Week, 1965) The Malibu was purchased from Bob Coyle Chevrolet, 117 E. Santa Clara Street, San Jose, CA and the original owner took delivery on 3/23/65. The car is being offered for sale for the first time in its garaged life. The car was never a hand me down, never seen a high school parking or mistreated in anyway. The car went under a repaint in 1983. Madeira Maroon paint surface is crazed on the hood, top and truck. Besides being 30-years old, the crazing is due to the original paint not being removed but sanded, primed and repainted with lacquer. No body corrosion outside of the standard spots associated with the Chevelle Malibu, which is along the lip of the sheet metal under the truck where a rubber strip lays on top to give a finished appearance to the bumper application. Moisture and dirt tended to gather between the metal and rubber and set up corrosion. This car is a 100% California clean find. The car has been parked in a garage in Santa Clara County since the year 2000. It has been brought back to life beginning in June 2013. The following is the work that has been completed. Rebuilt Carburetor New Fuel Pump and Filter New Fuel Tank and fuel level

The original owners said they got bumped in the teacher’s parking lot on two occasions in the side fender panels. These events are not detectable on the body. The car is straight, the sheet metal is in great shape and the bumpers are perfect with out dents or even crooked. The engine long block has never been opened. The car received regular maintenance, starts easily and runs smoothly. The Powerglide transmission shifts appropriately and smoothly. It handles like a car built in the mid-60’s but it runs true and straight on the freeway with zero pull to left or right. With the new brake cylinders the manual brakes operate smoothly and evenly when stopping. The original 1965 Chevrolet Owner Protection Plan with the Protect-O-Plate comes with the car. The original working AM pushbutton radio is with the car and stored carefully in the truck.

Vert-A-Pac train cars kept your Chevy Vega's price in check
Fri, 01 Mar 2013Our apologies to those who've seen this before, but for the rest of the class, how awesome are these pictures of the Vert-A-Pac shipping system General Motors came up with to ship the Chevrolet Vega back in the 1970s? Developed along with Southern Pacific Railroad, GM was able to double the amount of Vega models it could ship by packing them into the unique storage cars vertically.
At the time, rail cars could fit 15 vehicles each, but Chevrolet was able to lower shipping costs by making it possible to ship 30 Vegas per rail car, in turn allowing the price of the Vega to remain as low as possible. Each rail car had 30 doors that would fold down so that a Vega could be strapped on, and then a forklift would come along and lift the door into place. All the cars were positioned nose down, and since they were shipped with all of their required fluids, certain aspects had to be designed specifically for this type of shipping, including an oil baffle in the engine, a special battery and even a repositioned windshield washer reservoir. See for yourself in our image gallery above.
GM's European Opel division may eventually go all-electric
Wed, Feb 15 2017General Motors' Opel division in Europe may transform itself into an all-electric vehicle maker by 2030. Granted, a lot can happen between now and then, including a potential buyout by French automaker PSA Group. Regardless, Opel appears to view its electric future beyond the Ampera-e, which is the sister vehicle to the Chevrolet Bolt, and more like Tesla. Opel CEO Karl-Thomas Neumann indicated that focusing on electric drivetrains would be a superior strategy to expanding its EV technology while pushing forward with conventional drivetrains, says Automotive News Europe, citing comments Neumann made to German publication Manager Magazin. General Motors could make the decision to move towards an all-electric vehicle line for Opel as soon as May. Of course, that depends on whether Opel is bought out by PSA, the parent country to Peugeot and Citroen. PSA is in talks to buy General Motors' Opel and Vauxhall divisions, though government and labor representatives in Germany have expressed concerns over potential job losses from the proposed buyout, Reuters says. Regardless, GM has hinted at expanding its electric-vehicle line far beyond the Bolt, which has a 238-mile single-charge range and debuted late last year. Mary Barra, in an interview with CNET, said the Bolt's all-electric platform could be applied to a "huge range of vehicles," though wasn't specific about additional EV models. Opel first showed off its Ampera-e at the Paris Motor Show last fall. The name of the model raised some eyebrows because the Ampera badge had been previously used by Opel for the sister version of the Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in. Either way, Opel is looking to take on Renault for electric-vehicle sales supremacy across the Pond. Related Video:
GM files for Z71 Trail Boss trademark
Mon, Jan 26 2015Try as they might to keep their plans a secret, automakers have their hands tipped through a variety of methods – be they through loose lips, spy shots or patent and trademark applications. That's how we know, in this instance, that General Motors is working on (or at least considering) an off-road machine wearing the name Z71 Trail Boss – the name which our compatriots at AutoGuide.com tell us that GM has registered for use on light-duty trucks. Now if that alphanumeric designator sounds familiar, it should. GM has long used it to designate the off-road packages on many of its body-on-frame trucks from Chevy and GMC. These days you can order a Z71 package on the Chevy Colorado, Silverado, Tahoe and Suburban and on the GMC Canyon, Sierra and Yukon. The package typically includes components like a beefed-up suspension bits, high-capacity air cleaner and underbody protection plates. The Trail Boss designator would seem to suggest something further reaching than a suspension package, though. Just what it would entail we don't know; minds immediately start running toward Chevy or GMC going after the Ford F-150 Raptor, but we'll likely be looking at something closer to the Trailhawk packages Jeep offers on the likes of the Renegade and Cherokee.
