Edison, New Jersey, United States

 Up for auction is a 1964 Malibu SS convertible. It is  non-number matching car, it is not restored and is definitely a driver. Title is clean. At some point in its life the original motor and trans were pulled. The history, reason and when that happened is unknown to us. When my family got the car it had the motor/trans as seen in the pics, a 350 with a 350 turbo trans. Car also does not have the original front bucket seats, or console, per the VIN and Trim codes thats what originally came with the car, and its what all SS came with. I did pick up an original console and floor shifter that I will sell separately if the buyer is interested. Also at some point a previous ower did repairs to the floors, there solid but its not the cleanest job, again this is why I consider the car a driver. After all of that its still a real 1964 SS convertible. So heres what we did with the car: all new harnesses interior and under the hood, new horns, upgraded the front brakes from drums to disc, rear brake job, front end was gone threw, all new ball joints, upper and lower bushings, all new weatherstripping, new door hinges on both sides, new carpet, classic audio radio with MP3 wire for your iphone, ipod, mp3 player, new front kick panels with speakers, new dual stereo dash speaker, also installed dual antennas. Wiper linkage was frozen so that was replaced, correct wiper motor was installed. Exhaust is a dual setup with magnaflow mufflers that have a nice rumble to them, its what was on the car when we got it, its in great shape and is welded, no clamps. Convertible top is in excellent shape, rear plastic window is very clear, top is manual and has to be folded down. I forgot to take a pic of the trunk but its in good and has a new trunk mat in it. The body color isn't the original, From my research of the codes it was originally a white car. This is butternut yellow and it has its flaws. A friend of ours did the door hinges at his shop for us and when we were finished tinkering around he was going to paint it for us, unfortunately his shop was destroyed when hurricane sandy hit the coast here in NJ in 2012. The car runs and drives good and handles like every other car built in the 60's. Have used it to go to car shows and cruise nights and have enjoyed it. I have some extras that I'll be including, the original front kick panels, extra set of headlights, a car cover and anything else I have that goes with it. If I had to list some cons of the car for you guys I'd say its the paint and the neatness of the floor work. The paint is not pealing or dull, it cleans up nice but it has its share of chips and some cracks. Just trying to be upfront, I dont want someone to buy it take delivery of the car and freaking out on me. With that in mind PLEASE ask any questions you have before bidding. If you are local and want to check it out we can set something up. Also - not interested in any trades at all. Thanks for checking out my auction. Must be paid for in full before the car goes anywhere.

GM investing $167m in Spring Hill for new midsize vehicles

Tue, 06 Aug 2013

General Motors has announced a large investment in its Spring Hill, Tennessee facility. The former home of Saturn production will be getting a $167 million addition to a previously announced $183 million, to cover a pair of new midsize vehicles. The investment is expected to create 1,800 jobs at the factory.
That $350 million is being divvied up for a pair of programs at Spring Hill. The first will take the bulk of the money ($223 million) and create 1,000 of the 1,800 jobs, while the other will take the remaining $127 million and generate the leftover 800 positions. But GM says the investment will cover "midsize vehicle programs." So what could they be?
The leading candidate in our minds is a new crossover for Buick, called the Anthem, that will slot between the Encore and Enclave, but will be slightly smaller than the Equinox and Terrain. As we've explained, the new model will likely be the first product to sport GM's new D2UX platform, which will eventually replace both the Delta and Theta platforms. Spring Hill is already building the Equinox, so there could be some credence to this theory.

2014 Chevrolet C7 Corvette wastes no time zooming into Jay Leno's Garage

Thu, 24 Jan 2013

Where else would you expect the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray to show up first? Although this time it isn't exactly in Jay Leno's Garage, Leno instead playing an away game at Brown's Classic Auto in Scottsdale, Arizona. Nor does Leno drive the car, instead taking an 11-minute walkaround of the new American sports car with General Motors design head Ed Welburn, the same man who recently brought by a string of classic Corvettes to the talk show host's California compound.
It is, admittedly, a love-fest for the American sports car now featuring 450 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque, but one that also features admissions about previous Corvette seats like "they were kinda rough," and the explanation that labeling the coupe "Stingray" means not having to call it "the base Corvette." On top of that, Welburn also explains the proper application of the term "dashboard." You can watch it all in the video below.

Indian tuner turns Chevy Optra into Mustang 'Eleanor' replica

Fri, 03 Aug 2012

If you are a big fan of automotive oddities, this may come as a little treat. If you are a Shelby or Mustang diehard, prepare to have your sensibilities violated.
The master fabricators at BigDaddyCustoms are the minds behind what you see above. At first, it appears to be a slightly misshapen custom Mustang, modeled after "Eleanor" from Gone In 60 Seconds, but upon further examination, something appears to be amiss. In fact, the custom shop, based in India, has created an Eleanor replica grafted upon a lowly Chevrolet Optra. While it may take a second for the Optra to ring a bell, you should recognize its badge-engineered sibling, the Daewoo Lacetti, used on Top Gear.
We don't know what star would opt for the Reasonably Priced Car in Shelby's clothing, but it's clearly someone more concerned with the aesthetic than the performance credentials of this automotive mash-up.
