1967 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu Wagon on 2040-cars
Newhall, California, United States
|
1967 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu Wagon For sale is my 1967 Chevrolet wagon. This is a correct Vin and Cowl tag Malibu 8 cylinder wagon built the 4th week of January, 1967 in Fremont, CA plant. The vehicle has current Black CA plates and believed to be a original CA car but can't be verified. Current CA title and registered. The original paint code is "SS" for Fawn exterior paint and interior code 783 for Gold trim. The vehicle and interior has been repainted to Marina Blue with Blue interior. I have owned the vehicle for about a 2 months and was planning on turning into a Pro Touring Chevelle wagon but have too many projects. This is the perfect wagon to restomod or Pro tour. A solid vehicle, floor and panels appear to be original, decent repaint but needs all new suspension, bushings, and some mechanical work. Runs decent, just needs some TLC. Exterior: Vehicle appears to recently have been repainted in Marina Blue with a decent, presentable quality but not high quality. Body panels are very straight and don't see a lot of ripples in panels.Could use a buffing out. Bumpers, window mouldings, trim, grille and chrome all in good condition. Has a roof rack in good condition and rear window deflector. I personally wouldn't spend the money to repaint and put money towards suspension and other upgrades. Interior: Has been redone and changed to Blue. Carpet, seat covers, headliner, rear trim has been replaced or repainted. Very good condition. Comes with Bench seat w/fold down arm rest and headrests. Interior condition is a 7 of 10. Very presentable as has been done. Comes with clock (not working), aftermarket radio w/IPOD auxiliary connection and rear speakers. Aftermarket oil pressure and temp gauge. Working heater, this is a not a original A/C car. Engine/Drivetrain: Has a rebuilt 327 cu, V8, unknown how many miles but runs good. The stampings on block ID are missing so cant verify is original block. Has newer Edelbrock intake and carburetor, HEI distributor and ignition w/Petronix plug wires just added. Stock style exhaust manifolds, Chevy bowtie valve covers & air cleaner, Harrison radiator which I just had tanked and cleaned, runs a 185-190 degrees,new hoses and t-stat. Turbo 350 automatic transmission, shifts fine, slight vibration at hwy speed. 10 bolt rear end , gear ratio unknown. Overall runs solid, good oil pressure, starts up every time, slight vibration in driveline. Engine bay is very clean, good condition and with some minor touch up can be very presentable. Brakes/Suspension: Power drum brakes front & rear with dual master cylinder. Stops nicely, surprised how well it stops without disc brakes. Front and rear suspension components, bushings, shocks, body bushings need replacing. Vehicle wanders on the road and body creaks when turning. Basically, needs all suspension. It does has power steering and works fine. I was going to get a complete suspension kit, 2" drop spindles, convert to power front disc brakes. Has newer 15x7 SS style wheels with BF Goodrich 245/60-15 tires. Has rear sway bar. Misc: Tailgate lowers and raised with no issues. Outside crank handle works but tailgate wont lock from outside. All exterior glass including tailgate glass in good shape. Fuel gauge works seems accurate, speedo working, turn signal works but wont cancel-needs replacement. Headlights, turn signals, brakes, interior & dash lights all work. Heater working. Clock not working. Missing shift indicator on column. Undercarriage: Appears very sound, needs a good steam cleaning. Doesn't appear that any panels cut. Could use a new gas tank ,suspension tired. With some good scrubbing and detailing looks like will clean up nice. This is the perfect Chevrolet wagon for someone looking for a solid vehicle, needing some TLC . Someone looking for a restomod or Pro tour project this is the perfect vehicle for you. If it doesn't sell I will spend the $5-$10k to make this a awesome pro tour wagon or if you want to do something different this is a great vehicle to do it on. The vehicle is sold AS-IS. I have a reasonable "Buy it Now" price and reserve. I am not in desperation to sell . I am not interested in Trades. Please don't bid if you think this is a $5K or $12K car. Car is currently registered, clean CA title. The vehicle can be viewed locally by appt. If out of state buyer I will hold vehicle for a reasonable time period for transport. |

Recharge Wrap-up: Ford steals Best Green Brand spot from Toyota, EV buyer survey goes online
Wed, Jun 25 2014Chevrolet is one of the Top Global Green Brands of 2014, according to brand consultancy firm Interbrand. Chevy ranks number 32 on the list, which cover brands across a wide variety of segments. The report measures brand perception and brand performance, and the gap between the two is small for Chevrolet. "The company is not only actively demonstrating its environmental commitment," says Interbrand CEO Jez Frampton. "It's communicating those efforts in an authentic way that resonates with customers." Chevrolet cites its Spark EV, Volt and Cruze models as reason for its green cred. This is the first time Toyota didn't take the top spot. Being 32nd is good and all, but other automotive brands ranked much higher than the Bowtie. Ford, Toyota, Honda and Nissan took the top four spots in the report, respectively, with BMW, Volkswagen and Mercedes-Benz all besting Chevrolet. The big takeaway here is that Ford topped the list. In the Top Global Green Brand list's four-year history, this is the first time Toyota didn't take the top spot. Ford was second on the list last year, and 15th in 2012. "Ford embodies everything the business of the future must be: efficient, visionary, flexible, adept at problem-solving, cooperative, and focused on creating shared value," Interbrand says on its website. "From unveiling a first-of-its-kind solar-powered vehicle, the C-MAX Solar Energi Concept, to partnering with peers across sectors to do the seemingly impossible - like creating bio-plastic out of tomato fiber with Heinz-Ford is showing us what's possible." It bears mentioning that Ford's most recent MPG adjustments came after the study was conducted. Ford is also making the news for its 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine earning International Engine of the Year for the third straight year. Awarded Best Engine Under 1.0 Liter, the turbocharged three-cylinder motor earned high praise from judges. "This year's competition was the fiercest yet, but the 1.0-liter EcoBoost continues to stand out for all the right reasons – great refinement, surprising flexibility and excellent efficiency," said International Engine of the Year co-chairman Dean Slavnich. "The 1.0-liter EcoBoost engine is one of the finest examples of powertrain engineering." The 123-horsepower engine powers the Fiesta 1.0-liter EcoBoost, and will be available in a version of the Ford Focus in the US later this year. See more about the award in the press release, below.
GM recalls 8,500 Chevrolet Malibu models for rear suspension glitch
Mon, 04 Feb 2013According to a letter from General Motors to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, flaws in the build process of the 2013 Chevrolet Malibu have led to the recall of 8,519 cars. Units built between December 6, 2011 and January 15, 2013 may have been assembled with rear suspension cradles that had insufficient torque applied to certain bolts. That out-of-spec assembly could lead to issues ranging from slight noises to a loss of vehicle control.
The problem was first noticed in December of last year by a GM test fleet driver and eventually tracked back to the improperly torqued bolts on the suspension cradle assembled through July 2012 by a supplier located not too far from the Malibu's Detroit/Hamtramck Assembly Plant. Since an official NHTSA recall notice has not been issued yet, it isn't clear whether or not Detroit-built Malibus were the only ones affected (the 2013 Malibu is also built at GM's Fairfax Assembly Plant in Kansas City, Kansas). Dealers will fix the problem by inspecting vehicles for proper torque specs, retightening if not within specs and, in some cases, perform a rear-wheel alignment.
Recharge Wrap-up: Panasonic, Tesla on Gigafactory deal?
Tue, Jul 29 2014Bentley has been awarded the Carbon Trust Standard for reductions of carbon, water use and waste production in manufacturing. The Carbon Trust is an organization that helps groups such as businesses and governments reduce carbon emissions, use of energy and resources, and waste output. From 2011 to 2013, Bentley reduced CO2 emissions by 16 percent per car manufactured, curtailed water use by 35.7 percent, and saw significant waste reductions. Darran Messem of Carbon trust says, "Bentley is clearly passionate about continuing to improve its environmental performance, which is reflected by the fact the company has consistently invested in new technology." Read more in the press release below. Chevrolet is giving 12 Volts to MBAs Across America. The organization will use the range-extended electric cars in its efforts to help MBA students learn from and work with small business owners. As part of the MBAs Across America program's first year, four students drove 8,000 miles to provide entrepreneurs with free business counseling. The program has expanded, and this year, teams of MBAs will use the Volts to travel to 25 cities to offer their services. Learn more about the partnership between Chevrolet and MBAs Across America in the press release below. A professor from the University of Michigan has found fuel cycle analysis to be too flawed to be relied upon for measuring CO2 impacts of transportation fuels. Professor John DeCicco of the university's Energy Institute feels that the flaws in calculating the carbon footprint of liquid fuel production and combustion make such lifecycle analysis impractical. He suggests, instead, to focus to carbon capture. Since capturing CO2 directly from a vehicle is probably never going to happen, DiCicco believes the solution is to capture carbon from the atmosphere in sectors outside of transportation. Says DiCicco, "Research should be ramped up on options for increasing the rate at which CO2 is removed from the atmosphere and on programs to manage and utilize carbon fixed in the biosphere, which offers the best CO2 removal mechanism now at hand. Such strategies can complement measures that control the demand for liquid fuels by reducing travel activity, improving vehicle efficiency and shifting to non-carbon fuels."
