Here is a very interesting car we purchased in Carlisle PA at the fall swap meet. The car was built in Framingham MA and shipped to PA. The original owner drove this Malibu sparingly and always had it in the garage. In the late 80s, he had the car restored to his taste. Originally, the car was a 307-V8, so he decided to build a performance 1969 4 bolt main .010 motor. Performance upgrades such as cylinder head work, mild cam, Edelbrock intake and carb and Flow master exhaust system, TH350 trans., 12 bolt Moroso posi rear and F11 sway bar. Original AC and still works excellent. The car was repainted once in the mid 80s and still looks fantastic. Laser straight orig. body panels, proper alignment to all the doors, hood and rear deck lid. Solid orig. rear quarter and trunk pan. Solid orig. floor pans and frame with no signs of any sheet metal replacement. Upgraded 16" Rally wheels with low profile radial black wall tires. PS, PFDB and rear defogger. Equipped with an awesome am/fm CD player with sub-woofers in the trunk. The headlamps were upgraded to Halogen, giving brighter night vision. Beautiful original chrome front and rear bumpers, orig. front grille, marker lights, tail lamp bezels and lenses are in perfect shape. Orig. tinted glass, factory orig. paint through out the doors, hood and trunk jamb areas. Window felts, door hardware, sill plates are in exceptional condition. This one owner car has custom Recaro bucket seats, very comfortable. Also, the rear bench is a folding seat from a 1969 Chevelle station wagon. The dash board and instrument cluster is original and show 59,707 miles indicated as actual. The door panels, headliner, rear pkg. tray are original and in tip top shape. No cracks noticed on the factory steering wheel. The column was shaved to remove the gear shift lever and B&M shifter was installed on the floor. Tastefully done, the restoration cost was approx. $40k spent back in the 80s! Over the past year, the engine was completely overhauled from a reputable engine builder in central PA. Having the chance to meet him, he claimed the car had less than 200 miles on the rebuild. No expense spared on this custom restoration of this rock solid example. Comes with a factory build sheet, PA Title and history dating back to the 80s. Certainly, one of a kind, drives excellent with no apologies. Just a "really cool" mild custom Malibu.

GM re-recalls 11k SUVs

Tue, Oct 13 2015

General Motors is recalling a bunch of previously recalled SUVs because, well, they still aren't quite fixed. The latest repairs are necessary on 10,974 SUVs in North America, including 9,932 in only the US. Affected models include the 2006-2007 Buick Rainier, Chevrolet Trailblazer, and GMC Envoy; plus the 2006 Trailblazer EXT and Envoy XL. While not listed by NHTSA, a statement by GM to Autoblog says the 2006-2007 Saab 9-7X and Isuzu Ascender are also affected. In these SUVs, it's possible that liquid could get into the driver's door master power window switch module and cause a short circuit. This could potentially lead to a fire, and owners are urged to park the vehicles outside until repaired. GM has been trying to fix this issue for years. It started as an investigation into fires, and that led to a recall for about 250,000 vehicles in cold-weather states. A nationwide campaign came in 2013 for 193,000 of them in the US. Last year, the automaker decided to replace the whole module as a repair. However in a recent investigation of these recalls, GM discovered that this latest group of SUVs never received the new part. According to documents submitted to NHTSA (as a PDF), "Some dealers incorrectly used the labor code associated with module replacement when, instead of replacing the module, they only added a protective coating to the module." To fix things this time, the models finally get the correct component. Related Video: GM Statement General Motors is recalling 9,932 older midsize SUVs in the U.S. because they were mistakenly excluded from an earlier recall. Certain 2006 Chevrolet TrailBlazer EXT and GMC Envoy XL, and 2006-2007 TrailBlazer, Envoy, Buick Rainier, Saab 9-7X and Isuzu Ascender vehicles may continue to have a condition in which the printed circuit board inside the driver's door may corrode and short if exposed to certain fluids such as melted snow containing road salt. GM is aware of four fires but no crashes, injuries or fatalities associated with the expanded recall. The total number of vehicles being recalled, including Canada, Mexico and exports is 10.974. Customers are urged to park these vehicles outside until repairs have been made. GM reported this recall to the NHTSA on September 23.

Experimental mid-engine XP-819 Corvette going up for auction

Sun, 17 Feb 2013

It seems to be commonplace that when a new Corvette is in development, rumors swirl about a possible mid-engine layout. As is the case of Chevy's most recent C7 Corvette, these rumors never pan out.
In any case, the idea for a 'Vette with an engine mounted behind the driver can probably all be traced back to a single car, the 1964 XP-819 prototype. Built as an "engineering exercise" back in 1964, the prototype was designed with a rear-mounted engine. History tells us that the idea of a rear-engine Corvette fizzled, and the XP-819 was eventually cut up into pieces and stored at a shop in Daytona Beach, FL.
After sitting for untold years, a restoration project started on the car, and while it isn't yet fully completed, the current owner of the car, Mid America Motorworks, will have the car on display at the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance as a "driveable chassis" with hopes of having a fully completed car ready to bring to next year's show.

Chevy might've pulled out of NASCAR if it weren't for new Gen 6 car

Wed, 20 Feb 2013

We've been on the fence with NASCAR for some time now. On one hand, it's some of the closest racing anywhere in motorsports, with actual passing and door-handle-to-door-handle action as a matter of course. But on the other, it's become template racing - a personality-driven sport more about the drivers than any sort of loyalty to a particular automaker. The Car Of Tomorrow format really rammed that message home, with a racecar's identity coming down to little more than headlamp stickers slapped on the nose. That's not necessarily a bad thing in and of itself, but we've wondered for some time what's in it for the automakers, who pay big money to stay in a series that has had little increasingly little do with street car sales, let alone innovation.
Apparently General Motors was beginning to wonder the same thing. In a new ESPN report, Rick Hendrick, team owner of Hendrick Motorsports, suggests that GM would have seriously considered leaving NASCAR if it wasn't for the move away from the COT to the new Gen 6 racer. According to Hendrick, GM North America boss Mark Reuss spearheaded the charge away from the 2007 COT and toward a racecar with clearer automaker ties - cars like the new Chevrolet SS racer shown above. Learn more about the fight for a closer-to-production look in the ESPN story at the link.
Now, if we could just get more rear-wheel drive V8 coupes into showrooms....
