NO RESERVE AUCTION MEANING THIS WILL BE SOLD TO THE HIGH BIDDER.

 Please be sure to all your questions about the car have been answered BEFORE BIDDING. 

Please also note I am looking for the high bidder to paypal a 300. Deposit immediately following auction end. Please be sure this works for you or I ask that you please do not bid.  Thanks

I’m told this is an original bucket seat with console car.  I will list the trim tag info when I can so anyone can verify that.

This car does have Air Conditioning for anyone that wants to get it up and working. I see it’s missing some pieces.

This car has an older restoration going back about 28 years or so.   I bought this car last year from a gentleman who has had the car since about 1985,  just about 30 years ago.  I am looking to put the funds in another place so someone is going to win a nice old chevy that with some work will be very nice.

This car is what I call a driving project. You can do as you wish to it as you go. 

The car will need a radio. It doesn’t look like the holes have  been altered. The dash pad has a crack. The glove box doesn’t like to stay closed. And the emergency brake and horn are inop. The heater blower does work but the levers are stif. It has a real nice looking inside. Some accelerator hesitation mostly when cold, possibly the choke.  The parking lights work as well as the headlights, tail lights, wipers and signals. I also see last week when I took it around the block it has some brake pulsation. The brakes do work ok as I had some brake work done last year.

The car looks to have just about  all it’s original sheet metal.  The paint still has a nice shine but does have some flaws but nothing major. For perfection you may want to paint it. The body underneath is just about as solid as I’ve seen in years.(as pictured)   I was told it had a replacement trunk floor put in it years ago.  I see one the rear body mounts look very nice and solid with one loose bolt.That still looks nice.   The chrome on the car especially the bumpers still has a real nice high shine  and look very decent.

It has a real nice sounding V8 that I believe is a 327.  Some numbers I found on the motor are T0820GF  for those who may want to verify that.  It also has a dual exhaust that isn't real old and sounds really sweet.  The transmission is a powerglide that shifts good.   

 

The mileage reads 52,176 which I can only assume has been over with it's age.

All in all this will make a real nice toy for someone.

 

It's not often you can find an old Malibu that hasn't been owned by a number of gearheads that have pounded it to death.  This one can be dialed in just the way you want it and be a nice nice 48 year old collector car !!

 

NO RESERVE AUCTION !!

 

Full payment can be made in a check but will take I’m told by my bank about 10 working days to fully clear the banking system so the car will be held along with the paperwork until fully cleared. If paid in cash in person or a bank to bank wire there would be no hold.  The vehicle is sold as is cond.  Connecticut uses the registration and title as one.  Ownership transfer is done on the reverse side in the buyers section. A bill of sale will also come with it.

 

Any questions please let me know. thanks

thanks for the questions.  any others let me know


On Apr-14-14 at 08:29:47 PDT, seller added the following information:

A common question I've been asked is have the front and rear floor pans had rot repair.  I have been under the car to look and the pans look original and look very solid. unless I missed something I don't see any bad areas.  Feel free to come and inspect the car yourself or send an inspection co. if that's easier.  thanks


On Apr-16-14 at 11:01:17 PDT, seller added the following information:

THANKS FOR THE HUGE RESPONSE.  I HAVE HAD A FEW QUESTIONS ASKING ABOUT THE PAINT.  AS I WROTE THE PAINT IS PROBABLY 25 YEARS OR SO OLD.  IT DOES STILL HAVE A REAL NICE SHINE BUT DOES HAVE SOME FLAWS FROM AGE HERE AND THERE.  BUT FOR THE MOST PART STILL SHOWS VERY NICE.  THE BODY ALSO SHOWS PRETTY STRAIGHT. IT'S NOT A REAL WAVY CAR LIKE SOME.  THANKS


On Apr-19-14 at 19:37:27 PDT, seller added the following information:

Thanks to all the people I've spoken to and those who took the time to look at the car.  I have had some very fair offers but think at this point since it's a no reserve auction I should let it run to the end out of fairness.  Thanks

Chevy EN-V 2.0 coming to Tianjin Eco-City in China

Fri, Jun 20 2014

Chevrolet is bringing its EN-V 2.0 to the Sino-Singapore Tianjin Eco-City in China to show off the "Electric Networked-Vehicle" and demonstrate sustainable urban mobility. The small, two-seat EV concept is an updated version of the original EN-V, a vision of getting around in a future world where space is at a premium and clean air is a priority. So what better place to showcase the evolved EN-V than at the Tianjin Eco-City? The Eco-City is being developed as a planned urban space with eco-consciousness built in. The joint venture between China and Singapore offers an alternative to country living and smog-filled cities. Tianjin Eco-City, slated to be completed by 2020, will be able to offer 350,000 inhabitants clean air and water, renewable energy, green transportation and living spaces and, if all goes as planned, jobs for 50 percent of the residents. Currently, only about three square kilometers of the planned 30 square kilometers have been built, with only about 6,000 permanent residents, but there's still time. The EN-V 2.0, as the "Networked" part of its name suggests, not only features mobile internet, but can communicate with other cars around it. Along with GPS and built-in sensors, this connection between vehicles allows the car to drive autonomously (at least in theory - again, there's still time). This is ideal in an urban environment where congestion can be a major issue. The EN-V 2.0 improves upon the original concept with climate control, storage space and all-weather capability, which also make life more bearable and daily commuting possible. We first saw renderings of the updated vehicle in 2012. The Chevrolet EN-V 2.0 will be used in the Eco-City's National Animation Industry Park and Eco-Business Park of the course of the two-week demonstration. Read on below for more in the press release from GM. GM to Demonstrate Chevrolet EN-V 2.0 in Tianjin Eco-City SHANGHAI – General Motors today announced that it will begin demonstrating the Chevrolet EN-V 2.0 (Electric Networked-Vehicle) in the Sino-Singapore Tianjin Eco-City this week, signaling the company's learning and progress in sustainable urban mobility. The demonstration will help GM further understand consumers' usage of low-speed transportation tools for their daily commute. During the two-week demonstration period, the EN-V 2.0s will be used in the National Animation Industry Park and Eco-Business Park inside the Sino-Singapore Tianjin Eco-City.

Chevy Volt sales drop in June, Nissan Leaf inches upwards

Tue, Jul 1 2014

Different month, same story. That's the gist of the monthly US sales numbers from the Chevy Volt and the Nissan Leaf. These were the first two mass-market plug-in vehicles to go on sale in the US and we've been comparing their sales numbers for what seems like ages now. So far, the 2014 tale of the tape shows the all-electric once again trumping the plug-in hybrid. The last time the Volt outsold the Leaf was in October 2013. Chevrolet sold 1,777 Volts in June. That was good enough to be the Volt's best sales month of the year, but it's down 34 percent from the 2,698 units sold in June 2013. In fact, it's on par with the 1,760 Volts sold in June 2012. Given the steady sales, General Motors might need to push up the release of the next-gen Volt to gin up excitement, especially if it also offers some of the things that current Volt drivers say they want improved: more range, a lower price and a fifth seat. GM also said it sold 85 Spark EVs in June, an increase of 215 percent over June 2013 Nissan sold 2,347 Leafs last month. The good news continues for Nissan, which says it sold 2,347 Leafs last month. That's an increase of 5.5 percent over 2013 numbers and makes 2014 the best June ever for Leaf sales. Let's credit Texas. Toby Perry, Nissan's director of EV sales and marketing, said in a statement that, "Since the Texas state incentive went into effect in May, we've seen a big jump in Leaf sales in the Austin, Dallas and Houston markets. Our dealers are telling us that they saw more traffic in their stores, and they had their best Leaf sales performance in the last weekend in June." Even with that increase, Atlanta remains the top Leaf market. Nissan has sold 12,736 Leafs in the US so far this year; Chevy 8,615 Volts. Our detailed monthly sales write-up of green cars in the US, including plug-in vehicles, hybrids and diesel cars, is coming soon. For now, we invite you to discuss these numbers in the Comments.
