I am selling my 1976 Chev Malibu to a good home . Here is some history on the car. The original owner passed away and the car was put into storage on blocks for 24 years. The 2nd owner had a new gas tank, radiator, brakes, shocks, complete tune up, new battery and Radiator. They barely used the car in the time they owned it . I purchased the car 5 years ago and have taken good care of it since. I have done a few things to the car in the time I have owned it such as, New BF Goodrich T/A tires ( less than 200 miles on the tires and I have the original tires still for the car, the spare tire is original) New dual exhaust with catalytic converters, New springs, changed the a/c over to R134 and works well ( blower switch needs to be replaced as it will not blow on high setting) I have had all the fluids in the car replaced as well . The car has power steering , power brakes.

 I also have a new complete weather stripping kit as well as new hood insulation and door sill plates and a new master cylinder, deck lid and new hood ornament ( not included in the sale price ) These items I will sell for an additional price if you are interested.

More pictures are available if requested.

 I have babied this car since I have owned it and only used it for car shows. It is all original including the paint ( paint cracking, GM lacquer paint is bad for this )  . there is a little bubbling under the original vinyl and the glue is starting to show through ... the roof will need to be replaced but has no rips . The body has a few very small dents but nothing major , there is no rust on the car ! The interior is perfect ! never smoked in and the seats as well as the carpet and head liner is perfect with no rips, the dash is perfect with no cracks ! the car runs very well but the seals will need replacing at some point from age . The transmission has a leak but shifts smoothly. I have no reservations on driving this car anywhere as it runs very well. It does smoke when you first start it but it does NOT BURN OIL !  ( I was told by a mechanic I need to replace the valve stem seals or the car just needs a good run from sitting all the time. I don't have the time to work on or fully enjoy this car and it just sits in the garage 99% of the time. I have an appraisal which values the car at 8000.00 before I had the new tires and dual exhaust added.

2014 Chevrolet C7 Corvette wastes no time zooming into Jay Leno's Garage

Thu, 24 Jan 2013

Where else would you expect the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray to show up first? Although this time it isn't exactly in Jay Leno's Garage, Leno instead playing an away game at Brown's Classic Auto in Scottsdale, Arizona. Nor does Leno drive the car, instead taking an 11-minute walkaround of the new American sports car with General Motors design head Ed Welburn, the same man who recently brought by a string of classic Corvettes to the talk show host's California compound.
It is, admittedly, a love-fest for the American sports car now featuring 450 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque, but one that also features admissions about previous Corvette seats like "they were kinda rough," and the explanation that labeling the coupe "Stingray" means not having to call it "the base Corvette." On top of that, Welburn also explains the proper application of the term "dashboard." You can watch it all in the video below.

Artist imagines eerie world where cars have no wheels

Thu, 24 Jan 2013

The wheel ranks right up there with the telescope and four-slice toaster in the pantheon of inventions that have moved humankind forward. But what if a circle in three dimensions had never occurred to anyone, and we all had just moved on without it? Perhaps we'd be driving around in Lucas Motors Landspeeders with anti-gravity engines. Or maybe we'd have the same cars we do today, just without wheels.
That's the thought experiment that seems to have led French photographer Renaud Marion to create his six-image series called Air Drive. The shots depict cars throughout many eras of motoring that look normal except for one thing: they have no wheels. The models used include a Jaguar XK120, Cadillac DeVille (shown above), Chevrolet El Camino and Camaro, and Mercedes-Benz SL and 300 roadsters.
Perhaps one day when our future becomes our past, you'll be able to walk the street and see with your own eyes the rust and patina of age on our nation's fleet of floating cars. Until then, Monsieur Marion's photographs will have to do.

Indian tuner turns Chevy Optra into Mustang 'Eleanor' replica

Fri, 03 Aug 2012

If you are a big fan of automotive oddities, this may come as a little treat. If you are a Shelby or Mustang diehard, prepare to have your sensibilities violated.
The master fabricators at BigDaddyCustoms are the minds behind what you see above. At first, it appears to be a slightly misshapen custom Mustang, modeled after "Eleanor" from Gone In 60 Seconds, but upon further examination, something appears to be amiss. In fact, the custom shop, based in India, has created an Eleanor replica grafted upon a lowly Chevrolet Optra. While it may take a second for the Optra to ring a bell, you should recognize its badge-engineered sibling, the Daewoo Lacetti, used on Top Gear.
We don't know what star would opt for the Reasonably Priced Car in Shelby's clothing, but it's clearly someone more concerned with the aesthetic than the performance credentials of this automotive mash-up.
