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!

Nissan Leaf ends 2013 with best sales month ever, but can't catch Chevy Volt
Fri, Jan 3 2014Nissan and Chevrolet both ended 2013 with solid sales figures for their plug-in vehicles, the first two that were released (all the way back at the end of 2010) from major automakers. As has been the story for most of 2013, December sales for the Nissan Leaf and the Chevy Volt were roughly the same. When we left the year-to-date running tally at the end of November, the Volt was at 20,702, while the Leaf was at 20,080. As you can tell from the image above (if you've been noticing the trend in these EV sales monthly flash-reports), the Leaf outsold the Volt, but was it enough to put the Nissan on top for the year? In 2013, Nissan sold 22,610 Leafs, more than twice as many as in 2012. Almost. The Leaf made a valiant attempt, and did have its best month ever with 2,529 units sold. That means that for 2013, Nissan moved a total of 22,610 Leafs, more than twice as many as in 2012 (that year, Nissan sold only 9,819 Leafs in the US) and actually more than 2012 and 2011 Leaf sales combined (which was 19,493). Nissan continues to see the effects of its price drop and expanded sales areas, with Georgia rapidly becoming a Leaf hotbed. Nissan's Paige Presley said that Atlanta was once again the Leaf's number one market and that, "sales are expanding deeper into Georgia markets such as Macon and Columbus." The Volt saw a boost upwards from a November slump and sold 2,392 units in December. That puts the plug-in hybrid's annual total at 23,094, just down from the 23,461 sold in 2012. For all of 2013, though, the Volt outsold the Leaf by 484 vehicles. In a competition like this, we'll count that as a win for both sides. We will our more detailed monthly green car sales report, which covers more of the fuel efficient vehicles on the market, up soon.

Detroit 3 to implement delayed unified towing standards for 2015
Tue, Feb 11 2014Car buyers have a responsibility to be well-informed consumers. That's not always a very simple task, but some guidelines are self-evident. If you live in a very snowy climate, you generally know a Ford Mustang or Chevrolet Camaro might not be as viable a vehicle choice as an all-wheel drive Explorer or Traverse, for example. If you want a fuel-efficient car, it's generally a good idea to know the difference between a diesel and a hybrid. But what if it's kind of tough to be an informed consumer? What if the information you need is more difficult to come by, or worse, based on different standards for each vehicle? Well, in that case, you might be a truck shopper. For years, customers of light-duty pickups have had to suffer through different ratings of towing capacities for each brand. For 2015 model year trucks, though, that will no longer be a problem. According to Automotive News, General Motors, Ford and Chrysler Group have announced that starting with next year's models, a common standard will be used to measure towing capacity. The Detroit Three will join Toyota, which adopted the Society of Automotive Engineers' so-called SAE J2807 standards way back in 2011. The standard was originally supposed to be in place for MY2013, but concerns that it would lower the overall stated capacity for trucks led Detroit automakers to pass. Ford originally passed, claiming it'd wait until its new F-150 was launched to adopt the new standards, leading GM and Ram to follow suit. Nissan, meanwhile, has said it will adopt the new standards as its vehicles are updated, meaning the company's next-generation Titan should adhere to the same tow ratings as its competitors. While the adoption of SAE J2807 will be helpful for light-duty customers, those interested in bigger trucks will still be left with differing standards. There is no sign of the new tow standards being adopted for the heavy-duty market.
Veyron and C7 Corvette join cast of Transformers 4
Wed, 29 May 2013Like the Fast & Furious franchise, the Michael Bay-directed series of Transformers movies has become known as much for its bad acting as its impressive lineup of cars. As filming just started for Transformers 4, Bay's website has confirmed two new cars for the next installment as well as a makeover for everyone's favorite tractor trailer hero, Optimus Prime.
Joining the cast of T4 are a "race-inspired" Chevrolet Corvette Stingray and a Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse. While Bay's website did not supply names for either car, Bugatti is reporting on its Facebook page that the Veyron will join the Autobots. Speaking of the good guys, top Autobot Optimus Prime is getting an all-new body based on a Western Star with a gaudy appearance that was seemingly inspired by Trick My Truck - right down to the six smoke stacks and side pipes!
