This is the cleanest 1978 Malibu you will find on ebay don't let it get away. 

This is a very clean 1978 Malibu two door that I bought from Arizona as one owner about  two years ago now in Southern California in a garage. The rear frame rails are solid no rust (see pics) and with these car they are known for the rear frame rails rotten out.  I bought this car to hot rod and

 

decided it was too clean and original to change. Has cruse control and air-conditioning and both work great. Everything on the car works it is 35 years old so has its nicks and scratches. The interior has bucket seats that are cloth black and gray all the door panels are in good condition.  has original v-8 engine and overdrive automatic trans. with a posi rear-end. The tire are in very good condition along with the Chevy Rally wheels 15x8" on rear and 15x7" on front with steel corvette centers and rings not plastic after market. 

The brakes work like new and has rear air shocks. The car drives like a new and starts every time. It is getting about 18 mpg on average. As I said great car just hate to start changing things on it for the condition it is in.

 

I would rather sit on it for another 10 years than cut it up like most of the Malibu's you see for sale on eBay, they are missing the heating and air units, interiors missing panels and they call them hot rods.

The Malibu is clean enough to put an ls2 engine with 4l60 trans and hook up the ac, cruise and be a very nice car or sell for 25k easily.

 

The Malibu has a hidden hitch that is not visible from the back comes with receiver and ball, it does have air shocks on rear and the frame is solid no rust (see pictures).
also has a Jensen CD player that works good has remote with removable face.
 
The rear end gear ratio appears to be 3:08 I checked it with rear jacked up in the air and counted number of revolution on wheel and drive shaft.
Car is being sold as is and it is listed locally in the paper so please don't get upset if its gone before you know it.

please ask any and all question before you bid and end of auction you can call or text Tony 
661-857-0860

I will help on my end coordinating with shipper, the shipping cost is all on the buyer to cover.
 
Thank you.

UAW to vote on strike at Kentucky Corvette plant

Tue, 08 Apr 2014

The 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."

Consumer Reports declares most and least loved cars [w/video]

Wed, Dec 3 2014

Consumer Reports is crunching the numbers from its annual owner-satisfaction survey, and part of that process is finding out how attached drivers are to their cars. CR simply asks readers of models up to three years old if they would buy the same vehicle again in light of their entire ownership experience, and tallies the results. After looking at the responses for about 350,000 vehicles, it turns out that people really love a certain California-built, electrically powered luxury sedan. That's right, this year's the overall winner was the Tesla Model S with a whopping 98 percent of owners saying they would purchase another one (the Model S also won this award last year, with 99 percent satisfaction). The Chevrolet Corvette Stingray came in a close second with 95 percent of drivers hoping to park another one in their garage. A few models weren't quite so favored, though. The Nissan Versa Sedan was the least loved model among its owners; a mere 42 percent said that they would purchase another. The aging Jeep Compass didn't do much better, with just 43 percent of drivers willing to buy the softroader again. On average, about 70 percent of owners say they would buy their car again, and only four cars ranked below 50 percent in CR's findings. Check out the video above to see some of the winners and losers in a few of CR's categories. If you're a subscriber, you can check out the full list on its website.

Corvette Stingray gets optional Z06 components

Thu, Nov 5 2015

If you've got a Corvette Stingray in the garage and have been tempted by some of the upgrades incorporated into the Z06, but can't quite bring yourself to trade up, Chevy has got some good news for you. The Bowtie brand has announced a series of performance parts derived from those in the Z06, but applicable to the base Stingray. The list of parts includes new cooling elements, prop shafts, brakes, suspension components, and underbody braces. They can all be fitted to Stingray models with or without the Z51 performance kit, and promise to raise the Corvette's game if not quite to Z06 levels, then closer to them. And for Z06 owners interested in gaining a bit more advantage, Chevy is offering a new Level 3 aero kit as well. The parts were demonstrated on upgraded 'Vettes at the Ron Fellows driving school at Spring Mountain. The school is also serving as technical partner and the track as the location for a new spec racing series built around the C7 Corvette. Dubbed the Michelin Corvette Challenge, the calendar is composed of fifteen half-hour races held in pairs over eight weekends, all on the six-mile circuit near Las Vegas. The cars to be used in the series will be close to showroom stock and feature many of the new Z06-derived upgrades, with Michelin racing slicks for dry weather and Pilot Super Sport tires in the wet. Perhaps most compelling of all will be the payment plan that will allow participating amateur racers to pay in installments across the season and take home their Corvette after the season's conclusion in December. New Z06 Parts Enhance Corvette Stingray Performance Broad range of chassis, suspension and aero components enhance capability 2015-11-02 PAHRUMP, Nev. – Chevrolet today and drivers from the Ron Fellows Corvette high-performance driving school at the Spring Mountain track demonstrated Stingray models enhanced with components from a new lineup of Z06-based performance parts. They're designed for 2014+ Stingray models, including Z51-equipped cars. "We've selected specific components from the Corvette Z06 and engineered them to fit the award-winning Stingray," said Jim Campbell, Chevrolet U.S. vice president of Performance Vehicles and Motorsports. "These Z06 parts enhance the handling, braking, cooling and downforce performance of the Stingray." Ron Fellows, champion Corvette Racing driver, collaborated with Chevrolet Performance engineers on the all-new portfolio.
