You are bidding on a very nice four-door , six-cylinder 1982 Chevrolet Malibu. The vehicle was purchased three years ago in very good condition and required only normal maintenance to bring up to running condition. The car has been used daily for travel in and around the local area. The car was not used for long distance trips. The car is rust-free with a nice exterior. Current known issues:

Speedometer recently broke (likely snapped cable)
Cruise control has not been working since purchase
Cooling fluid has been leaking (trying to determine if this the radiator or just a hose)
Engine has been idling rough
Mileage from odometer is an estimate since there is no hundred thousandth digit. Previous seller stated that the car had been used on a very limited basis by his father and kept in a garage.

The engine appears to be original with possibly an aftermarket air conditioning unit. The interior of the car is clean and in very nice condition. The car has been smoke-free for at least the last three years. There is an after-market radio (retro style) with an aux cable port that was installed prior to this owner's purchase. The trunk is large and clean. Two tires were purchased in the last two months and the other two are less than a year old. The transmission has been checked (mechanic recommended not changing axle fluid). A mechanic evaluated the car in June 2014 and found no apparent problems. Inspection sticker runs through 4/2015.

Prospective buyers can inspect the car. Buyer must pick up the car and take possession at time of full payment. A clear title will be signed over at time of payment. Buyer is responsible for any taxes or fees.

Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]

Tue, 05 Feb 2013

Consumer Reports has taken aim at at small-displacement, forced-induction engines, saying the powerplants don't manage to deliver on automaker fuel economy claims. Manufacturers have long held that smaller, turbocharged engines pack all power of their larger displacement cousins with significantly better fuel economy, but the research organization says that despite scoring high EPA economy numbers, the engines are no better than conventional drivetrains in both categories. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, says the forced induction options "are often slower and less fuel efficient than larger four and six-cylinder engines."
Specifically, CR calls out the new Ford Fusion equipped with the automaker's Ecoboost 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The institute's researchers found the engine, which is a $795 option over the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder, fails to match competitors in acceleration and served up 25 miles per gallon in testing, putting the sedan dead last among other midsize options.
The Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Sonata Turbo and Ford Escape 2.0T all got dinged for the same troubles, though Consumer Reports has found the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the BMW 328i does deliver on its promises. You can check out the full press release below. You can also read the full study on the Consumer Reports site, or scroll down for a short video recap.

2013 Chevy COPO Camaro announced with two new engines and manual option

Thu, 07 Mar 2013

Chevrolet is following up the 2012 COPO Camaro with another limited run of the drag-strip-ready production car for 2013. Ditching the superchargers, the 2013 COPO Camaro can only be equipped with one of three naturally aspirated V8 engines, and other new features include the option of a manual transmission, new front springs, some minor styling changes and a lower starting price of $86,000. All cars are designed to abide by the rules of the NHRA's Stock Eliminator or Super Stock classifications, depending on in which series buyers wish to enter their Chevrolet Camaro.
Returning for 2013 is the 427-cubic-inch V8 producing 425 horsepower, but the new engines include a 325-hp 350-CID V8 and a 375-hp 396-CID V8. Buyers can select to purchase all three engines, and each will be matched with the sequence number of that car; the track-only COPO cars will not have vehicle identification numbers and can't be registered for street use.
Chevrolet is also offering unique enthusiast-specific options such as a COPO Build Book and the opportunity for owners to help assemble their car's engine at the Chevrolet Performance Build Center in Wixom, MI.
