Very good condition 1977 Monte Carlo. Can be a fun and reliable daily driver as is, or an easy restoration candidate for the perfectionist.
Paint's in decent shape, a couple dings here and there with some touch-ups. The only rust is in the doorjambs toward the rear wheels, as well as on the passenger side, behind the rear wheel. Trunk and floors are 100% solid. Looks to have been repainted at some point (I estimate about 10-15 yrs ago). Was garaged for at least the last 10 years, although since I bought it in December, it's been under a carport. Full vinyl top in pristine condition. No holes or cracks in the material whatsoever. Doors close well, no sagging, although the interior panels are getting a little loose and rattle over bumps. Not a major issue though. They do have some discoloration, however, but no cracks, etc.
Interior is in good condition. Dashboard recovered. Cloth seats are clean with no stains, holes or tears. Carpet, headliner are good. All idiot lights and buzzers, gauges, etc. work as they should, except the rear-window defogger, clock and windshield washer. ICE-COLD AC. Even the cruise control works. Car passed VA state inspection last Sept. Owner's manual included. Aftermarket CD player in good working order. Manual locks and windows.
Engine purrs, runs cool, even in the hot summer with the AC blasting. Transmission shifts smoothly, nice and tight. This car comes with the 350 cubic inch, 4 barrel option, so it will get up and move. Power front disc brakes and power steering make driving this beauty a dream.
There is a Draw-Tite tow hitch that I was going to remove, but I'll leave that up to the next owner. Tires are getting old but hold air fine. Just a little thin in the treads.
Trunk is clean with all the carpeting and trim pieces. Taillights are wired for a trailer. Spare tire, jack, etc. all included.
This car is in excellent mechanical condition as far as I can tell and is ready to be driven home. I can also help arrange for shipping for the long hauls. Please reach out with any questions, and I'll do my best to answer them. Thanks for looking.

GM execs fired over fraudulent India emissions testing
Mon, 29 Jul 2013General Motors hadn't had a recall in India since 1995. That changed when it was discovered that certain employees were playing tricks with local emissions testing in order to ensure passing grades for engines. More than ten GM Powertrain employees in India and the US have been let go over the ensuing emissions flap, including Sam Winegarden, VP of global engine engineering, a man who has been with the company since 1969, leading development of some marquee powerplants.
According to Automotive News, an internal investigation revealed that employees "violated testing procedures," sometimes swapping specially prepared low-emissions engines during testing regimes for the Chevrolet Tavera SUV equipped with the 2.0-liter and 2.5-liter engines. Employees were also manipulating weights in order to get vehicles placed into different emissions categories. The discovery has led to GM recall the 114,000 Taveras produced over an eight-year period and halting their production and sale.
The Economic Times of India reports that the issue is due to "a faulty component." GM has developed a solution to the issue, and once it is validated in testing and approved by the Indian authorities, the recalled vehicles will be fixed at dealers and production will resume.
Performance cars overpower the Detroit Auto Show
Tue, Jan 13 2015At precisely the stroke of noon on Monday, the 2016 Acura NSX rolled on stage at the Detroit Auto Show amid plumes of smoke and dancing lights. The sounds of the powerful engine revving soared to the rafters. It was the second coming of Acura's iconic sports car, and the reveal had all of the expected trappings. Afterwards, champagne corks popped and the bubbly flowed. It was noon in Detroit, but for the green-car movement, it seemed like the clock had struck midnight. That's an exaggeration, but performance was the overwhelming theme of North America's most important show. Ford – which has helped lead the way in smaller displacement engines and early adoption of hybrid powertrains – had more than 1,500 horsepower on stage one point after it revealed the GT concept, the new F-150 Raptor and the Shelby Mustang GT350R. The NSX is technically a hybrid (it has three electric motors), but with 550-plus hp, there's no doubt this Acura was bred on the track. The theme continued throughout the show at nearly every stand. Alfa Romeo showed off the 4C Spider, which is the open-air version of a car that purports to be the spiritual successor of the high-performance 33 Stradale from 1967. On Tuesday, Cadillac is scheduled to reveal the 640-hp CTS-V with the V8 transplanted from the Corvette Z06, and the Lexus was expected to roll out its own V8-powered beast, the 467-hp GS F. For enthusiasts – especially enthusiasts with money – these are halcyon days. But make no mistake, all of this power has a purpose. Ford product chief Raj Nair said the Blue Oval uses high performance cars to develop technologies, like aerodynamics and materials, which are then shared across its lineup. "It's another proof point about how serious we are in developing innovation through performance," he said. Ford, which is rolling out at least 12 performance cars by 2020, said the sporty cars attract younger and more influential buyers to its fold, which can help burnish its image beyond adding sales volume. Toyota is taking a similar approach, senior vice president Bob Carter said, noting the Lexus RC coupe draws people into showrooms and gets them excited about the brand, even if they don't end up buying one. "They provide an aspiration and a halo that provides the attention that gets you noticed in a cluttered market," he said.
Hot air balloons caught in high winds drag fullsize SUV
Mon, Jul 20 2015A sudden storm front whipped up enough wind to send some hot air balloons flying into the air in Wisconsin over the weekend. One ballon proved so energetic that it was able to drag a fullsize SUV across a field and into a stand of tents. The freak accident occurred at Balloonfest in Waterford, Wisconsin. Spectators were horrified as balloons dragged handlers to the ground and launched with terrified pilots clinging to their baskets. Organizers had started packing up the colorful balloons due to ominous storm clouds when the wind kicked up. "Happened just like that; it was crazy," Nathan Fricke, crew member, told Fox 6. Winds were clocked at 40 to 50 miles per hour. A balloon caught in the wind dragged a large SUV (we think a Suburban or Yukon XL) hundreds of feet and into a cluster of tents on the edge of the staging area where balloons were on display for festival goers. Considering that the SUV surely weighs well over 5,000 pounds, it's lucky that no one was injured in the incident. News Source: Fox6Now Weird Car News Chevrolet GM GMC SUV
