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.

2016 Chevy Colorado grabs Motor Trend Truck of the Year award

Tue, Nov 17 2015

It's not an easy feat to win Motor Trend Truck of the Year twice in a row, but the 2016 Chevrolet Colorado managed to do just that. Thanks to the introduction of the 2.8-liter Duramax four-cylinder diesel, the magazine decided to bring the pickup back to defend the title. In more good news for the Bowtie brand, the 2016 Camaro earned the magazine's Car of the Year award. The Colorado beat a tough group of finalists to earn the nod this year, including its GMC Canyon sibling. The Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra also made this year's list. The Nissan Titan XD and latest Toyota Tacoma rounded out the challengers. A model had to shine in six criteria to earn the title: advancement in design, engineering excellence, safety, efficiency, value, and performance of intended function. Like it did with the Camaro, Motor Trend posted a story online that explained the rationale for picking the Colorado again. They praised the diesel profusely and lauded the whole platform as quite a capable hauler. This year's Motor Trend SUV of the Year honor went to the Volvo XC90. The Swedish 'ute had to win against an initial group of 16 candidates that the magazine eventually whittled down to finalists that consisted of the Honda Pilot, Lincoln MKX, the combined Mercedes-Benz GLE-Class and GLE Coupe, and Nissan Murano. "Seven-passenger people movers aren't supposed to drive like this," senior features editor Jonny Lieberman said about the Volvo in the announcement of the champions. The Honda CR-V won last year. In the explanation online, the judges applauded the XC90's new modular platform, and they loved both the T6 twin-charged engine and T8 hybrid version. The SUV's key enamored the writers, too.

2014 Chevrolet Malibu gets more torque, more room and inspiration from the Impala

Fri, 31 May 2013

The 2014 Chevrolet Malibu, having stared at the Impala across the showroom floor for a year, gets nips and tucks all over inspired by its larger brother. The 2.5-liter four-cylinder in the base car will get a stop-start system and 23 city miles per gallon, 35 highway, each number representing a one-mpg improvement over the 2013 car. Output is 196 horsepower and 186 pound-feet of torque.
Opt for the 2.0-liter turbo and, while power holds steady at 259 hp, torque goes up by 14 percent to a striking 295 lb-ft (a figure Chevy calls best in the class). The final details include newly programmed transmission shift points and faster shifts, for better engaging and enjoying the added power.
Looks-wise, the grille's been reshaped to be more in line with the new Chevrolet look, a narrower upper grille hovering over a larger lower grille.

Joe Flacco wins C7 Corvette along with MVP honors

Mon, 04 Feb 2013

As part of a longstanding tradition, the MVP of Super Bowl XLVII, Joe Flacco, quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, was given a new car directly after the game and trophy celebrations. For 2013, that car is a 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, and it was presented to Flacco by Rick Flick of Banner Chevrolet, a dealership in New Orleans that was wiped out by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 before returning to prominence as the only Chevy dealer in Orleans Parish.
Last year, Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning took home a 2012 Corvette GS Centennial Edition. Manning also won in 2008, when he selected a Cadillac Escalade Hybrid as his reward. In 2011, quarterback Aaron Rodgers accepted the keys to a Camaro convertible.
Though we're most definitely an auto-obsessed group, we did watch the Big Game along with nearly everyone else in America. And we've gotta say, as if winning the Super Bowl and receiving the Tiffany-designed Pete Rozelle Trophy wasn't enough for the multi-millionaire MVP athletes, a brand-new C7 seems like an awfully generous prize.
