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.

Which electric cars can charge at a Tesla Supercharger?

Sun, Jul 9 2023

The difference between Tesla charging and non-Tesla charging. Electrify America; Tesla Tesla's advantage has long been its charging technology and Supercharger network. Now, more and more automakers are switching to Tesla's charging tech. But there are a few things non-Tesla drivers need to know about charging at a Tesla station. A lot has hit the news cycle in recent months with regard to electric car drivers and where they can and can't plug in. The key factor in all of that? Whether automakers switched to Tesla's charging standard. More car companies are shifting to Tesla's charging tech in the hopes of boosting their customers' confidence in going electric.Â Here's what it boils down to: If you currently drive a Tesla, you can keep charging at Tesla charging locations, which use the company's North American Charging Standard (NACS), which has long served it well. The chargers are thinner, more lightweight and easier to wrangle than other brands.Â If you currently drive a non-Tesla EV, you have to charge at a non-Tesla charging station like that of Electrify America or EVgo — which use the Combined Charging System (CCS) Â— unless you stumble upon a Tesla charger already equipped with the Magic Dock adapter. For years, CCS tech dominated EVs from everyone but Tesla.Â Starting next year, if you drive a non-Tesla EV (from the automakers that have announced they'll make the switch), you'll be able to charge at all Supercharger locations with an adapter. And by 2025, EVs from some automakers won't even need an adaptor.Â Here's how to charge up, depending on which EV you have:Â Ford 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E. Tim Levin/Insider Ford was the earliest traditional automaker to team up with Tesla for its charging tech. Current Ford EV owners Â— those driving a Ford electric vehicle already fitted with a CCS port Â— will be able to use a Tesla-developed adapter to access Tesla Superchargers starting in the spring. That means that, if you own a Mustang Mach-E or Ford F-150 Lightning, you will need the adapter in order to use a Tesla station come 2024. But Ford will equip its future EVs with the NACS port starting in 2025 Â— eliminating the need for any adapter. Owners of new Ford EVs will be able to pull into a Supercharger station and juice up, no problem. General Motors Cadillac Lyriq. Cadillac GM will also allow its EV drivers to plug into Tesla stations.

GM applies for LT5, LTX trademarks... are new small block variants coming?

Mon, 29 Apr 2013

Recently discovered General Motors trademark applications for LT4, LT5, LT88 and LTX have observers wondering what kind of high-performance offerings could be on their way. A new LT4 would mark a return of the engine designation first used on the Corvette Grand Sport, SLP Pontiac Firehawk and SLP Chevrolet Camaro SS from 1996 and 1997. Supposition at Corvette Forum - which provided advance intel on the C7 like these leaked images - believes a new LT4 could go into the high-performance trim of the next-gen, 2015 Camaro that would be more powerful than the 580-horsepower Camaro ZL1.
Seeing an LT5 again would also be déjà vu - in its former life it was a 5.7-liter V8 for the C4 Corvette ZR-1 from 1990-1994 designed by Lotus, producing from 370 hp to 405 hp. A mix of rumor and hope is that the new LT5 will be a supercharged evolution of the 6.2-liter LT1 (pictured) placed in the new C7 Corvette, and that it will go into the C7 version of the ZR1 pumping out something like 700 hp.
The LTX trademark is, as with that last letter, a complete mystery. If the "X" isn't a generic way to denote the whole LT family, it's wondered if it LTX could refer to a crate motor offering like the LSX.

Hot Wheels Camaro to make big debut at Indy

Fri, 05 Apr 2013

Chevrolet handed over the keys to 33 Hot Wheels Camaro Convertible Indianapolis 500 festival cars this week. Race directors get the luxury of driving the droptops around Indianapolis in an ongoing tradition with roots all the way back to the 1960s. The stunt is supposed to remind area residents that the Indy 500 is right around the corner. The cars are our first look at the special Camaro Hot Wheels Edition in convertible form, and they are slated to head to dealers after a one-time production run. The cars also represent the first time in history full-size Hot Wheels have been offered for sale by an automaker.
The cars will be available in both the previously seen coupe bodystyle and this convertible configuration, and will feature metallic blue paint and special wheels with the iconic redline accent. Buyers will be able to choose between the V6-powered 2LT trim and the V8-powered 2SS guise.
Hot Wheels says the original Custom Camaro toy was one of the original 16 1:64-scale diecasts, and it remains one of the company's most valuable collector items today.
