1973 Chevelle Mailibu Beautifully Restored - No Reserve on 2040-cars

Year:1973 Mileage:53472
Location:

 This is a ready to drive 1973 Chevy Malibu Chevelle that has recently completed a continuous restoration.  Body has been restored and repainted about 5-7 years ago.  She is straight with little to no bondo. 

Motor has been rebuilt with a mild cam. Rear end is Posi, not sure of the gear but it's either 3:83 or 4:10. 

Edlebrock Carb and intake.

MSD electronic ignition, headers and stainless exhaust just completed.  Quiet, yet throaty, she is a total sleeper, not rocket ship fast but fast enough for everyday use, cruisin' or just having fun.

Interior excellent

Not a concours restoration but is very respectable and presents well at any car show.  Just an all around great vehicle.

I purchased this vehicle from a friend who had just completed the car, ran into some hardship and needed money quick.  I bailed him out and I'm just looking to recoup my money.  I drove this car around in the fall and found in to be a good runner, drives straight, good rubber, very reliable and a head turner.  This classic would make a great first car or a great collector.

Contact me with questions.  THERE IS NO RESERVE ON THIS VEHICLE.  YOU BID ON IT AND WIN YOU WILL BE VERY HAPPY.  The listing price is very fair and is listed for way less than half of what has been put into this car and will only go up once the weather breaks here in the frozen tundra!

 I reserve the right to pull this vehicle off listing at any time as it for sale locally. 

Thanks for looking!

2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible gives us a couple of looks

Sat, 02 Mar 2013

Put away your pixel paintbrushes, kids. Pack up your Photoshop. This is the real-deal 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible in its first official images. The droptop Chevrolet will roll into the bright lights of the Palexpo exhibition at next week's Geneva Motor Show, a four-wheeled statement of intent that General Motors is serious about taking its Corvette franchise global.
Chevy isn't providing anything in the way of further details with these two shots, but we've learned at least a couple of things about the car shown here. First off, the example seen in these images is fitted with the optional Z51 Performance Package - something that isn't immediately evident because there's no sign of the coupe model's prominent ductwork on its rear haunches. In order to accommodate the power folding hard tonneau cover, the vents that feed the transmission and differential coolers have been relocated to the underside of the car. The dark paint color on this example also does a good job of muting the contrasting black front fender vents and hood opening - Z51-spec design details that have proven to be somewhat controversial.
One other thing to note: These two shots also display the Stingray wearing different alloy wheels than the split five-spoke design shown at the hardtop's Detroit Auto Show unveiling in January. The simpler, thin five-spoke wheels should do a good job of showing off the Z51's upgraded brakes, and they'll be optional on the coupe as well.

Experimental mid-engine XP-819 Corvette going up for auction

Sun, 17 Feb 2013

It seems to be commonplace that when a new Corvette is in development, rumors swirl about a possible mid-engine layout. As is the case of Chevy's most recent C7 Corvette, these rumors never pan out.
In any case, the idea for a 'Vette with an engine mounted behind the driver can probably all be traced back to a single car, the 1964 XP-819 prototype. Built as an "engineering exercise" back in 1964, the prototype was designed with a rear-mounted engine. History tells us that the idea of a rear-engine Corvette fizzled, and the XP-819 was eventually cut up into pieces and stored at a shop in Daytona Beach, FL.
After sitting for untold years, a restoration project started on the car, and while it isn't yet fully completed, the current owner of the car, Mid America Motorworks, will have the car on display at the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance as a "driveable chassis" with hopes of having a fully completed car ready to bring to next year's show.
