"BARN FIND", This car has sat for about 20 years and is in good shape. * Mileage on odometer is 54,165 but title says not actual.* I am the second owner, as the original owner passed away recently and I purchased it from his family. This Collectors Edition would be a great candidate for a restoration project as it appears to be fairly complete. The frame is solid but has a coating of rust from sitting in a garage with a concrete floor. The seats, door panels, carpet, and trim are in decent shape. The windshield has a crack, the rest of the glass, including the T-tops are in great shape. The rear glass is heated and opens (Only the Collectors edition has this feature). The front bumper has some damage on the front right side, there are paint chips all over and the car could use a paint job.  The engine has not been started and at present does not run. The brake bleeders were removed by the previous owners son in an attempt to move the car ( the parking brake shoes were frozen to the rotor hubs, and were removed) , so the brakes are not functioning at present. The rear exhaust was removed previously and comes with a new Y-pipe. I have done nothing to this car but transport it to my home, and only have knowlege which was passed on to me by the original owners family. I bought it with plans to restore it but have other projects which take precedence. This car comes to you as I got it and if you purchase it with the "buy it now", not only will you get the car, but you will also receive a beverage and snack when you come to pick it up (Must be trailered). A non-refundable deposit of $500.00  via Pay Pal is due upon winning bid/purchase with the balance due in __"CASH"__  "NO CHECKS"___  when car is picked up within 7 days! There are no warranties and is sold where is / as is. Questions are welcome. The zip code is 46385, Valparaiso, Indiana.

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit

Mon, 20 Jun 2011

Bob 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.

Personal testimonies show real-world effect of plugging in with Chevy Volt

Mon, Jan 13 2014

At this point, there are tens of thousands of individual stories about what it's like to live with a Chevrolet Volt. But it also remains informative to take a look at one of these in depth. For example, one Atlanta-area Volt owner says he's cut his cents-per-mile ownership costs by almost 40 percent compared to his previous car primarily because of his ability to drive almost all the time on electric power. Jeffrey Cohen told Clean Technica that he put about 14,000 miles on his Volt extended-range plug-in hybrid for the year that ended October 2013, and that more than 92 percent of those were on electrons. He estimates his "lifetime" miles per gallon rating at a whopping 384 mpg, a figure pushed upward by the fact that he installed a Level 2 charger at home while his employer added an external 110-volt charger at work. Cohen is spending 45 cents a mile for his car, compared to 73 cents in his Infiniti M35. As a result, he's spending 45 cents a mile for his car, compared to 73 cents a mile with his prior vehicle, an Infiniti M35. About two-thirds of those Volt costs are for the $349-a-month lease payments, while 15 percent is insurance, 11 percent is for the charger and seven percent for the gas and electricity that actually powers the car. Helping lower that last figure is an overnight electricity rate that's about 10 percent of Cohen's daytime rate. Chevy parent General Motors hopes such testimonies will re-trigger sales for the Volt in 2014. Last year, GM sold 23,094 Volts, down 1.6 percent from 2012. We expect our readers have similar stories they'd like to share in the Comments.

Tarantino's stolen Chevy Malibu from Pulp Fiction recovered after 19 years [w/video]

Mon, 29 Apr 2013

Quentin Tarantino fans will likely remember Vincent Vega's cherry 1964 Chevrolet Malibu Convertible in Pulp Fiction. In a movie drenched in automotive references, the Malibu is very nearly a character in and of itself, and it serves as the subject of Vega's soliloquy about the kind of man who vandalizes another's automobile. It also happened to be Tarantino's personal car when the film was shot, and was apparently stolen shortly after production wrapped. Now police have located the car some 19 years later.
As it turns out, the thieves cloned the vehicle identification number from another '64 Malibu and had the car registered under the new digits. It was then sold to an unsuspecting buyer. Police happened upon the duplicate VINs while investigating another potential theft. Right now, it's unclear whether Tarantino has taken possession of the Chevrolet, if it has remained in the possession of the fraud victim, or whether it's caught somewhere in the gears of justice. Either way, you can catch Vega's memorable thoughts on the car keying in the Pulp Fiction clip below. But consider yourself warned: the video contains explicit language as Not Safe For Work as it comes.
