1967 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu 2dr Ht-rolling Project-fact 4sp W/docs & Pop on 2040-cars
Lehigh Acres, Florida, United States
GENERAL DISCRIPTION This listing is for a 1967 Chevelle Malibu Sport Coupe (2 dr ht) and is a "NON" running or driving Project. This was a factory V8 4 speed, bench seat car when new, and I have the documents to prove it, but now it has "NO" Motor or Trans or Brakes !! Otherwise the car still retains most of it's original parts and is about a 90% complete rolling project. The car will roll and steer to be put on a trailer but has no brakes. The car will need a serious restoration, however it is far from being junk and is as good or better than most project Chevelle's. The body has rust and will need panel replacement, however it is structurally sound and has a solid foundation in all the necessary places, and in the proper hands, this car will prove to be an excellent (and even easy) restoration canidate, that will result in a High End - High Dollar Collector item !! For those still interested I will describe in detail all the good and bad issues with the car. I want you to know exactly what you are buying and getting into. The car has a more than fair reserve (don't ask), and is priced to sell. The parts alone on this car are worth more than my reserve. I run honest - no bull - auctions, so if you are truly interested in the car, be on top at the end, (and be serious), because I do "NOT" drive up my own bids or use friends bids !! All bids you see will be honest and legit bidders. TITLE & DOC'S I do have a clear /open Florida Title in my name and will be turned over to the new owner after funds have been received and bank cleared. I have original documents on the car including the original dealer delivery window sticker invoice that shows prices and options, and also the original owners warranty book and metal Protect-O- Plate info. VEHICLE CONDITION This is a Goodcar - Badcar situation, and the pro builder will say "no problem" and the amateur will say "no way". With that said, I'll describe all the Good-Bad-Ugly issues and you can decide wether it's right for you. Overall this car is a great builder, but you will need to judge it from the inside out and not on the overall appearance. First of all lets look at the good aspects. This car was undercoated when new, so it helped save most of the undercarrage. The frame is in excellent condition with only the normal surface rust and has not been bent nor damaged. The inner and outer rocker area is rock solid, as is all of the support areas and bracing. The trunk drops are excellent as are the inner wells - trunk hump - rear floor - and under rear seat. The front floors are rotted through in places, but not all the way to the rockers, and have plenty of good metal left to work with. The trunk floor has been fiberglassed over by previous owner and is hard to tell how solid it actually is. Looks ok, but I would count on replacing the complete trunk floor. The window channels are very solid for this kind of car. The back channel looks good as does the package tray area and should not need any repair. The front channel is good except the strip on the bottom at the dash and the corners. Top of dash is in great condition, so a simple repair panel for the front window channel is all that's needed. The roof is nasty to look at, and mostly covered in surface rust, but is solid and with no rot or weak spots, except for a small area on the sail panel (shown). The fire wall needs a small simple patch around the heater core area outlet, but otherwise this and the cowl area is very solid. The door posts at the bottom corners will need small patchs, but not serious. Just want you to know all !! The front fenders can be saved and repaired with a few small patchs, and the rad support and inner wells are all solid. Both doors are good. The r/s door is excellent and the l/s door is ok from the outside, but will need some attention on the bottom inside. The trunk lid is very solid only having minor rust, and is solid on the inside lip and edges. Now for the bad news - Both 1/4 panels and the rear light panel, along with a complete trunk floor should be replaced. 1/4 s can be repaired with alot of time and patience, but would be much faster and easer just to replace. The worst area for rust on the car is the weatherstrip channel inside the trunk, and with new -"FULL" - 1/4 s, and a rear light panel, this problem will take care of itself, as the full panel will include the weatherstrip channel's and the sail panel area. The good news to all this is these panels are readily available and fairly cheep, and with a solid foundation to weld to, this should be a simple repair job. The only other thing worth mentioning about rust is the metal removable dash panel that houses the instruments was rusted badly and was removed, but I have another panel that is in pristeen condition.and goes with the sale. The old one still has the braces and cluster in it and you can use this to make a good one. The un-removable part of the dash is excellent, so when finished, all of the metal dash parts will be good. The only ugly news is the hood is pure junk !! It is included, but will need to be replaced. INCLUDED The factory original 4 Speed column - The brake/clutch pedal setup - All Glass is in great condition (no windshield) - Most all trim is with car and in fairly good used condition - Front & Rear seats are usable with no rips or tears - Good 10 bolt rear end - Has a fairly good and very usable exhaust system and a set of headers for a small block - All suspension parts are present and with no damage All heater parts MISSING FROM VEHICLE Motor - Trans - Driveshaft - Radiator - Windshield - Rear door panels - Headliner - Some misc small items & some of the wiring I think I have covered just about everything you you would need to know about the condition of the car, and have provided good pics of the rusted areas. If you need aditional info or pics of a specific area, please contact me through ebay. I will provide you with 30 days of free outside storage from the time of purchase. After 30 days, there will be a $10. a day storage fee in place untill picked up !!! If you purchase it and do not pick it up yourself - "PLEASE" - let the transporter know that the car does not run and has no brakes. Please read the payment rules and abide by them !! A $200 deposit is due within 48 hrs of close of auction This deposit is "NON" refundable, and if not paid by the required time, the car will be offered to the next and backup bidder !!!! And please contact me with your intentions on payment and pickup times. |

GM is quietly slashing prices on base models
Fri, Jan 30 2015While General Motors' fourth quarter financial figures haven't yet been released, the automaker seems to be weathering a potentially rocky time well, even beating third-quarter projections last year. To keep the climb going, the company is launching new base trims for several popular models that make them cheaper than ever but with tight dealer margins. The new entry-level trims are the Chevrolet Cruze L, Equinox L, GMC Terrain SL and Buick LaCrosse 1SV. Buyers lose some content by picking them, but the prices are slashed. According to Cars Direct, the biggest savings are on the LaCrosse, where customers pay $31,065, plus $925 destination, $2,570 less than the previous base 1SB trim but must accept things like 17-inch wheels and no cargo net in the back. If you're wondering how Buick can remove only a little equipment but cut the price so much, it's because the company also slashed dealer margins. According to Cars Direct, the difference between the invoice and MSRP for the LaCrosse 1SV is only around $150, compared to around $1,350 before. The disparity is even greater for the Cruze with an $81 difference in the prices, compared to about $600 for the LS version. Showrooms are expected to keep very low stocks of these trims, though. "Dealers use such vehicles to get people in the door, but they do not generally want to do high volumes of these strippers. The margins are next to nothing; they don't make much money off these cars," said Ed Kim, Vice President of Industry Analysis for AutoPacific to Autoblog. Dealers are also expected to advertise that these new base trims undercut major competitors. For example, the Cruze L rings up for about $2,320 less than a Honda Civic LX, according to Cars Direct. One potential drawback for buyers is that these models might not be eligible for incentives. While the attractive prices might get customers into dealers, folks may not actually end up driving home with these entry-level models. Kim indicated base trims also make up a small portion of the sales mix. "Consumers aren't asking for stripped out vehicles, even at the low end of the marketplace," he said.

GM faces possible class action lawsuit over 8-speed transmission
Thu, Apr 25 2019General Motors has been hit with a class-action lawsuit from owners who allege the eight-speed automatic transmission found in several rear-wheel-drive Chevrolet, Cadillac and GMC models between the 2015 and 2019 model years has a defect that causes the vehicles to hesitate and jerk when accelerating or slowing down. The lawsuit was posted to ClassAction.org and spotted by GM Authority. Problems with GM's Hydra-Matic 8L90 and 8L45 transmissions have been well-documented on Internet forums and via complaints filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, with many reporting damage to their vehicles. The lawsuit was first filed in December in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida but appears to have been transferred recently to New York. Autoblog sought comment from Theodore Leopold, the lead attorney for the plaintiffs. "These transmissions have a common defect," the complaint reads. "Drivers attempting to accelerate or decelerate their cars feel a hesitation, followed by a significant shake, shudder, jerk, clunk, or 'hard shift' when the vehicle's automatic transmission changes gears." The problem also occurs when the vehicles accelerate in a single gear, without shifting, the plaintiffs allege. "Drivers have reported that the shift is sometimes so violent, they feel as though they have been hit by another vehicle." The problem is believed to center on the transmission, torque converter or both. The complaint says it causes undue friction, causing hydraulic systems and gears to function improperly and sometimes leaves metal shavings throughout the transmission, leading to costly repairs and replacement of parts or the entire transmission. It says GM has known about the problems since shortly after it introduced the transmissions, and has issued 13 technical service bulletins, none of which have resolved the problem. GM declined to comment on the lawsuit. The plaintiffs say GM should have warned consumers about the issues and covered repairs under each vehicle's three-year/36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty. They're seeking statewide classes in at least six states: California, Florida, Illinois, New York, Oklahoma and Texas.
GM throttles back Chevy Malibu, Buick LaCrosse production over swollen inventories
Wed, 06 Feb 2013As inventory of the Chevrolet Malibu and Buick LaCrosse continues to pile up, General Motors will be idling its Fairfax Assembly Plant for two weeks, according to Automotive News. This move comes about a month after the plant was shut down for three weeks in late December and early January for the same reason. As of January 31, the GM had a 94-day supply of Malibu stock while the LaCrosse was a little worse with a 117-day supply.
Just last week, GM announced that it would be investing $600 million in upgrading this plant, but it's unclear what future plans the company has in store for Fairfax considering slow sales of both the plant's models. We do expect a refreshed and more luxurious LaCrosse shortly and an early design update for the Malibu to be announced at some point this year, although we have had no official word as to when either will happen.
