All numbers match.. never been cut up , misused, or modified in any way.. Everything works...Everything opens ,closes and locks.. One owner with 90k original miles...Garage kept all its life... Here's the story,,, This was my parents car that they bought new in 1972 at Luci Chevrolet in Vineland N.J.... It was ordered by me ( remember when you could order a car exactly how you wanted ? ) for them with minimal options.. I couldn't talk them into air condition because it cost about $250. more but I did get them to go for the tinted windows at $39. ..Cost new with options, power glide trans $169. power steering $100. body molding $33. AM radio $65. Vinyl roof $82. full wheel covers $26. W/W tires $28. vinyl interior $18. Tinted glass $39. undercoating was free.. .Total cost of $3,003 .. I have all original books, manual, emission control book, Chev. consumer info book, seat belt info book, finance contract from the bank, insurance paper and dealer order sheet from 1972...My parents both have been gone for many years... It was maintained religiously including in the garage washing in the middle of winter time with a bucket of water...At about 85 years old my mother ran into a car on the drivers side front fender.. Hood was not touched...From that time on the car sat in her garage as is because she was then afraid to drive.. She turned it over to my oldest son right before she died .. It sat in his garage for years as is until he needed the room for his new car.. I took possession of it a couple years ago.. I bought another '72 Nova and used the fender and grill parts to put it back together ( I have the side molding for that fender ).. Also put in a new radiator and gas tank .. It runs great and goes down the road nicely.. It is registered, titled, insured and on the road legally as an antique in my name.. The paint is mostly original but over the years my parents did have parts painted to fix scratches and dings but all matches and looks pretty good....There are some dull spots and some very minor surface rust spots that will probably buff off with a polishing compound.... About 30 years ago someone bumped it in the back and bent the rear bumper and the metal behind it.. It did not affect the trunk or the light... Tires are about 30 years old but hold air and have tread... Brakes feel good with no issue but have been on the car for about 25 years .. Muffler sounds like it is rusting.. There is rust behind the front and back wheels but floors are great and trunk still has the original speckled paint and jacking instructions.. I had plans of restoring it for sentimental reasons but my retirement and a Florida home have changed my priorities .. I very rarely run it other than a down the road and back about every few weeks... The last time I drove it it acted like it had cruise control.. Everything was perfect until I let off the gas and then it stayed at the speed I was going.. To slow it down I had to brake it or put it in neutral.. When you put it in neutral at highway speed it comes down to an idle so its easier to stop that way considering these old drum brakes on it.. That problem just started and I was told the kick down linkage may be rusty and sticking ... It will cruise up to 50 MPH ( thats about the fastest its ever been ) with no issue...Due to this cruise control like problem I do not feel comfortable allowing a potential buyer to test drive it.. I will test drive it for you for safety and my personal responsibility.. I think you will be convinced that this car is what I say and my honesty and integrity will not be compromised to sell it... Money is not an issue, its just that I don't want this car to sit and rust away when someone can give it a good home... Please check my feedback.. I'm proud of my 100%... Any question about this vehicle please e-mail me... I am not a professional mechanic or body work guy... All of what I describe is my own opinion or what someone has told me...I welcome you or your mechanic to inspect it.....If you win it and you can show me it is not as I described , you don't have to buy it when you come to pick it up, but please don't nit pick this 42 year old car because you changed your mind before even looking at it.. If your buying and transferring title without an inspection , the deal is over and it is your car... I don't think that I can be any more fair than that... I'm sure there are small things that I look at everyday on it that I just don't see because I've been looking at it for over 40 years ( kind of like you don't notice how gray you and your wife have gotten until you look at your old wedding picture,,, sorry honey ! ) ,, but please know I am not misleading you to unload a piece of junk !!!!!! If you purchase my car I want a $300. paypal deposit within 24 hours of the end of auction and the rest can either be 1 of 2 ways... a wire transfer to my bank or cash in hand... I will not accept any check of any kind for all or any part of the deal.... thanks for your consideration !!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.
EcoCar2 is on the hunt for a better, cleaner Chevy Malibu [w/video]
Thu, Jun 12 2014The students spent three years transforming an ordinary Chevy Malibu into a revolutionary vehicle. Not far from the building where General Motors once invented the Chevy Volt, a dozen or so college students are standing on the blacktop alongside a test track, watching a professional driver push the limits of a plug-in hybrid car they've built that's far more radical. These students, from Colorado State University, have spent the past three years transforming an ordinary Chevy Malibu into a revolutionary vehicle. At first glance, it still looks like a regular sedan. But under the hood, they've installed a hybrid powertrain that contains both hydrogen and electric power sources. Even by the standards of the Department of Energy competition they're participating in, it's an outlier. That's exactly what they had in mind. "We didn't want to come here and tell them how to build a better Volt," said Tom Bradley, faculty adviser for the Colorado State team. "They already know how to do that. We can tell them how to think about these possibilities in a whole new way." After three years of work, it all comes down to this. The Colorado State team was one of 15 that came to GM's Milford Proving Grounds last week for the final stretch of the EcoCar2 competition, which challenges regular college students who have no automotive experience to do nothing less than reinvent the American car. The teams have come from across North America, and include schools like Ohio State and Virginia Tech that have a long history of participating in similar competitions, and schools like the University of Washington and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University that are here for the first time. After three years of work, it all comes down to this. The teams have operated 24 hours a day for almost two weeks here at the Proving Grounds, running a gamut of tests that include a 310-point safety inspection, emissions and energy-consumption tests and road tests, in which professional GM drivers ensure they're road worthy. The winning team will be announced tonight in Washington D.C. Revolutionary cars, ordinary package While other green-car competitions encourage extreme designs, this one comes with a somewhat constraining twist: Yes, students must improve fuel economy and reduce emissions, but in the end, they still have to have a car that would appeal to mainstream customers. In practical terms, that means they must keep conveniences like air conditioning and trunk space.
GM recalls 8,500 Chevrolet Malibu models for rear suspension glitch
Mon, 04 Feb 2013According to a letter from General Motors to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, flaws in the build process of the 2013 Chevrolet Malibu have led to the recall of 8,519 cars. Units built between December 6, 2011 and January 15, 2013 may have been assembled with rear suspension cradles that had insufficient torque applied to certain bolts. That out-of-spec assembly could lead to issues ranging from slight noises to a loss of vehicle control.
The problem was first noticed in December of last year by a GM test fleet driver and eventually tracked back to the improperly torqued bolts on the suspension cradle assembled through July 2012 by a supplier located not too far from the Malibu's Detroit/Hamtramck Assembly Plant. Since an official NHTSA recall notice has not been issued yet, it isn't clear whether or not Detroit-built Malibus were the only ones affected (the 2013 Malibu is also built at GM's Fairfax Assembly Plant in Kansas City, Kansas). Dealers will fix the problem by inspecting vehicles for proper torque specs, retightening if not within specs and, in some cases, perform a rear-wheel alignment.
