Hello everyone, this is painful for me but here goes.


NO RESERVE, STARTING PRICE IS THE RESERVE.....IF ONLY ONE PERSON BIDS, ITS GONE.

This is a 1972 Chevrolet MonteCarlo which I named Delilah .  The paint is blue on the sides and black over the top to include the hood, roof and trunk.  There are some rust spots on the body to include the driver door bottom area, the left quarter panel by the door, the right rear quarter panel under bondo, the lower left and right areas of the rear window, the rain gutter for the trunk, the trunk pan which needs replaced (could not upload picture for trunk pan but expect center piece needing replaced).

The interior is good, but is starting to spread on stitching on certain areas(not noticeable).  The carpet is great,  The dash (Green color) is unsecured, light switch works but unsecured due to broken plastic.  Ceiling is good no rips or tears.

The ignition is still original with an added push button start,  electric kill switch  for car,  Electric fuel pump with switch.  Rear have air shocks that hold air, dual exhaust with nice sound not loud.

The car was in my garage and only driven about 1 time every three months around the block.  It needs an oil change and better gas.  Currently parked outside.

The motor is a newer model (possibly early 90's) Chevrolet 350 which runs very good (milage unknown).  The transmission is a 400 which leaks oil when I leave it parked, but runs strong  The carb is a 750 double pumper holley.  New radiator with one electric fan.  The car runs so cool half the time I doesn't even need the fan.  
The car could use tires, ball joints.  The brakes work but need bleeding or master cylinder???  The front wheel wells are plastic but has the right one partly broken.  The A/C is not hooked up but it does have the newer style compressor sitting on the motor.  

There are things that are not easily described that can only be seen in person.  I hope that I mentioned key topics that would otherwise surprise you if not mentioned.  The rest should be only positive aspects of my car which can be viewed in the pictures.  Just remember this car is an old muscle car looking for a new home that needs someone with the time and money it deserves.

I wouldn't take this car on a road trip, mainly because of tires and ball joints.  Could it make a trip the way it is??? who knows, I've done worst with no problems.  The last time this car was on the road for sure as a daily driver was in 2008.

If you have any questions, just email me or call/text 956 537 9781 and ask for Rafael.

Payment is accepted in cash only. A deposit of a non refundable 200.00 should be transferred via Paypal as soon as the auction is over.  I could deliver within Texas for a fee mainly to cover gas expenses.

Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards

Fri, 22 Feb 2013

The 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.

GM isn't liable for punitive damages in ignition switch cases

Wed, Nov 20 2019

NEW YORK — A federal appeals court said General Motors is not liable for punitive damages over accidents that occurred after its 2009 bankruptcy and involved vehicles it produced earlier, including vehicles with faulty ignition switches. The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan said on Tuesday that the automaker did not agree to contractually assume liability for punitive damages as part of its federally-backed Chapter 11 reorganization. GM filed for bankruptcy in June 2009, and its best assets were transferred to a new Detroit-based company with the same name. The other assets and many liabilities stayed with "Old GM," which is also known as Motors Liquidation Co. Tuesday's 3-0 decision may help GM reduce its ultimate exposure in nationwide litigation over defective ignition switches in several Chevrolet, Pontiac and Saturn models. It is also a defeat for drivers involved in post-bankruptcy accidents, including those who collided with older GM vehicles driven by others, as well as their law firms. The ignition switch defect could cause engine stalls and keep airbags from deploying, and has been linked to 124 deaths. A lawyer for the drivers and their law firms did not immediately respond to requests for comment. GM had no comment. Circuit Judge Dennis Jacobs said GM's agreement to acquire assets "free and clear" of most liabilities excused it from punitive damages claims for Old GM's conduct. He also noted that the judge who oversaw the bankruptcy concluded that the new company could not be liable for claims that the "deeply insolvent" Old GM would never have paid. The decision upheld a May 2018 ruling by U.S. District Judge Jesse Furman in Manhattan, who oversees the ignition switch litigation. Drivers have sought a variety of damages in that litigation, including for declining resale values. GM has recalled more than 2.6 million vehicles since 2014 over ignition switch problems. It has also paid more than $2.6 billion in related penalties and settlements, including $900 million to settle a U.S. Department of Justice criminal case.

GM puts 3 million miles on hydrogen fuel cell test fleet

Mon, May 12 2014

Have General Motors' hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles emitted enough water vapor over the past six-plus years to equal the steam coming out of Old Faithful? Not exactly, but GM has released a few figures related to the Project Driveway initiative it began in 2007. The numbers are impressive, if not quite of the geyser-spouting variety. In all, the General converted 119 Chevrolet Equinox SUVs to run on hydrogen, and those vehicles have just collectively surpassed the 3 million mile mark. And if you were waiting for us to tell you that the distance equals a half-dozen round trips between the earth and the moon, well, there you go. The better news is that the SUVs have combined to save almost 158,000 gallons worth of gas, and some of the vehicles have more than 120,000 miles on them. More than 5,000 drivers have participated in the project. GM reached that landmark about 10 months after it announced that it was working with Honda to accelerate the development of hydrogen fuel-cell powertrain technology. The two companies estimated last summer that it may have something to sell to the public as soon as 2020. For now, you can check out General Motors' press release below. GM Fuel Cell Fleet Tops 3 Million Miles Chevrolet Equinox fuel cell vehicles driven in real world reach milestone DETROIT – General Motors' fleet of fuel cell vehicles recently passed 3 million miles of hydrogen-powered, real-world driving. Some individual vehicles have accumulated more than 120,000 miles. By GM's estimate, using hydrogen to power these vehicles, the fleet has avoided 157,894 gallons of gasoline consumption. This specially equipped fleet of Chevrolet Equinox Fuel Cell vehicles are part of GM's 119-vehicle Project Driveway program, which launched in 2007. Since then, more than 5,000 drivers have provided feedback on the functionality and drivability of fuel cell technology. "Hydrogen fuel cell technology is an important part of GM's advanced propulsion portfolio and we continue to make substantial progress in furthering this technology," said Charlie Freese, executive director of GM's global fuel cell engineering activities. "These vehicles have operated through seven full winters and a wide range of environmental conditions, proving that fuel cells can meet the demands of real-world drivers." Last year, GM announced two fuel cell-related collaborations.
