1972 Chevelle on 2040-cars
Hollywood, Florida, United States
|
This is a one owner original Florida Chevelle Malibu. This is the perfect car for restoration, it has all original sheet metal. Floors and trunk pan are both rust free and has the original specal paint in trunk still intact. The quarter panels are nice at the very bottom of the driver side rear quarter there is a quarter size rust bubble that will need some attention other then that the body is solid. The front fenders have both have two small 2 inch holes that i cut out and didn't get around to repairing. The body is very straight i blocked it about 3 times to work out all of the small dents and dings however i was saving the 3 small welds for last but never got around to it.
What i did so far:
powder coated the radiator support.
sanded and painted the engine bay sema satin hot rod black
i purchased some used bucket seats in nice condition
i converted the brakes to disc all the way around just need to run the lines ( all conversion brackets are installed)
The 14inc brakes are from a 2012 z06 has 6 pistons in the front and 4 in the rear.
the stock tires will not fit over the disc so i had to take the disc off but i have everything labeled for easy install once bigger rims are installed.
brakes conversion alone is worth 4k.
Basically selling because i have had this car for about 4 years and i'm getting know where fast.
most of the origainal chrome and body parts are with the car and in good condition; seats, hood, fenders, bumpers etc.
I have the original title and paper work that came with the car from 1972.
i'm asking $6500 car is also for sale locally so if interested send me a message to set a time to check it out in person

New Bright creating exclusive 1:8 scale radio-controlled C7 Corvette
Mon, 04 Feb 2013If you want a new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette but can't quite save up enough pennies for the monthly payment, we have good news for you. Toymaker New Bright has pulled the covers off of its 1:8 scale remote-controlled version of the American sports car. Complete with a very detailed interior and LED headlights, this large-scale R/C is as close as most of us will ever come to having one of the menacing Chevrolet models to call our very own. New Bright still hasn't released pricing or availability, but word has it the coupe should hit the market soon.
Right now, it appears as if the C7 will hit shelves in Torch Red, though we don't know if other colors are planned as well. The good news is that New Bright isn't exactly turning its back on the old C6 - representatives say the company will continue to make its popular C6R racecar for those who prefer round taillights.
Chevy Corvette gets Valet Mode with Performance Data Recorder [w/video]
Mon, 18 Aug 2014For the 2015-model-year, Chevrolet introduces Valet Mode for the Corvette, an enhancement to the Performance Data Recorder (PDR) already available and to your peace of mind. The PDR already captures 720p HD video with a windshield-mounted camera, records interior audio with a cabin microphone and gathers telemetry data using GPS, saving the data to an SD card in the glovebox. You can then watch your track-day antics with various information overlays on the center console screen.
Valet Mode will let you hit 'Replay' when your car gets pulled up front smelling vaguely of fricasseed clutch. Turned on by entering a four-digit code, it also locks the interior storage spaces and turns off the infotainment system. It can't be turned off until the code is re-entered. There's a press release below with more information as well as a video that explains how it works, with the obligatory dig at the 'Vette's biggest foe.
Experimental mid-engine XP-819 Corvette going up for auction
Sun, 17 Feb 2013It 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.
