Selling 1975 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu Classic Coupe, fully functional and in good working order. The car has just under 158,000 miles on it, with approximately half of these being highway miles I drove mostly in commuting to work between eastern Pennsylvania and New York City. As I have since retired, I no longer need the vehicle and am thus reluctantly selling it. It is my hope that the eventual purchaser will enjoy it as much as I have, either as a daily driver or as a restoration project. The good: This is a spacious car that handles and rides with a soft suspension experience that is hard to rival (I find its ride more comfortable than similar era Cadillac limousines I once drove). Because of its solidity and weight, its cushioned bench seating that truly accommodates six people comfortably, and its powered mechanical features (including its 350-hp V-8 engine), this vehicle is a pleasure to drive in a manner with which today's cars can hardly compete. Despite these size, weight, and suspension characteristics, it handles well in evasive maneuvers, something I unfortunately have had experience with in dodging the ever-prevalent deer and wildlife in my neck of the woods. Beyond my commuting, I have most enjoyably driven the car on long road trips (e.g., from Pennsylvania to Atlanta and back), and I would not hesitate to do so with it now. The air conditioning system I updated a few years back with new, more efficient than OEM equipment, and it works beautifully. The interior is in very good shape. The tires were replaced as a set a couple of years ago and still have significant tread life. I have a couple of extra spare tires (not on rims) which will go with the car. The bad: While in very good mechanical shape for a car of its age, the inevitable rust factor is present; most significantly from an appearance but not operational perspective (see pictures). There are rusted-through portions of a few inches square only at each front fender, and some rusting at the rear fenders which has not similarly broken through. A couple of years back, I had an accident at highway speed in which a deer leaped from the woods and was caught in midair at the center grill, directly between the headlights. As the police noted, the design of the car almost certainly saved my life: its solidity and flat front meant the animal was tossed aside into the opposing lane of traffic (where thankfully no one was), whereas a modern car with a sloped aerodynamic hood would have driven the animal into me through the windshield. The damage: the cast-iron front grill was smashed to smithereens (since replaced with an original OEM grill, as pictured); the frame piece above it was bent (straightened somewhat, as pictured); and the radiator needed replacement. There was no impact on the car's ride, operation, or handling. A minor collision had with the front bumper before I owned the car caused the side bumper edge to be slightly pushed inward, a cosmetic concern only and hardly noticeable. The V-8 engine provides significant power and smooth acceleration in a way that today's smaller ones tend not to, but does burn and leak a moderate amount of oil (usually a quart every five thousand miles, more if hard driving is at issue). The car averages about 15 miles per gallon, highway driving, of regular gas. The vinyl roof, as pictured, is in need of replacement. Minor points: The OEM AM radio system does not work (I believe the speakers are bad); and the seat belt reminder buzzer is stuck on (a simple repair would be to disconnect its relay). As the car has not been driven for about seven months (although I have started it up each month without difficulty and driven it a block or so each time), it needs a good exterior and interior cleaning. I am not a mechanic and have tried to accurately and fairly describe the car's condition. I am happy to provide more pictures and/or information as requested. The prior owner of the car is my mechanic, who is a Shelby race car driver for the past forty years and recently retired from his own automotive repair business in Queens, New York. He has maintained the car for me since my purchase of it from him, had owned it for many years before me (he was the second owner), and is willing to discuss its condition with any interested party. Because the car is no longer registered or insured, it cannot be test driven, although it may be inspected by appointment. Delivery will be from my home, after sale and transfer of title. Car is being sold as is, with a clear title and no warranty. Payment by cashier's check, multiple postal money orders, or cash preferred. |

2016 Chevy Colorado Duramax gets 31 mpg highway
Mon, Nov 9 2015The 2016 Chevrolet Colorado Duramax and its similarly diesel-powered GMC Canyon sibling are the most fuel-efficient new trucks on the market in America. The Environmental Protection Agency estimates 31 miles per gallon highway, 22 mpg city, and 25 mpg combined for two-wheel-drive Colorado and Canyon diesels. That's just good enough to take the pickup fuel-economy title from the Ram 1500 EcoDiesel HFE, which carries EPA estimates of 29 mpg highway, 21 mpg city, and 24 mpg combined. Four-wheel-drive models offer slightly lower economy figures of 29/20/23, respectively. Drivers can cover quite some distance, too – the GM twins' 21-gallon tanks mean a maximum range of 651 miles. <p>Your browser does not support iframes.</p> Diesel's reputation may be somewhat tarnished in the US after Volkswagen's emissions scandal, but Chevy wants to assure potential customers that there are no tricks with the Colorado's figures. The pickup's engine features NOx-reducing tech like exhaust gas recirculation, and the EPA and California Air Resources Board recently chose the truck to take the additional step of real-world emissions tests. The 2.8-liter Duramax four-cylinder with 181 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque had no problems with the more stringent evaluation, and "the agency expressed no issues or concerns," according to the company's statement. The diesel Colorado goes on sale this fall, and the Duramax costs $3,730 over a similarly equipped V6 model. We've gone ahead and included dueling press releases from both Chevy and GMC below for your reading pleasure.

The EPA-estimated highway fuel economy for 2016 Colorado four-wheel drive diesel is 29 mpg. The EPA has issued a Certificate of Conformity for the Chevrolet Colorado Duramax diesel. The agency expressed no issues or concerns following its recent extensive testing and evaluation of the emission control system on the Colorado Duramax diesel.
Car Club USA: Corvette Homecoming
Tue, Mar 17 2015Car Club USA travels to Bowling Green, KY to document the annual Corvette Homecoming, where owners travel from around the country to reconnect with the manufacturing birthplace of their vehicles. We follow two contestants in the "Show and Shine" competition, for whom the human connection at the event is just as important as showing off their wheels. "That's probably the biggest thing about this weekend," says one attendee, "there's a connection with Corvette people." Of course, the grandeur seeing stunners like a 1959 Corvette convertible, 1966 Big Block and 2002 Z06 is worth the price of admission. Get a firsthand look at the Homecoming experience, and the folks that make it so special. Each Car Club USA episode features a different car club or event from across the US, where passionate owner communities gather to share automotive experiences and embark on incredible adventures.

GM 6.2L V8 claims most powerful light-duty truck engine title
Thu, 12 Sep 2013General Motors has officially captured the horsepower crown for mainstream pickup trucks with its 6.2-liter V8. The big mill, available in both the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, comes to market with 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, handily outdoing its two cross-town competitors, Ram (5.7-liter V8, 395 ponies and 407 lb-ft) and Ford (6.2-liter V8, 411 hp and 434 lb-ft).
The new GM 6.2 will take a bit of an investment, though. Those that want the extra thrust will need to go with either the LTZ or High Country trims from the Chevy, or the SLT and Denali trims from GMC, which are the two highest trim levels for the respective vehicles. Trim levels aside, if you're in the business of towing, GM has you covered. Optioned with the 6.2-liter V8 and the Max Trailering Package, owners will be able to pull 12,000 pounds, a hugely impressive figure.
We still aren't certain as to what sort of economy the new engine will get, but it'll probably be a bad bet for the fuel conscious. As for availability, expect to see the 6.2-liter trucks in showrooms later in the fall.
