1973 Chevelle Malibu Ss Colonnade Coupe 350 V8 Auto 10 Bolt Posi Swivel Buckets on 2040-cars
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! Price reduced to $14,900 Offers still considered! **************************************************************************************************************************************************** Additional pictures and a video of the engine running are available on our website.

Man surprises girlfriend with C7 Corvette
Mon, 07 Oct 2013How would you react if someone just showed up at your place of work with a new, 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, complete with all the trimmings? While a lot of us would likely be flipping out over the still rare sports car, it's a fair bet many more of us would be responding like Pattie here, whose boyfriend stopped by her work to show her her new C7.
Speechless and shocked as she seems, she does end up taking it out for a drive, despite claiming she wasn't really outfitted to handle the car's seven-speed manual transmission at the time. From the sound of the video, we got the impression that she knew the car was coming, just not that it was anywhere near ready for delivery. It also, as Pattie says, seems like her boyfriend is more excited about the car than she (which, can we blame him?). Take a look down below for the full video of this C7 Stingray delivery.
GM warning 800,000 owners that their cars may need oil changes more frequently than they say
Fri, 05 Apr 2013The days of changing your engine oil every 3,000 miles are long gone thanks to most cars having automatic oil monitoring systems, but about 800,000 General Motors vehicles apparently have incorrect monitoring software that is leading to premature engine component wear. According to Autoweek, certain 2010-2012 Buick LaCrosse, Regal, Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain models equipped with 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines could be going too long in between oil changes resulting in a higher-than-normal number of warranty claims for the engine's balance chain. The balance chain links the balance shaft to the crankshaft, and a worn one can produce higher noise levels.
As a fix, GM dealers will be reprogramming the software for the monitors in an effort to reduce the interval between oil changes, which varies based on driving habits and conditions. Through February 2015, the software update will be done at no cost to vehicle owners, but since this is not a recall, after that point, it will be up to the discretion of dealers as to whether or not they will charge for the service. What isn't immediately clear is whether GM plans on giving assistance to out-of-warranty customers who are experiencing engine issues from the worn chain.
Pushing Back: GM expanding Chevrolet into Korea, Daewoo out
Thu, 29 Apr 2010Chevrolet Camaro goes to South Korea - Click above for high-res image
General Motors decided several years ago to begin heavily promoting Chevrolet as its global mainstream brand even in markets where its existing brands like Opel and Daewoo were a dominant force. Today, at the Busan Motor Show in South Korea, GM Daewoo president Mike Arcamone announced that the Camaro would lead the way in GM's efforts to market Chevrolet in South Korea.
For now at least Chevrolet and Daewoo-branded vehicles will coexist in the Korean market. However, while we were in China last week GM officials told us that the Daewoo brand, which has been somewhat tainted by past quality issues, would eventually be phased out in favor of Chevrolet. When the new Aveo launches next year it will likely be badged as a Chevrolet even though GM Daewoo is in charge of engineering the car.
