Regretfully, we are selling our 1959 Chevrolet Kingswood Wagon with rear-facing third row seat.  Rare straight, unmolested body.  So pretty.  Not chopped or altered, though this is not a stock vehicle.  It has a Chevy 350 engine that I have never run the serial number on.  It has an aluminum automatic tranny from a 1961 Chevy Impala, not the cast-iron original which was a dog to work on.  Runs great.  Seatbelts installed on all three rows, so she’s very kid friendly.  My plan was to install a crate engine and tranny, but it didn’t work out.

That said, there’s nothing wrong with what’s inside right now.  I’ve driven this thing the length of California and find it a trustworthy vehicle when toting up to 9 kids in this beautiful beast!

Here are the issues: Speedometer, gas gauge (needs sending unit), radio, horn.  All three controls work for back window, but it seems to be getting hung up on the runners, which need to be replaced.  But that little motor is just fine.  Oh, ashtray keeps falling open.

The interior is in great shape, BUT they used Impala material to complete.  The good news is that they did a great job (try to find original Kingswood upholstery).  At least they kept it in the family.

Paint is in very good shape, though there are some chips; very pretty.  No rust holes in floor.  Floor is solid, even in the third row.  All seats collapse as intended into a huge cargo area.  All glass is perfect.

We will be adding engine and interior pics sooner than later along with some additional info.

A great ride and a real head turner; this is a beautiful car that needs some TLC.  But, not much, really.  A rare offering, particularly in this condition.

Inspections are welcome.  Buyer arranges shipping.  We will cooperate on this end to help pick-up go smoothly.

We reserve the right to end this listing before end date as vehicle is for sale locally and featured in other media.  Vehicle is sold AS IS.  No warranty.  PLEASE ask your questions in time for us to answer them.

Chevrolet Malibu gets across-the-board price cuts, hopes to dig out of slump

Mon, 11 Feb 2013

To say that things aren't going well for the newly redesigned 2013 Chevrolet Malibu is a pretty sizable understatement. Reports have been swirling about the Malibu getting an emergency design refresh, less than a year after its introduction, as well as having its production at the Fairfax Assembly Plant halted twice already this year for excessive inventory. Now, Motor Trend is reporting that the midsize sedan will be receiving price drops across the board ranging from $300 on a number of models up to $770 on the 1LT trim; offsetting some of MSRP drop, though, the destination charge has increased from $760 to $810.
Without destination, the entry-level Malibu LS now starts at $21,995, which is still about $300 more than a Honda Accord and about $300 less than the segment's top-selling Toyota Camry. This new pricing also drops the price of the Eco, 2LT and 3LT trims by $300. The LTZ trim has dropped by $415, meaning that the Malibu's top dog now starts at just under $30,000, excluding destination.
Here are the new starting prices for all eight of the Malibu trim levels compared to the previous prices for the 2013 model year (including destination):

The 2014 Chevrolet SS sedan is for drivers who value performance above all else

Sat, 16 Feb 2013

The car you see above is the 2014 Chevrolet SS, and it's important both because it is the first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan from Chevy in 17 years, and because it will be the nameplate the brand uses on NASCAR tracks all across the country starting this year.
Though it wears a name as American as baseball and apple pie, the machine was actually designed and built in Australia, sharing most of its parts with the brand-new VF-model Holden Commodore. That said, the basic chassis bits are shared with other Chevrolet models like the Camaro and Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle.
While Chevrolet is happy to sell a Malibu or Impala to anyone looking for a mainstream family sedan, but the SS is reserved for buyers interested first and foremost in performance. Most sedans sold these days are front-wheel drive, which is great for everyday driving and when the weather goes bad, but the SS is instead a rear-wheel-drive vehicle aimed at enthusiasts who love to drive and who prefer speed and performance above all else.

Are you the 2014 Corvette Grand Sport?

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

When are stripes more than just stripes? Follow up question: Is the product development team at Chevrolet really cocky enough to hide the next C7 Corvette variant in plain sight? This very recently spotted, and ostensibly obscured C7 asks a lot more questions than it answers, but there's at least some evidence to support that it might be the next Corvette Grand Sport.
The first and most obvious tip-off that something is up with this 'Vette revolves around those silver stripes. Obviously the stripes themselves don't necessarily denote a new model. However, when Chevy recently launched its "colorizer" website for the Stingray, there was no provision made for racing stripes - solid colors only.
Grand Sport exhibit number two is actually an incriminating lack of badges. The production Corvettes we've seen to date have all carried Stingray badges on their fenders, just behind the vent. The car seen in these images has no such badges, which is an intriguing omission on an car that looks like a production-spec vehicle otherwise.
