1970 Chevrolet Chevelle/Malibu 350 Special ordered on 5/12/1970 from White Allen Chevrolet in Dayton, Ohio by 21yr old Carol Huff. After waiting two months Miss Huff took delivery of her dream Chevelle on July 13,1970. She was a car girl and did her homework ordering her Chevelle with the 300hp 350ci V8, Muncie 4sp, gauge package and 12-bolt differential with a 3.31 posi. She splurged on power front disc brakes but little else. This Chevelle is a base model stripper/street racer, i.e. bench seat, AM radio, dog dish hubcaps and manual steering with a sticker price right at $3200.00. She was not a big fan of the bright colors of the era so her Chevelle was ordered in a more sedate Code 17 Shadow Gray with black interior. Miss Huff had fun driving and racing her Chevelle in Southern Ohio untill she decided to move out to CA in 1975 towing a 12 foot U-Haul trailer behind the Chevelle. She settled in San Diego got married, started a family driving the Chevelle sparingly untill parking it in the early 80's. She reluctantly sold to Chevelle in 1985 to the local and very persistant UPS man that had taken a shine to the Chevelle. Fast forward 29 years to this past January when I was able to purchase the Chevelle from the UPS guy that had put the car in his back yard shortly after buying it from Miss Huff. Weather, time and unfortunately rodents had taken a toll on the once mighty Chevelle. After a good cleaning and a lot of work the Chevelle is once again a running and driving car with current registration and a clean CA title. I was even able to track down the original owner and show her the Chevelle. She related numerous stories and information concerning the Chevelle that add to it's colorful history. Including, why the M-20 Muncie has a build date of 11/21/1970? four months after the build date on the trim tag. As related by Miss Huff the Chevelle was in a minor accident shortly after she took delivery and went to the local Buick dealer (recommended by the family insurance man) for repair. While the Chevelle was languishing in the back lot of the dealership waiting to be repaired the original Muncie was stolen and ultimately replaced by the dealership. The Chevelle was also a victim of a hit and run in the late 70's causing the driver side rear quarter panel to be replaced at Hine Pontiac in San Diego. A rare Chevelle worth restoring with 75K original miles, original numbers matching engine and differential. The Muncie is not original and was replaced when the car was 6 months old. Unmolested engine compartment and uncut dash. Severe rust on driverside a-pillar, rust also visible at base of windshield and under stainless trim. Heavy surface rust on roof and hood. Small holes visible in the passenger side front and rear floorboards. Heavy surface rust on driver side floorboards and trunk floor. Interior in rough shape due to rodents and will need to be completely gone thru. The dash is in surprisingly good shape considering how long it sat uncovered in the back yard. Please look at pictures closely and ask questions. I just received my first negitive feedback from somebody who admitted he did not read the ad text or understand what he was buying. He then made my life miserable because a Barret-Jackson quality car did not roll off the transporter. I do value my feedback and want a happy buyer. If you have any concerns regarding the Chevelle please do not bid. Thank You!

Question of the Day: What's the most irritating car name?
Wed, Mar 9 2016You hear a lot about how the Chevrolet Nova was a sales flop in Mexico because "No va" means "it doesn't go" in Spanish; in fact, the Nova sold pretty well south of the border, and in any case most Spanish-speakers know that "Nova" means "new" in Latin and Portuguese. However, General Motors doesn't deserve to be let off the hook for bad car names, because the Oldsmobile Achieva— no doubt inspired by the excruciating "coffee achievers" ads of the 1980s— scrapes the biggest fingernails down the screechiest chalkboard in the US-market car-name world. That is, unless you think Daihatsu's incomprehensible choice of Charade was worse. Meanwhile, Japanese car buyers could get machines with cool names like Mazda Bongo Friendee or Honda Life Dunk. It's just not fair! So, what car name drives you the craziest? Related Video: Auto News Design/Style Chevrolet Honda Mazda Daihatsu Automotive History questions car names
Now's the time to buy a cheap first-gen Chevy Volt
Fri, Sep 4 2015Would you fork over 18 grand and change for a new Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in vehicle? If so, there are some for the taking. Since the updated Volt is about ready to hit dealerships, current models have become a lot easier to afford. For some reason, it appears the best deals are in Iowa, recalling some sort of Field of Dreams-style whispering voice luring car shoppers to their first plug-in vehicle, according to EV Obsession. To wit, a couple of 2014 Volts with a sticker price in the $35,000 range are being offered for less than $26,000 in that Midwestern state. Factor in the $7,500 tax credit from the federal government, and the Volt can be had for less than the sticker price of a Toyota Prius C compact hybrid. Chevy started priming that particular pump earlier this year, though didn't appear to have a ton of success. This past spring, Chevrolet was offering some impressive lease deals on the Volt, with monthly payments dropping to less than $250. There's a reason buyers will want to wait for the second-generation Volt. The 2016 version will have a 53-mile all-electric range, up from the 38-mile range in the current version, along with 106 MPGe. Some will say that the style is improved as well, and the first-gen's touch-sensitive control panel was discarded for more buttons. Still, if you're more concerned about price than having the newest car on the lot, now's a good time to shop. And speaking of the current version, sales remain down substantially. Last month, Chevy moved 1,380 Volts, a 45-percent plunge from a year earlier. Through August, Volt sales were down 37 percent this year compared to 2014 numbers, to 8,315 units.
McLaren, Koenigsegg, Toyota, Ford, Dodge and Corvette Lego kits announced for 2021
Tue, May 4 2021Lego has announced a slew of car-themed sets for 2021. The six kits comprise nine vehicles and fall under the brick pusher's Speed Champion line of official OEM-licensed kits. News of their arrival comes from German toy retailer JB Spielwaren's pre-order listings, which show three single-car sets and three dual-car sets of matched marques. Starting with the McLaren Elva roadster, the kit consists of 263 pieces and is finished in blue. It seems to have a difficult time capturing the curves of the real-life Elva, but there's only so much you can do with a bunch of plastic blocks. Lego has made several other McLaren kits before, including the Senna, 720S, and a more advanced Senna GTR for the Technics line. Next up is the Koenigsegg Jesko, made up of 280 pieces and finished in white. Though the real-life Jesko is still curvy, this kit does a better job of replicating its aggressive maw, vents and cantilevered rear wing. Rounding out the single-car sets is the 299-piece Toyota GR Supra in yellow. This marks the first time Toyota has lent their license to Lego. Again, it struggles a bit to represent the curvy Supra, relying on printed details like logos and headlights to identify. On the other hand, the Chevrolet two-car does a stupendous job with the 1968 Corvette. The C3 is instantly recognizable as such. The C8-R race car it's paired with suffers from the same issues as some of the previous cars, though. The set contains 512 pieces, and funnily enough the C8 driver has short hair while the C3 driver sports a period-correct wavy mane. The next set is a 627-piece Mopar-themed pair, including a purple (Plum Crazy?) 1970 Dodge Challenger T/A and an SRT top fuel dragster. The race car is spot on, but the Challenger was probably tough to make given the width restrictions. It looks a couple of pegs too narrow compared to the wide proportions of the real deal. Last but not least, the Ford set contains a Bronco R and Ford GT Heritage Edition. Consisting of 660 pieces, the set does an excellent job of representing both cars. The GT looks faithful in its Gulf livery, and the Bronco R looks more like a real Bronco than the actual Bronco R race truck. All in all, it's always fun to see more Lego sets with real cars, and we're glad to see more manufacturers added to the roster. The single-car sets are recommended for ages 7 and up, while the double-car sets have an 8 years and up rating. Price in U.S.
