We are proud to offer our beautiful 1969 Chevelle Malibu for sale.

 

We bought this car from a gentleman who owned this car for the last 20 something years.  About 8 years ago, he had the car restored including a rebuild on the original 307 small block and TH350 transmission.  The undercarriage was painted and coated lifting the body off.  The interior was restored and the exterior was painted in the gorgeous Cortez Silver.  This Chevelle appears to be all original with the exception of the correct style bucket seats. 

This is also an A/C car that was recently charged and blows cold.  The greatest thing about this car is it is 100% complete and everything works as it should!  All of the lights, switches, wipers, heater, A/C, engine, transmission are in fantastic working condition!  This car would make an awesome driver or the best start to a hot rod you could ask for!

If you look at my feedback you will notice I have a wonderful reputation for selling and describing high interest cars.  I believe in trying to present the best online evaluation I can to make sure the buyer knows exactly what he is getting and not getting by winning this auction.  Most ads I see on Ebay only list specs on a car and often do not mention anything about the actual condition of the car...run from these.  Here is the car as I see it:

Body:  This appears to be a very original, rust free car with the exception of the driver's side quarter panel at the very rear, lowest part.  This is very common and it is just starting to bubble through the black paint on the underside.  The beauty of this is that it would be a very easy repair if concerned about it as you only need to replace the bottom lip of the rear quarter and would be easy to match the black paint.  This is the only rust I have found in the car.  The battery tray area looks great, inner fender wells, window channels, etc. all look good.  I believe the passenger rear quarter had a small patch at the very bottom with metal when restored.  The body appears very straight and all the gaps line up nicely.  Doors, hood and trunk all open and close like new!  The vinyl top is in great condition and is a rich black in color.  The windshield is in good condition but there is a groove in the glass following the arch of the blades on the driver's side.  This does not block any visibility but is easily replaced if you want to. All of the bumpers and stainless trim are in great condition!

Paint:  This car has very nice paint and I would call it a nice driver quality.  There are a few small scratches that are hard to see in the silver paint unless you are up close.  There is also some very small particles that must have gotten into the paint and then cleared over.  It looks like very small sand or dust particles but these can be found all over the car if you look very closely.  The car is very glossy and the silver coverage is smooth and not blotchy like a lot of silver cars you see.

Interior:  The interior shines in this car.  The dash pad is like new, headliner is like new with working dome light, the carpet is new, the back seat is in fantastic condition and the metal dash his uncut and in terrific condition.  There are a few small scratches on the dash around the glove box that is an easy touch up but worth mentioning.  The driver and passenger bucket seats are in good condition but could use a simple dye touch up where the black has been worn off.  If I were to keep this car I would have the front seats redone with new covers and new foam and you would have a beautiful finished interior!  All of the windows roll up and down nicely and seal well. 

Mechanical:  This has the original 307 small block in it that starts right away, doesn't appear to use any oil or smoke.  It has the original two barrel carburetor with manual choke.  The transmission shifts smooth and well and there are no noticeable noises anywhere.  The brakes are original drum style at all four corners that work well and stop straight!  The rear end is stock with tall highway gears and assume they are original.  I do not believe it is a posi car as it is all original. 

Wheels & Tires: The wheels look like brand new and are the original style S/S Cragars. They even have the older metal caps which is very cool unlike the new plastic versions that peel. The tires are in great condition with 80-90% tread remaining.  This Chevelle cruises down the interstate nicely, tracks straight and does not wander at all.  It drives amazing! 

I have a clean and clear title for this car!

 

As you can see by the photos, this car looks amazing and it is so hard to find these old Chevelles that are complete with everything working.  Run it like it is for a reliable driver to all the car shows or drop in a big block and you have a finished hot rod! Either way you don't have a lot of odds and ends to locate or fix costing you thousands more in your car.  

 

Please contact me through Ebay with any questions before you bid or to get my contact information.  Please only bid if you are serious and intend to complete the transaction.  I also have high definition photos available upon request!  If you have zero feedback please contact me BEFORE you bid.  

 

I can assist with delivery arrangements or can pick up the new buyer at the Boise airport (BOI) and you can drive this home!  It is very reliable!  Any help you need from me to complete this transaction must be approved before you bid or win the auction.  If you are an Idaho resident I must collect 6% in sales tax.  If you are out of state there will be no taxes collected.

 

I am open to trades of equal or greater value so let me know what you have and send me some pictures...just remember the equal or greater value part!

 

Thank you for looking and good luck bidding!

Chevy Volt has worst sales month since August 2011, Nissan Leaf also down

Tue, Feb 3 2015

January is traditionally a time when new car shoppers take a break. For the last few years, if we isolate our focus to just the first two major plug-in cars in the US market, we see that the first month of the year was lower – often dramatically lower – than the 11 that followed. So, when you see the Chevy Volt dropped and Nissan Leaf sales figures for January 2015, don't be too surprised. The Volt sold only 542 units last month, that model's lowest since August 2011. That also represents a 41 percent drop from January 2014, and it reinforces the thought that if anyone out there is interested in a new Volt, they're going to be waiting for the new model to drop later this year. While we do expect sales to climb in February and into spring, we won't be surprised if the general Volt trend remains quiet until the second-generation arrives. On the Leaf side of the ledger, January's low sales numbers were still about twice as high as the Volt's – the Leaf sold 1,070 units last month, the lowest since February 2013 – but it did break a streak for the Japanese automaker. Usually, each month represents at least an increase over the same month a year ago, but that wasn't the case this time. In January 2014, Nissan sold 1,252 Leafs. Still, Brendan Jones, Nissan's director of electric vehicle sales and infrastructure, issued an upbeat statement: "We saw a significant increase in demand in December from Nissan Leaf customers looking to take advantage of federal and state incentives at the end of the tax year, which pulled some sales ahead. We're confident that EV sales will continue to rise over time due to increasing emission regulations and other reasons for purchase of EVs such as lower operating costs, reducing dependence on foreign energy sources, environmental concerns and a great driving experience." The numbers will tell us soon enough. News Source: General Motors, Nissan Green Chevrolet Nissan Electric Hybrid ev sales brendan jones

Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon get trim levels reworked again

Sun, Mar 22 2020

GM Authority reports that GM has fiddled with trim packages on the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon for the 2021 model year, eliminating the base trims on both pickups and implementing small price changes. When the new model year goes on sale, the Chevy will lose the rear-wheel drive Base Extended Cab with the automatic transmission that starts at $22,395 after a $1,095 destination charge. The new entry-level is going to be the Work Truck model with the extended cab in rear-wheel drive, starting at $26,595 assuming the destination charge holds steady. That represents a $4,200 jump over the base 2020 model. MSRPs for the entire Work Truck lineup, from base to the Crew Cab Long Box, rise by $400. Elsewhere in the Colorado line, the four Z71 trims go down by $100, while the two ZR2 trims increase by the same amount. Only the six LT trims don't see any change.  The GMC side is a bit more involved due to previously announced changes. The 2020 Canyon comes in SL, Base Canyon, SLE, SLT, All Terrain, and Denali steps. Last month, GM Authority reported the 2021 Canyon would give all that up for the new names Elevation Standard, Elevation, AT4, and Denali. Since the SL base model retires in 2021, the Elevation Standard takes over at the entry level. Unlike on the Colorado, which sheds one trim, the Canyon lineup gets pared from 20 total combinations of trims, cab sizes, and bed lengths, to 14 total combinations. But like the Colorado, due to the loss of the cheapest configuration, the least expensive 2021 Canyon becomes $4,200 more expensive than in 2020, assuming the destination price remains the same. What's more, the 2021 Elevation Standard pricing adds $700 or $800 to the prices of the 2020 Canyon base and SLE models. There are more increases up the range. The 2021 Elevation trim replaces a combination of SLE and SLT models, bumping prices up by up to $900. In 2020, the least expensive All Terrain model is the Extended Cab Cloth for $37,695. For next year, the least expensive AT4 trim is the Crew Cab Short Box for $39,295. Like-for-like, though, the AT4 represents a $300 premium over the 2020 All Terrain Crew Cab Short Box. Three Denali trims will still stand at the top of the heap, each one going up by $400 in 2021. Until GM details the equipment changes, we won't know how the new pricing equates to value.

Why does the Corvette Stingray have so many vents? Here's why

Sun, 27 Jan 2013

Just looking at the new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, it's not hard to see that the car's design was created with aerodynamics at the forefront, but Chevrolet designers point out exactly what went into designing the iconic coupe in a pair of recently released videos. The videos show the Corvette going through early design phases, including clay models and wind tunnel tests, as well as talking to the car's chief engineer, Tadge Juechter.
Both videos help explain various aspects of the C7 Corvette, but it's the aero tuning of the car that is most interesting. This includes extra attention paid to the lower air dam and vented hood to help reduce drag and lift, while the rear quarter inlets are for differential and transmission cooling. Juechter said that some of these aero-tuned elements were inspired from GM's involvement in racing.
If you have about five minutes and you can't get enough information about the new 'Vette, then check out the videos posted below.
