I am selling my 1976 Chev Malibu to a good home . Here is some history on the car. The original owner passed away and the car was put into storage on blocks for 24 years. The 2nd owner had a new gas tank, radiator, brakes, shocks, complete tune up, new battery and Radiator. They barely used the car in the time they owned it . I purchased the car 5 years ago and have taken good care of it since. I have done a few things to the car in the time I have owned it such as, New BF Goodrich T/A tires ( less than 200 miles on the tires and I have the original tires still for the car, the spare tire is original) New dual exhaust with catalytic converters, New springs, changed the a/c over to R134 and works well ( blower switch needs to be replaced as it will not blow on high setting) I have had all the fluids in the car replaced as well . The car has power steering , power brakes. I also have a new complete weather stripping kit as well as new hood insulation and door sill plates and a new master cylinder, deck lid and new hood ornament ( not included in the sale price ) These items I will sell for an additional price if you are interested. More pictures are available if requested. I have babied this car since I have owned it and only used it for car shows. It is all original including the paint ( paint cracking, GM lacquer paint is bad for this ) . there is a little bubbling under the original vinyl and the glue is starting to show through ... the roof will need to be replaced but has no rips . The body has a few very small dents but nothing major , there is no rust on the car ! The interior is perfect ! never smoked in and the seats as well as the carpet and head liner is perfect with no rips, the dash is perfect with no cracks ! the car runs very well but the seals will need replacing at some point from age . The transmission has a leak but shifts smoothly. I have no reservations on driving this car anywhere as it runs very well. It does smoke when you first start it but it does NOT BURN OIL ! ( I was told by a mechanic I need to replace the valve stem seals or the car just needs a good run from sitting all the time. I don't have the time to work on or fully enjoy this car and it just sits in the garage 99% of the time. I have an appraisal which values the car at 8000.00 before I had the new tires and dual exhaust added.

Car and Driver 10Best list cracked by Tesla Model S, BMW 3 Series left off
Fri, Nov 21 2014Car and Driver is keeping new blood pumping into its annual 10Best cars list with three new entries making it on for 2015 and a perennial favorite falling off. Among the biggest shocks this year is that the BMW 3 Series and 4 Series are no longer named, despite years of some portion of that lineup earning a mention. In another surprise, the Tesla Model S (specifically in S 60 trim to fit under the $80,000 cost cap) makes it to the 2015 roster and is the only electrically motivated member of the group. Despite the loss of the 3 Series, BMW isn't entirely shut out this year, because the M235i gets its name on the list. Car and Driver argues that the little coupe feels like a welcome throwback to the E46 chassis M3 of the early 2000s. In addition to the Model S, the final newbie to the annual group is the 2015 Ford Mustang GT. The inclusion of these new members knocks the Audi A6/A7 family and Ford Fiesta ST out from the 2014 rundown. The other seven models carry over from last year, including the Cadillac CTS, Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, Honda Accord, Mazda3, Mazda6, Porsche Boxster/Cayman and Volkswagen Golf/GTI. The 2015 10Best cars list certainly seems to have something for everyone from the hot hatch fan to the family man and even the green car driver, thanks to the addition of the Tesla. Head over to Car and Driver to read its detailed explanations for each vehicle's inclusion, but if you've got a difference of opinion or just really like the list, let us know in Comments.

Next Chevy Volt will be 2016 model and ride on new chassis
Fri, Mar 7 2014What do we know about the 2016 Chevy Volt? Well, for now, all we can do is try to put the puzzle together without the box. Thankfully, a new batch of pieces has arrived from a new report in Edmunds, which says that the 2016 model year will introduce the second generation of a car that hasn't been dramatically updated since it went on sale in 2010. The new Volt is getting an "evolutionary styling change" and will ride on a new front-drive platform that has been developed by General Motors. GM's Kevin Kelly told AutoblogGreen that he has "no comment on future products," but he did acknowledge that Chevrolet is working on a second-generation Volt, "but I can't say anything about timing." Everybody already knew that a next-gen Volt is coming, so that's not a surprise. What we don't know is any real concrete information on the car itself. The few tidbits of information we do have help define the outlines of the next version of Chevy's halo car, but they're not confirmed yet. For the record, they range from the eye-raising (a $10,000 price drop) to the logical (20 percent more electric range). We can't see the whole picture yet, but the pieces do point to the 2016 Volt, which would be released next year sometime, being a much bigger deal than the last update, when the Volt's range was increased by three electric miles thanks to a battery capacity increase of 16 kWh to 16.5.
