Up for sale is my restored, National show winning 1970 Monte Carlo by Chevrolet. This particular Monte Carlo was built in the Flint, Michigan plant. Having said that, there are no build sheets since that plant had strict rules when it came to placing build sheets in vehicles. I found this out from the vice president of the First Generation Monte Carlo Club. Something else that makes this car unique, is the fact 1970 was the first year for the Monte Carlo. You will be hard pressed to find a first generation Monte Carlo in this condition. I am open to certain trades **No Motorcycles**, and my price is negotiable. This Monte Carlo is a factory A/C car but is not hooked up since it was not built to be a daily driven car. Along with the car comes the owners manual in A-1 shape, the 1970 Chevy Manufacturer's Specs in a 3 ring binder, the original 1970 Monte Carlo dealer sales brochure, and a bunch of Hot Wheels 1970 Monte Carlos that are still in the packaging and are painted just like mine. Don't miss out on an opportunity to own a true 70s muscle car, ready for the car cruise season. I have all the reciepts for the work I had done since I have owned it. This car can be driven anywhere, as I took it to Carlisle June 22-24th and put 500 miles on it in one weekend, with zero problems. I have noticed that it may need a new oil pan gasket since the one on it is cork and has started to leak a little. I didn't put the cork one on, and since I don't have access to a lift yet I haven't changed it out. I never trailer this car but when I take it on long trips I do cover the front with blue painter's tape to prevent stone chips as much as possible. (Blue painter's tape doesn't leave a sticky residue) I currently have a PA Antique plate on the car which can go with it.

The last few pictures of the car are from 1990 when it was purchased from the original owner and 1999 when it was painted a second time with the racing stripes. I also have a ton more pictures of the restoration. If you want to see them please contact me and I will email them over. This Monte Carlo was originally white.

** Recently displayed at the 2013 Autorama World of Wheels in Pittsburgh PA. Recieved an ISCA (International Show Car Association) award in my class as well as the ISCA "Rising Star" award.
** Drove it 500 miles in one weekend to the All GM Nationals in Carlisle, PA. I received and Award of Excellence in my class (70-72 Monte Carlo stock)
** Featured on the front cover and article write up in the National Monte Carlo Owners Association magazine

GM Recalling Another 2.7 Million Vehicles In Five Separate Campaigns

Thu, May 15 2014

The recalls keep rolling in from General Motors, evidently keen to avoid repeating the mistakes of the ignition-switch debacle and clean house. This time they're all coming at once, with five separate recalls announced together covering approximately 2.7 million vehicles. The largest of the five actions involves over 2.4 million units of the previous-generation Chevrolet Malibu and Malibu Maxx, Pontiac G6 and Saturn Aura in order to fix brake light wiring harness, which have been found to be susceptible to corrosion. The recall is separate from the 56k Aura sedans which GM recently recalled over faulty shift cables, not to mention the previous massive recall of 1.3 million vehicles – some of them the same models – but appears to have resulted from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation that started with the G6 almost a year ago. The second-largest campaign involves the 2014 Chevy Malibu, specifically those fitted with GM's 2.5-liter engine and stop/start system, approximately 140,000 examples of which has been found to have problematic brakes. The issue does not appear to be connected to the recall of 8k Malibu and Buick LaCrosse sedans (also involving brake woes) which we reported upon last week. Four crashes have been reported in such models, but GM admits it's not yet clear if the problem was a contributing factor in the accidents. A further 112k Corvette models from the 2005-2007 model years are being called in for problems with their low-beam headlamps resulting from a flexing relay control circuit wire that's not meant to bend. GM says it is "aware of several hundred complaints" about this issue, but notes that there have been no reports of related accidents. In addition, over 19k examples of Cadillac CTS from the 2013 and 2014 model years are being recalled over windshield wipers that might not work after a jump start. Finally, GM is also bringing in 477 examples of its 2014 Chevy Silverado, Tahoe and GMC Sierra (though not the Yukon) to fix a problem with a tie rod in its steering rack. As ever, all recall repairs will be performed free of charge, and GM is now estimating that recall-related actions this quarter will result in an estimated $200-million charge against its second-quarter earnings. Read the full announcement from GM below for further details.

These cars are headed to the Great Crusher In The Sky

Fri, 24 Aug 2012

It happens every year. We bid adieu to some cars and trucks that will be missed, and say good riddance to others wondering how they stayed around so long. Whether they're being killed off for slow sales or due to a new product coming along to replace them, the list of vehicles being discontinued after 2012 is surprisingly long and diverse.
CNN Money has compiled a list of departing vehicles, to which we've added a few more of our own. In the slow sales column, cars like the Lexus HS 250h, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and the full Maybach lineup appear, while the Ford Escape Hybrid, Mazda CX-7 and Hyundai Veracruz are all having their gaps filled with more modern and more fuel-efficient alternatives. Obvious exceptions to the rule include models that still sell in decent numbers like the Jeep Liberty and the Chrysler Town & Country (which will eventually be replaced by a crossover-like vehicle).
Check out our gallery of discontinued cars above, then scroll down for more information.

Man spent $75 on a truck that lasted 38 years

Mon, Jan 5 2015

Absurd as it is, some buyers today are worried about getting their car to last throughout the term of their seven-year car loan. Minnesota resident Bob Sportel has the opposite issue: his Chevrolet truck seemingly won't die. Sportel needed a cheap ride to get to work when he took a job at a farmer's co-op 38 years ago, so he bought a rusty 1957 Chevy pickup for $75 from a farmer; at the time, the 20-year-old truck was almost as old as Bob was. After nearly four decades of daily driving and an estimated 300,000 miles, Sportel is still driving the truck today. Bolts secure a fender, Bondo secures the lights, what looks like a whole roll of duct tape keeps him sitting on the bench seat instead of in it. For a 58-year-old pickup that's never seen a garage or a new coat of paint – but did get its oil changed four times a year – that's not bad; Sportel thinks his repair bill hasn't got above $1,000 for the entire time he's owned the truck. He still has no plans to get rid of it, saying, "It just becomes a part of you." You can watch his story in the video above. News Source: KARE11.com Chevrolet Truck Classics Videos
