1970 Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu 5.0l on 2040-cars
Mineral Point, Wisconsin, United States
|
I have for auction my 1970 307 V8 Chevelle Malibu. It has had a recent tune up that involved replacing the spark plugs, new radiator, oil change and cleaning and sealing of the gas tank, and seems to be good runner. This car has also had new coil springs put on in the back and was lowered 2 inches. This car was a hard top that someone cut the top off of due to roof damage. So it currently does not have a roof. Whoever chopped the top did what I would call a good job, as they left plenty of metal to put a new roof on, and a new roof is a fairly easy to find part that is also not overly expensive. This would be a really cool father son project. Also, you could chop it further and make a really cool custom. I planned to make a custom removable roof, but have too many other projects. This car was also a four door that was converted into a two door; the driver's side door is also fixed/ welded shut so I would call it a straight up one door. This was done by a previous owner some years ago for structural soundness, and it appears the car is straight and sound. It appears that all of the doors could be made operable. As for rust, the body panels have been patched in and primed, they definitely need finish work to be perfect but look pretty good. The frame and floors have the usual surface rust underneath but seem solid enough. There is rust through in the trunk. This car really turns heads and gets lots of thumbs up, and has been driven it throughout the midwest. Price reflects that I consider this a project car. Sold as is, and drive home at your risk please. A $500 non-refundable deposit is required by the winning bidder within 24 hours of auction closing. Remaining payment by paypal or cash in person. If you are a serious buyer and have questions I can be reached at 608 553-3412 weekday evenings before 10 PM central time, or on weekends.
Please read this description before bidding, and PLEASE do not bid unless you intend to buy. Thanks for looking. |

Why the Corvette's Performance Data Recorder can be illegal in some states
Fri, 26 Sep 2014The Performance Data Recorder with Valet Mode available on the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray seems like a fantastic tool for many owners. Whether they are taking 720p video while lapping the track in their new 'Vette, or just want to protect their purchase from inconsiderate joyriders, the system offers a lot of functionality in one package. However, one of the PDR's features might get buyers in trouble with the law, and it has nothing to do with recording some illicit high-speed driving on a favorite back road. The problem hinges on the various state laws concerning a person's right to privacy.
According to a letter posted by Jalopnik, Chevy dealers are asking 2015 Corvette owners not to use the Valet Mode portion of the PDR because it records audio in the cabin, in addition to performance specs. That's a problem because privacy laws vary from state to state with some requiring just one side's consent to tape sound and others requiring all parties to agree. According Jalopnik, 15 states mandate everyone's permission beforehand, but it's not clear whether these numbers are up to date. (Actually, the report varies, saying 13 states in some places and 15 in a list.)
According to the letter, Chevy is already working on a software update for the near future to rectify the issue. It's possible that simply adding a warning to drivers and the ability to turn off the audio recording function in Valet Mode might solve the problem. Obviously, this doesn't preclude Corvette drivers from using the performance aspect of the PDR, and owners are free tape lap after lap at the track.
Why Cadillac thinks it needs to succeed in Europe to sell cars elsewhere
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Ward's Auto has taken an interesting look at the renewed focus General Motors is showing towards Cadillac in Europe. Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet and Cadillac in Europe (pictured), says in order for the luxury brand to thrive in China, it first needs to succeed in the old country. The reason? Chinese buyers look to Europe for cues as to what's deemed worthy of the term "luxury." There are hurdles to the plan, however. In addition to the fact that the EU is flooded with high-end nameplates, GM doesn't necessarily have the distribution network in place to put buyers behind the wheel.
Combine that with persistent economic woes and Cadillac's checkered past marred by a lack of diesel engine options and a bankrupt distributor, and the road ahead for the brand looks like less of an uphill climb and more like a straight-up cliff face. But Docherty is optimistic and says she has a plan for the brand. We recommend heading over to Ward's for a closer look at the full read.
Steve McQueen's last movie car, now Pawn Stars-owned, up for auction [w/video]
Sun, 03 Feb 2013The last car Steve McQueen ever drove in a movie is officially up for auction. The 1951 Chevrolet Styline DeLuxe Convertible you see above is now owned by none other than Rick Harrison of Pawn Stars fame, but once ferried McQueen around the set of his last film, 1980's The Hunter. That flick saw the Bullit star play a bumbling bounty hunter and didn't exactly set the box office on fire. McQueen bought the car after production wrapped, and four years later it sold at his estate sale at the Imperial Palace in Las Vegas.
Flash forward to 2003, and the convertible received a full restoration back to near-stock specifications. Hagerty Insurance estimates the car to be worth around $45,000 without the significant providence. Given its ties to one of film's most popular gearheads, the old Chevrolet could fetch up to 10 times that when it goes under the gavel in Ft Luaderdale, Florida on March 22. You can head over to the Auctions America site for more information. You can also check out the trailer for The Hunter below.
