See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Minor cosmetic body defects including small rust near wheel wells, and minor unrepaired dents, notably along passenger side and on rear passenger faring next to the trunk. Interior shows its age. Rear end and brakes need service, and speedometer is non-functional."

1970 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu. This is a classic example of a highly sought icon for American Muscle. Largely unrestored, this car is ready for your body off resto, or a weekend in your garage to transform into the street and strip monster you always wanted. Not sure which direction you want to go yet? That's fine, she's ready for a weekend cruise to the beach or casual Friday at the office and is guaranteed to turn heads along the way.

She has a few dings and scratches, and the interior and exterior are in need of a cosmetic overhaul. This is not a restored, show ready car, and definitely not a track ready racer. It is a 43 year old daily driver, and while it is largely reliable, it does show some signs of its age.

Outside are some minor rust issues near the lower sections of the fender, small dents around the passenger side door, and a dent in the rear passenger faring near the trunk, and plastic trim around the taillights is beginning to break down. However, the body and frame are still solid.

Original front and rear benches, torn headliner, and the dash pad is cracked. The dash is original, including the gauges, and shows signs of age. The driver side door panel is worn, but intact. The rest of the interior is complete and assembled, the windows functional, heater and defroster blow hot air when you're ready for it, thanks to a brand new heater core and hoses; the ducts are clean, but aged, and the vents and pull knobs need repair or replacing. Currently there is no radio or stereo, but the wiring harness is in place and brand new, and ready for install.

In fact, the entire car has a brand new, custom wiring harness, complete with modern blade type fuse box installed in March 2013 by Hot Rods Speed & Custom of Norco, CA. The car is wired for a tach, which is currently not integrated in the dash. Also included are gauges for Voltage, Water Temp, Oil PSI, and Transmission Temp. They also included a basic wire set up to install a new stereo. Currently there is not a stereo installed in the car, nor is one included.

The motor is a crate GM 350 HO, Part #12366576, built 1979, currently believed to have approximately 260,000 miles, and still running strong. It has a brand new fuel lines, fuel pump, water pump, radiator starter, solenoid, alternator, and ignition, all installed this year. Brand new spark plugs and wires installed August 2013, and less than 100 miles driven. An Edelbrock 1407 Performer Carburetor sits on the manifold, topped off with a K&N High Flow air cleaner. Exhaust is routed through a pair of Patriot Shorty headers, into an Hpipe configuration, and exits a pair of Flowmaster 50's just in front of the rear axle with the crisp, distinctive rumble of V8 muscle; all courtesy of Scotty's Muffler in San Bernardino, CA. This car sounds mean, in the best of ways, and has the legs to match.

The Transmission is a 700R4 built to street and strip specs by Hubbe's Performance of Corona, CA and installed in August of 2012. It is guaranteed by Hubbe himself to hold together for up to 1000 HP, and thanks to an electronic lockup with a manual switch, cruising down the 5 freeway to San Diego at 85 mph is nearly effortless at a paltry 2000 RPM....with plenty of grunt to push it beyond 120. Not that I would know, of course.

Taking off at red lights is a blast, too, with tire chirping, snappy shifts from 1st to 2nd, and again from 2nd to 3rd, and all this is controlled with a bump of your wrist on the floor mounted B&M Quicksilver, that functions equally well as you ratchet through the gears manually or put it in drive and let it shift itself.

This tire spinning torque is contained by a CPP complete11" Front disc kit, installed with new front end and bushings in June 2005, and ball joints replaced in November 2012. The rear is still stopped with the drums, which will require attention before you hop on the freeway for a cruise, and sadly, so will the 336 10 bolt Posi rear end built and installed in Sept 2000 by The Gear Man in Garden Grove, CA.

She is supported by brand new shocks in the front and rear, and currently has air lines installed with the valve in the trunk if you choose to go back to an air ride system. She's got a full set of Rallye wheels with beauty rings and knock-off bowtie hubcaps; a brand new set of Nitto NT555R's in the back less than 6 months and 5,000 miles old, and a pair of Futura passenger car tires up front, approximately a year old with about 8,000 miles.

Included is paperwork, service records, and several manuals dating back at least 15 years, the GM spec book, and a Hollander's. Also included in the price are a pair of original Buckets that I had restored in leather and suede by Earl's of San Bernardino, valued at $1200.00.

This car is sold as is, with no warranty. While every reasonable effort is made to ensure the accuracy of the above information, any errors or omissions are unintentional. The buyer is responsible to verify any information in question with the seller.

Upon successful auction close, the buyer will assume full responsibility for this car, to include shipping; however, I will help and cooperate as much as I able to help you your dream car come home. I will require $500.00 USD of the purchase price upon auction close, and the remainder within 7 business days.

Watch the National Corvette Museum sinkhole being filled in by R/C cars

Sun, Jan 11 2015

Okay, so not exactly cars, but Bobcats - but still quite cool. You might remember that the National Corvette Museum had that little divot that needed to be filled in. Turns out the construction firm of Scott, Murphy & Daniel doing the work is using two remote-controlled Bobcats to fill the sinkhole with "manufactured sand," which in this case is crushed limestone. It appears that the Bobcat company has offered remote operation since at least 2007 via a wireless transmitter that works up to 1,500 feet away. So yes, that means two SMD employees stand on the edge of the pit and flick joystick levers for hours at a time, one in charge of a Bobcat with a roller-compactor attachment, the other in charge of a Bobcat with a bucket. And that, to us, is a pretty good way to earn the daily bread. Check out the video above for the latest sinkhole update.

Next Chevrolet Malibu to have 'groundbreaking,' 'passionate' design

Mon, Dec 29 2014

In our First Drive of the Chevrolet Malibu after its redesign in 2013 we wrote, "Chevy has quickly worked up a host of changes for its ever-important midsize sedan, and will be launching this 'there, we fixed it' 2014 Malibu like it's an all-new product." Still, no one cared. The Malibu has been mentioned in eight posts this year, all but two of them dealt with recalls, and one of those two was about a 2011 Malibu university science project. It came up in precisely zero posts from November 2013 to March 2014. That's why, according to a report in Automotive News, Chevrolet honchos are "hustling" to have a new Malibu ready in a year. Mark Reuss, General Motors' head of global product development, said it will have "groundbreaking design" and "groundbreaking technology," and asked investors who were showed a picture of it, "When is the last time you saw a [midsize] car this distinctive and this dramatic from General Motors?" Doubling down on the bullishness, Reuss said, "We've got our act together here on the midsize-car segment." Then, throwing every last chip on the pile, global design head Ed Welburn said the next Malibu's design will "make a significant statement" with "a very passionate design." Based on the number of comments Malibu posts get, we figure a fair few number of you would love for this to be the case; yet this is a lot of braggadocio to slather on a car that probably hasn't made "a significant statement" since Elton John had a number one record with Honky Chateau. That was 1972, if you're trying to remember. No matter the looks, the AN report says the new 'Bu will make a profit statement, selling for more money while costing less to produce. Alongside the Cruze, GM figures the pair will bring in an extra $800 million in variable profit in 2016. Which, in case it ends up being another 'butterface,' isn't bad for a silver lining.
