Selling 1975 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu Classic Coupe, fully functional and in good working order. The car has just under 158,000 miles on it, with approximately half of these being highway miles I drove mostly in commuting to work between eastern Pennsylvania and New York City. As I have since retired, I no longer need the vehicle and am thus reluctantly selling it. It is my hope that the eventual purchaser will enjoy it as much as I have, either as a daily driver or as a restoration project. The good: This is a spacious car that handles and rides with a soft suspension experience that is hard to rival (I find its ride more comfortable than similar era Cadillac limousines I once drove). Because of its solidity and weight, its cushioned bench seating that truly accommodates six people comfortably, and its powered mechanical features (including its 350-hp V-8 engine), this vehicle is a pleasure to drive in a manner with which today's cars can hardly compete. Despite these size, weight, and suspension characteristics, it handles well in evasive maneuvers, something I unfortunately have had experience with in dodging the ever-prevalent deer and wildlife in my neck of the woods. Beyond my commuting, I have most enjoyably driven the car on long road trips (e.g., from Pennsylvania to Atlanta and back), and I would not hesitate to do so with it now. The air conditioning system I updated a few years back with new, more efficient than OEM equipment, and it works beautifully. The interior is in very good shape. The tires were replaced as a set a couple of years ago and still have significant tread life. I have a couple of extra spare tires (not on rims) which will go with the car. The bad: While in very good mechanical shape for a car of its age, the inevitable rust factor is present; most significantly from an appearance but not operational perspective (see pictures). There are rusted-through portions of a few inches square only at each front fender, and some rusting at the rear fenders which has not similarly broken through. A couple of years back, I had an accident at highway speed in which a deer leaped from the woods and was caught in midair at the center grill, directly between the headlights. As the police noted, the design of the car almost certainly saved my life: its solidity and flat front meant the animal was tossed aside into the opposing lane of traffic (where thankfully no one was), whereas a modern car with a sloped aerodynamic hood would have driven the animal into me through the windshield. The damage: the cast-iron front grill was smashed to smithereens (since replaced with an original OEM grill, as pictured); the frame piece above it was bent (straightened somewhat, as pictured); and the radiator needed replacement. There was no impact on the car's ride, operation, or handling. A minor collision had with the front bumper before I owned the car caused the side bumper edge to be slightly pushed inward, a cosmetic concern only and hardly noticeable. The V-8 engine provides significant power and smooth acceleration in a way that today's smaller ones tend not to, but does burn and leak a moderate amount of oil (usually a quart every five thousand miles, more if hard driving is at issue). The car averages about 15 miles per gallon, highway driving, of regular gas. The vinyl roof, as pictured, is in need of replacement. Minor points: The OEM AM radio system does not work (I believe the speakers are bad); and the seat belt reminder buzzer is stuck on (a simple repair would be to disconnect its relay). As the car has not been driven for about seven months (although I have started it up each month without difficulty and driven it a block or so each time), it needs a good exterior and interior cleaning. I am not a mechanic and have tried to accurately and fairly describe the car's condition. I am happy to provide more pictures and/or information as requested. The prior owner of the car is my mechanic, who is a Shelby race car driver for the past forty years and recently retired from his own automotive repair business in Queens, New York. He has maintained the car for me since my purchase of it from him, had owned it for many years before me (he was the second owner), and is willing to discuss its condition with any interested party. Because the car is no longer registered or insured, it cannot be test driven, although it may be inspected by appointment. Delivery will be from my home, after sale and transfer of title. Car is being sold as is, with a clear title and no warranty. Payment by cashier's check, multiple postal money orders, or cash preferred. |

Jay Leno gets pulled over while roaring in a Corvette Z06 convertible
Tue, Jan 6 2015No one is above the law, even if that person is a certain silver-haired auto enthusiast with a popular weekly video series about the cars in his garage. This week, Jay Leno experiences the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Z06, but he also gets to have a meeting with some of California's Finest immediately after a high-speed blast. As opposed to the full-bore Z06 coupe with the seven-speed manual, Leno gets behind the wheel of the slightly heavier convertible version with the eight-speed auto. Being a droptop doesn't bother him too much, but Leno makes it obvious he wishes that he could be shifting for himself. Even if the auto is technically quicker, Leno says that swapping gears gives him something to do while driving. Of course, one of the major advantages of the convertible is the ability to listen to the Z06's thumping V8 unimpeded. With 650 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque from 6.2-liters of supercharged muscle, it already puts down impressive numbers, but the sound might just be the best part of all. Around town, the 'Vette is quiet enough to easily blend in with the rest of traffic. However, tip the throttle down and the valves in the exhaust open up to turn the engine into roaring monster. Be careful where you make this thing howl, though, because it's pretty easy for the police to take notice. The host finds that out the hard way in this week's episode of Jay Leno's Garage.

GM investing $439 million in Corvette plant
Fri, May 22 2015General Motors is slowly trickling out announcements about its $5.4 billion in US plant upgrades over the next three years. The latest one is something that fans of one of America's most beloved sports car will be happy about. The Bowling Green, KY, factory that assembles the Chevrolet Corvette is receiving $439 million of those funds to build a new paint shop. Covering 450,000 square-feet, the site will make painting the 'Vette more efficient and environmentally friendly. The upgrades there include robots that use paint more effectively, technology to eliminate sludge water, LED lighting to improve inspections, and less energy-intensive baking ovens. While the groundbreaking is already complete for the building, full construction is expected to begin this summer and take two years. This is the biggest upgrade for the Kentucky factory in a few years. In preparation for the latest Corvette, the Bowling Green plant received $131 million in 2011 for upgrades and to add more workers there. Related Video: Chevrolet Corvette Plant Gets $439 Million in Upgrades New, environment-friendly paint shop drives efficient production, retains 150 jobs 2015-05-21 BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – Torch Red, Shark Gray Metallic and Laguna Blue Tintcoat, three popular palate choices on the 2015 Corvette, kept the marketers who make up names working late. Now they can dream about more painstakingly precise pigments, thanks to a new paint shop that is among $439 million being invested at the only plant in the world that builds Chevrolet's iconic sports car. General Motors announced the moves today that include retaining 150 jobs and building the 450,000 square-foot paint shop that is almost half the size of the entire current production facility. The investment builds on approximately $135 million GM has invested in the plant over the last four years for the new Corvette Stingray and Performance Build Center. The announcement was followed by a groundbreaking event for the new paint shop. "The Corvette is one of Kentucky's most-cherished icons," said. Lt. Gov. Crit Luallen. "Such a significant expansion of the Bowling Green Assembly Plant will help the company remain competitive in the region and around the world." Construction of the new paint shop, which includes substantial technology upgrades, is planned to begin this summer and take approximately two years to complete. Corvette production schedules will be unaffected by the construction.
Man surprises girlfriend with C7 Corvette
Mon, 07 Oct 2013How would you react if someone just showed up at your place of work with a new, 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, complete with all the trimmings? While a lot of us would likely be flipping out over the still rare sports car, it's a fair bet many more of us would be responding like Pattie here, whose boyfriend stopped by her work to show her her new C7.
Speechless and shocked as she seems, she does end up taking it out for a drive, despite claiming she wasn't really outfitted to handle the car's seven-speed manual transmission at the time. From the sound of the video, we got the impression that she knew the car was coming, just not that it was anywhere near ready for delivery. It also, as Pattie says, seems like her boyfriend is more excited about the car than she (which, can we blame him?). Take a look down below for the full video of this C7 Stingray delivery.
