Sterling, Illinois, United States
1973 Chevelle Malibu SS Colonnade Coupe
The third generation Chevelle (73-77) had the most extensive
redesign in its 10-year history. With it marked the introduction of the
newly named Colonnade Hardtop which featured a semi fastback roofline,
frameless door glass and fixed styled "B" pillars. Rear windows on
coupes no longer opened and the front and rear ends looked quite
different as 1973 was the first year of the federally mandated 5 mph
bumpers. Other firsts with the third generation were the 22 gallon fuel
tank, swivel bucket seats (coupes only) and it also boasted increased
interior and cargo space as well as better visibility. The newly
designed Chevelle also had a completely redesigned chassis which enabled
it handle significantly better than its predecessor and was ultimately
considered to be an exceptional driver’s car. This particular example
was nicely optioned with a 350 V8 engine, a Turbo Hydramatic
transmission, a 10 bolt posi rear end, the coveted SS package and is
accompanied by a build sheet for verification. It currently has 89,310
original miles. It was repainted in its original colors of Tuxedo Black
and Silver back in 2003 and it still shows very well. The interior is
completely original and ha held up incredibly well. The original 14”
rally rims were replaced with 15” billet aluminum rally rims that look
awesome but the originals are included. The carb was replaced with a
650cfm Edelbrock 4 barrel and it has an aftermarket stereo. You will
also notice that the valve covers and air cleaner have been replaced
with chrome ones but the originals are also included. Other than the
previously mentioned items, the performance exhaust and the battery this
car is all original. Based on the very low production numbers for this
year and the overall condition of this car it is priced to move!

GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable
Fri, 21 Sep 2012General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
2014 Chevrolet Malibu gets more torque, more room and inspiration from the Impala
Fri, 31 May 2013The 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.
Helicopter crashes on Top Gear Korea set while chasing Corvette ZR1
Mon, 11 Feb 2013The formula of Top Gear Korea is seemingly about the same as it is everywhere else in the world, including the flagship British original: involve interesting cars in fantastical situations with charismatic hosts. That prescription has proved to be pretty reliable over the years, and has lead to some truly memorable and exciting pieces of television.
Something like that was undoubtedly what the Korean producers were after when they lined up this segment - a drag race between a Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 and an AH1 Cobra military helicopter. The planners almost certainly did not expect the filming of the segment to go quite as wrong as it actually did, with the helicopter actually crashing into the dirt after the "drag race" had been completed. Thankfully, we're told that no one was seriously injured in the crash, but the footage, in the video below, is pretty damn chilling to watch, nevertheless.
