This is a beautiful example of a own owner (grandmother) 1967 Chevelle Malibu. Bought new 07/21/'67 at Fanning Chevrolet in Gresham, Oregon. It has it's original plates the dealer signed to it on that date delivered, they are pristine. Grandmother worked for the County and rode the bus to and from work as she did not drive at night, hence the low miles. After retiring she relocated to a small Eastern Oregon town called Gilcrest and that is where it remained. After her passing the car remained on the property in storage since the mid 90's Then the car was titled in my and mothers name in '93 to close the estate. Then last year when is came back over the mountain to Gresham. I am not a classic car guy, yet have emotional ties as this is the car I grew up in. I had planned to keep the car, but she always said "It's just steel painted blue" I have a young family and decided to sell it to benefit them. After I brought it back it had rained and the cover was removed and stored in the truck (bad idea) as you can see is has discolored the paint and there are several rust spots and a few holes that will need attention. Since then it has been garaged. It was painted in the early 90's as she hit a lawn mower on the drivers rear. The top, chrome, door seals, windows and all that is believed to be all original. The motor runs smooth and is a joy to drive. Shifts and runs as it should with no known issues. All windows are tight and go up and down as they should and has no leaks when washed. There is a 2" hole above the passenger head in the head liner that was caused by a rodent. The car has been and is driven to get ice cream and is for sale locally. Sold as it where is. No trades. clean title in my name. Also included is the original keys, a blue set of keys, all registration cards and original temp in my grand mothers name since new. The PROTECT-O-PLATE is in the warranty booklet shown. Can can be seen and driven at any time locally in the Portland Metro areas. Will help with all shipping needs on my end and without a doubt I would drive this car anyplace today.
The body shows NO sign of any rust along, or under any panel. No signs around top, chrome or trim. it is a truly solid car. Though it was painted a long time ago, it is hard to tell that it was and in no way a poor job. It shows well, most think it to be original, but I remember when it had. If you want any specific pictures to see anyplace. please ask and I will forward to you. Under body is dry and clean, though drive-train shows seeping over the years, it does not leak. Odometer shows just over 23k miles, I can only assume it's rolled over.
Whats new
- Radiator (steel)
- Alternator
- Volt regulator
- Spare
- Battery
- Professionally tuned with plugs, points, cap and rotor.
What does not work and not known why.
- Clock
- Factory radio
- Rear defrost fan
- Blower fan is always on low
- Left turn cancel does not work
Interior is excellent condition in my eyes other than the hole in the head liner. Door panels, seats and carpet show minimal wear.
Exterior is in excellent condition, shines and is well shown. There is a small scratch (no idea how) on the front left fender that has been there for years. It should be touched up.

Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards
Fri, 22 Feb 2013The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.

First 2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray spotted crashed in the wild
Tue, 12 Feb 2013This restyled blue 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is wearing manufacturer plates, and it appears to be the same one seen around the internet in various pictures lately. This crash is likely not part of the Chevrolet testing regimen, however. Digital Corvettes forum member gpetry posted the shot with a note: "got this picture e-mailed from a friend in Arizona last week..." No circumstances are given, other than the incident occurred in the thick of a set of curvy roads, and the coupe ping-ponged off a guardrail and into the rock wall. Hopefully everyone involved in the incident walked away.
It may not be a pretty thing to see, a crashed sports car that's not even available for sale yet, but rest easy. Many pre-production cars are used for development and then unceremoniously crushed and scrapped, anyway. If that's the case here, that makes this wrecked 'Vette less of a tragedy and more of a case of exceptional efficiency.
Artist imagines eerie world where cars have no wheels
Thu, 24 Jan 2013The wheel ranks right up there with the telescope and four-slice toaster in the pantheon of inventions that have moved humankind forward. But what if a circle in three dimensions had never occurred to anyone, and we all had just moved on without it? Perhaps we'd be driving around in Lucas Motors Landspeeders with anti-gravity engines. Or maybe we'd have the same cars we do today, just without wheels.
That's the thought experiment that seems to have led French photographer Renaud Marion to create his six-image series called Air Drive. The shots depict cars throughout many eras of motoring that look normal except for one thing: they have no wheels. The models used include a Jaguar XK120, Cadillac DeVille (shown above), Chevrolet El Camino and Camaro, and Mercedes-Benz SL and 300 roadsters.
Perhaps one day when our future becomes our past, you'll be able to walk the street and see with your own eyes the rust and patina of age on our nation's fleet of floating cars. Until then, Monsieur Marion's photographs will have to do.
