You won't find a cleaner Chevelle that is a true original. Nearly everything on this car is from factory 1972 and in flawless original 32,000 miles condition. The few changes to the car are considered bolt on conversions and I have all necessary parts to convert this car back to original factory specs. I also have the original restricto plate from the factory which is very rare and adds additional value to the car.

 

I have added a Flowmaster dual exhaust from the factory manifolds back, BF Goodrich Radial T/A's with less than 3000 miles on them. In 2009 I added brand new all steel chromed period correct Chevrolet Rally wheels with full metal center caps. Wheels alone were $2400 new for the set due to the “Chevrolet Motor Division” logo etched on the steel center caps which is OEM 1972 Chevrolet spec. The original owner replaced the AM radio with an AM/FM tape deck and added two rear speakers. I do have the original working AM radio, factory rear speaker and a new rear deck shelf if you wanted the interior back to 100% original. This car came new with steel wheels and hub caps and I have the original hub caps to go with the car as well.

 

This is a 350 Malibu package with an unmolested and never painted 350 V8 2 barrel carb and even the air cleaner decal is original. Runs like brand new with only 32,000 original miles and doesn’t burn or leak any oil at all even during heavy acceleration. I did remove and re-paint the valve covers in 2009. I also replaced the radiator in 2008 and found another factory radiator for this car still in the original box from 1972. Everything in the engine compartment is as clean as the day the car was made and has the original hood insulation.

 

The TH 350 transmission shifts flawlessly. I had a classic car mechanic in my area give the car a complete bumper to bumper diagnostic and everything was in perfect order. This car has no oil pan, Trans, rear main seal leaks or differential leaks.

 

Undercarriage was seal coated from the dealer and is not pealing. There is no rusting on the frame, suspension or gas tank and straps.

 

The interior is a standard bench seat automatic. No rips, no tears, carpet looks brand new and not frayed anywhere. Not a crack or bubble anywhere on the dash board and none of the plastic molding on the dash display is chipped, damaged or faded in any way. Floor mats are factory original to match the interior and look brand new. I can supply additional interior pictures upon request.

 

The pictures don't give the condition of the body and chrome justice. Paint and chrome are both 100% original with no dents, scratches, discoloration, and cracking or rust anywhere on or under the paint. The chrome all around the car has no pitting, pealing or rust. These cars were painted by hand in 1972 and there is a tiny factory paint overrun on the front fender which is only noticeable if you are told where to look. The original owner wanted a Heavy Chevy but couldn't afford the up charge so decided to have the signature stripe added before taking delivery. Stripe decal shows very little cracking and is very intact.

 

From new this car has been garage kept during winter months and has been very well taken care of since production 42 years ago. The oil has been changed every year in the fall and has been properly conditioned for climate controlled storage conditions year round. I also have a felt car cover included in the sale of this vehicle.

NHTSA could add 1M cars to GM recall

Wed, 13 Mar 2013


The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.

2014 Chevy Silverado priced from *$24,585, V8 gets better economy than Ford EcoBoost V6

Mon, 01 Apr 2013

Chevrolet has thrown down the next hand in the pickup truck poker wars and revealed at least a couple of potential aces - depending on which numbers matter most to you. The 2014 2014 Silverado 1500 with its 5.3-liter EcoTec3 V8 gets 335 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque, is mated to a six-speed automatic, can tow 11,500 pounds with the optional Max Trailer Package and costs the same as the outgoing Silverado, $24,585 (*including $995 destination fee). Chevy says the Silverado also stands atop the fuel economy charts when comparing any competitor with a V8 engine - and some competitors with V6 engines. The two-wheel drive model returns 16 miles per gallon city, 23 mpg highway, 19 mpg combined in two-wheel drive guise and 16 mpg city, 22 mpg highway and 18 mpg combined as a four-wheel drive.
For context around those numbers, the most fuel efficient V8-powered 2013 Ford F-150 pickups lose about two mpg in every metric compared to the Silverado, the 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost returning 16 city, 18 highway and 22 combined in two-wheel drive. However, that EcoBoost does have 365 hp and 420 lb-ft of torque. You can get a Ram 1500 with a 3.6-liter V6 that gets 25 mpg highway, but it has 305 hp and 269 lb-ft of torque. The 2013 Ram with the 5.7-liter Hemi V8 and its 395 hp and 407 lb-ft drops one mpg in every category to the Silverado. Its tow rating is 200 pounds beyond its nearest competitor, the F-150 with the Max Trailer Tow Package.
Elsewhere, the new Silverado gets a quieter cab with a redesigned interior, a new bed with improved load-management possibilities, disc brakes all around, tweaked steering and suspension, along with free standard scheduled maintenance for two years or 24,000 miles.

Safety group pans GM’s new Marketplace in-dash shopping

Wed, Dec 6 2017

When it comes to our cars, is the Internet of Things a godsend? Or a hidden menace that will create more problems than it will solve? On the same day General Motors announced it will equip newer-model cars with its in-dash Marketplace e-commerce app, a prominent safety group was shooting it down. National Safety Council President Deborah Hersman tells Bloomberg the technology will only contribute to distracted driving and hurt efforts to stem the tide of rising auto fatalities, which grew 5.6 percent to more than 37,000 in the U.S. in 2016. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says distracted driving was responsible for 3,477 fatalities and 391,000 injuries in 2015, the most recent year for which it has data. "There's nothing about this that's safe," Hersman told Bloomberg. "If this is why they want WiFi in the car, we're going to see fatality numbers go up even higher than they are now." Marketplace, developed with IBM, will allow drivers — or more often, one hopes, their passengers — to order coffee or food, find gas stations and reserve hotel rooms from their dashboard screens. The technology is set to be uploaded automatically to nearly 1.9 million GM vehicles model-year 2017 and later that are equipped with WiFi hotspots and compatible systems. By the end of 2018, about 4 million Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac vehicles will be equipped with Marketplace. The app will debut with a limited number of participating retailers, including TGI Fridays, Shell, Exxon Mobil and Starbucks, with more likely to join later. Online retail giant Amazon is also partnering with automakers such as Ford to bring e-commerce capabilities inside the car through its Alexa personal assistant. While convenience is nice, one other thing is becoming clear as the IoT wedges its way into our cars: It's taking aim at some decidedly first-world problems.Related Video: Image Credit: GM Buick Cadillac Chevrolet GM GMC Technology Infotainment in-car entertainment marketplace e-commerce
