1970 Chevelle Malibu Runs/drives Soild Car! on 2040-cars
Charlotte, North Carolina, United States
|
I bought this car a while back on a whim because of its great condition,I really don't have time to restore it as I'm already working on 3 other muscle cars.All I've done to it is change plugs,wires and adjust timing.Runs decent,has some slight smoke when revved.Could just be a rich condition.One of the best examples of a unrestored car I've seen in the southeast rust wise.Original colors were Grean/Green.I don't remember the actaul colot name at the moment.All rust is pictured.It could easily become a driver.Here's everything I can think of mecanical wise. The Good, 1975 block 350/350 Engine and trans.Heads are 186 double hump with accessory holes dates 3/69 Engine compression between 175 and 188 checked cold and dry.Aftermarket aluminum radiator. Clean/clear title The Bad, Leaks atf fluid from pump,Balancer seal leaks,power steering works,but leaks bad from box,Car has usual bad brakes associated with old drum brakes on all 4 wheels,Weak springs,leans on passenger side,Noise coming from speedo when driving needle bounces,No trunk or door keys,trunk open with screwdriver,Windshield cracked and weathered badly, The Missing, Trans dipstick is missing,Engine dipstick is broke off in block if you were to remove header there still plenty to grab on to ,so pulling it out should not be an issue,prvious ower just had a Mr. Gasket one sitting on top of it.There's no inner fenders or battery box.Also the plug wires on it will be replaced with others as these belong to my camaro. All rust is pictured The Body, Rust hole front bottom driver door Floor pans solid,small rust spot driver floor board Bottom rear of front fenders have been patched with a lap joint and spot welded,not professional IMO,but functional. "One side pictured" Remainder of front fenders and rad support solid,not even pitting on underside of fenders or support. Bottom rear of both quarters need some small patching,driver more than passenger Inside of wheel lips need the smallest of metal work as can be seen. All original quarters!!! Package tray solid,small amount of rust on weather stripping from deck lid to truck Dash and metal under rear widow look free and clean of rust from what can be seen which is highly unusual Trunk floor is still intact,has the usual extensive rust pitting,if making a driver,you could easily epoxy prime undercoat/thin roll on bedliner and splatter paint the floor ad a mat and you would never know if your not looking for a show car.Chalky section in the trunk is where I put phosphoric acid on it to experiment with rust removal then had to leave suddenly,so it was not removed in time.It will come back off with a wire wheel or I believe if you reapply it will become active again and rinse away with water. All body parts are there that have been removed in pics,Rear bumper is about the same condition as the front fairly straight with bad chrome. Passenger side rear quarter above bumper has some bondo coming through a hole. Driver door slightly sags needs adjusted/hinge bushings replaced Passenger doors outside handle does not work. Really bad DA work on exterior paint by previous owner Overall the car has minimal rust in my opinion and is very straight. This is everything i can think of as of now.Please email me with any other questions you may have. |

Chevy's low-cost pedestrian avoidance to debut on 2016 Malibu
Tue, Jul 28 2015The mainstreaming of safety technologies that began on luxury vehicles will get a big boost from General Motors later this year. The General says it plans to offer 22 driver assistance systems across its product portfolio of 2016 models, starting with the redesigned Chevrolet Malibu - the one that we know will keep tabs on teenagers for the benefit of parents. Pedestrian avoidance will be another of its available options. Instead of kitting the sedan out with numerous and expensive radar arrays, the GM system uses the camera mounted next to the rearview mirror that is already used for the lane-keeping function. New software lets it detect pedestrians, and when it detects a potential collision with one, it can alert the driver and brake autonomously if the driver doesn't react. Eventually, engineers want to give it the ability to do the same with cyclists. Because it uses existing hardware updated with new code, GM says the application costs "a few hundred dollars." GM demonstrated the Front Pedestrian Braking preventing a crash with a dummy pedestrian at speeds up to 15 miles per hour. Automotive News reports that it will reduce the severity of impact up to 40 miles per hour, but "may not be of much use in collisions at higher speeds." That feature will also join the options list of the Cadillac CT6. The press release below has more on GM's driver tech soon on the way.

Safety engineers will develop and test these and other safety technologies for products around the world at GM's new, 52-acre Active Safety Test Area at its Milford Proving Ground near Detroit. The $14 million facility officially opened Friday. "Our comprehensive safety strategy of helping customers before, during and after a crash continues," said Jeff Boyer, vice president of GM Global Vehicle Safety.
GM cutting Chevy Sonic, Buick Verano production by more than 20%
Sat, Jun 13 2015General Motors' Orion Assembly plant in Michigan is seeing even more production cuts this year to further reduce inventories of the Chevrolet Sonic and Buick Verano. These latest adjustments mean layoffs for about 100 workers in phases starting in July. "GM Orion Assembly will adjust plant production capacity to better align with market demand," the company said in a statement announcing the change. Through May, sales of the Sonic are down 28.5 percent to 29,082 vehicles, and the Verano is off 15.6 percent, with 15,279 sold this year. According to unnamed plant insiders speaking to Automotive News, the assembly rate is slowing at Orion Assembly from the current 33 cars an hour down to 26 an hour, a 21-percent reduction. GM is also reportedly going to keep the plant idle for three weeks during the normal summer shutdown, rather than the usual two. Earlier in the year, the factory was idled for two weeks due to excess supply of the Sonic and Verano. In March, it was closed again for several days for the same reason. The Orion Assembly plant is the future home to the line for the Chevy Bolt EV. GM Statement: GM Orion Assembly will adjust plant production capacity to better align with market demand. A phased layoff of approximately 100 employees will begin in July 2015 and conclude by year-end.
