Unfortunately, the other "buyers" didn't materialize, so I'm forced to re-list it. I've dramatically reduced the reserve and will take BEST OFFERS this time around. The car is worth more than I am asking for the Buy It Now, I just am out of time to close the deal. My loss, your gain. So, ask questions and good luck!

=================================================

The time may have come to part with my baby. We're looking at moving and as much as it pains me to say, the down payment on the new house is sitting in my garage. :-( So, with that said...

The car is a 1965 Chevelle Malibu SS tribute w/ a fully dressed .60 over 350 full hydraulic roller small block, Holley 650 double pumper, MSD Electronic Ignition, with complete NOS system (not yet plumbed) that puts a TON of hp to the ground, A/C, P/S, P/B, automatic transmission, lowered 3", custom made trunk enclosure, custom hidden stereo installation, very nice interior. We take the car to shows all the time and it gets PLENTY of attention. It'll melt the tires and turn heads. The car is pure mean in PPG Triple Black and dropped on black chrome rims.

I've had the car for about 7 years now I guess. Over the years, we've done a lot to the car mechanically, cosmetically, etc. I'm going to try to be as complete, transparent, and honest as possible. I've bought and sold enough cars online to know it can be a difficult process. My eBay rating should speak for itself.

The motor was freshly built a few years back and used since as an occasional weekend cruiser and show car, couldn't have more than a couple of thousand miles on it MAX (odometer no workie). The transmission (Turbo 400) also was freshly built when the motor was installed.

The Details - system by system:

Professionally built .60 over 350 small block, full hydraulic roller, comp cam (don't have the exact spec, but it's mildly "lopey" and makes plenty of vacuum). MOTOR DOES NOT LEAK OR BURN OIL AT ALL.
Holley 650 Double Pumper on an Edlebrock Air Gap intake manifold, Holley electric fuel pump (fuel gauge not working) and pressure regulator. Complete NOS system including chrome bottle (full), valves, etc. (not yet plumbed..just the bottle mounted for show in the trunk). NO FUEL LEAK OR FUEL SYSTEM ISSUES (other than the gauge as mentioned)
MSD electronic ignition
full dual exhaust from Headman headers back, Flowmaster 40's (sounds INCREDIBLE). O2 sensor bung welded in for the added Air/Fuel Mixture gauge in the dash.
Turbo 400 automatic transmission (built the same time the engine was), 3000 stall converter, shift kit, Lokar floor mounted shifter. I just had the rear tail seal and rear mount replaced. There is a small transmission fluid leak but it's not from the rear seal. Haven't replaced the pan gasket yet (but I have the gasket and filter kit I'll send with the car). We believe the leak is from the filler tube o-ring or the vacuum line. Transmission shifts HARD and reliably every time. The speedo doesn't work. The car was originally a column shift car, so when we added the floor shifter, we simply cut the column shift arm back to the collar. The right way to do it, would be to buy a new collar...we just haven't gotten to it yet.
rear end I believe is 3.91 but I can't confirm that. It was replaced before I bought the car, so it's not original. It is not posi. Jumps from a stop very smartly and rolls down the highway just fine, too.
brake system - car stops great for still having drums. The chrome master cylinder, booster, and proportioning valve are only a couple of years old. They were bought for discs we just haven't converted it yet. All it needs is the spindle swap.
aluminum radiator and thermostat controlled electric fans. The car NEVER overheats even in South Florida summers. NO COOLANT LEAKS
much of the suspension was replaced over the last couple of years: 2" Hotchkis drop springs all the way around, then it needed a little more drop so about 1/4 coil was cut out of the fronts. The rears we added simple spring compressors to level it out. Brand new performance shocks added up front to accommodate the low ride and tire tuck. Its a bit of a stiff ride, but it needs to be to get it down where it is. Before the shock upgrade, the passenger front tire did rub the inner fender well a bit on a really sharp hard turn. it caught the edge of the metal and cut the tire, so the front right tire is brand new.
tires and wheels: 245/45/17 on American Racing polished aluminum rims that were then painted with a "black chrome" tire finish (a bit of an experiment). The aluminum needed a polish anyway, so I figured worst case scenario, if I hated the black, it would come off and we'd go back to polished.They are still black because I think it looks mean.
The electrical system is solid but mostly original. Headlights, taillights, signals, etc. all work. Horn isn't connected.Wipers are finicky. The connector behind the dash is a little loose; when I was working on it last, I'm sure I bumped it, so the wipers aren't coming on right now. It's happened plenty of times before. It's a matter of getting up behind the switch and reconnecting.
the original stereo is in the dash but not hooked up. The new stereo/CD player is hidden in the glove box and controlled (with the door closed) by wireless remote with RF sender. Two 6x9's sit in the rear deck and with the trunk enclosure acting like a speaker box, the system sounds great.
A/C system is practically new (compressor, drier, all new braided lines and fittings) except for the evaporator unit (under the dash). Just needs to be charged. Blower works and is integrated into the original dash controls
custom built trunk enclosure. Wooden panels were custom made then upholstered in a grey microfiber material. I had a custom piece of black carpet made for the deck with blue border/binding. The trunk is really sharp looking with the NOS bottle mounted up. I added blue led strip under the upper lip for the night time cruises/shows.
the interior: brand new black carpet, chrome dash panel. This is the original interior (seats and door panels), but it's in really nice shape. The headliner was replaced right before I got the car, so it's nice. We just put brand new chrome bases on the arm rests. The rear sail panels, package tray, windshield trim could use to be adjusted and refitted. They are a bit sloppy.
all of the glass is intact. Windows all work. Windshield is new and professionally installed. The door glass all have new rubbers and felts.
original front seat belts are there and we added back seat lap belts.
under the hood is dressed with plenty of chrome and aluminum. Makes for a really nice effect when you pop the hood. I also added some LED's under the hood for those night time cruises/shows.

The car runs like a top, shifts perfectly, BIG power to the ground, sounds incredible, turns heads everywhere we go.

The Issues:
- the paint job isn't awe-inspiring. The paint used was TOP OF THE LINE (I have some left and will send), but unfortunately the guy that applied it wasn't a craftsman. The prep and the application itself wasn't superior, so it shows. I'ts done in single stage PPG Triple Black (really deep black). Once it was done, they wet sanded it to try to get it right. It helped a LOT, but unfortunately, they did rub through on a couple of edges (edges are always much thinner in paint, so it's easy to do). There are some very fine scratches left by the process in a few places that could likely be buffed out. There are a couple of bubbles (driver's side quarter and rear deck filler panel) where the paint has some adhesion issues. Ultimately, the car looks great from 10' and going down the road, but sitting at a show for inspection by a critical eye, there are issues to be addressed.

- there are a few issues with the bodywork that still could be addressed. We did 95+% of the sheet metal work over the last handful of years (new quarters, trunk filler panel, door skins, etc). The floor pans are solid but the driver's side front has a little rust. The trunk floor is a little rusty with a some holes (but completely hidden by the custom enclosure). Under the driver's side drip rail is some metal work that could be done (small patch that should be filled up and painted). You can't see it unless you lean down under and look for it. There was a patch panel welded onto the driver's side door front edge. Again, the prep on it was poor so the edge of the panel cracked through the the paint a bit.
- a couple of small seam separations in the front seat (NOT tears..these can easily be stitched closed).

- the front and rear windshield trim isn't great. The front probably should be replaced. The rear isn't too bad, just needs to be re installed more tightly.

- the doors close like the heavy beasts they are. The driver's door sags a little so you have to be firm when closing it.

I would have no concern (and regularly do all of this) about putting the car on the road for a local cruise of the area, jumping on the highway to do 80 (or more ;-) to get somewhere, showing it off in a show/cruise night, or taking up to the speedway to run the 1/4.

I encourage you to come see it if you are serious. It doesn't disappoint.

I reserve the right to end the auction early as the car is for sale locally.

Supercharged 2015 Chevy Corvette Z06 takes the C7 beyond the ZR1

Mon, 13 Jan 2014

The Z06 is just about everything we got in the last ZR1, but better.
After a bright-yellow false start, here is the real thing: the fourth-generation, 2015 Corvette Z06. If Chevrolet makes a ZR1 version of the C7 Corvette, it's going to be absolutely mega, because the Z06 is just about everything we got in the last ZR1, but better.

1956 Corvette SR-2 factory racer profiled

Mon, Jan 19 2015

The Chevrolet Corvette has earned its place as America's sports car, capable of taking on the best the world can throw at it. Much of that winning reputation was earned with victories on the track. Now, there was a chance to own an early piece of the nameplate's motorsport history in the form of a 1956 Corvette SR-2 racer, but some deep pockets were necessary to get it, with an estimate of $6.885 million. The story behind the SR-2 is fascinating. In 1956, famous General Motors designer Harley Earl's son was racing in a Ferrari. Obviously, that wasn't going to work given his father's position within the automaker, and Harley and Corvette engineer Zora Arkus-Duntov got to work on a faster racecar. Three were made. This one was reportedly the first, and for 1957 it also received a fuel-injected V8 making a claimed 331 horsepower and four-speed manual gearbox, according to "Corvette Mike," the owner and seller. The SR-2 went on display in Scottsdale, AZ appropriately timed to coincide with the big Barrett-Jackson auction there that wrapped up this weekend. The car wasn't part of that event; instead marque specialist Mike Vietro sold the racer as a private treaty sale. Company spokesperson Troy Worrell told Autoblog both the bids and identities of the bidders will remain undisclosed. The video above goes into even deeper detail about this rare, finned Vette or check out the car's full description for even more info.

Recharge Wrap-up: Chevy Spark EV in Canada, Audi to use Valeo electric supercharger

Mon, Apr 13 2015

The Chevrolet Spark EV will become available to retail customers in Canada. "We're expanding our electric vehicle offerings to our customers by offering the 2016 Spark EV for retail sales in the growing EV markets here in Quebec as well as in Ontario and BC," says Chevrolet's Chris Hay. Chevrolet has not yet released pricing for the Spark EV in Canada. In the US, the Spark EV is available in California, Oregon and Maryland. Read more at Hybrid Cars. Four recreational vehicle companies in Texas have settled with the EPA over illegal import and sale of off-road vehicles. The 4,000-plus Hammerhead brand vehicles in question were imported without the proper certification, a violation of the Clean Air Act. Some vehicles lacked proper emission control equipment or were manufactured by a company not listed on the certificate application. The settlement totals $560,000 in civil penalties for the companies involved. Read more from the EPA. The Iowa Supreme Court has upheld the state's natural gas tax, which was challenged by the ethanol industry. Ethanol producers, which use natural gas to make ethanol, argued the complicated tax was unconstitutional, as it forced certain plants to pay more than their competitors. Taxes vary by location, and some plants have to tap into interstate pipelines at much higher tax rates rather than get it from a local utility. Now, ethanol producers will work to change the law. "My hope is that people understand that, something may be constitutional but that doesn't make it good public policy," says Iowa Renewable Fuels Association Executive Director Monte Shaw.

Valeo says Audi will launch a vehicle using its electric supercharger next year, with other reports suggesting that car will be the Audi Q7. The company says other unspecified automakers will also use the technology in their vehicles. While the electric supercharger adds to the vehicle's cost and electric energy use, it can improve fuel economy by as much as 20 percent. Read more at Automotive News Europe.
