1972 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu Hardtop 2-door 5.7l Project Pro Touring Car on 2040-cars
Leland, North Carolina, United States
|
This is an excellent project car that unfortunately I do not have time to complete. Classic Chevy muscle car ready for a new home.
Suspension/Engine/Transmission: Car has many upgrades to the suspension; I was aiming to complete the Chevelle in a Pro touring style. The car features Hotchkis suspension package with Eibach springs, Jegs 12 bolt, 3.73 posi rear end. Crate small block Chevy 350 with Edelbrock 64cc heads, Edelbrock Super Victor manifold, 700R4 transmission, Holley carburetor. Both engine and transmission have less than 2,000 miles and were removed from a Monte Carlo. New brakes with disc brake upgrade, new tires/wheels. New brake master cylinder also is included. Body/Frame/Glass: Car features a completely refurbished frame. Also, I have purchased a complete stainless hardware kit for the car which is included. The body was removed and the frame was blasted, repaired, laser aligned and repainted. All glass is original with the exception of the rear window which was purchased new. Both fenders are new and installed on car; wheel wells are included. Driver door is original and is in good condition and I purchased a new passenger door (hinges for both have been rebuilt and installed). Car comes with brand new front and rear bumpers and also a new fiberglass cowl style hood (with correct hood springs installed). I also have a new trunk lid that is on the car currently. I will note that there is corrosion on the body, specifically on the front windshield sill, and quarter panels that will need to be tended to (see pictures) however the car is originally a Tennessee car and is in good condition otherwise. The floor pan has very minor corrosion with a few small holes. I have patch panels I purchased which come with the car. The trunk pan has already been entirely replaced. The front clip is entirely new/refurbished with an aluminum radiator, and all other parts blasted and repainted. I also have a new gas tank. If you have any questions about the condition of the body or any other part of this car, please don't hesitate to ask! Various: I have many, many extra parts for this car. At least two complete air conditioning units with associated vacuum hoses, at least three gauge clusters, two sets of front light buckets, all the chrome needed for the front lights and various chrome trim pieces from the original car. As shown above, the Chevelle has many upgrades and is very close to being a fast, road ready cruiser. The car only needs grille, body work, various interior/trim parts, and some time to bring this Chevelle to showroom condition. I have well over the listed price into this car but am looking to clear out the garage for summer. Please feel free to give me reasonable offers. If you have any questions at all about the car or would like additional pictures of any portion of the car in particular, please just ask! Buyer assumes responsibility for pickup or delivery. Thanks for reading! |

Question of the Day: What's the most irritating car name?
Wed, Mar 9 2016You hear a lot about how the Chevrolet Nova was a sales flop in Mexico because "No va" means "it doesn't go" in Spanish; in fact, the Nova sold pretty well south of the border, and in any case most Spanish-speakers know that "Nova" means "new" in Latin and Portuguese. However, General Motors doesn't deserve to be let off the hook for bad car names, because the Oldsmobile Achieva— no doubt inspired by the excruciating "coffee achievers" ads of the 1980s— scrapes the biggest fingernails down the screechiest chalkboard in the US-market car-name world. That is, unless you think Daihatsu's incomprehensible choice of Charade was worse. Meanwhile, Japanese car buyers could get machines with cool names like Mazda Bongo Friendee or Honda Life Dunk. It's just not fair! So, what car name drives you the craziest? Related Video: Auto News Design/Style Chevrolet Honda Mazda Daihatsu Automotive History questions car names
Leak reveals GM's 2017 heavy duty diesel trucks to get 910 lb-ft of torque [UPDATE]
Tue, Sep 27 2016UPDATE: Chevrolet officially announced specs for the 2017 Silverado HD and the rumors were true. The truck's new Duramax 6.6-liter turbo-diesel V8 puts out 445 horsepower and 910 pound-feet of torque. Chevrolet says the new motor produces 19 percent more torque and 12 percent more horsepower, while producing 35 percent fewer emissions. Overall, the new engine is a big improvement over the current motor, which generates 397 horsepower and 765 pound-feet of torque. According to Truck Trend, GM's newest heavy duty pickup trucks will pick up quite a bit more power and torque. The publication spotted a recent GM Powertrain ordering catalog that had the engine specs for the 2017 model year and managed to get some screenshots before the catalog was taken down, and they can be viewed here. The screenshots revealed that the 6.6-liter turbodiesel V8 powering the Silverado and Sierra heavy duty models will boast 445 horsepower and 910 lb-ft of torque. This is a substantial gain over the current models' 397 horsepower and 765 lb-ft of torque, and as Truck Trend points out, it exceeds the Ford Super Duty line's horsepower output of 440, but comes short of the 925 lb-ft rating. Truck Trend credits part of this output gain to the new intake system GM will introduce on the 2017 heavy duties. The intake gets 60 percent of its air from a scoop on the hood, with the other 40 percent coming from behind one of the front fenders. GM doesn't reveal horsepower figures in the press release about the scoop, but it does say the cooler air helps with maintaining the engine's output, and that the scoop does produce a ram-air affect, providing more air at speed. As we know, more air plus more fuel equals more power, but there's likely more to the power increase in this engine than only the intake.

GM natural gas-powered vans recalled due to possible leak
Wed, Sep 24 2014General Motors is recalling almost 3,200 of its compressed-natural-gas powered utility vans because of possible leaks. GM and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) released a notice last week saying that 3,196 Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana CNG vans are on recall, though no accidents have been reported due to the possible issue. The recall is specifically for vans for model years ranging from 2011 to 2014. The recall stems from a potential leak from the compressed natural gas high-pressure regulator, and such a leak could cause a fire or explosion. GM will replace the vehicles' high-pressure regulator in order to fix the problem, will do it free of charge and is instructing owners to contact Chevrolet or GMC customer service to arrange for the parts replacement. Utility vehicle makers like General Motors have pushed for fleet sales of CNG-powered vans and trucks for the past few years and have touted them for their cheaper refueling costs relative to standard gasoline, not to mention the fact that natural gas can be readily sourced from throughout North America (thanks, fracking). According to CNGPrices.com, compressed natural gas sells for about $2.22 a gallon, on average, while the AAA is pegging the average price of gas at $3.34 a gallon. NHTSA has posted information on the recall here. Featured Gallery News Source: NHTSA via Reuters Green Chevrolet GM GMC Natural Gas Vehicles CNG gmc savana
