1971 Chevelle Malibu New Paint Nice Parts Fast Street Driven Car on 2040-cars
Sacramento, California, United States
|
1971 Chevelle. Non ss. Car is registered and insured under my name. Can drive it on California 91 octane anywhere you want. I recently had the car painted in base clearcoat. Paint is nice and body is extremely straight as the pictures show. Car shows exceptionally well and gets a lot of attention. This car has never been in an accident and all body panels are original to the car except for the hood, which was replaced with an original Chevelle hood. There is absolutely no rust on this car.

Wheels Weld racing wheels front 165R15 tires Weld racing wheels rear 325/50/15 ET Street tires Tires are new. Rear wheels are new. Interior Front seats are new aftermarket buckets. Door panels are new Armrests are new Carpet is new Interior panels dyed black Paint and body I stripped the car down prior to bodywork. All bumpers, door handles, trim, and side glass removed. Removed engine to clean front frame, radiator support, control arms, and firewall. This was then primed and painted in base clear black paint. New Goodmark inner fenderwells were sprayed in gloss black single stage. Please keep in mind this was done in my two car garage so the body was not removed for this. The entire frame is not painted. Just the front section to the transmission tunnel area. Its not perfect but does look very nice. Next I reassembled the frontend and reinstalled engine. Then adjusted the fender and hood alignment. All panels line up great and hood opens and shuts correctly with no binding. Trunk lid was removed for prep. I ran out of time to fully prep the bottom of the hood prior to it going to paint shop. Looks good under hood still just not perfectly smooth as I would have liked. Car was sent to painter afterwards for final blocking and masking. The color I chose is called Havasu blue metallic. It is a factory color from a 2003 Honda Odyssey. It is a very similar color to the original light blue that was applied to these cars and is a very easy to obtain factory car color if future touchup work is ever needed. When i got the car back from paint I fully cut and buffed the paint. All of the trim, bumpers, door handles, etc. were in good enough shape for a driver so all of that was polished and put back on the car. Weatherstripping and all seal gaskets are new. Windows are very smooth and correctly adjusted. No shaking or rattling and seal up nicely. Engine was put together several years ago. Has been freshened up a few times as needed over the years but have found no reason to change a single thing on it. Has maybe 2000 miles since last rebuild. Transmission was recently done by the same person who built the engine. Roughly 1500 miles on that. This engine and transmission has proven dead reliable. I do not drive it often lately but it has been on several road trips that were a few hundred miles long without so much as a hiccup. Issues or things I believe should be fixed. The front windshield has a crack in it and drips water when I wash it. I would simply have it replaced as opposed to resealed. The car has had a switch panel installed in it for several years that it does not need. But it controls starter, electric water pump, fuel pump, and electric fan. Works fine. Just no reason to have it on a street car. Dashpad is cracked. Rear seat is not correct for the car. It dimensionally fits and looks right but it is not for that car. Lastly, I believe at some point the wiring harness should be replaced with a Painless harness. Everything works and I have seen no issues as of yet. But the car spent countless hours getting wetsanded. On top of being 40 years old, its just a nice way to modernize the wiring and save possible future headaches in my opinion. That is about all I can think of. The car is an absolute blast to drive and gets an overwhelming amount of attention. I guarantee you cannot take this car more than a few miles away from home without turning heads and getting compliments. You'll be lucky to get it out of your driveway before that. The car is not perfect but its certainly very nice. I have been accurate down to every detail that I can think of on this car but legitimate buyers are welcome and encouraged to see it in person during the auction or contact me for any questions NOT answered in the ad. Thanks for looking. Car is listed locally and if sold during the timeframe of this auction prior to meeting reserve, I will cancel bids and pull auction. Fred 916-390-5157 On Jun-29-14 at 12:06:27 PDT, seller added the following information: Reserve is very reasonable on the car. In order to be fair to all bidders, I will not release what that amount is though. Just bid what you are willing to realistically pay for the car. Thanks. |

Body shop manager stole over $500,000 worth of government trucks and parts
Fri, Jan 27 2017The US Department of Justice announced yesterday that the manager of a collision and restoration business in Virginia admitted he helped misappropriate and sell vehicles and parts from the State Department. Specifically, he sold 12 Chevrolet Suburbans, a Hummer, and $7,500 worth of tires and wheels. He pled guilty to charges to commit theft of government property and wire fraud. He will likely see 18 to 20 months in prison, a fine of $4,000 to $40,000, and has already agreed to pay restitution of $416,020 and asset forfeiture of the same amount. According to the Department of Justice, the body shop manager, James Ratcliffe, worked with the owner of the business and a State Department official, both unnamed, to obtain the property. It started with the wheels and tires, which were delivered and sold on two occasions, one in 2011 and another in 2012. The trucks came later, and were sold throughout 2011 and 2013. Ratcliffe and the shop owner kept most of the profits, and shared some of the leftovers with the government official. In addition to the vehicles that were sold, the government official also gave Ratcliffe a pair of Suburbans for his own personal use. The Department of Justice estimated the total value of the SUVs at $96,400. In total, the group misappropriated $512,420 worth of property. Related Video:
Chevy gets cracking on Cruze EV fleet testing
Tue, 21 Sep 2010Chevrolet Cruze EV - Click above for high-res image gallery
The Chevrolet Volt hasn't yet gone on sale, but General Motors is looking at ways of expanding its electric vehicle lineup. Chevy, along with partner LG, is employing a group of all-electric cars in the form of the Cruze. The sedans are part of a demonstration fleet which is located in Seoul, South Korea and is being used to provide data in an electric vehicle research project. The goal is to gather information on driving patterns and charging behavior in addition to consumer acceptance.
The Cruze EVs, along with some Daewoo Lacetti Premieres EVs, are the first fleet of full-size electric vehicles and should provide invaluable information for The General. Staying full-size means not sacrificing cargo space, so the battery pack is mounted to the underbody, leaving the trunk area open for plenty recyclable, canvas grocery bags.
Watch Evo pick its 2015 Car of the Year in this epic video
Mon, Dec 7 2015With just a few days left in 2015, it's the perfect time to check out Evo's annual Car of the Year test to determine the greatest performance vehicle of the last 12 months. The writers' picks for the 11 finalists spanned a breadth of engaging models and included: Peugeot 208 GTi by Peugeot Sport, Lamborghini Aventador SV, Seat Leon Cupra Sub8, McLaren 675LT, Porsche 991 GT3 RS, Porsche Cayman GT4, Honda Civic Type R, Ferrari 488 GTB, Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, Lotus Evora 400, and Mercedes-AMG GT S. For the venue to test the mettle of these performance machines, Evo stuck close to home this year and visited the twisting roads at the beautiful north coast of Scotland. Racing brothers Marino and Dario Franchitti also came along for the ride to provide two more voices in the competitive challenge to determine a winner. Evo's video explains why each model deserves to be among such rarified company but doesn't gloss over their faults either. There can be only one winner, though. We don't want to spoil it, so check out the clip for magnificent views of these performance machines through the Scottish countryside.
