This is a 1970 Malibu that originally had a small block engine from the factory. I have 2 factory build sheets that go with the car. I planned to make a fun driver out of it so I could having something to enjoy while doing my frame off restorations but I ended up getting a 1970 Firebird driver and I don't have a need to keep them both. This is a project that was started by the previous owner in 2003 when he bought it out of Tennessee and did the motor build. He did the break in on the motor but he never finished the build and got it on the road.

If I keep the car I am going to replace the painless wiring with American Autowire, Replace the quarters with full quarters (has skins on it now) and do a 1 piece trunk pan.The car has a partial trunk pan in it now but they didn't completely remove the old one so for a show car I would do the trunk(it's solid and rust free just not factory looking).

It has a factory flat hood with a fiberglass cowl hood on it in the pictures, It comes with a brand new Dyncacorn steel cowl hood as well. If you have any questions about the car or need more pictures send me a message and I will be more than happy to give you the information you request. Car has clear Ohio title in my name.

PC Automotive(Oberlin, OH) built 454 with forged crank and KB pistons redone from the heads down to the Milidon high capacity pan. Comp Hi-Engergy Cam lifters and springs, New starter, alternator, billet brackets and pulleys, billet air cleaner and valve covers, HEI, Taylor performance wires, March pulleys. New Edelbrock 750 with electric choke Pretty much everything on the motor is brand new aside from the gm block and heads. Edelbrock rebuildable fuel pump. Engine shop build sheet/Full build specs available

New TCI TH400 transmission with brand new converter and flywheel. Stainless trans cooler lines. Hurst ratchet shifter.

I pulled the radiator and sent it to a shop to get cleaned and pressure checked. It's perfect. I also flushed the cooling system due to the car sitting, I don't take chances. I also installed a brand new gas tank, flushed the lines and installed a new Edelbrock Carb and new fuel filter. With a brand new engine I don't want to risk putting bad gas through it.

Professionally Rebuilt 12 bolt posi with new eaton posi, new 3.55:1 gears and new superior forged axles. Rear drums have been serviced with new spring kit and wheel cylinders Front Disk brake kit with power booster/master. Looks like a high quality kit (maybe SS brakes or Powermaster brakes) Frame is rock solid with all energy suspension poly bushings. paint is faded and isn't show quality but it's not all rusty either. New Hotchkiss rear trailing links and brace. Over sized sway bars front and rear. New tie rods, ball joints, idler arm. Power steering.

Painless wiring harness is installed but needs cleaned up and wires shortened.

New Flowmaster mandrel bent exhaust with H pipe

Fenders, inner fenders, radiator support, doors, rockers, roof, window channels all look excellent Stainless Trim needs polished and some of the pieces have dents.

Interior needs dash pad top and dash wiring cleaned up. Has a very nice original rear seat, new Scat Procar seats up front. New door panels and interior quarter panels. headliner is new but needs stretched and re-glued. Carpet is new. All the fluids have been replaced with new fluids - Brake, antifreeze, power steering

The car has been sitting for about a month so the battery needs charged and it needs gas but the car does start, run and drive but will need to be trailered because the brakes are soft, it needs a front end alignment due to all the steering components being new and the engine will need some minor tuning(idles great!) since it is a new motor with less than a mile of driving around the industrial parkway. It also is leaking oil from the back of the engine, so that will need to be fixed. It is a a great winter project that you can either put a little bit of time into this winter and have a fun reliable car to cruise next spring or go all out and do a trunk panel, quarters and full paint job. The car is a solid car and I took pictures from every angle I can think of. If you have any questions or need additional pictures I am more than willing to do what I can.

2020 Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra recalled due to faulty brake component

Wed, Mar 11 2020

General Motors is recalling 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 pickups to fix a defect in the trucks' brake system. Certain Silverado and Sierra pickups were produced with brake-caliper bolts that were not heat-treated. Without heat-treating, the bolts are weaker than they should be, and there is a risk that they could fail, which would affect the trucks' braking performance, possibly leading to a crash. In total, 20,352 vehicles are affected. Owners of affected trucks will be contacted by GM. Dealers will inspect the bolts and replace those that are defective. Related Video:      

Dodge vs. Chevy tug-of-war taken to the extreme

Mon, 17 Dec 2012

They say "idle hands are the devil's playground," but said playgrounds grow to Disney-sized proportions when a pair of jacked-up trucks, two egos, a chain and an empty mall parking lot are involved. Proof of this is the video below, which shows a Cummins-powered Dodge Ram circa 2006 to 2008 chained tail-to-tail with what looks to be a gasoline-powered Chevrolet Silverado from the late 1990s or early 2000s.
We don't necessarily have to tell you who wins this battle, but we'll let you see for yourself the lengths the "winning" driver goes to prove his point. There's plenty of foul language in the video below, so beware that this might be Not Safe For Work, and not that we should have to tell you, but please, do not try this at home.

2019 Toyota Avalon vs. full-size sedans: How they compare on paper

Mon, Apr 23 2018

Full-size sedans aren't exactly in great demand at the moment, and at least one of the vehicles in this comparison has been rumored to be on the endangered species list. Yet, we've just had our first drive in the 2019 Toyota Avalon, and if anything has a chance of rejuvenating the segment a bit, it's an all-new version of what has long been the segment's benchmark. To see how the new Avalon compares, we've put together the below spreadsheet featuring the Avalon's primary apples-to-apples rivals, the Buick LaCrosse and Chevy Impala. We also included the Nissan Maxima, which is comparable in price, sales and non-luxury badge, and which offers the sort of increased driver engagement promised by the new Avalon XSE and Touring trim levels. We also included the outgoing Avalon for reference as well as that car's luxury cousin, the Lexus ES, which can definitely be cross-shopped with the luxuriously trimmed Avalon Limited. You can use our Compare Cars tool to create your own comparison, such as one featuring the rear-wheel-drive Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger or even Kia Stinger. Alright, enough chit chat. On to the spreadsheet. Performance and fuel economy The GM sedans may come standard with four cylinders, including a mild hybrid system in the LaCrosse, but puh-lease. The V6 is the name of the game in this segment, with outputs now surpassing the 300-horsepower mark. The LaCrosse is the horsepower and torque champ, though it also weighs a bit more than the new 2019 Avalon, so acceleration is likely to be comparable. The Impala weighs a lot more and has only a six-speed automatic, so despite having a wee bit more power, one should expect it to be pokier (not a good sign for a car rumored to be on the chopping block). One would expect the Maxima's 300 hp and lowest curb weight to result in the quickest acceleration, but then it's also strapped to a CVT, which despite being better than ever, is still a CVT. Things get worse for Chevy when you consider the Impala's base four-cylinder gets the same 25 mpg combined as the Avalon's V6 — once again a segment best. Now, should you really prioritize fuel economy, the 2019 Toyota Avalon Hybrid really stands out with a 43 mpg rating (or 44 with the base XLE trim) that bests the outgoing Avalon Hybrid. Honestly, after driving this new Hybrid, it actually seems like it would be the best bet for most buyers. There's sufficient power, and it only costs $1,000 more than the comparable V6 version.
