Location:

     We have a beautiful numbers matching 1967 Chevelle Malibu up for auction. "AS IS NO WARRANTY"   We are the 3rd owners of the car.Rating from 1-10 10 being perfect I would rate it a 7-8. It is not a trailer Queen that you would put mirrors under but is a really nice car!  The car was sold in Las Vegas Nevada and driven to colorado for several years then back to Las Vegas again where it has been every since. In the time that the car sit in Denver Colorado covered up it began to rust. When I bought the car from the second owner "here in Las Vegas" He had the Quarter panels and floors Replaced by a local body shop. They also shaved the firewall for vintage air before I had purchased it so I don't have the heater box, I do have the interior gages though. Other than that to my recollection it is all original. The original 283 V8  motor has about 800 miles since the rebuild and runs strong it also has the factory power-glide Auto trans. that has been rebuilt, original drive shaft, 10 bolt non-posi rear end. I have the original exhaust manifolds on it but the car has after market Edelbrock 600cfm carb. and intake on it.  "I don't have the originals."  The car is very solid! nice paint.Couple imperfections but super clean!!!  Color is a eye piercing Blue with a black top and has a Glass window the original color was a butternut yellow with a black top with a plastic window.  I don't have the original steering wheel, or the rims. The wheels are torque thrust wheels with 15" tires.  Tires still have a lot of tread on them.  Flow master dual exhaust sounds really good.  The car drives really nice,Very reliable.  I don't have the Kick down lever  hooked up to the transmission yet but i do have it.I will try to have it on by the end of sale.  The car has disc brakes in the front and drums in the rear.  The seats are all original and have a small tear in the back corner of the front bench seat. front door panels aftermarket, dash all original with non working clock,radio is in but no wiring to see if it works.  I was going to put a power top on it. It has a manual top.  That is the way it came from the factory.  Top is Less than a month old so it is still a bit stiff.  The rear bumper has a little surface rust behind the plate but is original and is the only rust the car has what so ever!.  Original grill parts, T3 headlights, bumpers,  all lamps and bezels, radiator, and convertible trim."convertible trim has some small dents and dings in them." The under carriage has been sprayed with rubberized undercoat and all body mounts and bushings have been replaced. Dash lights at night are dimming out. It started recently so maybe a bulb or ground. The speedometer isn't working either that also worked up until recently.  Windshield wipers aren't hooked up but all new motor. Comes with books and all literature I have on 1967 Chevelles. If your looking for a great, head turning classic Chevelle to drive around town, you've  found it!  Everywhere we drive the car people drool all over it!:)  If you have any more questions please feel free thanks. "Clear Title" I am the 3rd Owner of the car.  (702) 366-5342    Car is in Las Vegas NV and you will have to pick it up. Im really easy to get along with but I don't like games! If you want the car buy it if not don't bid! Thank You :) Any questions at all please ask before the auction ends.

2013 Chevy COPO Camaro announced with two new engines and manual option

Thu, 07 Mar 2013

Chevrolet is following up the 2012 COPO Camaro with another limited run of the drag-strip-ready production car for 2013. Ditching the superchargers, the 2013 COPO Camaro can only be equipped with one of three naturally aspirated V8 engines, and other new features include the option of a manual transmission, new front springs, some minor styling changes and a lower starting price of $86,000. All cars are designed to abide by the rules of the NHRA's Stock Eliminator or Super Stock classifications, depending on in which series buyers wish to enter their Chevrolet Camaro.
Returning for 2013 is the 427-cubic-inch V8 producing 425 horsepower, but the new engines include a 325-hp 350-CID V8 and a 375-hp 396-CID V8. Buyers can select to purchase all three engines, and each will be matched with the sequence number of that car; the track-only COPO cars will not have vehicle identification numbers and can't be registered for street use.
Chevrolet is also offering unique enthusiast-specific options such as a COPO Build Book and the opportunity for owners to help assemble their car's engine at the Chevrolet Performance Build Center in Wixom, MI.

800k car names trademarked globally, suddenly alphanumerics seem reasonable

Tue, 01 Oct 2013

What's in a name? This cliched phrase probably gets tossed out at every marketing meeting that happens when a new car gets its nomenclature. We know the answer, though: everything. The name of a car has all the potential to make or break it with fickle customers that are more conscious than ever about what their purchases say about them.
That's giving headaches to marketing folks across the automotive industry. "It's tough. In 1985 there were about 75,000 names trademarked in the automotive space. Today there are 800,000," Chevrolet's head of marketing, Russ Clark, told Automotive News. Infiniti's president, Johan de Nysschen, echoed Clark's sentiment, saying, "The truth of the matter is, across the world, there is hardly a name or a letter that hasn't already been claimed by one car manufacturer or another. You can go through the alphabet - A, B, C and so forth - and you will quickly see that almost all available letters are taken."
What has that left automakers to do? Get creative. In the case of Infiniti, it made the controversial move to bring all of its cars' names into a new scheme, classifying them as Q#0 for cars and QX#0 for SUVs and crossovers. So the Infiniti G, which was available as the G25 and G37, is now the Q50. The FX37 and FX50 are now the QX70.

Diesel Power finds the ultimate modified oil-burner

Sat, 24 Aug 2013

For nine years, Diesel Power magazine has run the Diesel Power Challenge, this year's grindfest being "a week-long torture test that features seven events, nine trucks, 8,000 horsepower, and nearly 15,000 pound-feet of torque." The road to being crowned "the most powerful truck" starts with a dyno run, and then continues through the completion of a CDL-style obstacle course, an eighth-of-a-mile drag race while towing a 10,000-pound trailer, a quarter-mile drag race without a trailer, a fuel economy test in the mountains and finally a sled-pulling test through a 300-foot-long packed-mud pit.
What kind of trucks get into such a fight? Last year's winner, for instance - who upgraded his truck this year to prove he didn't "luck into the win" - drives a 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty with a 6.4-liter Power Stroke V8 upgraded with a custom intake, Elite Diesel triple turbos and a two-stage nitrous system. Another competitor has a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 powered by a 5.9-liter Cummins inline-six, upgraded with Garrett turbos, dual-stage nitrous, a seven-inch exhaust stack and twin fans built into the bed to cool the Sun Coast Omega transmission. The numbers on that truck: 1,255 horsepower, and 2,063 pound-feet of torque at the wheels. Naturally, as the image above might suggest, things don't always end well.
You'll find all five videos covering this years challenge below. A scene in the dyno video sums it all up perfectly: a competitor leaves his nitrous on too long and the crew is treated to some ominous poppings, he leans out the window, throws both hands up and shouts, "Amer'ca!"
