Up for sale is a REAL 1965 SS Malibu Convertible 138 vin car. In 1964 Pontiac introduced the GTO by stuffing a 389
into a Lemans and started the muscle car craze. So in 1965 Chevrolet had to find an answer, what they came up with
the Z16! There were 201 of them made, 200 hardtops and 1 convertible. That convertible was lost to history and if
ever found would be a priceless "1 of 1". This car was made to look like what the second one would have been.
It has a big block 454 in it and is a 4 speed. Featuring the power convertible top, woodgrain steering wheel, dash
mounted clock and the under dash Kleenex dispenser; all super rare options for the '65. It also has the same Z16
wheel covers in near perfect condition. I also hunted down and rebuilt the original number Holley carburetor that
came on the Z16. Both the transmission and motor were rebuilt before I bought it and have approximately 15,000 -
20,000 miles on them, although I do not have the documentation.
This car looks stunning in it's Teal Blue paint; with it's white top and interior, it's a perfect combination. If
you tried to build this car today, it would probably cost close to 100K. Especially if you were lucky enough to
find all the rare options this car has.
As in any 50 year old car there are a couple of minor things that will need to be tended to if you want to make it
perfect. The top drivers side latch for the convertible top is very thin metal, I would probably reinforce it with
a brace or add more metal to it. The rear window is made of real glass, not plastic and the zipper that goes around
the top has skipped a tooth. I had it priced to replace at a local interior shop for $125.

Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too
Fri, 07 Dec 2012We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.
Chevy shows much-improved 2014 Corvette interior in new video
Mon, 11 Feb 2013If you want a closer look at what went into designing and building the interior for the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette, we've got just the thing. General Motors has released a new video detailing the cabin's evolution from conception to execution, complete with commentary from Ryan Vaughn, performance car interior design manager with Chevrolet. The quick clip details how manufacturing, engineering and design within General Motors worked together from the first sketches to ensure no compromises had to be made later down the line. How novel.
With plenty of hides traced with contrast stitching and available real carbon fiber trim, the cabin looks to be a few hundred miles ahead of the C6. Given how readily critics derided the previous generation for its cabin, the C7 should make writers work a little harder to find something to complain about. Check out the video below for yourself.
Race Recap: 2013 Indianapolis 500 better than Bollywood; all the emotion, none of the music [spoilers]
Mon, 27 May 2013If the 2013 Indy 500 were a movie it would be the one expected to win all the little statues come awards season, and if it were an athlete it would have made spectators watch in awe as it broke record after record. And this kind of talk comes after last year's race was considered one of the best ever - the last lap hijinks in 2012 and Takuma Sato's crash leading to a podium ceremony straight out of a Golden Globes tearjerker.
But this year's race delivered more than anyone expected, from the 250,000 fans to the commentators to the IndyCar series itself and, finally, to the guy who hopped through a two-mile window on Lap 197 to take the lead and keep it until the end.
