1965 Malibu 
2 door Hardtop
** NO RESERVE**

I bought this car along with a convertible a couple of years ago. I have since sold the convertible and because I have too many projects ahead of it, this is now for sale. I have come to realize that I will never get all of the cars done I was hoping to, so I will be listing several of them all unreserved over the summer.

Description

Mechanical: The engine runs well ( I was told there are very few miles on it since a rebuild... I have no idea if it is a 283 ,327 or 350 but it is a 4 barrel) and does not smoke or make strange noises, the transmission shifts well and car seems to steer as it should. The brakes need the lines replaced. I replaced one last week to move it around the yard and this morning when I moved to take pictures the other line gave out so right now it has no brakes. The battery needs to be replaced, the electrical seems to work as it should although I did not check every light and accessory. The fuel tank has been removed and is included, I run it now off a gas can. The exhaust system will need some work but it is not real loud.

Interior:  The seats were redone at some point are in acceptable condition with some fading but not torn up, the carpet is worn and the headliner and door panels are driver quality at best, the dash pad is cracked but the dash is original and complete.

Body: The body is rough, the left rear 1/4 has damage behind the wheel opening and rust and rear bumper is pulled away on that side.  A rock from my lawn mower broke the back window  other wise the glass is good and roles up and down there are a couple of small chips in the windshield but no cracks. I have not put the car on the hoist but from checking it out while it was on the trailer the floors seem reasonable, the frame and cowl look good. The trunk floor needs to be replaced, the previous owner removed the fuel tank to do the repair but never finished it (the fuel tank and straps are included). All the trim seems to be there. The car has the expected amount of rust for its age. Originally the car appears to have been a darker metallic blue from the factory.

Title: This car has a British Columbia title and registration, if the winning bidder is from the US I can help with importation documents as I have done it many time before.

Overall: This is a car that needs to be completely redone. The most cost effective way would be to use a 4 door as a parts car, most everything this car needs a 4 door will provide. It is a bucket seat car with floor console and shifter and interestingly enough has a working 8000 RPM Tach  which appears to be factory equipped. I couldn't find enough information on a Canadian Malibu to see if it was available as an option. It would take very little work to make a driver out of it and for the most part its all there. In reasonable condition these cars bring 20,000+ so there is a lot of room to improve this car and still be in it for the less than market value. If you in the market for a 1960's Chevy muscle car that, when done  won't cost more than a house then with no reserve this may be the car for you.

Location: The car is located in Salmon Arm in south central British Columbia about 4 hours from the US border.

Payment: Certified bank draft or cash when you pick it up is good, but bank to bank wire transfer is preferable. Payment must be made within 5 days of the close of the auction... no exceptions... I can store the car at no charge for a month or two if you need time and can help arrange shipping if needed ( I have shipped many cars across Canada and the US but will not give out shipping quotes except to the winning bidder as it takes a lot of phone calls to arrange a shipper)

Note: If you use the Buy it Now I will at my cost install the gas tank and do the brake work needed to make the car roadworthy so it can be driven a long distance
in case the buyer wants to drive it home.

Chevy bringing updated Equinox to Chicago

Fri, Feb 6 2015

An updated Chevy Equinox will be revealed at next week's Chicago Auto Show, the automaker confirmed Friday in a press release. The debut of the updated, 2016 Equinox comes on the heels of the midsize crossover – pictured above in its current, 2015-model-year form – posting its best January sales month ever. No details have been released, but Chevy did send out the teaser image you see at right, showing an updated front fascia with new headlamps and LED running lights. This update for the Equinox can't come soon enough. The midsize crossover segment is huge right now, and Chevy's player has largely been unchanged since the second-generation Equinox debuted in 2009. When asked about when we might see a tweaked version of the GMC Terrain – the Equinox's sibling – a General Motors spokesperson could not confirm any specific timing. In any case, we'll bring you all the official details of the new Equinox when it shows its updated face, next week.

GM to invest $150 million in Flint to boost heavy-duty pickup production

Thu, Jun 13 2019

FLINT, Mich. — General Motors President Mark Reuss said on Wednesday that the automaker is investing about $150 million at its Flint Assembly plant in Michigan to boost production of heavy duty trucks by another 40,000 vehicles a year. Reuss announced the investment at the Flint truck assembly plant wearing a United Auto Workers pin. The Detroit automaker had announced back in February it was adding 1,000 jobs in Flint to build a new generation of heavy-duty pickup trucks. GM did not say that the latest investment would add more jobs at the plant, but Reuss said there could be opportunities to add workers as the launch of the automaker's new trucks progresses. GM has been under pressure from President Donald Trump and lawmakers of both parties to add jobs in the United States after it said last November it would idle the Chevy Cruze assembly plant in Lordstown, Ohio, and likewise had no new products for three other U.S. manufacturing plants. The Flint investment will include upgrades to the plant's conveyors and other new tooling, and will be completed in the first half of 2020. GM has invested more than $1.6 billion in the plant since 2013. Last month, GM said it would invest $24 million to increase truck production at its assembly plant in Fort Wayne, Indiana, which makes Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra models. Sales of heavy-duty pickups in the United States have grown to more than 600,000 vehicles a year, up more than 20 percent since 2013, according to industry data. Prices for luxury models can easily top $70,000. GM's Chevrolet and GMC brands have long trailed Ford's F-series heavy duty trucks in the lucrative segment. The new Chevrolet and GMC heavy duty trucks have been re-engineered to tow heavier trailers, and keep pace in what has become an arms race among the Detroit Three automakers to claim superior torque and towing capability.

GM executive chief EV engineer says reducing cost of plug-in vehicles is 'huge priority'

Mon, Mar 17 2014

As we know, another major automaker investing heavily in electrified vehicles is General Motors, and it's doing things much differently than rivals BMW, Ford or Nissan. The Chevrolet Volt extended-range EV is a modest seller at its $35,000 sticker price but a huge hit with owners. The Chevy Spark BEV, still in limited availability, puts smiley faces on its owners and drivers. The just-introduced Cadillac ELR, a sharp-looking, fun-driving $76,000 luxocoupe take on the Volt's EREV mechanicals, has admittedly low sales expectations. With this interesting trio in showrooms and much more in the works, the third vehicle electrification leader I collared for an interview at Detroit's North American International Auto Show (see #1 and #2) was Pam Fletcher, GM's executive chief engineer, Electrified Vehicles. ABG: Why do your EREVs need four-cylinder power to extend their range when BMW's i3 makes do with an optional 650 cc two-banger? "We designed [the Volt and the ELR] to go anywhere, any time" - Pam Fletcher PF: I get that question all the time: why not something smaller? You don't really need that much. You use the electric to its ability, then you just need to limp. But we designed those cars to go anywhere, any time, and we don't want their performance to be compromised. If you're driving through the mountains, we don't want you to be crawling up grades, or to be limited on any terrain. So it's optimized to be able to travel literally the biggest grades and mountain roads around the globe at posted speeds. Because what if you can't? Another good reason: when the engine is on, you have to run it wide open throttle, max speed, most of the time. And while we can do a lot with acoustics, and the ELR has active noise cancelation, a small-displacement, low cylinder-count engine at high speed, high load all the time isn't something you want to live with. That's how we came up with the balance we did among the key factors of performance, NVH [noise, vibration and harshness] and range. ABG: Where you go from here? Is the range-extender engine due for an update? PF: We know and love the current Volt, and there is still a lot of acclaim about it, so we think it's a good recipe. But we are heavily in the midst of engineering the next-generation car, which I think everyone will love and be excited about.
