1970 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu Hardtop 2-door 5.7l Factory Muncie 4sp & 12-bolt on 2040-cars
Poway, California, United States
1970 Chevrolet Chevelle/Malibu 350 Special ordered on 5/12/1970 from White Allen Chevrolet in Dayton, Ohio by 21yr old Carol Huff. After waiting two months Miss Huff took delivery of her dream Chevelle on July 13,1970. She was a car girl and did her homework ordering her Chevelle with the 300hp 350ci V8, Muncie 4sp, gauge package and 12-bolt differential with a 3.31 posi. She splurged on power front disc brakes but little else. This Chevelle is a base model stripper/street racer, i.e. bench seat, AM radio, dog dish hubcaps and manual steering with a sticker price right at $3200.00. She was not a big fan of the bright colors of the era so her Chevelle was ordered in a more sedate Code 17 Shadow Gray with black interior. Miss Huff had fun driving and racing her Chevelle in Southern Ohio untill she decided to move out to CA in 1975 towing a 12 foot U-Haul trailer behind the Chevelle. She settled in San Diego got married, started a family driving the Chevelle sparingly untill parking it in the early 80's. She reluctantly sold to Chevelle in 1985 to the local and very persistant UPS man that had taken a shine to the Chevelle. Fast forward 29 years to this past January when I was able to purchase the Chevelle from the UPS guy that had put the car in his back yard shortly after buying it from Miss Huff. Weather, time and unfortunately rodents had taken a toll on the once mighty Chevelle. After a good cleaning and a lot of work the Chevelle is once again a running and driving car with current registration and a clean CA title. I was even able to track down the original owner and show her the Chevelle. She related numerous stories and information concerning the Chevelle that add to it's colorful history. Including, why the M-20 Muncie has a build date of 11/21/1970? four months after the build date on the trim tag. As related by Miss Huff the Chevelle was in a minor accident shortly after she took delivery and went to the local Buick dealer (recommended by the family insurance man) for repair. While the Chevelle was languishing in the back lot of the dealership waiting to be repaired the original Muncie was stolen and ultimately replaced by the dealership. The Chevelle was also a victim of a hit and run in the late 70's causing the driver side rear quarter panel to be replaced at Hine Pontiac in San Diego. A rare Chevelle worth restoring with 75K original miles, original numbers matching engine and differential. The Muncie is not original and was replaced when the car was 6 months old. Unmolested engine compartment and uncut dash. Severe rust on driverside a-pillar, rust also visible at base of windshield and under stainless trim. Heavy surface rust on roof and hood. Small holes visible in the passenger side front and rear floorboards. Heavy surface rust on driver side floorboards and trunk floor. Interior in rough shape due to rodents and will need to be completely gone thru. The dash is in surprisingly good shape considering how long it sat uncovered in the back yard. Please look at pictures closely and ask questions. I just received my first negitive feedback from somebody who admitted he did not read the ad text or understand what he was buying. He then made my life miserable because a Barret-Jackson quality car did not roll off the transporter. I do value my feedback and want a happy buyer. If you have any concerns regarding the Chevelle please do not bid. Thank You!

2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray priced from $51,995*
Fri, 26 Apr 2013After months of speculation, Chevrolet has finally revealed the official starting price of the 2014 Corvette Stingray. The base MSRP for the 450-horsepower Stingray Coupe will be $51,995, while the Stingray Convertible will go for $56,995 (*both prices include a $995 destination fee). This means that the price increase from 2013 to 2014 is just $1,400 for the coupe and $2,395 for the convertible - pretty modest increases considering the upgrade in specifications. Of course, neither price accounts for the sort of dealer markup that might grace early C7 window stickers, especially since less than a third of all Chevrolet dealers will be allocated Corvette models to sell at the car's launch.
Now, these prices are for the base car, so if you're wondering how much a fully loaded Stingray will run, Chevy has given us a good indication of that as well. The coupe we saw on display at the Detroit Auto Show (shown above), for example, would run $73,360 including options such as the $2,800 Z51 Performance Package, $2,495 competition sport seats and the $1,795 Magnetic Ride Control option - just to name a few. Stepping up to the 3LT trim level that brings a full leather interior will run an extra $8,005 over the base price.
While $20,000 in options may seem like a lot, this "as-tested" price still has the C7 competitively priced against rival coupes like the Porsche 911 and Nissan GT-R. Speaking of price comparisons, Chevrolet also points out that the C7 Stingray Z51 costs $2,200 less than the C6 Grand Sport while delivering better acceleration (0-60 mph in less than four seconds) and improved track performance (including more than 1 g in cornering).
2015 Chevy Spark will have lighter, smaller battery
Thu, May 15 2014As General Motors gets ready to release the 2015 Chevy Spark EV, it is retooling the Brownstown Battery Assembly to build a new battery system for the chirpy little electric car. The new Spark will lose a few pounds and kWh from its lithium-ion pack, but it will keep all of it's performance specs. The current Spark EV uses a 21-kWh lithium-ion battery pack with bits made by A123 Systems (known as B456 Systems during bankruptcy). For the 2015 model, GM is going to build a 19-kWh battery system in-house that will use 192 LG Chem cells. Losing a bit of energy capacity means that the battery system for the 2015 Spark EV will be 86 pounds lighter but it will keep the EPA-rated 82-mile range and 119 MPGe. The 2015 Spark EV also keeps its $26,685 (plus destination) starting price from the 2014 model. The car will once again qualify for a federal tax credit of up to $7,500. LG Chem also supplies the cells for GM's other plug-in vehicles from its facility in Western Michigan. The Brownstown production line currently builds the battery packs for the Chevy Volt, the Opel Ampera and the Cadillac ELR. You can read our first drive of the 2014 Chevy Spark here. Brownstown Battery Assembly Expands Capabilities Will build battery system for 2015 Chevrolet Spark EV 2014-05-14 DETROIT – General Motors will bring all its electric vehicle battery building capabilities in-house with production of battery systems for the 2015 Chevrolet Spark EV at its battery assembly plant in Brownstown, Mich. "Using our in-house engineering and manufacturing expertise enabled us to deliver a battery system that is more efficient and lighter than the 2014 Spark EV without sacrificing range," said Larry Nitz, executive director of GM global transmission and electrification engineering. "Our successful working relationship with LG Chem has allowed us to deliver a new battery system for the Spark EV that helps us to better leverage our economies of scale." A newly designed battery system features an overall storage capacity of 19 kWh and uses 192 lithium ion cells. The cells are produced at LG Chem's plant in Holland, Mich. The battery system weight of 474 lbs. is 86 pounds lighter than the system in the 2014 Spark EV. The Spark EV battery is built on a dedicated production line at Brownstown, which also manufactures complete battery packs for the Chevrolet Volt, Opel Ampera and Cadillac ELR.
Man spent $75 on a truck that lasted 38 years
Mon, Jan 5 2015Absurd as it is, some buyers today are worried about getting their car to last throughout the term of their seven-year car loan. Minnesota resident Bob Sportel has the opposite issue: his Chevrolet truck seemingly won't die. Sportel needed a cheap ride to get to work when he took a job at a farmer's co-op 38 years ago, so he bought a rusty 1957 Chevy pickup for $75 from a farmer; at the time, the 20-year-old truck was almost as old as Bob was. After nearly four decades of daily driving and an estimated 300,000 miles, Sportel is still driving the truck today. Bolts secure a fender, Bondo secures the lights, what looks like a whole roll of duct tape keeps him sitting on the bench seat instead of in it. For a 58-year-old pickup that's never seen a garage or a new coat of paint – but did get its oil changed four times a year – that's not bad; Sportel thinks his repair bill hasn't got above $1,000 for the entire time he's owned the truck. He still has no plans to get rid of it, saying, "It just becomes a part of you." You can watch his story in the video above. News Source: KARE11.com Chevrolet Truck Classics Videos
