Thanks for checking out this cool ride offered by M.E.S. Motorsports; where our cars are notorious for Making Everyone Stare! What we have for sale here is a super solid and original 1970 Chevelle Malibu. This has been a southern car(per previous owner) and is virtually rust free, very clean and runs nicely. This is a great car to drive to the local shows just the way it is or great platform for an LS swap or SS clone.

History – We picked this Chevelle up from a local collector that was needing to make some room in his garage.

Drivetrain – This Chevelle retains the numbers matching 350 V8 that has a newer Edelbrock carb on it. We just went through it and put in a new cam, lifters, seals, cap, rotor, plugs, wires, fresh fluids etc.  Motor runs excellent and fires right up even after sitting for several days. The smooth running motor is paired with a TH350 transmission that has just been gone through and serviced by Advanced Transmissions here in town. Car is equipped with 12 bolt rear end. New Flowmaster exhaust give this setup a nice rumble cruising down the road. Factory power steering and power drum brakes make this car easy to drive.  Starter was just rebuilt as well. The odometer states 12k and some change but am sure that's not original as the odometer has stopped working. Overall this is an excellent driving car to just get it, turn the key and go!

Exterior – The car was painted by the previous owner and is presentable to drive around but could stand a repaint to take this car to the next level. Its a single stage paint that appears was never cut or block sanded before paint. The body is straight with no apparent rust and would require little prep work to be repainted from what we can tell. All body panels appear to be original. As with any car this age, I always assume that there is some filler or bondo even if only minor. However, we see no signs of anything major on this car. Vinyl top is in excellent shape with little to no signs of wear. Chrome bumpers look new. Glass is excellent. Grill has been blacked out and looks really cool.

Underneath - Solid is what comes to mind with this one. Floors, frame, the whole underside of the car is solid. It has not been coated or sprayed and we left it that way so that you could really see how nice it is. Took plenty of pictures.

Interior – The interior is very clean and well kept. Black bench seats, Newer black carpet, aftermarket steering wheel, am/fm cassette with 2 6x9's in the rear deck lid. All interior panels are very nice and the dash is perfect. Windshield wipers work nicely. Factory AC car with everything still under the hood. Compressor clicks on but doesn't blow cold. May need Freon. Heat works great.

Suspension - Stock with no known modifications.

Wheel/Tires – New 15" Torque Thrusts II's with like new rubber give this one the right stance! Front tires are Kumho 225/60R15 and the rears are Hankook Ventus 275/60R15.

Known issues – Some paint bubbling on the hood and a tiny amount on the rear deck. Some minor overspray here and there. Windshield wiper motor cover has damage. Drivers headrest is torn and there is some wear on the drivers door armrest pad. Speedometer light and dome light are not currently working. AC doesn't blow cold, believe it needs freon. When the blower motor is turned to high is stops working but works great on every other setting.

Title - Clean and clear "open" title.

About us - M.E.S. Motorsports, LLC was founded and started by myself and my best friend of almost 30 years now. While M.E.S. was “officially” put into action around 2012, it really started back in the 90’s during our high school days. Even back then we were in each other’s garage every weekend working on our cars. We have always shared the same enthusiasm for that one thing…..Automobiles!  Hot rods, classics, customs, sports cars, fast cars, loud cars, basically anything with 4 wheels and an engine. For as long as I can remember we’ve always enjoyed “playing” with cars and recently decided to share our passion and creativity with others and thus M.E.S. Motorsports, LLC was officially launched . At this time we are not licensed car dealers but rather auto enthusiasts with a passion for buying and selling cars to and from other auto enthusiasts and collectors.  Our goal is to sell cars that you can actually get into and drive anywhere!  We believe that cars are actually meant to be driven on the road and not just stored. A lot of the cars that we find are from individuals who are simply not using them anymore or that started restoring them but never finished. Some cars may just need some cleaning and a tune up while other may need paint or finish work. Whatever the case is, we try to address any issues and get them road worthy. We hate to see any car just sitting, rotting or not being used. We believe that everyone out there should have the car of their dreams and that they should be able to drive it anywhere they want to go!

Stop-start standard in four-cylinder 2015 Chevrolet Impala

Fri, May 23 2014

Chevrolet has announced that it will include stop-start technology as standard in the entry level 2015 Impala. The result is a nearly five-percent improvement in city fuel economy, also known as one mile per gallon, up to 25 mpg, combined. The 3.6-liter V-6 Impala will not feature stop-start. The 2015 Impala comes equipped with Chevrolet's 2.5-liter Ecotec four-cylinder engine, which will also offer 22 mpg in the city, and 31 on the highway. The 3.6-liter V-6 Impala will not feature stop-start and the mild-hybrid eAssist model from the 2014 MY, which got 29/25/35 combined/city/highway mpg, has been discontinued. Chevrolet spokesman Chad Lyons told Green Car Reports that not even one percent of the 2014 Impalas purchased were the Eco model. So Chevy is trying something different. With a seamless driving experience in mind, the new Impala's stop-start tech features software that governs under what conditions the feature will activate. The engine won't shut off if the car has not reached a speed of six miles per hour, so the start-stop won't be cycling during traffic jams. It can also fire the starter even if the engine has not come to a full stop, which quickens reaction time, particularly in instances of what Chevrolet calls "change-of-mind events." The stop-start function uses information about cabin temperature and humidity as well as battery charge to help determine whether or not to shut off the engine. The 2015 Impala has been engineered to reduce NVH, which will also help create a smoother stop-start experience for occupants, Chevy says. Motor mounts have been updated, and a burlier starter motor will help restart the engine after a stop. The Impala follows the 2014 Malibu as Chevrolet's second vehicle to feature stop-start tech. The four-cylinder model currently makes up over 30 percent of Impala sales. The 2015 Impala will be available beginning this summer, with a base MSRP of $27,735 (including destination charges). And while one MPG isn't a huge difference, neither is the price increase of just $50 for a bit of eco-minded innovation. Read on for more details in the press release below. Chevrolet Makes Stop/Start Standard in 2015 Impala Technology improves city fuel economy by 5 percent 2014-05-22 DETROIT – Stop/start technology will be standard on the 2015 Impala base 2.5-liter ECOTEC® engine, an addition that improves the vehicle's city fuel economy by nearly 5 percent, or one mile per gallon.

NHTSA could add 1M cars to GM recall

Wed, 13 Mar 2013


The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.

2015 Chevy Volt gets larger battery, though range remains the same

Sat, Jul 19 2014

The Chevrolet Volt isn't changing much for the 2015 model year. According to specifications uncovered by Inside EVs, though, the new Volt's battery does have a slightly larger capacity. According to the spec sheet, this doesn't translate to increased range. Real world driving, though, might tell a different story. The 2015 Volt's battery storage is slightly higher than the outgoing model's, up from 16.5 kilowatt-hours to 17.1 kWh. According to GM's manager of electrification technology communications, Kevin Kelly, speaking to Green Car Reports, the increased capacity is "a late change done in the cell... just another continuous improvement to surprise and delight our customers." The stated electric range, however, stays at 38 miles. Inside EVs followed up on its original report, and found that drivers could see some advantage to the battery tweak. When they spoke to Kelly, he told them, "As a result of this change, we would expect that some customers may see a slight improvement in overall EV range." It's worth noting that when battery capacity increased from 16 kWh to 16.5 kWh for the 2013 Volt, electric range increased by three miles to the current 38, while MPGe went from 94 to 98. The price of the 2015 Chevrolet Volt remains steady, at $34,995. The actual cost to the customer is considerably less with the $7,500 federal tax credit, as well as any local incentives.
