We are proud to offer our beautiful 1969 Chevelle Malibu for sale.

 

We bought this car from a gentleman who owned this car for the last 20 something years.  About 8 years ago, he had the car restored including a rebuild on the original 307 small block and TH350 transmission.  The undercarriage was painted and coated lifting the body off.  The interior was restored and the exterior was painted in the gorgeous Cortez Silver.  This Chevelle appears to be all original with the exception of the correct style bucket seats. 

This is also an A/C car that was recently charged and blows cold.  The greatest thing about this car is it is 100% complete and everything works as it should!  All of the lights, switches, wipers, heater, A/C, engine, transmission are in fantastic working condition!  This car would make an awesome driver or the best start to a hot rod you could ask for!

If you look at my feedback you will notice I have a wonderful reputation for selling and describing high interest cars.  I believe in trying to present the best online evaluation I can to make sure the buyer knows exactly what he is getting and not getting by winning this auction.  Most ads I see on Ebay only list specs on a car and often do not mention anything about the actual condition of the car...run from these.  Here is the car as I see it:

Body:  This appears to be a very original, rust free car with the exception of the driver's side quarter panel at the very rear, lowest part.  This is very common and it is just starting to bubble through the black paint on the underside.  The beauty of this is that it would be a very easy repair if concerned about it as you only need to replace the bottom lip of the rear quarter and would be easy to match the black paint.  This is the only rust I have found in the car.  The battery tray area looks great, inner fender wells, window channels, etc. all look good.  I believe the passenger rear quarter had a small patch at the very bottom with metal when restored.  The body appears very straight and all the gaps line up nicely.  Doors, hood and trunk all open and close like new!  The vinyl top is in great condition and is a rich black in color.  The windshield is in good condition but there is a groove in the glass following the arch of the blades on the driver's side.  This does not block any visibility but is easily replaced if you want to. All of the bumpers and stainless trim are in great condition!

Paint:  This car has very nice paint and I would call it a nice driver quality.  There are a few small scratches that are hard to see in the silver paint unless you are up close.  There is also some very small particles that must have gotten into the paint and then cleared over.  It looks like very small sand or dust particles but these can be found all over the car if you look very closely.  The car is very glossy and the silver coverage is smooth and not blotchy like a lot of silver cars you see.

Interior:  The interior shines in this car.  The dash pad is like new, headliner is like new with working dome light, the carpet is new, the back seat is in fantastic condition and the metal dash his uncut and in terrific condition.  There are a few small scratches on the dash around the glove box that is an easy touch up but worth mentioning.  The driver and passenger bucket seats are in good condition but could use a simple dye touch up where the black has been worn off.  If I were to keep this car I would have the front seats redone with new covers and new foam and you would have a beautiful finished interior!  All of the windows roll up and down nicely and seal well. 

Mechanical:  This has the original 307 small block in it that starts right away, doesn't appear to use any oil or smoke.  It has the original two barrel carburetor with manual choke.  The transmission shifts smooth and well and there are no noticeable noises anywhere.  The brakes are original drum style at all four corners that work well and stop straight!  The rear end is stock with tall highway gears and assume they are original.  I do not believe it is a posi car as it is all original. 

Wheels & Tires: The wheels look like brand new and are the original style S/S Cragars. They even have the older metal caps which is very cool unlike the new plastic versions that peel. The tires are in great condition with 80-90% tread remaining.  This Chevelle cruises down the interstate nicely, tracks straight and does not wander at all.  It drives amazing! 

I have a clean and clear title for this car!

 

As you can see by the photos, this car looks amazing and it is so hard to find these old Chevelles that are complete with everything working.  Run it like it is for a reliable driver to all the car shows or drop in a big block and you have a finished hot rod! Either way you don't have a lot of odds and ends to locate or fix costing you thousands more in your car.  

 

Please contact me through Ebay with any questions before you bid or to get my contact information.  Please only bid if you are serious and intend to complete the transaction.  I also have high definition photos available upon request!  If you have zero feedback please contact me BEFORE you bid.  

 

I can assist with delivery arrangements or can pick up the new buyer at the Boise airport (BOI) and you can drive this home!  It is very reliable!  Any help you need from me to complete this transaction must be approved before you bid or win the auction.  If you are an Idaho resident I must collect 6% in sales tax.  If you are out of state there will be no taxes collected.

 

I am open to trades of equal or greater value so let me know what you have and send me some pictures...just remember the equal or greater value part!

 

Thank you for looking and good luck bidding!

NHTSA, IIHS, and 20 automakers to make auto braking standard by 2022

Thu, Mar 17 2016

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety and virtually every automaker in the US domestic market have announced a pact to make automatic emergency braking standard by 2022. Here's the full rundown of companies involved: BMW, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Subaru, Tesla, Toyota, Volkswagen, and Volvo (not to mention the brands that fall under each automaker's respective umbrella). Like we reported yesterday, AEB will be as ubiquitous in the future as traction and stability control are today. But the thing to note here is that this is not a governmental mandate. It's truly an agreement between automakers and the government, a fact that NHTSA claims will lead to widespread adoption three years sooner than a formal rule. That fact in itself should prevent up to 28,000 crashes and 12,000 injuries. The agreement will come into effect in two waves. For the majority of vehicles on the road – those with gross vehicle weights below 8,500 pounds – AEB will need to be standard equipment by September 1, 2022. Vehicles between 8,501 and 10,000 pounds will have an extra three years to offer AEB. "It's an exciting time for vehicle safety. By proactively making emergency braking systems standard equipment on their vehicles, these 20 automakers will help prevent thousands of crashes and save lives," said Secretary of Transportation Anthony Foxx said in an official statement. "It's a win for safety and a win for consumers." Read on for the official press release from NHTSA.

Automakers making the commitment are Audi, BMW, FCA US LLC, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar Land Rover, Kia, Maserati, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi Motors, Nissan, Porsche, Subaru, Tesla Motors Inc., Toyota, Volkswagen and Volvo Car USA.

Watch this time-lapse build of the Chevy SS for NASCAR

Fri, 08 Feb 2013

There's only about a week left until we get our first look at the production version of the 2014 Chevrolet SS sedan, but Chevrolet NASCAR teams have been looking at the race version of the car all winter. Autoweek has posted a really neat time-lapse video showing just a portion of what it takes to build one of NASCAR's new Gen6 stock cars.
Though the video is quite brief, it does show almost the entire build process starting with just the car's nose, and it gives us a good look at how integral the template is to the final product. As a bonus, Hendrick Motorsports also provided some videos showing two of its teams performing pit stop tests over the winter. The second video shows some of the more detailed aspects of the racecar's rear end, including the stock-looking trunk cutout and a newly mandated rear bumper extension that will be used on super speedways like Daytona and Talladega.
To see what Team Chevy has been up to all off-season, check out all three videos posted after the jump.

Bring back the Bronco! Trademarks we hope are actually (someday) future car names

Tue, Mar 17 2015

Trademark filings are the tea leaves of the auto industry. Read them carefully – and interpret them correctly – and you might be previewing an automaker's future product plans. Yes, they're routinely filed to maintain the rights to an iconic name. And sometimes they're only for toys and clothing. But not always. Sometimes, the truth is right in front of us. The trademark is required because a company actually wants to use the name on a new car. With that in mind, here's a list of intriguing trademark filings we want to see go from paperwork to production reality. Trademark: Bronco Company: Ford Previous Use: The Bronco was a long-running SUV that lived from 1966-1996. It's one of America's original SUVs and was responsible for the increased popularity of the segment. Still, it's best known as O.J. Simpson's would-be getaway car. We think: The Bronco was an icon. Everyone seems to want a Wrangler-fighter – Ford used to have a good one. Enough time has passed that the O.J. police chase isn't the immediate image conjured by the Bronco anymore. Even if we're doing a wish list in no particular order, the Bronco still finds its way to the top. For now (unfortunately), it's just federal paperwork. Rumors on this one can get especially heated. The official word from a Ford spokesman is: "Companies renew trademark filings to maintain ownership and control of the mark, even if it is not currently used. Ford values the iconic Bronco name and history." Trademarks: Aviator, AV8R Company: Ford Previous Use: The Aviator was one of the shortest-run Lincolns ever, lasting for the 2003-2005 model years. It never found the sales success of the Ford Explorer, with which it shared a platform. We Think: The Aviator name no longer fits with Lincoln's naming nomenclature. Too bad, it's better than any other name Lincoln currently uses, save for its former big brother, the Navigator. Perhaps we're barking up the wrong tree, though. Ford has made several customized, aviation themed-Mustangs in the past, including one called the Mustang AV8R in 2008, which had cues from the US Air Force's F-22 Raptor fighter jet. It sold for $500,000 at auction, and the glass roof – which is reminiscent of a fighter jet cockpit – helped Ford popularize the feature. Trademark: EcoBeast Company: Ford Previous Use: None by major carmakers.
