1972 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu Hardtop 2-door 5.7l Project Pro Touring Car on 2040-cars
Leland, North Carolina, United States
|
This is an excellent project car that unfortunately I do not have time to complete. Classic Chevy muscle car ready for a new home.
Suspension/Engine/Transmission: Car has many upgrades to the suspension; I was aiming to complete the Chevelle in a Pro touring style. The car features Hotchkis suspension package with Eibach springs, Jegs 12 bolt, 3.73 posi rear end. Crate small block Chevy 350 with Edelbrock 64cc heads, Edelbrock Super Victor manifold, 700R4 transmission, Holley carburetor. Both engine and transmission have less than 2,000 miles and were removed from a Monte Carlo. New brakes with disc brake upgrade, new tires/wheels. New brake master cylinder also is included. Body/Frame/Glass: Car features a completely refurbished frame. Also, I have purchased a complete stainless hardware kit for the car which is included. The body was removed and the frame was blasted, repaired, laser aligned and repainted. All glass is original with the exception of the rear window which was purchased new. Both fenders are new and installed on car; wheel wells are included. Driver door is original and is in good condition and I purchased a new passenger door (hinges for both have been rebuilt and installed). Car comes with brand new front and rear bumpers and also a new fiberglass cowl style hood (with correct hood springs installed). I also have a new trunk lid that is on the car currently. I will note that there is corrosion on the body, specifically on the front windshield sill, and quarter panels that will need to be tended to (see pictures) however the car is originally a Tennessee car and is in good condition otherwise. The floor pan has very minor corrosion with a few small holes. I have patch panels I purchased which come with the car. The trunk pan has already been entirely replaced. The front clip is entirely new/refurbished with an aluminum radiator, and all other parts blasted and repainted. I also have a new gas tank. If you have any questions about the condition of the body or any other part of this car, please don't hesitate to ask! Various: I have many, many extra parts for this car. At least two complete air conditioning units with associated vacuum hoses, at least three gauge clusters, two sets of front light buckets, all the chrome needed for the front lights and various chrome trim pieces from the original car. As shown above, the Chevelle has many upgrades and is very close to being a fast, road ready cruiser. The car only needs grille, body work, various interior/trim parts, and some time to bring this Chevelle to showroom condition. I have well over the listed price into this car but am looking to clear out the garage for summer. Please feel free to give me reasonable offers. If you have any questions at all about the car or would like additional pictures of any portion of the car in particular, please just ask! Buyer assumes responsibility for pickup or delivery. Thanks for reading! |

UAW to vote on strike at Kentucky Corvette plant
Tue, 08 Apr 2014The current wait time for a new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is well, not short. With word of a strike at the Bowling Green, KY factory responsible for seventh-generation sports car, though, that wait time could end up growing substantially.
Now, a strike is still a ways off. UAW Local 2164, which represents the 800 workers responsible for screwing the Corvette together, is set to vote on authorizing a strike today, but even if the employees give the action a go, it's far from a sure thing. According to The Tennessean, both regional and national union officials would need to put their stamp of approval on strike action.
"The membership has to vote to strike, but it's just a step in the process," said Gary Casteel, the UAW's Region 8 director and one of the people that would need to authorize a strike action. Casteel told The Tennessean, "It's purely a local situation, though. They are having some issues with the local management."
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.
Diesel Power finds the ultimate modified oil-burner
Sat, 24 Aug 2013For nine years, Diesel Power magazine has run the Diesel Power Challenge, this year's grindfest being "a week-long torture test that features seven events, nine trucks, 8,000 horsepower, and nearly 15,000 pound-feet of torque." The road to being crowned "the most powerful truck" starts with a dyno run, and then continues through the completion of a CDL-style obstacle course, an eighth-of-a-mile drag race while towing a 10,000-pound trailer, a quarter-mile drag race without a trailer, a fuel economy test in the mountains and finally a sled-pulling test through a 300-foot-long packed-mud pit.
What kind of trucks get into such a fight? Last year's winner, for instance - who upgraded his truck this year to prove he didn't "luck into the win" - drives a 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty with a 6.4-liter Power Stroke V8 upgraded with a custom intake, Elite Diesel triple turbos and a two-stage nitrous system. Another competitor has a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 powered by a 5.9-liter Cummins inline-six, upgraded with Garrett turbos, dual-stage nitrous, a seven-inch exhaust stack and twin fans built into the bed to cool the Sun Coast Omega transmission. The numbers on that truck: 1,255 horsepower, and 2,063 pound-feet of torque at the wheels. Naturally, as the image above might suggest, things don't always end well.
You'll find all five videos covering this years challenge below. A scene in the dyno video sums it all up perfectly: a competitor leaves his nitrous on too long and the crew is treated to some ominous poppings, he leans out the window, throws both hands up and shouts, "Amer'ca!"
