1970 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu. This is a classic example of a highly sought icon for American Muscle. Largely unrestored, this car is ready for your body off resto, or a weekend in your garage to transform into the street and strip monster you always wanted. Not sure which direction you want to go yet? That's fine, she's ready for a weekend cruise to the beach or casual Friday at the office and is guaranteed to turn heads along the way.

She has a few dings and scratches, and the interior and exterior are in need of a cosmetic overhaul. This is not a restored, show ready car, and definitely not a track ready racer. It is a 43 year old daily driver, and while it is largely reliable, it does show some signs of its age.

Outside are some minor rust issues near the lower sections of the fender, small dents around the passenger side door, and a dent in the rear passenger faring near the trunk, and plastic trim around the taillights is beginning to break down. However, the body and frame are still solid.

Original front and rear benches, torn headliner, and the dash pad is cracked. The dash is original, including the gauges, and shows signs of age. The driver side door panel is worn, but intact. The rest of the interior is complete and assembled, the windows functional, heater and defroster blow hot air when you're ready for it, thanks to a brand new heater core and hoses; the ducts are clean, but aged, and the vents and pull knobs need repair or replacing. Currently there is no radio or stereo, but the wiring harness is in place and brand new, and ready for install.

In fact, the entire car has a brand new, custom wiring harness, complete with modern blade type fuse box installed in March 2013 by Hot Rods Speed & Custom of Norco, CA. The car is wired for a tach, which is currently not integrated in the dash. Also included are gauges for Voltage, Water Temp, Oil PSI, and Transmission Temp. They also included a basic wire set up to install a new stereo. Currently there is not a stereo installed in the car, nor is one included.

The motor is a crate GM 350 HO, Part #12366576, built 1979, currently believed to have approximately 260,000 miles, and still running strong. It has a brand new fuel lines, fuel pump, water pump, radiator starter, solenoid, alternator, and ignition, all installed this year. Brand new spark plugs and wires installed August 2013, and less than 100 miles driven. An Edelbrock 1407 Performer Carburetor sits on the manifold, topped off with a K&N High Flow air cleaner. Exhaust is routed through a pair of Patriot Shorty headers, into an Hpipe configuration, and exits a pair of Flowmaster 50's just in front of the rear axle with the crisp, distinctive rumble of V8 muscle; all courtesy of Scotty's Muffler in San Bernardino, CA. This car sounds mean, in the best of ways, and has the legs to match.

The Transmission is a 700R4 built to street and strip specs by Hubbe's Performance of Corona, CA and installed in August of 2012. It is guaranteed by Hubbe himself to hold together for up to 1000 HP, and thanks to an electronic lockup with a manual switch, cruising down the 5 freeway to San Diego at 85 mph is nearly effortless at a paltry 2000 RPM....with plenty of grunt to push it beyond 120. Not that I would know, of course.

Taking off at red lights is a blast, too, with tire chirping, snappy shifts from 1st to 2nd, and again from 2nd to 3rd, and all this is controlled with a bump of your wrist on the floor mounted B&M Quicksilver, that functions equally well as you ratchet through the gears manually or put it in drive and let it shift itself.

This tire spinning torque is contained by a CPP complete11" Front disc kit, installed with new front end and bushings in June 2005, and ball joints replaced in November 2012. The rear is still stopped with the drums, which will require attention before you hop on the freeway for a cruise, and sadly, so will the 336 10 bolt Posi rear end built and installed in Sept 2000 by The Gear Man in Garden Grove, CA.

She is supported by brand new shocks in the front and rear, and currently has air lines installed with the valve in the trunk if you choose to go back to an air ride system. She's got a full set of Rallye wheels with beauty rings and knock-off bowtie hubcaps; a brand new set of Nitto NT555R's in the back less than 6 months and 5,000 miles old, and a pair of Futura passenger car tires up front, approximately a year old with about 8,000 miles.

Included is paperwork, service records, and several manuals dating back at least 15 years, the GM spec book, and a Hollander's. Also included in the price are a pair of original Buckets that I had restored in leather and suede by Earl's of San Bernardino, valued at $1200.00.

This car is sold as is, with no warranty. While every reasonable effort is made to ensure the accuracy of the above information, any errors or omissions are unintentional. The buyer is responsible to verify any information in question with the seller.

Upon successful auction close, the buyer will assume full responsibility for this car, to include shipping; however, I will help and cooperate as much as I able to help you your dream car come home. I will require $500.00 USD of the purchase price upon auction close, and the remainder within 7 business days.

GM claims it's first to sell million 30+ mpg vehicles

Fri, 04 Jan 2013

As we continue to put together all the data for the year-end edition of By The Numbers, General Motors has announced that it sold more than a million vehicles in the US last year that achieved at least 30 miles per gallon on the highway. More impressively, GM managed this feat using multiple strategies including small vehicle size, turbocharged engines and hybrid or plug-in technologies across four brands (Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC) accounting for 13 separate models. This number will grow even more in 2013 thanks to cars like the all-electric Spark, the diesel Cruze, the range-extended Cadillac ELR and the Buick Encore compact CUV.
GM's small car sales were up 39 percent last year helping to attain this million-sales mark for 30-mpg models, and almost 40 percent of all GM sales consisted of cars with fuel-efficient I4 engines. In regards to more advanced means of improving fuel economy, GM says that it plans on having 500,000 vehicles with "some form of electrification" on the road by 2017.
Scroll down for the full list of GM's million 30+ mpg cars as well as an informative press release.

Chevy SS prototype spotted wearing Pontiac G8 clothes

Tue, 28 Aug 2012

Do not adjust your computer screen, you are not seeing the rebirth of the Pontiac brand. General Motors has chosen to use a G8 to disguise a test mule for the latest prototype of the forthcoming Chevrolet SS. The G8 was closely related to the Holden Commodore and Vauxhall VXR, the platform upon which the new Chevrolet performance model will be based. It should come as little surprise, then, that GM has opted to use the cladding from the former G8.
Thought the front clip of this mule is pure Pontiac, note the vents immediately behind the front wheel. That is a distinctive design hallmark of the Vauxhall VXR. Also note that this vehicle is right-hand drive, as the Holden and its Chevy counterpart will be very closely related. That likely includes potential drivetrains. The spy photos of this mule also reveal very wide rear tires, and rear wheels that do not match the fronts.

Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes

Wed, 31 Oct 2012

It seems the Pontiac Trans Am steadfastly refuses to die. Ever since Chevrolet was granted a retrofied Camaro to compete with the Ford Mustang, Pontiac lovers have lamented the loss of this 1970s icon. And, looking at the Hurst Edition from Trans Am Depot, shown here at the 2012 SEMA Show, may explain what all the fuss is about.
It's not going to appeal to everyone's muscle-car tastes, but there's certainly room for a brash-and-bold black-and-gold Special Edition in many a Trans Am lover's garage. After all, if you want the keys to a custom pony car, you'll certainly get noticed in this one. If this scheme isn't your bag,, you can alternatively order your Hurst Edition in white and gold or silver and black. Oh, and don't forget a color-coordinated Screaming Chicken on the hood.
No matter which way you choose to go, your inner Burt Reynolds will appreciate the Eibach suspension kit, forged wheels with Pirelli PZero tires, functional shaker hood, fender air extractors, rear spoiler and, of course, a Hurst shifter inside. The interior is emblazoned with all manner of special touches, including a Hurst dash plate and T/A stitching on the Katzkin two-tone leather seats.
