1965 Malibu Hardtop Coupe. The gentleman owned this car since 1987. During his ownership it has gone through a great transformation. He has unfortunately passed away but we will try to answer any questions to the best of our ability. This car had not been started since last fall. I hooked the battery up and within a few minutes of cranking if fired right off. No smoke or noises and we drove it out of the garage. I apologize for the glare but it was a very sunny day.
Engine; Originally gone through by himself and shouldn't have more than 10 or 15K on it. We believe it is pretty much stock other than the chrome options you see. I could not get the numbers off of the block or the pad. The car has a PA inspection that expired 4/11. It was only started last year to move in or out of the garage but was not driven or offered for sale.
Transmission; Rebuilt and believed to have a shift kit in it but as we stated we do not know for sure.
Rear End; 10 bolt - non posi stock. Gear set unknown. Does have rear sway bar on it.
Wheels\Tires; May be Cragers?? Good shape with newer tires and a new matching spare.
Body; Floors/ Trunk appear to be original. All original steel body panels/ parts. I found one very small place on the right rear 1/4 that had many 3 or 4 minor bubbles and a couple on the front lip of the hood. Small dent in L/F fender (tried to get picture but it wouldn't come out) and small dent L/R 1/4 panel. The dents could be removed by the dent wizard and again these are minimal but wanted to mention them.
Paint; is excellent. Very high gloss as you can see in the pictures. This is the way it was in the garage. We did not wash/wax it or anything and it has been in the garage since the fall 2010.
Chrome/Stainless; The bumpers are excellent, most likely rechromed. The stainless trim on the sides, trunk and the wheel opening mouldings are nice with no dings/dents.
Interior; Completly redone but the headliner. The seats were all done to match Including Chevy bowties in embroided in along with new carpet, door panels, sill plates etc. The headliner did have one place on the right rear corner that was repaired and there is a picture of it.
Accessories; Power Steering, Power front disc brakes, Add on power windows, Converted AM/FM/Cassette radio, Simulated wood steering wheel, Aftermarket gauges, Blue Dot tailights, Headlight shades, Dual Exhaust, Carpeting/mats in trunk, new battery last year, louvered hood with flamed accents and "350" chrome fender emblems, transmission cooler and an electric cooling fan.
Frame; Very nice shape, no rust scabs etc, very clean.
Title was transferred to his wife and is free and clear. It is listed as prior state "FL" (Florida) and the mileage is believed to be original.
Please ask any questions but our resources to get detailed information is limited. Please review all pictures prior to bidding. We can hold the car for shipping if need be with prior arrangements. Visual inspections are encouraged with prior arrangements.

Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too
Fri, 07 Dec 2012We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.
GM and Isuzu to partner for medium-duty commercial truck
Tue, Jun 16 2015General Motors is returning to the medium-duty truck business in the US for the first time since 2009 thanks to a new deal with longtime-partner Isuzu. The arrangement brings the Isuzu N-series models to Chevrolet dealers with the Bowtie's branding on them in 2016. There are six medium-duty Chevy models arriving at dealers in regular cab and crew cab bodies: the 3500, 3500HD, 4500, 4500HD, 5500, and 5500HD. The trucks will be sold as a bare chassis for buyers to outfit to their needs. Depending on model, customers will have the choice of an Isuzu-sourced 3.0-liter and 5.2-liter diesel engines or a 6.0-liter V8 gasoline-fueled engine from GM and six-speed gearbox. According to company spokesperson Bob Wheeler to Autoblog, the diesel models will be built in Japan and the rest assembled from knockdown kits in Charlotte, MI. This kind of vehicle sharing isn't uncommon for GM in the commercial segment, and it already partners with Nissan to use the Japanese brand's NV200 as the City Express van. The General also once owned a significant stake in Isuzu, and the two have remained collaborators even since then. Isuzu and GM Enter Commercial Vehicle Collaboration Agreement in the U.S. 2015-06-15 DETROIT and FUJISAWA, Japan – General Motors Co. (NYSE: GM) and Isuzu Motors (TSE 7202) have reached an agreement on a U.S. commercial vehicle collaboration, allowing Isuzu to strengthen its product lineup and GM to expand its commercial vehicle portfolio. Isuzu will produce low cab forward models for GM, based off of the Isuzu N-Series. The vehicles will be distributed by participating Chevrolet dealers in the U.S. market starting in 2016. To strengthen the product lineup, GM and Isuzu will explore the use of GM commercial vehicle components for Isuzu low cab forward trucks and GM will continue to produce and supply the 6.0L V-8 gas engine and six-speed transmission for Isuzu gasoline-powered low cab forward trucks. Isuzu and GM have maintained a strategic partnership for more than 40 years, producing collaborative business opportunities throughout the world. This agreement continues that tradition and reinforces a long-term relationship that helps to explore future collaborations in the U.S. commercial vehicle business.

(NYSE:GM, TSX: GMM) and its partners produce vehicles in 30 countries, and the company has leadership positions in the world's largest and fastest-growing automotive markets.
Smaller Cars Endure Big Problems On Crash Test
Wed, Jan 22 2014In a crash test of 11 of the smallest cars on the market, only one vehicle received an acceptable rating. The rest received marginal or poor ratings in the study, providing evidence that supports a widely held notion that smaller cars are among the least safe on the road. No other vehicle group has performed as poorly on a new crash test than these mini cars, says the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, the nonprofit group that conducted the testing. The latest results of which were released Wednesday. The Chevrolet Spark was the only car earning an overall "acceptable" rating on the small-front overlap test, and even that vehicle had its shortcomings, IIHS said. "Small lightweight vehicles have an inherent safety disadvantage," said Joe Nolan, the senior vice president for vehicle research at IIHS. "That's why it's even more important to choose one with the best occupant protection. Unfortunately, as a group, minicars aren't performing as well as other vehicle categories." The Mazda2, Kia Rio, Toyota Yaris and certain Ford Fiesta models all received "marginal" overall grades on the test, while the Mitsubishi Mirage, Nissan Versa, Toyota Prius C, Hyundai Accent, Fiat 500 and Honda Fit all earned "poor" ratings. Results from these sub-compact cars fare much worse than vehicles sized just a little bit bigger, IIHS said. Among 17 cars evaluated in the small category, five earned "good" ratings and five more earned "acceptable." Only introduced a year ago, the small-front overlap test has quickly become a key indicator of differences in automotive safety. IIHS introduced it as a way to replicate what happens when the front corner of a vehicle collides with a tree or utility pole at 40 miles per hour. In the real world, these sorts of accidents are more dangerous than others, in part because they bypass the front-end crush zones on most cars.
