Up for auction is a 1978 Chevy Malibu Classic. This car is equipped with a strong running V8 engine with dual exhaust, Edelbrock aluminum intake, 625cfm Street Demon carburetor, 65K HEI distributor and automatic transmission. The car recently received a fresh tune-up with new spark plugs, spark plug wires, fuel filter and air filter. The body of this car is in really good condition for its age and still has the factory paint on it. The body has no rust through anywhere on it. It does have a few dings and one small dent on the lower passenger front fender, but nothing that can't easily be fixed. The interior will need a little attention, but all parts can easily be purchased new or used here on eBay. It has a Kenwood CD player with AUX input and iPhone hookup and Kicker 3-way 6x9 speakers in the rear package tray. The car has developed a slight brake pad squeal in the front, so I am including all new brake pads, front hub assemblies, and wheel bearings for the front with the car. If the bidding goes over $3500 the car will come with a new set of Cooper Cobra tires (275/60/15 on the rear and 215/70/15 on the front) mounted on a set of rally wheels (15x8 rear/15x7 front) If the bidding does not reach $3500, the car will come with the staggered (14"front/15" rear) directional mag wheels and tires shown in the last picture. These cars are getting harder and harder to find in this condition, as most are being stripped down for use on the drag strip. This car is tagged, insured and driven on a regular basis and has a clean/clear title in my name that is ready for immediate transfer.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask and I will answer them as soon as possible. A $500 non-refundable deposit is due by PayPal immediately after the auction end with the balance due by cash/cashiers check within 72 hours of auction end. All funds must clear my bank before either the title or vehicle will be released (5-7 day hold on cashiers checks) This is a 35 year old used vehicle, and is therefor sold as-is with no warranty. I encourage you to come check out the vehicle or have someone come inspect the vehicle for you prior to bidding. Thanks for looking at my auction, and good luck to you.

GM says hybrid Corvette no laughing matter [w/poll]
Fri, 30 Aug 2013When Mark Reuss was in LA recently, he sat down to have a few words with the scribes at the Los Angeles Times. When the issue of a hybrid Corvette came up, Reuss answered with "Don't laugh." The General Motors president is a complete fan of the possibility, calling it "attractive" and "really fun," believing it would improve GM expertise and that "people would love it."
Naturally, the president being supportive of an idea doesn't give indication that a hybrid Corvette is on the way. However, with supercars like the Porsche 918 Spyder and Ferrari LaFerrari giving hybrid tech a solid, if remote, place in the performance car world, the inexorable trickle-down of technology means we shouldn't be surprised if and when it does happen.
And now that we have that non-negative half-answer to a speculative question, it would be irresponsible for us not to commence rumormilling for the C8 Corvette. Taking Reuss at his word, the C8 will obviously be a hybrid with all-wheel-drive - the left side wheels driven with electric motors, the right side with the mid-mounted, four-cylinder diesel engine. With coefficient of drag of just .16, figure on a 0-to-60 mile-per-hour time of under 2 seconds and an all-electric range of something like 30 miles at top speed. Don't forget, folks, you read it here first.
Opel's own ad shows Ampera-e beating Opels in drag race
Thu, Sep 8 2016The Opel Ampera-e isn't expected to set any world records on a quarter-mile drag strip. But when it comes to crossing a major boulevard, though, the European version of the Chevrolet Bolt electric vehicle will more than hold its own, potentially scaring inattentive pedestrians everywhere. According to a 35-second video posted by General Motors' Opel division, at least. Opel set up the Ampera-e against four other small-and-sporty vehicles, including racing versions of the Opel Adam and Opel Astra as well as stock versions of the Opel Insignia and Corsa (what, you expected a Corvette to be in there?). With the EV's off-the-line torque as a selling point, Opel showed the Ampera-e beating the other vehicles in a 30-meter (100-foot) drag race. Of course, the video also shows the EV getting passed by some of the others soon after, but the point was made. Opel doubled down by adding the tagline "Fun to Drive" at the end of the video. While Opel hasn't revealed the single-charge range of the Ampera-e, it should be roughly the same as the Chevrolet Bolt, which will be about 200 miles. In addition, the Ampera-e, like the Bolt in the US, will get 200 horsepower from its electric motor, and will be able to go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in less than seven seconds. The Ampera-e will debut at the 2016 Paris Motor Show later this month. General Motors said in February that Europe would get the Ampera-e by next year. Opel had previously used the Ampera name with the Euro version of the Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in.

This SEMA special drag race is absurdly awesome
Fri, Dec 5 2014The SEMA Show came and went last month, and it showed us a ton of heavily modded goodies to dream about during the long, cold winter. The Motor Trend Channel on YouTube is keeping the party rolling a little longer, though, with a drag race inspired by the aftermarket event. All of the hosts were supposed to borrow a vehicle from the show for the big race, but only two of them actually cajoled companies into lending their wares. Still, the result includes four very cool and extremely different examples of the breadth of the automotive hobby. First up, there's a 1955 Chevrolet with a 535-cubic-inch (8.8-liter) Hemi V8 stuffed under the hood. Appropriately, it's dubbed the Blasphemi, and with skinny tires up front, fat rubber in the rear and a stripped interior, this this is made to go very fast in a straight line. Next, there's a stock Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat boasting 707 horsepower. Plus, host Jessi Lang has her dog riding shotgun for the race. A Chevy Sonic RS with some body mods, downpipe and intake is also competing. Finally, the most bizarre of the quartet is a custom 1958 Jeep Forward Control with a 5.7-liter Hemi V8 and treads to replace the wheels. Obviously, the Blasphemi and Hellcat are the only two that really have a chance of winning, but check out the video to see which one crosses the finish line first.
