1967 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu 2dr Ht-rolling Project-fact 4sp W/docs & Pop on 2040-cars
Lehigh Acres, Florida, United States
GENERAL DISCRIPTION This listing is for a 1967 Chevelle Malibu Sport Coupe (2 dr ht) and is a "NON" running or driving Project. This was a factory V8 4 speed, bench seat car when new, and I have the documents to prove it, but now it has "NO" Motor or Trans or Brakes !! Otherwise the car still retains most of it's original parts and is about a 90% complete rolling project. The car will roll and steer to be put on a trailer but has no brakes. The car will need a serious restoration, however it is far from being junk and is as good or better than most project Chevelle's. The body has rust and will need panel replacement, however it is structurally sound and has a solid foundation in all the necessary places, and in the proper hands, this car will prove to be an excellent (and even easy) restoration canidate, that will result in a High End - High Dollar Collector item !! For those still interested I will describe in detail all the good and bad issues with the car. I want you to know exactly what you are buying and getting into. The car has a more than fair reserve (don't ask), and is priced to sell. The parts alone on this car are worth more than my reserve. I run honest - no bull - auctions, so if you are truly interested in the car, be on top at the end, (and be serious), because I do "NOT" drive up my own bids or use friends bids !! All bids you see will be honest and legit bidders. TITLE & DOC'S I do have a clear /open Florida Title in my name and will be turned over to the new owner after funds have been received and bank cleared. I have original documents on the car including the original dealer delivery window sticker invoice that shows prices and options, and also the original owners warranty book and metal Protect-O- Plate info. VEHICLE CONDITION This is a Goodcar - Badcar situation, and the pro builder will say "no problem" and the amateur will say "no way". With that said, I'll describe all the Good-Bad-Ugly issues and you can decide wether it's right for you. Overall this car is a great builder, but you will need to judge it from the inside out and not on the overall appearance. First of all lets look at the good aspects. This car was undercoated when new, so it helped save most of the undercarrage. The frame is in excellent condition with only the normal surface rust and has not been bent nor damaged. The inner and outer rocker area is rock solid, as is all of the support areas and bracing. The trunk drops are excellent as are the inner wells - trunk hump - rear floor - and under rear seat. The front floors are rotted through in places, but not all the way to the rockers, and have plenty of good metal left to work with. The trunk floor has been fiberglassed over by previous owner and is hard to tell how solid it actually is. Looks ok, but I would count on replacing the complete trunk floor. The window channels are very solid for this kind of car. The back channel looks good as does the package tray area and should not need any repair. The front channel is good except the strip on the bottom at the dash and the corners. Top of dash is in great condition, so a simple repair panel for the front window channel is all that's needed. The roof is nasty to look at, and mostly covered in surface rust, but is solid and with no rot or weak spots, except for a small area on the sail panel (shown). The fire wall needs a small simple patch around the heater core area outlet, but otherwise this and the cowl area is very solid. The door posts at the bottom corners will need small patchs, but not serious. Just want you to know all !! The front fenders can be saved and repaired with a few small patchs, and the rad support and inner wells are all solid. Both doors are good. The r/s door is excellent and the l/s door is ok from the outside, but will need some attention on the bottom inside. The trunk lid is very solid only having minor rust, and is solid on the inside lip and edges. Now for the bad news - Both 1/4 panels and the rear light panel, along with a complete trunk floor should be replaced. 1/4 s can be repaired with alot of time and patience, but would be much faster and easer just to replace. The worst area for rust on the car is the weatherstrip channel inside the trunk, and with new -"FULL" - 1/4 s, and a rear light panel, this problem will take care of itself, as the full panel will include the weatherstrip channel's and the sail panel area. The good news to all this is these panels are readily available and fairly cheep, and with a solid foundation to weld to, this should be a simple repair job. The only other thing worth mentioning about rust is the metal removable dash panel that houses the instruments was rusted badly and was removed, but I have another panel that is in pristeen condition.and goes with the sale. The old one still has the braces and cluster in it and you can use this to make a good one. The un-removable part of the dash is excellent, so when finished, all of the metal dash parts will be good. The only ugly news is the hood is pure junk !! It is included, but will need to be replaced. INCLUDED The factory original 4 Speed column - The brake/clutch pedal setup - All Glass is in great condition (no windshield) - Most all trim is with car and in fairly good used condition - Front & Rear seats are usable with no rips or tears - Good 10 bolt rear end - Has a fairly good and very usable exhaust system and a set of headers for a small block - All suspension parts are present and with no damage All heater parts MISSING FROM VEHICLE Motor - Trans - Driveshaft - Radiator - Windshield - Rear door panels - Headliner - Some misc small items & some of the wiring I think I have covered just about everything you you would need to know about the condition of the car, and have provided good pics of the rusted areas. If you need aditional info or pics of a specific area, please contact me through ebay. I will provide you with 30 days of free outside storage from the time of purchase. After 30 days, there will be a $10. a day storage fee in place untill picked up !!! If you purchase it and do not pick it up yourself - "PLEASE" - let the transporter know that the car does not run and has no brakes. Please read the payment rules and abide by them !! A $200 deposit is due within 48 hrs of close of auction This deposit is "NON" refundable, and if not paid by the required time, the car will be offered to the next and backup bidder !!!! And please contact me with your intentions on payment and pickup times. |

Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war
Sun, 30 Dec 2012A couple weeks ago, we watched a Chevrolet Silverado get dominated by a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty in a fullsize pickup tug-of-war, but in that truck's defense, Chevy's Vortec gas engine was no match for the torquey Cummins turbo diesel. For our next round of vehicular tug-of-war, a Duramax-powered Silverado HD takes on Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.
Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video, with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backwards. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.
It just goes to show, though, that big tires, bolt-on fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect when the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past?
PickupTrucks.com's latest test results in a familiar winner [w/video]
Wed, 19 Jun 2013PickupTrucks.com has gone and thrown the latest batch of half-ton pickups into a cage match to see who would come out on top. The site put the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, 2013 Ford F-150, Ram 1500, Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan through a battery of tests. Those included 0-60 miles per hour acceleration, 60-0 mph deceleration, fuel economy, a hill climb, and payload and towing. They even threw the rigs on an autocross course to evaluate overall handling. Each truck was given points based on how it scored in each evaluation.
Who came out on top? Somewhat surprisingly, the 2013 Ford F-150 walked away with the gold, though fewer than 50 points separated first and fourth place. Head over to PickupTrucks.com to read the full evaluation and the final results. You may be shocked to see exactly where some of the segment's newest additions placed. You can also watch a video on the test below.
GM won't pay owners of recalled cars for lost value
Thu, 12 Jun 2014Kenneth Feinberg, the man in charge of the General Motors compensation fund dealing with the its widespread ignition switch woes, has issued an informal, two-letter response to the plaintiffs in more than 70 lawsuits seeking redress for lost resale value of their Cobalts: "No." The cases were recently combined into one, but Feinberg told The Detroit News that the fund will deal "only with death and physical injury claims," and that "perceived diminished value" will get no consideration.
ALG, the firm specializing in establishing residual values, determined that Cobalt owners had lost $300 compared to the segment competition and doesn't envision any long-term effects from the recall situation. Feinberg's statement comes in advance of public details on how the compensation fund will work and adheres to GM's long-held position on the matter. The company has already asked a judge to throw out such suits using the pre-bankruptcy defense, even as it stopped using that defense in cases of injury and death.
With plenty of potential gain from the GM suit, however, don't expect the plaintiffs to give up yet. When Toyota was sued for the same reason during the unintended acceleration debacle, it eventually settled the case for between $1 billion and $1.4 billion just to get it over with. Since the 85 law firms involved in the Toyota litigation took home more than $250 million of that total, we shouldn't expect the attorneys to give up on a GM payout, either.
