drama. That won't last though, as Hennessey will likely return it to its owner with far more power - we just hope they show a drag run of the completed product. Take a look below to watch the C7's 12.23-second run on video.
Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]
Tue, 05 Feb 2013Consumer Reports has taken aim at at small-displacement, forced-induction engines, saying the powerplants don't manage to deliver on automaker fuel economy claims. Manufacturers have long held that smaller, turbocharged engines pack all power of their larger displacement cousins with significantly better fuel economy, but the research organization says that despite scoring high EPA economy numbers, the engines are no better than conventional drivetrains in both categories. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, says the forced induction options "are often slower and less fuel efficient than larger four and six-cylinder engines."
Specifically, CR calls out the new Ford Fusion equipped with the automaker's Ecoboost 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The institute's researchers found the engine, which is a $795 option over the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder, fails to match competitors in acceleration and served up 25 miles per gallon in testing, putting the sedan dead last among other midsize options.
The Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Sonata Turbo and Ford Escape 2.0T all got dinged for the same troubles, though Consumer Reports has found the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the BMW 328i does deliver on its promises. You can check out the full press release below. You can also read the full study on the Consumer Reports site, or scroll down for a short video recap.
UAW to vote on strike at Kentucky Corvette plant
Tue, 08 Apr 2014The current wait time for a new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is well, not short. With word of a strike at the Bowling Green, KY factory responsible for seventh-generation sports car, though, that wait time could end up growing substantially.
Now, a strike is still a ways off. UAW Local 2164, which represents the 800 workers responsible for screwing the Corvette together, is set to vote on authorizing a strike today, but even if the employees give the action a go, it's far from a sure thing. According to The Tennessean, both regional and national union officials would need to put their stamp of approval on strike action.
"The membership has to vote to strike, but it's just a step in the process," said Gary Casteel, the UAW's Region 8 director and one of the people that would need to authorize a strike action. Casteel told The Tennessean, "It's purely a local situation, though. They are having some issues with the local management."
