1968 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu Hardtop 2-door 5.4l on 2040-cars
El Paso, Texas, United States
|
Car History: Car sat for years in a elderly gentlemen's yard in Arizona just waiting to be rescued. I finally purchased the car, replaced the flat tires to get it rolling, and trailered it back to El Paso. As with most southwestern cars, they are extremely solid and have very little rust. The roads here see little snow or salt so the condition reflects. Purchased with the intention of restoring but I just don't have the money to restore both my 74' Stingray and this car. The car runs and drives, but it should definitely be checked out before making long trips. With any car that sits for a long time, its best to do a thorough inspection beforehand.
Interior: Needs the most attention. Seats are torn and the seat bolts are loose. Car has no carpet or headliner, door panels need replacing as well. FLOORS LOOK SOLID! Engine: 327 cu in, starts and runs. Seems to be the original 327 but Im not sure. The only thing that seems to be out of place is the fact that someone changed the original manual tranny to an automatic. You can still see the clutch pedal in the car. If it were me, I would go back to the original manual setup or even go with an LS swap. As far as I can see, the carburetor is original and so are most of the other engine parts. Clearly the radiator and radiator support look new, but I think thats it. The water pump spits water from time to time and tranny has a periodic leak. No other leaks as I can see. The exhausts come right off of the headers, no mufflers. Suspension and Brakes: The rear shocks look fairly new and the front disks are solid as well as the rear drums. Like I said before, I replaced all the tires since the car had four flats. The back tires are brand new and the front are used but solid. Overall: This car makes an outstanding canvas for restoring. No need to hunt for expensive trim and various other parts, its mostly all here. I really wish I had the money to restore it but its best for someone who does. As you see the car, this is exactly how I found it, besides the tires of course. I am by no means a mechanic, so I have not fooled around with the car at all. I hate when people do that, so I don't do it. You are more than welcome to ask any questions, request additional info or pictures, and I will send a timely response. The car is available for viewing here in East El Paso if interested.

2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible is a Swiss hit
Mon, 04 Mar 2013We've just received an early peek at the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible here at the Geneva Motor Show. General Motors was kind enough to let us attend the final dress-rehearsal for its press conference scheduled for tomorrow's opening media day, and we've come away with a good look at the droptop C7 in person.
In the metal, the new Corvette Convertible seems somehow less avant-garde than the Coupe, even in Z51 Performance Package guise. That's not necessarily a bad thing - more of an observation. That initial impression may be because the C7's new greenhouse is one of its most prominent departures from Corvettes past. While we didn't get to see the top erected, there's no rear side window in the stock images that Chevy has already released, suggesting the C7 convertible's profile will look a lot like its C6 predecessor. And with the new power tonneau cover in place, there are also no rear ducts that come as part of the Z51 package (they've been moved under the car).
As with its predecessor, the tonneau is a handsome double-bubble piece, and the body-color "waterfall" element into the cabin between the seats has made it to the new model as well. Thus, the overall look with the top down should be a bit more familiar to prior-gen C6 owners - if you're one of those put off by the C7's new shape, you'll probably appreciate the convertible bodystyle more than the coupe.
GM sweetens military discount for Buick, Chevy and GMC
Sun, 06 Oct 2013American servicemen and women interested in a new vehicle from Chevrolet, Buick or GMC now have a bit more incentive to head down to their local dealer, as General Motors has announced plans to improve its military discount program.
The new GM Military Discount Program offers eligible consumers a new Chevy, Buick or GMC at invoice pricing, which in some cases can take very large chunks out of a car's retail price. When factored in with other incentives, most of which are available with the Military Discount, the bargains are thick on the ground for members of the US armed forces.
GM's Retail Sales and Marketing Support general manager, Chuck Thomson, said, "GM has long supported the military and military families, and we hope this simplified and enhanced discount will show our appreciation for their service and help make it easier for them to own one of our great new vehicles." The program is open to all active duty and reserve members in the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, National Guard and Coast Guard, as well as veterans that have been out of the service for less than a year. Military retirees and their spouses are also eligible for the discount.
Nissan Leaf sets new November sales record, Chevy Volt drops again
Tue, Dec 2 2014When you talk to people in the plug-in vehicle industry, one theme you hear repeatedly is that the more plug-in cars that are out there, the better things are for everyone. One reason is that more EVs build a need for more public chargers, and more chargers mean more people see that plugging in is feasible. But there's still something to be said for old-fashioned competition, and in the sales race between the two long-running plug-in vehicles in the US, the Nissan Leaf is resoundingly beating the Chevy Volt for 2014. In fact, it won't be long before the EV's cumulative sales top the PHEV's. But that's a topic for another month. For now, we have the sales results from November. Unsurprisingly, Nissan set another monthly record (that is, the best Leaf sales in any November, the 22nd time in a row we've seen a monthly record) with 2,687 sales last month. That's up 34 percent over last November and up 35 percent year-to-date. Toby Perry, Nissan's director of electric vehicle marketing, said in a statement that, "Our 'Kick Gas' ad campaign and 'No Charge to Charge' launch in Chicago and Atlanta drove an increase in November Leaf sales. Even with gas prices falling across the country, consumers appreciate that the cost of driving a Nissan Leaf is still a fraction of that of a gas-powered car." Over on the Chevy side of the ledger, there were 1,336 Volt sales last month, down 30.4 percent from the 1,920 sold in November 2013. So far this year, Volt sales are down 16.4 percent and Chevy has sold 17,315 Volts in 2014. As we said last month, the Volt slump might be due to people waiting on the new version to make an appearance at the Detroit Auto Show next month before going on sale in the second half of 2015. So far in 2014, Nissan has sold 27,098 Leafs. Look for our detailed post of US green car sales in the near future. Until then, please discuss last month's Leaf and Volt sale in the comments, below.
