1968 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu Hardtop 2-door 5.4l on 2040-cars
El Paso, Texas, United States
|
Car History: Car sat for years in a elderly gentlemen's yard in Arizona just waiting to be rescued. I finally purchased the car, replaced the flat tires to get it rolling, and trailered it back to El Paso. As with most southwestern cars, they are extremely solid and have very little rust. The roads here see little snow or salt so the condition reflects. Purchased with the intention of restoring but I just don't have the money to restore both my 74' Stingray and this car. The car runs and drives, but it should definitely be checked out before making long trips. With any car that sits for a long time, its best to do a thorough inspection beforehand.
Interior: Needs the most attention. Seats are torn and the seat bolts are loose. Car has no carpet or headliner, door panels need replacing as well. FLOORS LOOK SOLID! Engine: 327 cu in, starts and runs. Seems to be the original 327 but Im not sure. The only thing that seems to be out of place is the fact that someone changed the original manual tranny to an automatic. You can still see the clutch pedal in the car. If it were me, I would go back to the original manual setup or even go with an LS swap. As far as I can see, the carburetor is original and so are most of the other engine parts. Clearly the radiator and radiator support look new, but I think thats it. The water pump spits water from time to time and tranny has a periodic leak. No other leaks as I can see. The exhausts come right off of the headers, no mufflers. Suspension and Brakes: The rear shocks look fairly new and the front disks are solid as well as the rear drums. Like I said before, I replaced all the tires since the car had four flats. The back tires are brand new and the front are used but solid. Overall: This car makes an outstanding canvas for restoring. No need to hunt for expensive trim and various other parts, its mostly all here. I really wish I had the money to restore it but its best for someone who does. As you see the car, this is exactly how I found it, besides the tires of course. I am by no means a mechanic, so I have not fooled around with the car at all. I hate when people do that, so I don't do it. You are more than welcome to ask any questions, request additional info or pictures, and I will send a timely response. The car is available for viewing here in East El Paso if interested.

2016 Chevy Volt will not need premium gas
Wed, Oct 29 2014Buried in the new technical details of the 2016 Chevy Volt released yesterday was a throwaway line about a small but important change that's due to the new 1.5-liter, four-cylinder engine. The first-gen Volt has always required premium gas but the new powerplant will be happy burning plain old regular. The Volt's chief engineer, Andrew Farah, told AutoblogGreen that the change was due to today's Volt owners explaining they were not happy paying for top-shelf petroleum. "The ability to use regular unleaded was based directly on customer feedback," he said. "Since the range extender is an all-new engine, it was optimized to use regular unleaded at the outset. Using regular fuel will not have effect on vehicle acceleration or other performance factors." As Larry Nitz, GM's executive director of vehicle electrification, told AutoblogGreen yesterday, the new engine is more powerful and quieter than the outgoing 1.4-liter engine that's used in the current Volt. Fuel economy and EV range specs for the next-gen Volt are not expected until the full car is revealed at the Detroit Auto Show in January.
GM recalling 118K Colorado, Canyon pickups over missing hood latches
Thu, 20 Dec 2012General Motors has announced a recall of 118,800 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon pickup trucks due to the possibility of secondary hood latches not being installed at the time of manufacture. The affected vehicles are from the 2010, 2011 and 2012 model years, all of which were built between November 9, 2009 and August 28, 2012.
According to the official National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report, these trucks fail to "comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 113, 'Hood Latch System.' The hood may be missing the secondary hood latch." In other words, owners of these trucks could find their vehicles' hoods opening unexpectedly while driving.
The official recall campaign is expected to begin on January 17, 2013. Dealers will inspect the affected pickups and if a secondary hood latch is not present, one will be installed free of charge. Scroll down to read the official NHTSA report.
Chevrolet Malibu gets across-the-board price cuts, hopes to dig out of slump
Mon, 11 Feb 2013To say that things aren't going well for the newly redesigned 2013 Chevrolet Malibu is a pretty sizable understatement. Reports have been swirling about the Malibu getting an emergency design refresh, less than a year after its introduction, as well as having its production at the Fairfax Assembly Plant halted twice already this year for excessive inventory. Now, Motor Trend is reporting that the midsize sedan will be receiving price drops across the board ranging from $300 on a number of models up to $770 on the 1LT trim; offsetting some of MSRP drop, though, the destination charge has increased from $760 to $810.
Without destination, the entry-level Malibu LS now starts at $21,995, which is still about $300 more than a Honda Accord and about $300 less than the segment's top-selling Toyota Camry. This new pricing also drops the price of the Eco, 2LT and 3LT trims by $300. The LTZ trim has dropped by $415, meaning that the Malibu's top dog now starts at just under $30,000, excluding destination.
Here are the new starting prices for all eight of the Malibu trim levels compared to the previous prices for the 2013 model year (including destination):
