1964 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu Ss, Custom Show Car! Less Than 1k Miles On Engine on 2040-cars
THIS LISTING IS FOR A 1964 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu SS Coupe. I got this car as a 16th birthday present but it didn't look or run anything like it does now! Im 31 yrs old now so I have had it for 15 + years. my computer froze while i was doing the listing so i apologize if the description is all jumbled up. BUT AS I WAS SAYING , I'VE HAD THIS CAR FOR 15 YEARS. I USED TO DRIVE IT FAIRLY OFTEN WHEN I WAS YOUNGER BUT I PUT A BRAND NEW ENGINE IN AT LEAST 8 YEARS AGO AND HAVE ONLY PUT ABOUT A THOUSAND MILES ON IT, SO THAT SHOULD TELL YOU HOW MUCH I DRIVE IT. THIS CAR UNDER WENT A $6000 TOTAL BODYWORK OVERHAUL, THEN A $9500 PAINT JOB. ALL OF THE GRAPHICS THAT YOU SEE ARE ALL HAND PAINTED! THEY ARE NOT VINYL GRAPHICS! HAS 20" RIMS IN REAR WITH 18" RIMS IN FRONT. NITTO TIRES WITH NEARLY ALL TREAD LEFT. THE MOTOR IS A 350/350. THE ONLY THING I REALLY DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE CAR IS THE GEAR RATIO IN THE REAR. I CAN CRUISE AT 70 MPH WITHOUT HAVING RPMS THAT HIGH. NEVER RACED OR BEAT ON THIS CAR( SO NO, I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT WOULD DO IN THE QUARTER MILE OR ITS TOP SPEED) BUT I CAN TELL YOU IT IS A VERY LIGHT CAR WITH A LOT OF POWER. FULLY TINTED, ALL FOUR WINDOWS ROLL DOWN COMPLETELY TO GIVE IT THAT REALLY NICE COUPE LOOK. GREAT IN THE SUMMER FOR AIR FLOW. DOES NOT HAVE A.C, POWER WINDOWS, POWER STEERING, OR POWER BRAKES ( NEVER REALLY FELT THE NEED AND IT DOES ADD A LOT OF WEIGHT, HANDLES GREAT WITHOUT IT) THE INTERIOR IS IN GREAT SHAPE. CENTER PIECE COULD USE A NEW PAINT JOB OR A CUSTOM PIECE BUILT AROUND THE SHIFTER WOULD REALLY LOOK NICE. HAS ORIGINAL BENCH SEAT IN REAR. HAS CORBIAU RACING SEATS (ADJUSTABLE) IN FRONT WITH 5 POINT RACING HARNESS. THE CD PLAYER THAT YOU SEE INSTALLED DOES NOT WORK BUT A BRAND NEW PIONEER HEAD UNIT IN THE BOX, (IN PIC) IS INCLUDED. ALSO A SET OF NEW DOOR SPEAKERS IS INCLUDED, AND A PAIR OF PIONEER 6X9 SPEAKERS THAT I HAD MOUNTED ON BACK WINDOW SILL ARE ALSO INCLUDED. (WHICH I MEANT TO COUNTERSINK INTO WINDOW SILL, BUT NEVER HAD TIME) HAS AN AFTERMARKET STEERING WHEEL AND PEDAL COVERS. I ALSO HAVE A BRAND NEW SET OF DOOR HANDLES WHICH ARE INCLUDED BUT NOT INSTALLED. THE BUMPERS WERE RE-CHROMED A FEW YEARS AGO AND LOOK GREAT! ALL WINDOW TRIM AND RUBBER IS IN GOOD SHAPE. THE TRUNK IS WHERE THE SPEAKER BOX IS MOUNTED ( 2 10" SPEAKERS WITH AMPLIFIER) ABOUT A YEAR AGO I STRIPPED OUT ALL THE OLD CARPET AND PREPPED THE TRUNK FOR A FULL OVER HAUL BUT NEVER FINISHED IT. I HAVE A ROLL OF BLACK CARPET AND EVEN A NEW ROLL OF DYNAMAT BRAND SOUND BARRIER MATTING, WHICH IS INCLUDED. THE CAR RUNS AND DRIVES GREAT. HAS DRUM BRAKES IN REAR AND DISC IN FRONT. WITH A FEW HOURS OF WORK THE CAR WOULD BE COMPLETELY FINISHED! JUST DON'T HAVE THE TIME TO DO IT, LET ALONE DRIVE IT, WHICH IS THE FUN PART!!! AND EVEN WITH THE THINGS THAT AREN'T DONE BOTH CAR SHOWS I ENTERED I WON FIRST PLACE ! IN BOTH! DON'T MISS THIS ONE!!! SINCE THIS CAR IS OVER 50 YEARS OLD INSURANCE IS RIDICULOUS CHEAP. CAR IS SOLD AS IS WITH NO WARRANTY. IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE MORE PICTURES PLEASE JUST ASK. |

Recharge Wrap-up: Indianapolis to switch 425 fleet vehicles to EVs, Chevy Corvette provides bat habitats
Tue, Nov 4 2014Indianapolis will deploy 425 battery electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles as part of its municipal fleet by 2016. The fleet will include such cars as the Nissan Leaf, Chevrolet Volt and Ford Fusion Energi. The city will also reduce its overall fleet by 100 vehicles. In all, the revised group - called the "Freedom Fleet" - will save $8.7 million and 2.2 million gallons of gasoline over 10 years. Read more at Hybrid Cars. EVs with longer range would make vehicle-to-home and vehicle-to-grid energy management systems more practical for the US. The idea of using EVs as energy storage for emergencies or times of high grid demand is currently being tested in Japan with Nissan's Leaf-to-Home system. The US is also interested in such capabilities, but the higher average energy use of American households would make larger batteries in EVs ideal for grid storage applications.

The factory, when constructed, will have a capacity of producing batteries for 100,000 cars per year according to the Korean company. The plant will supply batteries for Chinese automakers such as SAIC and Qoros. Construction is expected to be finished by the end of 2015 and LG Chem expects revenue of more than $933 million by 2020. Read more in the press release below. General Motors is using adhesive used in the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray to create habitat for threatened bat species. Artificial bat caves could help alleviate white-nose fungus that leads to diminished bat populations. Leftover adhesive is used to create stalactites in the artificial caves, allowing them more structure to hang from. GM has also provided Volt battery covers to create nesting habitats for bats, which eat harmful insects and help pollinate plants. See the videos and read more in the press release below.

General Motors Recalls Nearly 780,000 Cars To Fix Deadly Problem
Thu, Feb 13 2014General Motors is recalling nearly 780,000 compact cars in North America because the engines can shut down unexpectedly and cause crashes. The company says six people have been killed in crashes related to the problem. The recall affects Chevrolet Cobalts and Pontiac G5s from the 2005 through 2007 model years. U.S. safety regulators say the weight of the key ring and rough roads can move the ignition switch out of the run position, cutting the engine and electricity. If that happens, air bags may not work. GM says there have been 22 crashes from the problem. All happened at high speeds. Dealers will replace the ignition switch for free. GM says owners should remove nonessential items from key rings until the problem is fixed.

Best car infotainment systems: From UConnect to MBUX, these are our favorites
Sun, Jan 7 2024Declaring one infotainment system the best over any other is an inherently subjective matter. You can look at quantitative testing for things like input response time and various screen load times, but ask a room full of people that have tried all car infotainment systems what their favorite is, and you’re likely to get a lot of different responses. For the most part, the various infotainment systems available all share a similar purpose. They aim to help the driver get where they're going with navigation, play their favorite tunes via all sorts of media playback options and allow folks to stay connected with others via phone connectivity. Of course, most go way beyond the basics these days and offer features like streaming services, in-car performance data and much more. Unique features are aplenty when you start diving through menus, but how they go about their most important tasks vary widely. Some of our editors prefer systems that are exclusively touch-based and chock full of boundary-pushing features. Others may prefer a back-to-basics non-touch system that is navigable via a scroll wheel. You can compare it to the phone operating system wars. Just like some prefer Android phones over iPhones, we all have our own opinions for what makes up the best infotainment interface. All that said, our combined experience tells us that a number of infotainment systems are at least better than the rest. WeÂ’ve narrowed it down to five total systems in their own subcategories that stand out to us. Read on below to see our picks, and feel free to make your own arguments in the comments. Best infotainment overall: UConnect 5, various Stellantis products Ram 1500 Uconnect Infotainment System Review If thereÂ’s one infotainment system that all of us agree is excellent, itÂ’s UConnect. It has numerous qualities that make it great, but above all else, UConnect is simple and straightforward to use. Ease of operation is one of the most (if not the single most) vital parts of any infotainment system interface. If youÂ’re expected to be able to tap away on a touchscreen while driving and still pay attention to the road, a complex infotainment system is going to remove your attention from the number one task at hand: driving. UConnect uses a simple interface that puts all of your key functions in a clearly-represented row on the bottom of the screen. Tap any of them, and it instantly pulls up that menu.
