1969 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu 6.5l on 2040-cars
Orlando, Florida, United States
|
This car is a custom street rod. I bought the car in daily driver condition, a Malibu with a 307 engine and 3 speed manual transmission. The car was originally form Oregon and was purchased in California, where it had been for many years. It was restored over a several year period in a frame on restoration. Most of the components used were all new and top of the line. A pro motor builder built up the 502 crate motor with top components, Dart heads, roller cam, racing carb, MSD Ignition, electric fuel pump, etc. The Turbo 400 Automatic transmission was built by Art Carr. A twelve bolt rear end was sourced and loaded with new gears. The drive shaft was built new for the car, as were the brakes and most of the other running gear. All these items have about 7k miles on them since installation. All the SS components were found and installed, including the gauges. A fiberglass hood based on the 1969 Z28 Camaro was sourced and installed, as I always loved that look. A custom coil over suspension was installed in the rear to increase traction and allow the use of wider tires without modifying the body or frame. Custom chrome SS wheels were purchased. The car was painted by a pro with high end European paint, base coat /clear coat. It looks stunning in person. The interior is original and very good for 45 years old, but no longer pristine. This is not an original collector car. It is a custom built street rod for driving. It is extremely fast, producing at least 600 horsepower. It is very exciting to drive, and turns heads wherever it goes. My reserve and buy it now price are well below the cost to produce this machine. I have some extensive records of the original car, and most receipts for the components I put in. I change the oil annually or more and the coolant as required.

Pushing Back: GM expanding Chevrolet into Korea, Daewoo out
Thu, 29 Apr 2010Chevrolet Camaro goes to South Korea - Click above for high-res image
General Motors decided several years ago to begin heavily promoting Chevrolet as its global mainstream brand even in markets where its existing brands like Opel and Daewoo were a dominant force. Today, at the Busan Motor Show in South Korea, GM Daewoo president Mike Arcamone announced that the Camaro would lead the way in GM's efforts to market Chevrolet in South Korea.
For now at least Chevrolet and Daewoo-branded vehicles will coexist in the Korean market. However, while we were in China last week GM officials told us that the Daewoo brand, which has been somewhat tainted by past quality issues, would eventually be phased out in favor of Chevrolet. When the new Aveo launches next year it will likely be badged as a Chevrolet even though GM Daewoo is in charge of engineering the car.
2014 Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra full configurators truck in
Sat, 15 Jun 2013You can now put prices to your wildest option-sheet dreams of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. A microsite for the full-size pickup truck twins has been up since January, and now the full-blown configurator is live and ready to take your virtual orders. The only two chassis configurations available at the moment are the Crew Cab with either a short or standard bed - Regular and Double Cab versions will come later. In Silverado flavors that will run you $32,710 for the short box, $33,010 for the standard box, while the Sierra adds a $1,500 premium to both of those prices, and destination and handling for both models adds another $995.
Since these are American pickups the list of modifications is lengthy, but we added $11,450 in just two steps by starting with the Silverado Crew Cab and standard bed, then checking four-wheel drive and the LTZ Z71 package. Our final truck, resplendent in Brownstone Metallic paint, heated and cooled Cocoa/Dune perforated leather seating and tasty details like chrome recovery hooks, and engine block heater and LED cargo box lighting, rang up $57,285 at the candy store.
They'll be on dealer lots sometime this summer, so now's a good time to start practicing your box-checking.
Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues
Wed, 28 Dec 2011'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.
