Perkasie, Pennsylvania, United States
important........this vehicle does not belong to me, iam listing it for a friend who does not like to mess with computers. any questions about the cars condition or price must be directed to him by calling him at 267-347-9683. any questions emailed to me will go unanswered as iam leaving for vacation and will be away from my computer for the week. this auction is for an unmolested, original paint, survivor 1972 monte carlo. my buddy bought this car @ 10 years ago. he is owner number 3, the 2 previous owners were in the same family. my friend had been searching for one of these first generation monte carlos for a restoration project and purchased this car because of its originality, one family ownership and 66,289 documented miles. he had planned to fully restore this car but after addressing a few minor problems it was set aside until other projects were completed. then as so often happens time to work on this car never happened and now with other projects taking his time, he would like to find a new home for this monte carlo. the original 350 2bbl runs like a clock, uses no oil, no valve tick, simply purrs like a kitten. as the pics show other then maitainence items like hoses, filters and the battery the engine compartment is all original. my friend did swap in an HEI distributor, but that's a no brainer update which helps the car, run and start much better. the original distributor comes with the car. the factory air conditioning is complete but needs charged. the turbo 350 3 speed automatic trans preforms great and is shifted thru the console mounted shifter. the car is factory equipped with power steering and power brakes with front discs. the frontend has been rebuilt and a new master cylinder, front calipers and linings have been installed. the rear axle is original and the car rides on 15x7 rally wheels with BFG radials. the car drives great. the body is very solid with minor rust issues on the bottom insides of both front fenders and rear quarters however I feel it can all be corrected without panel replacement. the trunk seal leaks, the rust in the trunk area seen in the pics is only surface rust........no rust thru. the doors open and close solidly and all the glass is good but the windshield needs resealed. the original paint color is called midnight bronze. all the paint is original except for the passenger side fender which was repainted long ago after a minor parking lot snafu. the car will need stripped and repainted as the paint is severely checked. the bumpers and all trim are in good shape. the vinyl roof will need replaced as it appears at one point someone tried to paint it another color. the interior is very nice. the dashpad and instrument panel are perfect and the seats, door panels and center console are nice also. the carpet will need to be replaced as will the headliner thanks to a mouse. options are rear defogger and factory am/fm radio, although the radio does not work, the dash clock also is not working. my friend holds a clear title for this car plus much of the original paperwork as shown in the photos. a 500.00 deposit is due within 3 days of the auctions end, the balance to be paid before the car is taken. for local pickup the car is located about an hour north of Philadelphia and within easy access of the Pennsylvania turnpike. if the car is to be picked up by a transport company my friend has agreed to help out as needed. |

Chevy reveals new IndyCar aero package
Tue, Feb 17 2015The IndyCar Series is not one that demands its participating teams and automakers to design their own chassis as they do in Formula One, but for this season, the organizers have opened it up to allow for custom aero packages. What you're looking at here is the new look of the chassis to be fielded by teams running under Chevy power. Based on the Dallara DW12 chassis – introduced three years ago and named after the late Dan Wheldon – Chevy's new package is designed for road courses and short ovals, with the speedway configuration to be revealed later. The kit features new wings front and rear and more sculpted side pods. It's also got new wedges at the back to envelop the otherwise open wheels that are a hallmark of Indy racing, a more streamlined engine cover and bigger rear bumper pods. The new package will debut at the Grand Prix of St. Petersburg that will kick off this year's championship in Florida on March 29, followed by the road-course grands prix in Louisiana, Long Beach, Alabama and Indianapolis before the new package needs to be ready for the Indy 500 late in May. Half of the teams on the starting grid this season will be running under Chevy power and are expected to use this new aero kit, with the remaining Honda teams slated to run a different package of their own. Chevrolet Debuts All-New 2015 IndyCar Aero Package Chevy-developed bodywork delivers improved aerodynamics 2015-02-17 INDIANAPOLIS – Chevrolet-powered racecars in the 2015 Verizon IndyCar Series will feature Chevrolet-developed aero packages. Chevrolet introduced the road course/short oval body design today at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. It is distinguished from the previous racecar with new front wing elements, sculpted side pods and a new rear wing. A speedway configuration for the aero kit, designed for high-speed ovals, will be introduced ahead of its competitive debut at Indianapolis in May. "This is an important milestone in Chevrolet's involvement in IndyCar racing," said Jim Campbell, General Motors U.S. vice president of Performance Vehicles and Motorsports. "We focused on developing an aerodynamic package that delivers an balanced combination of downforce and drag, along with integrated engine performance. It's a total performance package." The new Chevy road course aero configuration delivers greater aerodynamic performance than the previous design.
Top horsepower-per-dollar cars in 2017
Tue, Feb 17 2015Bang for the buck. That quasi-scientific statistic is bandied about by motor heads everywhere from classrooms to barrooms, though the truth of the matter is that it's exceedingly complex to measure. A fair performance-per-dollar index would include something like cross-referencing MSRP (Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price) with point-to-point times on a track or driving route, which is obviously hard to do comprehensively. But, for the sheer joy of talking about cars and playing with a big spreadsheet, there's always the horsepower-per-dollar index, which is more straightforward, albeit hilariously flawed. There are vagaries even with this simple formula, of course: MSRP for vehicles can change at a moment's notice, to say nothing of the bottom-line shifting that happens with local deals or showroom negotiation. For this list we're running with the straight MSRP wherever possible, and as recently reported as we can get it. All the vehicles on this list are 2017 models, and all trims are reported where the lowest price and differing power levels intersect. Some choices were made for personal preference and some for sanity, avoiding things like all 48 trim levels of the Ford Transit, all with the same horsepower). If this list were a simple top ten, or even a top fifty, you'd be bored to tears with all the red, white and blue that is represented. Following perfectly with conventional wisdom, American cars really do lead the world where hp/$ is concerned. So, for the sake of variety (and the sheer joy of seeing a minivan 'win' one round of this thing) I've sorted out some top five and bottom five lists for broad power categories. Let's dive in. Less Than 100 Horsepower Okay, okay, this is hardly a category we'll grant you. But we've often tried to click off all the sub-100-hp cars on sale in the US, and making this list gave us an excuse. It also illustrates that none of these smallish vehicles bring cheap horsepower to the table - for that you'll need a motorcycle. The segment-leading Chevy Spark (above) asks just over $139 for each hp, and that Smart Fortwo Electric Drive has hp on sale for about the same price as its very distant family cousin, the Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG (insert your favorite Smart joke here... we know you want to).
Chevy Colorado gets box delete option designed for upfitters
Fri, Mar 6 2015The Colorado, which marks the return of Chevrolet to the midsize truck segment, is receiving critical praise, and now it's time for the pickup to get to work. At the National Truck Equipment Association Work Truck Show in Indianapolis, IN, Chevy is unveiling a box delete option package for the model that allows businesses to custom tailor the Colorado to their needs. The choice to remove the bed is exclusively available on the Colorado Work Truck trim in the rear-wheel drive, extended cab model with a 305-horsepower, 3.6-liter V6 and six-speed automatic gearbox, and Chevy claims this is the only option of its type in the segment. Beyond the obvious loss of the rear, these trucks feature eight mounting points on the frame for upfitters to install any necessary modifications. They also get the Z82 trailering package and a locking differential. The versions with the box delete package carry a payload rating of 2,200 pounds an a gross vehicle weight rating of 6,001 pounds. "It's ideal for utility companies requiring service bodies, as well as landscapers and other businesses needing the utility of a flatbed," Ed Peper, US Vice President for General Motors Fleet and Commerical, said in the option's announcement. Further options with the package are limited to choosing a repositioned fuel filler for the upfitter to install and deleting the rear seat for extra interior capacity. The box delete becomes available in mid-April, and buyers get a $300 credit off the price of the Colorado when it's selected. Colorado 'Box Delete' Expands Options for Businesses Chevrolet package offers unique midsize pickup platform for alternative uses 2015-03-04 INDIANAPOLIS – With a box delete option, business owners and fleet managers can have it their way when it comes to customizing the back end of the 2015 Chevrolet Colorado. Chevrolet today announced availability of the package in mid-April. It is on display this week at the annual National Truck Equipment Association Work Truck Show in Indianapolis. It is the only such option offered in the midsize truck segment. "With the segment-leading efficiency and maneuverable size, the Colorado makes a great, flexible choice for urban businesses and fleets to make the most of a midsize truck," said Ed Peper, U.S. vice president, GM Fleet & Commercial.
