I am listing for auction a beautiful 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu 307 Coupe. The exterior is finished in Misty Turquoise (original color) and has a black bench-seat interior. I had purchased this car from the grandson of the original owner. Therefore, it has belonged only to two parties....the original-owning family, and myself. I have the owner's manual and warranty booklet with PROTECT-O-PLATE in the original owner's name so you can see the relationship to the previous owner. I purchased this car with the intention of keeping it in it's original state, which I had done. Since my ownership, I've changed nothing with the exception of replacing the original plastic inner fenders with a pair of steel inner fenders. The plastic ones were cracked very badly and given the weight of the battery on the RH side, steel replacements were the only sensible option. I have also replaced the alternator with a correct Delco unit while retaining the original as I understand the value of original, date-coded components. Aside from the previously mentioned, as well as regular maintenance, it has been well cared for.
It is equipped with a 307 V8 engine, TH350 transmission, and a non-posi rear axle. Given my lengthy conversations with the previous owner, I believe these components to be original. The car honestly runs, handles, and operates just as you would expect of a car of this age and 61,xxx miles. The Malibu has power steering, but not much else. It has manual drum brakes (actually stops very well), non-A/C, non-tilt steering column, manual windows, and AM radio (works).
The previous owner, between the years of 1997-99, had the vehicle COMPLETELY gone through mechanically. All lights and gauges work properly (including the fuel gauge and speedometer/odometer). I have ALL receipts for EVERYTHING repaired on the car. During this period, the body had also undergone restoration/reconditioning. Again, I have ALL receipts and documentation for the body and interior labor performed as well as receipts for ALL parts purchased. As the pictures show, the body is rust-free. The Malibu has had new FULL 1/4 panels (OEM) installed and new front fenders (reproduction). The floors are solid as is the trunk (see pictures). Some of the brightwork is in need of replacement as the door handles, LH mirror, and some of the vinyl top trim were re-installed rather than replaced at the time of restoration. The seats had cloth/vinyl protective covers installed OVER the original seat covers (still underneath the protective covers). I believe this to be done by the original owner. I was actually prepared to have the seats recovered until I later discovered that they were only protective covers OVER the originals. There are well over $9,500 in receipts verifying all work done. Although there is a reserve, it is very reasonable and relative to market value for a vehicle in this condition despite the thousands spent on the recondition/restoration.
Please feel free to message me with any questions and I will reply to you as quickly as I'm able to. This vehicle is being sold AS-IS/AS DESCRIBED. I strongly feel that it would be in the best interest of any prospective buyer to personally inspect the vehicle BEFORE placing a bid rather than bidding sight-unseen so there are no later disagreements or misunderstandings regarding the representation of the vehicle as described/illustrated. By placing a bid, you are entering upon an agreement to follow through with the purchase of this vehicle should you win the auction. A non-refundable deposit of $500 is due within 48 hours of auction end. The remainder of payment due within 7 days of auction end (unless other arrangements are made and agreed upon). If the preceeding terms are not met, I reserve the right to re-list the auction. I do not have the capability of shipping the vehicle, therefore ALL transport/travel arrangements and costs are solely the responsibility of the buyer. All payments/funds must clear PRIOR to release of the vehicle and title, so please understand that weekends may not be suitable if paying via cashier's/bank check. My time and yours are very valuable, so please do not bid unless you fully intend on following through with the purchase. Again, please feel free to ask any questions and thank you for looking at my auction.

Just a note regarding the drivability and operation of the car....I had driven it home approximately 350 miles after purchasing it from the previous owner. I had my reservations and had my wife and kids follow me in our GMC Envoy, especially considering he had not driven it much at all since the 1997-99 time period. I came prepared with tools, hoses, belts, points/condenser, etc. As it turns out....I needed NONE of it. All that was necessary was a quart of oil and a lot of gas. The trip was mostly highway driving between 65-70 mph. The car handled much better than I had expected and quickly gained my confidence. Since then it is just driven on clear days typically joyriding with my sons. It starts without fail everytime and runs well.

I am including a link to more photos. This is the photo album by the previous owner and may help answer any questions. PLEASE NOTE....The cracked plastic inner fenders in these pics have been replaced with a NEW steel pair after I took ownership.

2018 Autoblog Technology of the Year finalists
Wed, Jan 10 2018After months of prepping and several days of testing, we narrowed the field for Autoblog's 2018 Tech of the Year award to the Nissan Rogue with ProPilot Assist semi-autonomous driving system, the Lexus LC 500h and its new hybrid powertrain, and the Chevy Colorado ZR2 and its trick Multimatic spool-valve off-road shocks. Three very different cars with very different technologies duking it out for the award. Look for news of our winner at the 2018 Detroit Auto Show. We hand out this award every year to the technology or feature that we feel moves the bar forward for the automotive industry. Read more here on how our testing process works. We discuss, debate and count up score sheets, judging each vehicle and technology on a few different criteria. Is its purpose noteworthy? Does it work well? Does it advance the industry? The Nissan Rogue with ProPilot Assist was actually a prototype, as the technology will first debut in the 2018 Nissan Leaf. Still, we're here to test the tech and not the car. ProPilot Assist combines adaptive cruise control system combined with lane-keeping assistance. The system uses sonar, radar and a number of cameras for some light semi-autonomous driving and enhanced safety. While these systems aren't new individually, Nissan's system is affordable, intuitive, and coming to a mainstream product — democratizing the tech in a novel way, if you will. That's why it's here. The Lexus LC 500h uses a new powertrain that Lexus has dubbed the Multi-Stage Hybrid System. Basically it combines two types of transmissions — a CVT and a four-speed automatic — in a single unit mated to a naturally aspirated V6. That's complex and unorthodox technology, and Lexus engineered it to give drivers the efficiency of a CVT without sacrificing driving enjoyment. The package is subtle, working in the background to create a nearly seamless driving experience. It's engaging in a way most other hybrids can only dream of. The fact that it's wrapped in such gorgeous sheetmetal only makes things better. The Multimatic spool valve shocks in the Chevy Colorado ZR2 might seem low-tech compared to ProPilot Assist and the Lexus Multi-Stage Hybrid, but they represent a completely novel application of a technology that several years ago was so expensive that it was reserved for top-tier race cars. Like the LC 500h, these shocks really change your perception of how a vehicle like this should drive.
Race Recap: 2013 Indianapolis 500 better than Bollywood; all the emotion, none of the music [spoilers]
Mon, 27 May 2013If the 2013 Indy 500 were a movie it would be the one expected to win all the little statues come awards season, and if it were an athlete it would have made spectators watch in awe as it broke record after record. And this kind of talk comes after last year's race was considered one of the best ever - the last lap hijinks in 2012 and Takuma Sato's crash leading to a podium ceremony straight out of a Golden Globes tearjerker.
But this year's race delivered more than anyone expected, from the 250,000 fans to the commentators to the IndyCar series itself and, finally, to the guy who hopped through a two-mile window on Lap 197 to take the lead and keep it until the end.
Recharge Wrap-up: Renault Zoe recall, Proterra buses log 2M miles
Fri, Mar 25 2016Renault is recalling 10,649 examples of its Zoe electric car for potential brake hose failure. Cars built at the company's Flins factory between the Zoe's 2012 introduction and October 6, 2014 - a quarter of all Zoes ever built - are subject to the recall, though no accidents have been reported from rupturing brake lines. Recalled vehicles will have the brake hose positions inspected and, if need be, fixed. Read more from Reuters. Proposed legislation in Massachusetts would make the state even more EV friendly. While the state already encourages EV adoption with a $2,500 rebate incentive, the new bill would give battery electric vehicle drivers HOV lane access. Additionally it would set up a standard building code for EV chargers, and allow EV-only parking spaces. "With decreased gas prices, a 10 percent increase in vehicle miles traveled over the last 20 years, and a carpool rate below the national average, we must address personal vehicle use directly as part of our transportation emissions reduction strategy," says Rep. Frank Smizik. Read more from Teslarati. The New York Daily News has named the 2016 Chevrolet Volt as its "Green Machine of the Year." Seamless operation, peppiness, and a nice suite of equipment make it a top choice for the publication. "The 2016 Chevrolet Volt is all new, inside and out, and takes the plug-in hybrid segment to another level, thanks to its increased EV range, updated cabin, and more efficient gas-powered engine," writes Daily News Autos writer (and all-around good guy) Nick Kurczewski. Honorable mentions go to the Tesla Model S, BMW i3, Toyota Prius, and the hydrogen-powered Toyota Mirai. Read more from the Daily News, or at Clean Technica. Proterra electric buses have accumulated 2 million miles of revenue service. That equals 3,800 tons of carbon emissions that have been prevented and 420,000 gallons of fuel unburned. Proterra says it has 63 buses in service in 15 cities, and that it is ramping up production to meet growing demand. "This latest milestone exemplifies the economic, environmental and civic value of electric mass transit," says Proterra CEO Ryan Popple, "and demonstrates to the transit agencies that diesel - often viewed as a necessary evil - is no longer necessary."
