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.

Weekly Recap: Racing legend Jim Hall explains Chevy's futuristic Chaparral concept
Sat, Nov 22 2014"I said our cars are built to be winners." – Jim Hall Racing legend Jim Hall never thought he'd be a video game consultant, but when Chevrolet asked for his advice to create a futuristic Chaparral for the Vision Gran Turismo series, he was eager to help. He reviewed early sketches and suggested some changes that made it onto the concept, including the addition of a camera that's mounted onto a mast over the cabin to aid the driver. The Chevy Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo concept was revealed this week at the Los Angeles Auto Show and will be part of a downloadable update for PlayStation 3's Gran Turismo 6 in December. Theoretically, at least, it uses a laser-beam propulsion system and an air-powered generator to produce 900 horsepower in the video game. It's capable of sprinting to 60 miles per hour in 1.5 seconds en route to a top speed of 240 mph. Those gaudy performance specs – even in the virtual world – came at Hall's urging. "I said our cars are built to be winners," Hall told Autoblog on the floor of the Los Angeles show. The 79-year-old drove Lotus racecars in Formula One before launching the successful Chaparral Cars in the 1960s. Like his innovative Can-Am racers, the Vision Gran Turismo project has an eye toward the future. It also introduces the iconic Chaparral name to a new generation of fans, and hopefully, Hall says, gets them excited about engineering and design. "It emulates what we did in the '60s," he said. And what they did back then still resonates. Chaparral Racing and Chevy partnered more than 45 years ago for development work on the composite monocoque chassis, lightweight alloy powertrains, automatic gearboxes and active aerodynamics. "He [Hall] walked right back into this and was able to apply thinkings and learnings," said Clay Dean, General Motors executive director of advanced design. The Chevy Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo concept was created at GM's North Hollywood advanced design studio, and it will be on display at the show through November.

GM recalls Cadillac ATS and Chevy Impala for separate issues
Fri, Feb 27 2015The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration added two recalls from General Motors in the government organization's daily update of safety campaigns. Both were for failing to meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards but for completely separate reasons. The larger recall covers 58,698 units of the 2013-2015 Cadillac ATS, but it doesn't really carry huge safety concerns. In vehicles produced between April 25, 2012, and February 9, 2015, the controls for the tilt and slide of the moonroof are not recessed enough, as required by federal law. According to NHTSA, it's possible that someone could inadvertently activate the auto-close for the roof panel, which the agency claims increases "the risk of personal injury." Dealers will install a new trim plate that will add the necessary clearance. The other campaign covers 1,177 examples of the 2014 Chevrolet Impala from between November 15, 2012, and May 27, 2014. However, this is actually a repeat of a previous recall on the Chevy and the Cadillac XTS from 2014. The affected Impalas here "were remedied incorrectly" under the earlier campaign, according to NHTSA. On these sedans, it's possible the electronic parking brake might not fully disengage and still remain in some contact with the rotor, which is in violation of federal rules. The fault can cause excessive heat from the brakes that could potentially lead to a fire, according to NHTSA. To fix the problem, dealers will reprogram the electronic parking brake control module. Show full PR text RECALL Subject : Inadvertent Press of Roof Panel Switch/FMVSS 118 Report Receipt Date: FEB 24, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V106000 Component(s): VISIBILITY Potential Number of Units Affected: 58,698 All Products Associated with this Recall Vehicle Make Model Model Year(s) CADILLAC ATS 2013-2015 Details Manufacturer: General Motors LLC SUMMARY: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2013-2015 Cadillac ATS vehicles manufactured April 25, 2012, to February 9, 2015. In the affected vehicles, the power-operated roof panels auto-close when the non-recessed "Slide" or "Tilt" switches are pressed. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) No.
