This next featured Chevrolet Malibu wagon is the automotive creamsicle you didn’t know you needed. It has been reborn with LS power (a 6.0 backed by Holley Terminator EFI), Hooker manifolds, a Richmond 4-speed, and a shifter tall enough to double as a flagpole. Underneath, QA1 coilovers, tubular trailing arms, and a rear sway bar […]
At first glance this car appears to be a 2-door Chevelle wagon, which Chevrolet did make available from the factory, but the seller describes it as a customized El Camino. But that isn’t the strangest part…because this thing has 4cyl powertrain and most interior bits from a Toyota Truck from the late 1990s. I don’t […]
In 1973, GM honored another Southern California coastal town with the launch of the third-generation Chevrolet Chevelle. The top-tier “Colonnade coupe” model was named the Laguna, paying tribute to the laid-back vibe of places like Malibu and Laguna Beach, which were then small surfer communities quite different from their modern image. Despite their tranquil past, […]
This next car is about the lowest optioned Chevelle you could have purchased in 1970. Not only does it start with the pedestrian 4-door body, but it has a 250 inline-6 engine mated to a power-glide 2-speed automatic, and it is probably manual steering and manual brakes…but the price is right for a driveable classic that isn’t a rust bucket. Find this 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle 4-Door offered for $2500 in Bridgeport, CT via craigslist. Tip from Cory.
The 2nd generation Chevelle was a big car…IS a big car, but back in the day it was considered a mid-sized…and if you wanted a BIG wagon you got the full-sized Kingswood Estate. And while those old full-sized beasts have all but disappeared from the road, the mid-sized cars have lingered longer and you can find survivors floating around dry states. Find this 1971 Chevrolet Chevelle Wagon offered for $17,900 in Hesperia, CA via craigslist. Tip from Rock On!
You guys are familiar with the show Leepu and Pitbull, right? No, it’s not a Bollywood detective show, but a History channel reality car building show starring Bangladeshi tuk-tuk car designer Leepu Awila and (likely ex-Mafiosi) Steve “Pitbull” Trimboli. You’d think that I’m making this up…but I’m 100% not and this next car was the featured build on episode 8 of season 1. The show is a veritable dumpster fire of muttonchops and eagle beak front ends. AND I LOVE IT!! HOW WAS THIS CANCELED AFTER ONLY ONE SEASON?? History should have canned all of those stupid American Chopper wannabe shows and run Leepu & Pitbull marathon 24-7! Screw the Velocity Channel, I want the Leepu & Pitbull channel. Find this 1991 Chevrolet Caprice bidding for $3649 reserve-not-met with 2 days go, located in North Chemlsford, MA.
There are cars that are sweet…and then there are cars that are sweeeeeEEEEEeeeEEEttt. This is the later. This is the kinda car that’ll get you smiles at a stop sign and questions at a gas station. It’s the kinda of car that’ll make you happy even when the carb is acting up and the left […]
The final of the three Magi is named Gaspar and his gift was historically myrrh, which is an essential tree oil that was used in embalming practice, an unusual gift for a newborn, but appropriate for someone would die at a young age….anyway, this next car is appropriately symbolic of death…I think. Find this 1968 Chevrolet […]
The SS badge on the side of a Chevelle meant it had a powerful V8 and the ability to go toe-to-toe with any other huge domestic sedan from the same era…but they only built the SS wagon in 72/73, so if you want one without spending a bunch of cash, you’ll have to make your […]
