1970 Chevelle Malibu Runs/drives Soild Car! on 2040-cars
Charlotte, North Carolina, United States
|
I bought this car a while back on a whim because of its great condition,I really don't have time to restore it as I'm already working on 3 other muscle cars.All I've done to it is change plugs,wires and adjust timing.Runs decent,has some slight smoke when revved.Could just be a rich condition.One of the best examples of a unrestored car I've seen in the southeast rust wise.Original colors were Grean/Green.I don't remember the actaul colot name at the moment.All rust is pictured.It could easily become a driver.Here's everything I can think of mecanical wise. The Good, 1975 block 350/350 Engine and trans.Heads are 186 double hump with accessory holes dates 3/69 Engine compression between 175 and 188 checked cold and dry.Aftermarket aluminum radiator. Clean/clear title The Bad, Leaks atf fluid from pump,Balancer seal leaks,power steering works,but leaks bad from box,Car has usual bad brakes associated with old drum brakes on all 4 wheels,Weak springs,leans on passenger side,Noise coming from speedo when driving needle bounces,No trunk or door keys,trunk open with screwdriver,Windshield cracked and weathered badly, The Missing, Trans dipstick is missing,Engine dipstick is broke off in block if you were to remove header there still plenty to grab on to ,so pulling it out should not be an issue,prvious ower just had a Mr. Gasket one sitting on top of it.There's no inner fenders or battery box.Also the plug wires on it will be replaced with others as these belong to my camaro. All rust is pictured The Body, Rust hole front bottom driver door Floor pans solid,small rust spot driver floor board Bottom rear of front fenders have been patched with a lap joint and spot welded,not professional IMO,but functional. "One side pictured" Remainder of front fenders and rad support solid,not even pitting on underside of fenders or support. Bottom rear of both quarters need some small patching,driver more than passenger Inside of wheel lips need the smallest of metal work as can be seen. All original quarters!!! Package tray solid,small amount of rust on weather stripping from deck lid to truck Dash and metal under rear widow look free and clean of rust from what can be seen which is highly unusual Trunk floor is still intact,has the usual extensive rust pitting,if making a driver,you could easily epoxy prime undercoat/thin roll on bedliner and splatter paint the floor ad a mat and you would never know if your not looking for a show car.Chalky section in the trunk is where I put phosphoric acid on it to experiment with rust removal then had to leave suddenly,so it was not removed in time.It will come back off with a wire wheel or I believe if you reapply it will become active again and rinse away with water. All body parts are there that have been removed in pics,Rear bumper is about the same condition as the front fairly straight with bad chrome. Passenger side rear quarter above bumper has some bondo coming through a hole. Driver door slightly sags needs adjusted/hinge bushings replaced Passenger doors outside handle does not work. Really bad DA work on exterior paint by previous owner Overall the car has minimal rust in my opinion and is very straight. This is everything i can think of as of now.Please email me with any other questions you may have. |

Refreshed 2014 Camaro confirmed for New York debut
Thu, 07 Mar 2013We've already seen leaked specs and potential spy shots, but the refreshed 2014 Chevrolet Camaro will make its official debut at the New York Auto Show in a few weeks.
Besides a tweaked exterior and the possibility of a high-output LS7 under the hood, we really don't know much else about the 2014 Camaro, but here's hoping for an improved interior, too.
In addition to the refreshed Camaro, Chevrolet will also be showing off the recently introduced Chevrolet SS, making its debut on the auto show circuit, and we'll also get our first look at the C7 Corvette coupe and convertible side-by-side.
Best and Worst GM Cars
Thu, Apr 7 2022Oh yes, because we just love receiving angry letters from devoted Pontiac Grand Am enthusiasts, we have decided to go there. Based on a heated group Slack conversation, the topic came up about the best and worst GM cars. First of all time, and then those currently on sale, and then just mostly a rambling discussion of Oldsmobiles our parents and grandparents owned (or engineered). Eventually, three of us made the video above. Like it? Maybe we can make more. Many awesome GM cars are definitely going unmentioned here, so please let us know your bests and worsts in the comments below. Mostly, it's important to note that this post largely exists as a vehicle for delivering the above video that dives far deeper into GM's greatest hits and biggest flops, specifically those from the 1980s and 1990s. What you'll find below is a collection of our editors identifying a best current and best-of-all-time choice, plus a worst current and worst-of-all-time choice. Comprehensive it is not, but again, comments. -Senior Editor James Riswick Best Current GM Vehicle Chevrolet Corvette We were flying by the seats of our pants a bit in this first outing and my notes were similarly extemporaneous. When it came time to tie it all together on camera, I failed spectacularly. Thank the maker for text, because this gives me the opportunity to perhaps slightly better explain my convoluted reasoning. I chose the C8 Corvette because it's simply overwhelmingly good, and it's merely the baseline from which this generation of Corvette will be expanded. While the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing (more on that in a minute) is an amazing snapshot of GM's current performance standing and its little sibling so enraptured me that I went out and bought one, their existence is fleeting. Corvette will live on; forced-induction Cadillac sport sedans, not so much. So while all three are amazing machines when viewed in a vacuum, the Corvette stands above them as both a reflection of GM's current performance credentials and a signpost of what is to come. So, given the choice between the C8 and the 5V-Blackwing right now, I'd choose the C8. In 10 years, when the Blackwing is no longer in production and Corvette is in its 9th generation? Well, that might be a different story. Now, just pretend I said something even remotely that coherent when we get to the part of the video where I try to make an argument for the 5-V Blackwing as best GM car I've ever driven. Or just laugh at me while I ramble incoherently.
GM will make Chevy Volt production announcement tomorrow
Mon, Apr 7 2014Thing are apparently happening to get the next-generation Chevy Volt ready for public consumption. The most obvious proof is in a preview of an announcement (possibly coming tomorrow) that the two main places where General Motors gets the Volt ready -the Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly Plant and the Brownstown Township battery assembly facility - will be getting big money upgrades and lots of new positions. The Hamtramck plant builds the Volt and its fancier cousin, the Cadillac ELR, as well as the global versions of the Volt. The Detroit News reports that GM will add 1,400 jobs and spend roughly $450 million at the two locations in order to build the redesigned Volt. What's less clear is exactly what the updates will bring us. We've heard that the new volt will be a 2016 model and come on a new chassis. Speculation in The Detroit News about tomorrow's announcement runs the gamut from a new compact PHEV with less electric range and a lower price (which makes sense) to an updated Volt with more electric range (heard it before) to a new all-electric vehicle (the moon shot). If there's any hints to be gleaned in the international Volts, there are also reports coming in that the Opel brand will get an all-electric vehicle that is cheaper than the Ampera. Read into that what you will. We pestered GM's Kevin Kelly on the new Volt (again) and he said (again) that he couldn't give out any more detail other than what's been reported. He just told AutoblogGreen that there will be an announcement tomorrow and that it will be about the Hamtramck and Brownstown facilities and involve the Volt. So, stay tuned.
