THIS LISTING IS FOR A 1964 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu SS Coupe. I got this car as a 16th birthday present but it didn't look or run anything like it does now! Im 31 yrs old now so I have had it for 15 + years. my computer froze while i was doing the listing so i apologize if the description is all jumbled up. BUT AS I WAS SAYING , I'VE HAD THIS CAR FOR 15 YEARS. I USED TO DRIVE IT FAIRLY OFTEN WHEN I WAS YOUNGER BUT I PUT A BRAND NEW ENGINE IN AT LEAST 8 YEARS AGO AND HAVE ONLY PUT ABOUT A THOUSAND MILES ON IT, SO THAT SHOULD TELL YOU HOW MUCH I DRIVE IT. THIS CAR UNDER WENT A $6000 TOTAL BODYWORK OVERHAUL, THEN A $9500 PAINT JOB. ALL OF THE GRAPHICS THAT YOU SEE ARE ALL HAND PAINTED! THEY ARE NOT VINYL GRAPHICS! HAS 20" RIMS IN REAR WITH 18" RIMS IN FRONT. NITTO TIRES WITH NEARLY ALL TREAD LEFT. THE MOTOR IS A 350/350. THE ONLY THING I REALLY DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE CAR IS THE GEAR RATIO IN THE REAR. I CAN CRUISE AT 70 MPH WITHOUT HAVING RPMS THAT HIGH. NEVER RACED OR BEAT ON THIS CAR( SO NO, I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT WOULD DO IN THE QUARTER MILE OR ITS TOP SPEED) BUT I CAN TELL YOU IT IS A VERY LIGHT CAR WITH A LOT OF POWER. FULLY TINTED, ALL FOUR WINDOWS ROLL DOWN COMPLETELY TO GIVE IT THAT REALLY NICE COUPE LOOK. GREAT IN THE SUMMER FOR AIR FLOW. DOES NOT HAVE A.C, POWER WINDOWS, POWER STEERING, OR POWER BRAKES ( NEVER REALLY FELT THE NEED AND IT DOES ADD A LOT OF WEIGHT, HANDLES GREAT WITHOUT IT) THE INTERIOR IS IN GREAT SHAPE. CENTER PIECE COULD USE A NEW PAINT JOB OR A CUSTOM PIECE BUILT AROUND THE SHIFTER WOULD REALLY LOOK NICE. HAS ORIGINAL BENCH SEAT IN REAR.

THE TRUNK IS WHERE THE SPEAKER BOX IS MOUNTED ( 2 10" SPEAKERS WITH AMPLIFIER) ABOUT A YEAR AGO I STRIPPED OUT ALL THE OLD CARPET AND PREPPED THE TRUNK FOR A FULL OVER HAUL BUT NEVER FINISHED IT. I HAVE A ROLL OF BLACK CARPET AND EVEN A NEW ROLL OF DYNAMAT BRAND SOUND BARRIER MATTING, WHICH IS INCLUDED. THE CAR RUNS AND DRIVES GREAT. HAS DRUM BRAKES IN REAR AND DISC IN FRONT. WITH A FEW HOURS OF WORK THE CAR WOULD BE COMPLETELY FINISHED! JUST DON'T HAVE THE TIME TO DO IT, LET ALONE DRIVE IT, WHICH IS THE FUN PART!!! AND EVEN WITH THE THINGS THAT AREN'T DONE BOTH CAR SHOWS I ENTERED I WON FIRST PLACE ! IN BOTH! DON'T MISS THIS ONE!!! SINCE THIS CAR IS OVER 50 YEARS OLD INSURANCE IS RIDICULOUS CHEAP.

GM to restore legendary Corvette damaged in sinkhole accident
Fri, Dec 5 2014Car lover's hearts' sank when they saw images of bent and destroyed classic Corvettes at the bottom of a sinkhole last February after the floor of the National Corvette Museum gave way. General Motors announced Wednesday it would restore the one millionth Corvette ever produced to its former glory. The 1992 convertible was heavily damaged when a 40-foot deep sinkhole opened beneath a bevy of rare cars at the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Since then, GM has been slowly restoring the classic cars, though five of the eight that caught in the sinkhole were determined to be too damaged to repair. This November, the 2009 Corvette ZR1 Blue Devil was the first car to be returned in mint condition to the Museum, according to Autoblog. It suffered significant damage but was still drivable after being pulled out of the debris. The one millionth Corvette is still in bad shape. The automaker is estimating six months worth of work to restore the car, which sustained paint scratches, rear-suspension damage and a mangled front fender.

Here's why automakers roll out those Texas-themed pickup trucks
Thu, Sep 29 2016Every year, automakers with a full-size truck link make a big show of the Texas State Fair, usually involving a reveal of a new model. Sometimes they show a whole new truck, and other times a special edition centered on the Lone Star state. While some people might write this off as a quirk of the industry, others might be wondering, "What's the big deal with Texas?" As it turns out, part of the big deal with Texas is big truck sales. According to Dave Sullivan, product analysis manager at AutoPacific, Texas buys more trucks than any other state in the country. It's not a small margin either. Edmunds.com, one in five trucks sold in the US are sold in Texas. The state also accounts for 15 percent of the country's large truck sales, which is more than twice that of California, the second largest truck market in America. Even when you break down sales only in Texas, trucks are a huge piece of the pie - Sullivan says that a quarter of new vehicle sales in Texas are trucks. One in five trucks sold in the US are sold in Texas. But it's not just sales that make truck builders give attention to Texas. As Sullivan explained, "Pickups are life in Texas." Both he and Hugh Milne, marketing and advertising manager for the Chevy Silverado line, said that trucks are key fixtures in Texas society, as both work trucks and luxury vehicles (or Texas Cadillacs as Milne called them). Milne said Texas is so important in the truck market that if you want to be successful in the rest of the country, "you've got to be successful in Texas." As for the State Fair, it has become a prime location for reveals in part because of the importance of the Texas market and because of how big the fair is. Milne also revealed that the State Fair also hosts its own auto show, so it's an ideal venue for a vehicle introduction. So there you have it. Why do truck builders obsess over Texas? It's because Texas obsesses over trucks. When you have one market that loves your product that much, you give it the attention it deserves.

2016 Chevy Equinox brings its revised face to Chicago
Thu, Feb 12 2015It's vital these days for automakers to keep up with the Jones' when in the crossover market. The segment is just too popular among buyers to let a vehicle waste away, and Chevrolet is giving the 2016 Equinox a slight refresh at the Chicago Auto Show to hopefully keep people interested. In reality, though, the CUV isn't too much different beyond a tweaked face and some interior improvements. The exterior now boasts a revised front fascia with a chrome-accented grille and projector beam headlights, and at the rear there are new taillights. Top -evel models get LED running lights, as well. Inside, the Equinox features a standard seven-inch touchscreen infotainment system with a backup cam, and for added safety, the CUV is now available with rear cross traffic and blade zone alert on some trims. Beyond these updates, the powertrains carry over entirely from before with the choice between a 2.4-liter four-cylinder and a 3.6-liter V6. These refreshed 2016 models go on sale this fall.
