1973 Chevelle Malibu SS Colonnade Coupe
The third generation Chevelle (73-77) had the most extensive
redesign in its 10-year history. With it marked the introduction of the
newly named Colonnade Hardtop which featured a semi fastback roofline,
frameless door glass and fixed styled "B" pillars. Rear windows on
coupes no longer opened and the front and rear ends looked quite
different as 1973 was the first year of the federally mandated 5 mph
bumpers. Other firsts with the third generation were the 22 gallon fuel
tank, swivel bucket seats (coupes only) and it also boasted increased
interior and cargo space as well as better visibility. The newly
designed Chevelle also had a completely redesigned chassis which enabled
it handle significantly better than its predecessor and was ultimately
considered to be an exceptional driver’s car. This particular example
was nicely optioned with a 350 V8 engine, a Turbo Hydramatic
transmission, a 10 bolt posi rear end, the coveted SS package and is
accompanied by a build sheet for verification. It currently has 89,310
original miles. It was repainted in its original colors of Tuxedo Black
and Silver back in 2003 and it still shows very well. The interior is
completely original and ha held up incredibly well. The original 14”
rally rims were replaced with 15” billet aluminum rally rims that look
awesome but the originals are included. The carb was replaced with a
650cfm Edelbrock 4 barrel and it has an aftermarket stereo. You will
also notice that the valve covers and air cleaner have been replaced
with chrome ones but the originals are also included. Other than the
previously mentioned items, the performance exhaust and the battery this
car is all original. Based on the very low production numbers for this
year and the overall condition of this car it is priced to move!

NHTSA closes book on Ford, GM probes of 600,000 vehicles
Thu, Nov 27 2014US safety regulators have closed a pair of investigations into some 500,000 Ford Crown Victoria, Mercury Grand Marquis and Marauder sedans built between 2004 to 2007, and 100,000 Chevrolet Impala models from 2014. The Ford investigation focused on rusting heat shields, which may become dislodged and jam the steering, according to Reuters. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found that this happened very rarely. In fact, of the ten incidents filed with the government safety watchdog, six came from a single police department, which evidently had some sort of problem with its reporting. As for the Impala, the NHTSA investigators attributed two incidences of "unintended autonomous braking" to user error. In both cases, the vehicles were involved in rear-end collisions. According to GM investigators, it's believed that drivers accidentally activated the electric parking brake, causing the collisions. The vehicles in question were rental cars.

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
Corvette Stolen In Detroit Returned To Owner After 33 Years
Wed, Jun 25 2014A Detroit man had his stolen Corvette returned 33 years after it disappeared while parked on one of Detroit's main drags, according to ABC 7. The last time George Talley saw his 1979 Corvette was on a July day in 1981, when it disappeared from its parking spot on Jefferson Avenue in Detroit. He had given up hope of ever seeing his car again, until a phone call from AAA brought his sporty ride home. Authorities had come across a Corvette with a questionable VIN in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. When they ran the number Talley's stolen car report came up. The car is still in pretty good shape and only has 47,000 miles on the odometer. Talley wasn't sure how he could get the car back home, but General Motors stepped in and agreed to cover the cost of bringing the 'Vette home. Talley has always had a passion for Detroit-made muscle cars. "I've always liked Corvettes. It was attractive. The ladies like 'em," Talley told ABC 7.
