This is a 1970 Malibu that originally had a small block engine from the factory. I have 2 factory build sheets that go with the car. I planned to make a fun driver out of it so I could having something to enjoy while doing my frame off restorations but I ended up getting a 1970 Firebird driver and I don't have a need to keep them both. This is a project that was started by the previous owner in 2003 when he bought it out of Tennessee and did the motor build. He did the break in on the motor but he never finished the build and got it on the road.

If I keep the car I am going to replace the painless wiring with American Autowire, Replace the quarters with full quarters (has skins on it now) and do a 1 piece trunk pan.The car has a partial trunk pan in it now but they didn't completely remove the old one so for a show car I would do the trunk(it's solid and rust free just not factory looking).

It has a factory flat hood with a fiberglass cowl hood on it in the pictures, It comes with a brand new Dyncacorn steel cowl hood as well. If you have any questions about the car or need more pictures send me a message and I will be more than happy to give you the information you request. Car has clear Ohio title in my name.

PC Automotive(Oberlin, OH) built 454 with forged crank and KB pistons redone from the heads down to the Milidon high capacity pan. Comp Hi-Engergy Cam lifters and springs, New starter, alternator, billet brackets and pulleys, billet air cleaner and valve covers, HEI, Taylor performance wires, March pulleys. New Edelbrock 750 with electric choke Pretty much everything on the motor is brand new aside from the gm block and heads. Edelbrock rebuildable fuel pump. Engine shop build sheet/Full build specs available

New TCI TH400 transmission with brand new converter and flywheel. Stainless trans cooler lines. Hurst ratchet shifter.

I pulled the radiator and sent it to a shop to get cleaned and pressure checked. It's perfect. I also flushed the cooling system due to the car sitting, I don't take chances. I also installed a brand new gas tank, flushed the lines and installed a new Edelbrock Carb and new fuel filter. With a brand new engine I don't want to risk putting bad gas through it.

Professionally Rebuilt 12 bolt posi with new eaton posi, new 3.55:1 gears and new superior forged axles. Rear drums have been serviced with new spring kit and wheel cylinders Front Disk brake kit with power booster/master. Looks like a high quality kit (maybe SS brakes or Powermaster brakes) Frame is rock solid with all energy suspension poly bushings. paint is faded and isn't show quality but it's not all rusty either. New Hotchkiss rear trailing links and brace. Over sized sway bars front and rear. New tie rods, ball joints, idler arm. Power steering.

Painless wiring harness is installed but needs cleaned up and wires shortened.

New Flowmaster mandrel bent exhaust with H pipe

Fenders, inner fenders, radiator support, doors, rockers, roof, window channels all look excellent Stainless Trim needs polished and some of the pieces have dents.

Interior needs dash pad top and dash wiring cleaned up. Has a very nice original rear seat, new Scat Procar seats up front. New door panels and interior quarter panels. headliner is new but needs stretched and re-glued. Carpet is new. All the fluids have been replaced with new fluids - Brake, antifreeze, power steering

The car has been sitting for about a month so the battery needs charged and it needs gas but the car does start, run and drive but will need to be trailered because the brakes are soft, it needs a front end alignment due to all the steering components being new and the engine will need some minor tuning(idles great!) since it is a new motor with less than a mile of driving around the industrial parkway. It also is leaking oil from the back of the engine, so that will need to be fixed. It is a a great winter project that you can either put a little bit of time into this winter and have a fun reliable car to cruise next spring or go all out and do a trunk panel, quarters and full paint job. The car is a solid car and I took pictures from every angle I can think of. If you have any questions or need additional pictures I am more than willing to do what I can.

2014 Chevrolet Malibu gets more torque, more room and inspiration from the Impala

Fri, 31 May 2013

The 2014 Chevrolet Malibu, having stared at the Impala across the showroom floor for a year, gets nips and tucks all over inspired by its larger brother. The 2.5-liter four-cylinder in the base car will get a stop-start system and 23 city miles per gallon, 35 highway, each number representing a one-mpg improvement over the 2013 car. Output is 196 horsepower and 186 pound-feet of torque.
Opt for the 2.0-liter turbo and, while power holds steady at 259 hp, torque goes up by 14 percent to a striking 295 lb-ft (a figure Chevy calls best in the class). The final details include newly programmed transmission shift points and faster shifts, for better engaging and enjoying the added power.
Looks-wise, the grille's been reshaped to be more in line with the new Chevrolet look, a narrower upper grille hovering over a larger lower grille.

Why Cadillac thinks it needs to succeed in Europe to sell cars elsewhere

Tue, 26 Feb 2013

Ward's Auto has taken an interesting look at the renewed focus General Motors is showing towards Cadillac in Europe. Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet and Cadillac in Europe (pictured), says in order for the luxury brand to thrive in China, it first needs to succeed in the old country. The reason? Chinese buyers look to Europe for cues as to what's deemed worthy of the term "luxury." There are hurdles to the plan, however. In addition to the fact that the EU is flooded with high-end nameplates, GM doesn't necessarily have the distribution network in place to put buyers behind the wheel.
Combine that with persistent economic woes and Cadillac's checkered past marred by a lack of diesel engine options and a bankrupt distributor, and the road ahead for the brand looks like less of an uphill climb and more like a straight-up cliff face. But Docherty is optimistic and says she has a plan for the brand. We recommend heading over to Ward's for a closer look at the full read.

GM already raising prices on 2014 Silverado and Sierra pickups

Mon, 14 Oct 2013

General Motors must be pretty pleased with sales of its two newest pickups, the GMC Sierra and Chevrolet Silverado, as it's announced price hikes for both models, as part of a planned price tweak.
Prices will be bumped by as much as $1,500, although weirdly, they'll be offset by as much as $1,500 in cash-back offers through the end of October. Fox Business reports that GM spokesman Jim Cain said of the price hike, "With the sell down of the '13 models nearly complete, this price adjustment was planned and is a normal part of business."
The move, as Fox is quick to point out, is an interesting one, as sales of the twin pickups struggled last month relative to the Ford F-Series, while both of GM's crosstown competitors have been aggressively undercutting Silverado and Sierra prices. The F-150 starts at $24,070 and the Ram 1500 comes in at $23,600, not counting any cash on the hood. A base Silverado, meanwhile, retails at $25,575.
