1964 Malibu Ss Convertible on 2040-cars
Edison, New Jersey, United States
|
Up for auction is a 1964 Malibu SS convertible. It is non-number matching car, it is not restored and is definitely a driver. Title is clean. At some point in its life the original motor and trans were pulled. The history, reason and when that happened is unknown to us. When my family got the car it had the motor/trans as seen in the pics, a 350 with a 350 turbo trans. Car also does not have the original front bucket seats, or console, per the VIN and Trim codes thats what originally came with the car, and its what all SS came with. I did pick up an original console and floor shifter that I will sell separately if the buyer is interested. Also at some point a previous ower did repairs to the floors, there solid but its not the cleanest job, again this is why I consider the car a driver. After all of that its still a real 1964 SS convertible. So heres what we did with the car: all new harnesses interior and under the hood, new horns, upgraded the front brakes from drums to disc, rear brake job, front end was gone threw, all new ball joints, upper and lower bushings, all new weatherstripping, new door hinges on both sides, new carpet, classic audio radio with MP3 wire for your iphone, ipod, mp3 player, new front kick panels with speakers, new dual stereo dash speaker, also installed dual antennas. Wiper linkage was frozen so that was replaced, correct wiper motor was installed. Exhaust is a dual setup with magnaflow mufflers that have a nice rumble to them, its what was on the car when we got it, its in great shape and is welded, no clamps. Convertible top is in excellent shape, rear plastic window is very clear, top is manual and has to be folded down. I forgot to take a pic of the trunk but its in good and has a new trunk mat in it. The body color isn't the original, From my research of the codes it was originally a white car. This is butternut yellow and it has its flaws. A friend of ours did the door hinges at his shop for us and when we were finished tinkering around he was going to paint it for us, unfortunately his shop was destroyed when hurricane sandy hit the coast here in NJ in 2012. The car runs and drives good and handles like every other car built in the 60's. Have used it to go to car shows and cruise nights and have enjoyed it. I have some extras that I'll be including, the original front kick panels, extra set of headlights, a car cover and anything else I have that goes with it. If I had to list some cons of the car for you guys I'd say its the paint and the neatness of the floor work. The paint is not pealing or dull, it cleans up nice but it has its share of chips and some cracks. Just trying to be upfront, I dont want someone to buy it take delivery of the car and freaking out on me. With that in mind PLEASE ask any questions you have before bidding. If you are local and want to check it out we can set something up. Also - not interested in any trades at all. Thanks for checking out my auction. Must be paid for in full before the car goes anywhere.

GM tells owners not to use SUV wipers due to fire risk
Sun, Oct 11 2015General Motors is recalling 31,685 examples of the 2016 Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, and GMC Acadia because a short circuit in the windshield wiper motor can potentially lead to a fire. Due to the danger, the company is asking owners not to use the wipers until the problem is fixed, according to The Detroit Free Press citing the Associated Press. A manufacturing defect in the wiper motor cover means that the electrical terminals can come into contact and cause a short. The part could "melt, smoke, or catch fire," according to a statement from GM. The company will get them fixed immediately, and dealers will replace the cover. If there's bad weather at the time the owner specifies to get the recall work completed, the automaker will come pick up the crossovers. Depending on parts availability, the automaker will supply a rental car for customers, as well. The issue was discovered at the factory. According to the company's statement, only 6,405 actually made it to customers, and they were notified immediately by overnight letter. The rest were in dealer stock. The affected crossovers carry build dates between August 18, 2015 and September 24, 2015. Of those, there are 29,295 in the US and 1,073 in Canada. GM Statement: General Motors has told the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it will recall approximately 29,295 2016 model year Chevrolet Traverse, Buick Enclave and GMC Acadia SUVs in the U.S. because the front windshield wiper motor may overheat when in use because of a manufacturing defect. In some cases, the front windshield wiper motor cover may melt, smoke or catch fire. The approximately 6,405 customers who have taken delivery of these vehicles were notified by overnight letter and are urged to contact a GM dealer as soon as possible to arrange a service appointment. These customers should not use the front windshield wipers until they have been repaired. If weather conditions prevent driving the vehicle without using the windshield wipers, GM will arrange to pick up the vehicle for servicing. If repair parts are unavailable, GM will provide a rental car at no cost until parts become available. The total population, including Canada, Mexico and exports, is approximately 31,685. About 25,280 of these vehicles are in dealer stock and will not be sold until repairs are made.
Junkyard Gem: 1980 Chevrolet LUV Mikado
Sat, Oct 9 2021During the 1970s and into the 1980s, each member of the Detroit Big Three imported Japanese small pickups and sold them with Ford (Mazda Proceed), Dodge/Plymouth (Mitsubishi Forte), or Chevrolet (Isuzu Faster) badges here. Ford developed the Ranger and killed the Courier for 1983 (though Americans could still buy the Mazda-badged version all the way through 1993), while The General axed the LUV after the S-10 debuted in the 1982 model year. Isuzu sold the same truck as the P'up through 1987, though, and we might as well follow up our recent P'up Junkyard Gem with its LUV predecessor. LUV stood for Light Utility Vehicle, and I've managed to spot a handful in the boneyards over the years. This one now resides in a yard in northeastern Colorado. The Mikado trim package included striped seat upholstery and a sporty steering wheel, plus these cool dash badges. As far as I can tell, no LUV Mikado advertising featured any Gilbert and Sullivan tunes. This one is fairly rusty for Front Range Colorado, and it has endured a bed swap from some other small truck. The engine is the 75-horse Isuzu 1.8-liter. Members of this engine family went into everything from Chevy Chevettes to Isuzu Troopers in the United States. Very unusually for a small pickup during the Malaise Era, this one has a luxurious automatic transmission. Acceleration must have been a leisurely affair in this truck. Air conditioning? Unheard of! Someone stuck every one of their lunchtime apple stickers on the driver's door. After 41 years of work, this truck is done. Come on strong in a LUV of your own!
