Up for sale is this 1971 Malibu Convertible. I purchased this car in 1997 and have enjoyed it over the past 16 years as a great driver for trips to the beach and
car shows. The car was in good driver condition when I purchased it with a fresh engine and transmission. Over the years the car has received several improvements
such as a new paint job in base coat clear coat and during that time the floor boards were inspected and a new passenger side front was replaced with Goodmark
sheetmetal. The rest of the floorboards appear to be factory and in good shape. I also added new dual exhaust with flowmaster two chamber mufflers,
all new front suspension and conversion to disc brakes, new cloth top with glass rear window, CD player with amp, 12" sub woofer, CD changer,
and four speakers, new chrome bumpers and trim, MSD ignition with HEI distributor, Edelbrock performer manifold and 4bbl carb. Recent improvements include new A/C compressor, receiver/dryer and thermal expansion valve and system was converted to R134. Blows cold and nice. I also changed the wheels to Torque Thrust D's 15 x 7's with brand new BF Goodrich Radial T/A's size P255/60R15 for the rear and P245/60R15 for the front. The tires are new and have less than 200 miles on them. Battery is new as is the Master cyl.
Car is in excellent mechanical condition. All gauges, lights, turn signals, idiot lights, horn, wipers, A/C, Power brakes, charging system, P/S, work excellent. Only thing that doesn't
work is the dash clock. The car starts and runs smooth, the choke works exactly as it should. Trans shifts firmly with no lag at all. Steering and handling characteristics are
fine. The brakes are excellent and in fairly new condition. The disc brakes are a huge improvement over the drums and the car stops straight.
The paint and body are in good driver quality condition. The paint was done in 2002 and the car has been stored inside for most of the time since then, though it has
spent some years outside. Some chips are there, there is a half dollar sized bubble in front of the drivers side rear wheel and a very small rust spot at the trailing
edge of the drivers quarter. Hood has a medium sized chip with delamentation of the clear coat. Passenger side door jamb has some cracked and missing paint in a small
area.
All in all the body and paint are very presentable and shows well. but please remember this is a 11 year old paint job that has seen some weather and highway use.
The interior appears to be the original and I haven't really done anything to it. There are no tears or rips in the upholstery, the carpet shows well, and there are
no cracks in the dash pad. Over all the interior is decent, simply appears a bit worn due to it's age. The convertible top is excellent. It raises and lowers with no issues
no leaks in the hydraulic system. The cloth top is very nice and looks good as does the rear glass window.
All of the pictures shown were taken either this past week or within the last year.

Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee teases return with a Countach
Fri, May 29 2015Unless you have an intense aversion to Jerry Seinfeld, it's hard not to find something to like about his show Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. After all, the series combines funny people telling often hilarious stories while riding in ridiculously cool vehicles. The trailer for the sixth season is now online, and based on this tease, this definitely looks worth watching no matter what part of the videos interest you. Of course, it's the automotive portion that really grabs us, and Seinfeld has quite a fleet to showcase for season six. The trailer shows off a Lamborghini Countach, a '57 Chevrolet Bel Air convertible, a classic Volkswagen Beetle in the green and white German Polizei livery, a Morgan, an Aston Martin DB5, and a Ferrari 308. On the more humorous side of things, the guest list at least includes Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Jim Carrey, Steve Harvey, Stephen Colbert, Bill Maher and upcoming host of The Daily Show Trevor Noah. Season six of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee premieres on Crackle on Wednesday, June 3, at 11:30 PM ET.
GM recalls Cadillac ATS and Chevy Impala for separate issues
Fri, Feb 27 2015The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration added two recalls from General Motors in the government organization's daily update of safety campaigns. Both were for failing to meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards but for completely separate reasons. The larger recall covers 58,698 units of the 2013-2015 Cadillac ATS, but it doesn't really carry huge safety concerns. In vehicles produced between April 25, 2012, and February 9, 2015, the controls for the tilt and slide of the moonroof are not recessed enough, as required by federal law. According to NHTSA, it's possible that someone could inadvertently activate the auto-close for the roof panel, which the agency claims increases "the risk of personal injury." Dealers will install a new trim plate that will add the necessary clearance. The other campaign covers 1,177 examples of the 2014 Chevrolet Impala from between November 15, 2012, and May 27, 2014. However, this is actually a repeat of a previous recall on the Chevy and the Cadillac XTS from 2014. The affected Impalas here "were remedied incorrectly" under the earlier campaign, according to NHTSA. On these sedans, it's possible the electronic parking brake might not fully disengage and still remain in some contact with the rotor, which is in violation of federal rules. The fault can cause excessive heat from the brakes that could potentially lead to a fire, according to NHTSA. To fix the problem, dealers will reprogram the electronic parking brake control module.

In the affected vehicles, the power-operated roof panels auto-close when the non-recessed "Slide" or "Tilt" switches are pressed. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) No.
2014 Chevrolet SS makes its live debut
Sat, 16 Feb 2013Chevrolet showed off the new 2014 SS in an airport hangar last night, its first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan in the US since the Impala SS from 1997. We'll have more to say about the SS later today, but this is the sedan that Chevrolet sees as the final piece in restoring its performance credentials. For those of you looking for a manual transmission, however, that wish will go unfulfilled - at least for now: the only two options buyers will have are the color and whether or not they want a sunroof.
We'll work on getting some more angles (in better light) today at Daytona International Speedway, but with fans seeing the car for the first time, we don't hold out much luck of getting a clear shot. So for now, enjoy the high-res gallery above.
