1968 Chevelle Malibu - Frame Up Restoration
I bought this car in October of 2012 from under a tree in North County San Diego. Over the next 6 months the car went through a frame up restoration which hit about 95% in April of 2013 just in time for the Del Mar Nationals. Its been that way ever since and needs someone to put on the finishing touches and make the car their own. The hard work is done. The money has been spent. This car is a Year of Manufacture registered car which means it has legit black and yellow CA plates. It has a clear title. I bought the car to rebuild for myself as a weekend driver and to take to cruises. Life changed and I ended moving to NJ (NYC) for work in August of 2013. I don't have the space I used to have and with only a few months of the year to drive it, I've finally a year later accepted that I can't keep it anymore. The car has been at Donahue Automotive in El Cajon (the shop where it was rebuilt) ever since where it is cared for every day. Whenever I've made it back to SD I use it as my daily driver, but those days are becoming far too infrequent. Selling with no reserve so that it actually gets a new home and not me continuing to make excuses to hold on to it. I bought the car to drive it and now it just sits except for a daily trip in and out of the shop. There are over 450 pics and few videos in a G+ album from the day I got the car through the entire restoration process. To view the complete album, click the picasa logo in the bottom right corner. All body, paint, mechanical, electrical was done at Donahue Automotive in El Cajon, CA. Interior by Jim's in San Diego. Exhaust by Ed Hansen in Spring Valley. Good representative list of work (but by no way complete): Complete rust removal from all body metal POR-15 rust inhibitor GT Mat (Dynamat alt) in full interior Body repair to rear quarters, rear window frame, roof (vinyl removal) and general body prep for paint New Reproduction Steel Hood w/cowl New Hood Hinges New Paint - United Grey Metallic (modern day VW/Audi color - easy to match) w/ Matte Black Roof (no vinyl) New Trim pieces where needed on outside - all have been painted black except roofline which is chrome AC Removal & Heater Install (From 68 Camaro) Full mechanical run through and make over:
4 Wheel Disc Brake Conversion New Master Cylinder / Booster New front suspension - 500lb springs OE style wheels 15" (painted) BFG Radial AT's (nearly new) Full Interior rebuild
New Steering Wheel New Side Mirrors New Tail Lenses (fogged) New Alternator New Wiring Harness New Hoses New Belts New Fluids New Battery There's so much more but this gives you a pretty good idea of how much has gone into the car to this point. Please keep in mind that it's NOT perfect. There are a couple dings and bubbles and one or two little cracks in the paint. The electrical wiring has a few open issues still needing to be resolved. There is no radio or speakers. The glove box still needs the rear installed. I've done my best to include photos of everything I could think of. I strongly encourage you to visit Donahue Automotive to see the vehicle for yourself before bidding. If you have questions, ask. I'll do everything I can to get you a real answer ASAP. A winning bid represents the buyer's agreement that the vehicle has been fairly represented and is in satisfactory condition to purchase. A winning bid also represents the buyer's understanding that this vehicle is being sold "AS IS" and no warranties are implied or available. Car is located in El Cajon, CA. All shipping and/or transportation costs are at the sole responsibility of the winning bidder. |

Take a close look at the guts of the Chevy Volt battery, powertrain
Sat, Aug 9 2014Just how intimate would you like to get with the powertrain in a Chevy Volt? If you're anything like YouTube user d55guy, then spending a half hour filming yourself taking apart the battery pack, motor, inverter and more for a look inside sounds like your idea of fun. After all, this way you get to see the cooling system, the heavy safety kill switch and count up the individual cells in the battery modules. Fun! Turns out, we also enjoy languidly paced Volt dissection video goodness, and we think you might want to see it as well. So, we've embedded two videos below and if you don't have a better understanding of how the Volt is put together after watching them, well, at least you can't say we never tried to show you anything. Given that what's really happening here is the organized 'destruction' of an expensive and potentially dangerous object, let's talk safety. There's a serious disclaimer at the beginning of the videos and on the YouTube description page, but we feel the need to repeat the gist of it here: do not try this at home. The creator of the video says he is a trained engineer and has been doing things like this "for the better part of a decade," so he apparently knows what he's doing. With that in mind, watch it all below. When you're done seeing the insides of a Volt powertrain up close, if you need more filmed EV dissection/destruction, check out this video designed for first responders approaching a damaged Tesla Model S.
