California Car 1970 Cheverolt Chevelle Ss 454 Clone Malibu on 2040-cars
Hackettstown, New Jersey, United States
Vehicle Title:Clear
Make: Chevrolet
Drive Type: automatic
Model: Chevelle
Mileage: 9,999
Trim: coupe
you are bidding on a 1970 chevelle california car that was made into a ss 454 clone. as u can tell by the trim tag this car was built in Van Nuys California plant as a 1970 chevelle malibu 2 door sports coupe 8 cylinder . it was painted green mist with a dark green interior.
The car spent its whole life in california untill 1994 when the owners family moved out to New Jersey. The car has never been "on the road" since then. It belonged to a kid i went to highschool with. his father had previously owned a bodyshop and it was a father and son project. they did a frame off restoration on the car between 1994 and 1999 but they never completed it. they had sent the car out for paint in 1999 and it sat in the body shop till 2004 when i traded him a 1967 camaro for the chevelle.
The way u see the car in the pictures is exactly the way i got it. it has been sitting in my moms garage since 2004 collecting dust. every time i thought id start working on it something would come up and sidetrack me. now in 2013 i have excepted that after buying a house im just not ever going to have the time to finish this car.
about the car....it has to be one of the cleanest origional sheet metal cars i have ever seen. the body is 100% gm sheet metal. you can pretty much eat off the car. the floors and trunk are perfict. along with most all the typical problem areas for chevelles. the car was stripped down to bare metal and i was told the only rot spot was on the pass quarter bottom right behind the rear wheel maby the size of a baseball??? i can see where there is filler there on the quarter and the inner wheel well. i can also tell you that at some point the weel well lip on the quarters was trimmed down to clear bigger tires. its not flush with the quarter pannel but its maby 1/3 the width now.(pictured) I am not a body guy by any means, but it appears that the only filler used on the car was for minor dent repair. obviously there is some where the quarter meets the roof and where the windshield pillars meet the roof as these spots were filled with lead from the factory. all the gaps in the body are nice(by gm standards). (pictured) . currently the car is in black primer with about an inch of dust.
the car has all the ss 454 options like power disc breaks, 454 engine, turbo 400 automatic transmission, 12 bolt posi rear end, boxed lower control arms and frame braces, ss rear bumper, and gm cowl induction hood.
the motor is in running condition, doesn t smoke or knock, and i can demo it for you. as far as any specs on it i have no info. just that it is a 454. and i did run the numbers at one point to verify it wasn t a 402. when i got it there was no distribuitor wires or carb so i just threw some on there to get it running. the wires will need to be replaced and the carb needs to be rebuilt.
the transmission is a turbo 400, and again i have no specs on it, the shifter cable/ linkage is not hooked up so i just leave it in neutural. aslo the trans lines are just looped with rubber trans hose. the hard lines will need to be run to the cooler.
the rear end is a chevelle 12 bolt posi. i dont know the gears, but i have verified its a posi because when u jack it up bolth wheels spin in the same direction and also the car i verry hard to push while the steering wheel is turned. It is not a buick, olds, pontiac, rear.
as u can see in the pictures it also has a floor shift steering column, buckett seats,power steering, and a ss dash.
the car will need to have all the break lines and fuel lines ran, also all the wireing hooked up(included with the car). all of the glass is there except for the windshield. i have the stainless windshield and back window trim. I t will aslo need an exhaust system from the headers back. the engine needs a powersteering pump and belt.
the car has a clean and clear nj title in my name.

The interior is mostly complete, it will need carpet, a floor shifter,a headliner, the sail panels,rear seat shelf cover and seat belts.
because the shifter is not hooked up, and the lack of break lines, you can t drive this car . it will have to be trailered home. if your trailer doesn t have a winch be prepared to use a come along.
On Feb-27-13 at 10:42:35 PST, seller added the following information:
the back seat and bucket seats are currently in the car. i took them out to take pictures of the floor pans which are usually problem areas on chevelles. The floors and trunk are 100% origional, no horrible patch jobs with those ugly weld seams front to back.

Why the Corvette's Performance Data Recorder can be illegal in some states
Fri, 26 Sep 2014The Performance Data Recorder with Valet Mode available on the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray seems like a fantastic tool for many owners. Whether they are taking 720p video while lapping the track in their new 'Vette, or just want to protect their purchase from inconsiderate joyriders, the system offers a lot of functionality in one package. However, one of the PDR's features might get buyers in trouble with the law, and it has nothing to do with recording some illicit high-speed driving on a favorite back road. The problem hinges on the various state laws concerning a person's right to privacy.
According to a letter posted by Jalopnik, Chevy dealers are asking 2015 Corvette owners not to use the Valet Mode portion of the PDR because it records audio in the cabin, in addition to performance specs. That's a problem because privacy laws vary from state to state with some requiring just one side's consent to tape sound and others requiring all parties to agree. According Jalopnik, 15 states mandate everyone's permission beforehand, but it's not clear whether these numbers are up to date. (Actually, the report varies, saying 13 states in some places and 15 in a list.)
According to the letter, Chevy is already working on a software update for the near future to rectify the issue. It's possible that simply adding a warning to drivers and the ability to turn off the audio recording function in Valet Mode might solve the problem. Obviously, this doesn't preclude Corvette drivers from using the performance aspect of the PDR, and owners are free tape lap after lap at the track.
Chevrolet planning low-cost Corvette under Stingray?
Wed, 27 Feb 2013If you're burnt out on musings about the Chevrolet Corvette, you'll want to go ahead and skip this post. Motor Trend reports General Motors is hard at work on a low-cost version of the seventh-generation sports car for 2015. Rumored to be called the Corvette Coupe, the car will forgo the Stingray and skip the 450-horsepower 6.2-liter V8 engine in favor of a 5.3-liter V8 with under 400 ponies. If you're keeping track, that's a shade of the same engine found behind the headlights of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra.
The report also suggests the Coupe will receive a number of aesthetic tweaks to separate it from the Stingray, including different front and rear fascias as well as new front fenders and a rear diffuser. Motor Trend says the point of all this is to cut the car's price tag, which means we may see a Corvette on showroom floors for less than $50,000 if this car comes to fruition.
Watch how Corvette Racing's new collision-avoidance radar system works
Fri, 22 Mar 2013When it comes to technology used in racecars, we generally expect it to trickle down to production cars, not the other way around. Well, Pratt & Miller has developed a new rear-facing radar that operates in a similar fashion to what we're used to in modern blind spot detection systems, only it is also capable of tracking cars as they approach and relaying vital information to the driver via a large display screen.
The innovative radar system debuted at last weekend's 12 Hours of Sebring for Corvette Racing, and this system makes perfect sense for endurance races like this since the cars sometimes have to drive through the night and in poor weather conditions.
The radar can detect cars even with poor visibility, and uses easy-to-distinguish symbols for the driver to identify.
