For sale is my 1972 Chevrolet Monte Carlo. The best way to describe the car is that the pictures really don't do it justice. It's an older restoration that really doesn't show it's age. I've owned the car since April 2005 and have had 8 years of trouble free ownership. The car as you see it is pretty much how I bought it on e-bay in 2005. Stuff I've added to the car since 2005...the CD player; the 8 inch rally wheels and BFG tires; the tilt steering column and 3-spoke steering wheel; the factory guage package that includes tach, and a new clock that actually works and keeps great time; a new steering box with a quicker turn ratio....and the one thing that I think totally makes this car a joy to drive is the 700R4 transmission installed in March 2012. Adding the 4 speed automatic with true overdrive is just what this car needed and I wish I had done it years ago. We've seen highway fuel mileage as good as 20mpg running interstate highway @70mph. I also put new dual exhaust with Flowmasters and chrome SS tips in 2011. Lots of the normal maint. items are fresh as well, including shocks in 2010 and front brakes just this spring (it got new rear brakes in 2005 and they're still in good shape).

We've put nearly 18,000 miles on the car since we've owned it and it's never been on a trailer and it's never let us down. We've done the last 4 Hot Rod Power Tours, so we've had it a long way from home and I wouldn't hesitate to take off anywhere with it now. It's been to Detroit, MI; Arlington, TX; and Nashville, TN, just to name a few. It's done a lap at Indy (at parade speed unfortunately) and 3 laps on Iowa Speedway (a little faster there and a lot more fun). This car is no trailer queen, but it won't embarass you on cruise night or at a local show, and I have the 1st and 2nd place trophies from local shows over the last 8 years to prove it. It's clean top and bottom.

The good stuff: 350 with a nice streetable cam, Edelbrock intake, Holley carb, and headers. I don't know a lot of the details because the car was built when I got it...but I do know it runs strong and starts right up. Bucket seats and console shift all in great shape. It IS an older restoration so it does have a couple of knicks in the paint, but nothing major that hasn't been covered up with touch-up paint. If I had to pick on the car....it really needs to have the inside of the trunk repainted. Also, this car does not have A/C. Not a problem for me, but I know that can be a big deal for some folks....but don't let that keep you from taking a look anyway.

Extra stuff: I have the 350 tranny with shift kit (worked just fine when we took it out) and driveshaft that came out of the car when we put the 700R4 in it that goes with the car....there is also some extra chome that the previous owner had that he sent with the car...the original steering wheel....a new dash pad that I never took the time to have dyed and installed (the one in it has a small split in the speaker grill)....an extra drivers side mirror. I also have the original window sticker and lots of receipts and a few pictures of the build in progress from the previous owner.

Why am I selling it? I've gotten that question a lot lately. Simply put...I got the itch for a new toy so I have to part with this one. If I could afford to keep it, I would.

The disclosure stuff....It's a 41 year old car so while I've not had an issue with it, it is obviously being sold as is. I do have the car listed for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. The mileage listed above is what is showing on the odometer. I have no idea what the true mileage is. I must receive a $500 good faith payment in certified funds (cashiers check or wire) within 72 hours of auction close. The only payment I'll accept is cash or cashiers check prior to or at the time the car is picked up. I will not arrange shipping....that's up to you. Car must be paid for and picked up within 2 weeks of auction close.

Please don't be scared because of my 0 newbie score. I'm not a big e-bay user and couldn't remember my user ID or password that I used when I bought the car and subsequently a few items several years ago, so I had to create a new one. If you have questions or would like to know the backstory on the car and it's previous owners, please don't hesitate to call me at 573-338-2107.

Chevy 'committed to marketing Bolt the right way'

Mon, Nov 2 2015

The 2015 edition of the annual AltCar Expo in Santa Monica, CA in September was a relatively quiet affair. Attendance felt light compared to previous years. But that didn't mean there wasn't something happening that might have just as big an impact on the plug-in scene as anything that's ever happened in previous years at the Santa Monica Convention Center. I say this because of what GM's Shad Balch told me about Chevy's plans to market the upcoming Bolt electric car. This is GM's next-gen electric vehicle, which will have a roughly 200-mile range and may cost about $30,000 after tax incentives (maybe). To say he's excited to start selling this car is an understatement. Set aside the obvious challenge Chevy will have with cars named both the Volt and the Bolt, especially when some languages exchange the pronunciation of the letters B and V. Set aside the fact that, for now, Balch is dealing with his own company actively advertising against the product he's trying to get people excited about. Balch, GM's manager of new product and public policy communications, is tremendously positive about the Bolt's chances in the marketplace when it arrives in 2017 or 2018. "Driving an EV is, in every proof point, better than a gas-powered car, except for charging." - Shad Balch AltCar and the concurrent National Drive Electric Week represented the Bolt's West Coast debut, and Balch told me that the car's arrival in California shows how "Detroit recognized that they need to send it out to their number one market." The car's appearance outside of the Motor City was "The most encouraging part for us out here, being in the market ... to be able to explain that we are committed to marketing this car the right way. ... We're trying to make that known as much as possible, because that is the number one criticism that we hear. That's why events like these are so important, because we can't wrap up into a 30-second spot what these cars are capable of. I can't even explain it to you in 10 minutes what it's like. But the thing is, driving an EV is, in every proof point, better than a gas-powered car, except for charging." Now, there's a fairly decent chance that GM will hit the 250,000-vehicle limit for the $7,500 federal tax incentive right about when the Bolt comes to market, so I had to ask how the Bolt gets marketed if the price tag jumps up a few thousand dollars. Balch was straightforward. "Well, we would sell fewer cars," he said. "It's pure and simple. ...

Chevy Crossvolt name kept alive in new trademark application

Fri, Dec 26 2014

In April 2011 General Motors submitted a trademark application with the US Patent and Trademark Office for the word "Crossvolt." In November of this year, the application expired for lack of a statement of use. But in August of this year, GM applied again for the same trademark, leading some to believe that it intends to apply the name to a vehicle. That vehicle could explain the mule in sliced-and-diced Chevrolet Orlando bodywork caught in several spy shots this year, theorized to be some kind of Toyota Prius V or Ford C-Max Hybrid competitor; or it could be a production version of the Chevrolet Volt MP5 concept showed off at the Beijing Motor Show in 2010, which was about the same size as the Chevy Orlando. Or it could be none of those things – but the fact that Chevrolet is keeping it current makes us believe it will be... something.
