this is an original bucket seat with console car. I will list the trim tag info when I can so
anyone can verify that. This car
does have Air Conditioning for anyone that wants to get it up and working. I
see it’s missing some pieces. This car has
an older restoration going back about 28 years or so. I bought this car last year from a gentleman
who has had the car since about 1985,
just about 30 years ago. I am
looking to put the funds in another place so someone is going to win a nice old
chevy that with some work will be very nice. This car is
what I call a driving project. You can do as you wish to it as you go. The car will
need a radio. It doesn’t look like the holes have been altered. The dash
pad has a crack. The glove box doesn’t like to stay closed. And the emergency brake and
horn are inop. The heater blower does work but the levers are stif. It has a
real nice looking inside. Some accelerator hesitation mostly when cold,
possibly the choke. The parking lights
work as well as the headlights, tail lights, wipers and signals. I also see
last week when I took it around the block it has some brake pulsation. The brakes
do work ok as I had some brake work done last year. The car
looks to have just about all it’s original sheet metal. The paint still has a nice shine but does
have some flaws but nothing major. For perfection you may want to paint it. The
body underneath is just about as solid as I’ve seen in years.(as pictured) I was
told it had a replacement trunk floor put in it years ago. I see one the rear body mounts look very nice
and solid with one loose bolt.That still looks nice. The chrome on the car especially the bumpers
still has a real nice high shine and
look very decent. It has a real nice sounding V8 that I believe is a 327. Some numbers I found on the motor are T0820GF for those who may want to verify that. It also has a dual exhaust that isn't real old and sounds really sweet. The transmission is a powerglide that shifts good.
The mileage reads 52,176 which I can only assume has been over with it's age. All in all this will make a real nice toy for someone.
It's not often you can find an old Malibu that hasn't been owned by a number of gearheads that have pounded it to death. This one can be dialed in just the way you want it and be a nice nice 48 year old collector car !! NO RESERVE
AUCTION !! Full payment
can be made in a check but will take I’m told by my bank about 10 working days
to fully clear the banking system so the car will be held along with the
paperwork until fully cleared. If paid in cash in person or a bank to bank wire
there would be no hold. The vehicle is
sold as is cond. Connecticut uses the
registration and title as one. Ownership
transfer is done on the reverse side in the buyers section. A bill of sale will also come with it. Any
questions please let me know. thanks On Apr-14-14 at 08:16:53 PDT, seller added the following information: FOR THOSE WHO ASKED THE TRIM TAG LOOKS TO READ

I have been under the car to look and the pans look original and look very solid. unless I missed something I don't see any bad areas. Feel free to come and inspect the car yourself or send an inspection co. if that's easier. thanks On Apr-16-14 at 11:01:17 PDT, seller added the following information: THANKS FOR THE HUGE RESPONSE. I HAVE HAD A FEW QUESTIONS ASKING ABOUT THE PAINT. AS I WROTE THE PAINT IS PROBABLY 25 YEARS OR SO OLD. IT DOES STILL HAVE A REAL NICE SHINE BUT DOES HAVE SOME FLAWS FROM AGE HERE AND THERE. BUT FOR THE MOST PART STILL SHOWS VERY NICE. THE BODY ALSO SHOWS PRETTY STRAIGHT. IT'S NOT A REAL WAVY CAR LIKE SOME. THANKS On Apr-19-14 at 19:37:27 PDT, seller added the following information: Thanks to all the people I've spoken to and those who took the time to look at the car. I have had some very fair offers but think at this point since it's a no reserve auction I should let it run to the end out of fairness. Thanks |

Chevy monitors drivers' biometrics while experiencing new Corvette Stingray
Fri, 25 Oct 2013We tell you about what a car is like to drive every day, remarking on throttle response, steering weight and feedback, squat, dive, brake fade and a dozen or more other factors of performance. What we can't tell you, though, is what the car does to us - how its performance impacts us, physically. That's what makes this video series from Chevrolet so darn cool.
The Bow-Tie brand rented out Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch, got several (very) different individuals together, strapped a bunch of sensors to their bodies to record biometric data ranging from heart rate to respiration to brain activity, and then handed them keys to the new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. The results are explained in a series of videos, devoted to each driver, showing how different people react to the Corvette's performance.
If, like your author, you're a nerd for medical science, this is going to be a fascinating set of videos. If not, it's still pretty cool to see how the body of someone with racing experience, like Gran Turismo creator Kazunori Yamauchi, reacts to tracking a car like the Corvette Stingray compared to the owner of legendary Detroit barbecue joint, Slows BBQ. Take a look below for all six videos from the series, or hop over to the Corvette Vimeo channel for the interactive experience, where you can see all the different metrics.
Experimental mid-engine XP-819 Corvette going up for auction
Sun, 17 Feb 2013It seems to be commonplace that when a new Corvette is in development, rumors swirl about a possible mid-engine layout. As is the case of Chevy's most recent C7 Corvette, these rumors never pan out.
In any case, the idea for a 'Vette with an engine mounted behind the driver can probably all be traced back to a single car, the 1964 XP-819 prototype. Built as an "engineering exercise" back in 1964, the prototype was designed with a rear-mounted engine. History tells us that the idea of a rear-engine Corvette fizzled, and the XP-819 was eventually cut up into pieces and stored at a shop in Daytona Beach, FL.
After sitting for untold years, a restoration project started on the car, and while it isn't yet fully completed, the current owner of the car, Mid America Motorworks, will have the car on display at the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance as a "driveable chassis" with hopes of having a fully completed car ready to bring to next year's show.
2014 Chevy Cruze Diesel arrives with 42 mpg for $25,695*
Thu, 07 Feb 2013The last time General Motors had a diesel passenger car in the US, it was the 1.8-liter 1986 Chevette. At the 2013 Chicago Auto Show today, GM is unveiling the much-anticipated 2014 Chevrolet Cruze Diesel. The compact bows with a 2.0-liter turbo-diesel four-cylinder engine that boasts 148 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, with full twist coming on at just 2,000 rpm. What's more, the common-rail, direct-injection diesel features an overboost function that allows the engine to deliver up to 280 lb-ft of torque for 10 seconds at a time. Even with 10 more horsepower and 110 more pound-feet of torque than the available turbocharged 1.4-liter four-cylinder in the Cruze, the 2.0-liter diesel engine can return up to 42 mpg (highway) bolted to its six-speed automatic transmission.
If you're counting, that figure meets the less powerful Cruze Eco with a six-speed manual transmission. More importantly, the auto transmission Cruze Diesel matches its main competition, the Volkswagen Jetta TDI, in highway fuel economy. The Cruze 2.0 TD (as it will be badged) can also handle up to 20 percent biodiesel (B20), whereas the Jetta is rated only for B5. General Motors has not released city fuel economy for its newest diesel, but we do know how much it will cost you to jump behind the driver's seat.
GM will kindly ask for $25,695, plus an $810 destination fee. That marks a $2,115 premium over a loaded Cruze LTZ Auto and $2,640 more than the Jetta TDI, though the MSRP will net you a leather interior, 17-inch alloy wheels and an Aero Performance Package, as well as a two-year maintenance plan and five-year, 100,000-mile powertrain warranty. Compared to the gas-powered Cruze, you also lose a couple cubic feet of rear cargo space thanks to a 17-liter diesel emission fluid tank. That urea fluid, which helps put the clean in clean diesel, will need to be refilled at least every 10,000 miles.
