1969 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu 6.5l on 2040-cars
Orlando, Florida, United States
|
This car is a custom street rod. I bought the car in daily driver condition, a Malibu with a 307 engine and 3 speed manual transmission. The car was originally form Oregon and was purchased in California, where it had been for many years. It was restored over a several year period in a frame on restoration. Most of the components used were all new and top of the line. A pro motor builder built up the 502 crate motor with top components, Dart heads, roller cam, racing carb, MSD Ignition, electric fuel pump, etc. The Turbo 400 Automatic transmission was built by Art Carr. A twelve bolt rear end was sourced and loaded with new gears. The drive shaft was built new for the car, as were the brakes and most of the other running gear. All these items have about 7k miles on them since installation. All the SS components were found and installed, including the gauges. A fiberglass hood based on the 1969 Z28 Camaro was sourced and installed, as I always loved that look. A custom coil over suspension was installed in the rear to increase traction and allow the use of wider tires without modifying the body or frame. Custom chrome SS wheels were purchased. The car was painted by a pro with high end European paint, base coat /clear coat. It looks stunning in person. The interior is original and very good for 45 years old, but no longer pristine. This is not an original collector car. It is a custom built street rod for driving. It is extremely fast, producing at least 600 horsepower. It is very exciting to drive, and turns heads wherever it goes. My reserve and buy it now price are well below the cost to produce this machine. I have some extensive records of the original car, and most receipts for the components I put in. I change the oil annually or more and the coolant as required.

Chevrolet Camaros at SEMA are a mobile accessory catalog
Wed, 06 Nov 2013Chevy's goal at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas this week seems to be to show as much of its Performance and Accessories catalog as possible. That's why it brought three different Camaros - two with V8s and one powered by a V6 - with all of the best goodies from the catalog already fitted.
We gave a more in-depth recap of the Performance Camaro V8 Concept, the Performance Camaro V6 Concept and the Performance Garage Concept already, but we figured you'd like a short recap for each. It should be noted, though, that you can order all of the items you see here for your own Camaro, so be sure to take a long, hard look at our live galleries, just in case you're in the market for some mods.
Essentially, the Performance Garage Concept and the Performance V8 Concept are the same car - the only difference is that the later features a whole host of aesthetic tweaks in addition to its aftermarket, shorty exhaust headers and 2.75-inch exhaust. (The Performance Garage Concept has been usefully placed on its side; the better to see the new parts added to the vehicle.) The Performance V6 Concept is notable because, despite being a V6, there's no shortage of performance goodies fitted. All three of the Performance Camaros benefit from items from the Camaro ZL1, which can also be ordered through the catalog.
This is your 2014 Chevrolet SS
Sat, 16 Feb 2013Think you've waited long enough for this? If so, then you'll want to savor the high-res photos we've so far been given of the 2014 Chevrolet SS, the first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan from The Bowtie in 17 years.
We all know its our version of the brand new VF-model Holden Commodore, but what's under the hood that earns the appellation "performance?" A 6.2-liter LS3 V8 engine producing 415 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque. That's 35 hp and lb-ft less than the same engine is expected to produce in the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette. Chevrolet says the sedan will get from 0-to-60 miles per hour "in about five seconds."
Shifting comes courtesy of a six-speed automatic with paddles on the steering wheel, while stopping arrive via four-piston Brembo calipers up front, a single sliding piston in back. The forged aluminum wheels are 19-inchers all around, each set supporting right around 50 percent of the sedan's weight, and the aluminum hood and trunk are meant to keep the center of gravity low.
