1984 - Chevrolet Monte Carlo on 2040-cars
Shinglehouse, Pennsylvania, United States
1984 Chevy Monte Carlo SS – PRO STREET. This BEAST is a complete frame off custom build which has been 10+ years in the making. The owner has invested over 100K in parts alone, not including the 100’s of labor hours that he spent on the build himself. The meticulous detail that went into this build is what really sets it apart from other “PRO STREET” cars out there today. All the receipts and literature for the installed parts and accessories are available and will be passed onto the buyer. The interior was completely reupholstered floor to ceiling with beautiful blue fabric. Even the rear seat was custom cut and re-installed which is typically not seen on a tubbed car. It has a “Dakota” digital dash that looks like it belongs there from the factory. It gives you a clear view of MPH, RPM’s, fuel percentage, and water temperature. The Hurst shifter is surrounded by a hand-made chromed aluminum console and has a custom made dual switch shift handle for line lock and over drive. The steering wheel is made by “Banjo” and is removable which is a good anti-theft feature.

The exterior white paint is flawless and boasts beautiful hand painted decals that really accent nicely the theme of the car. This Monte rides on polished aluminum “Centerline” wheels wrapped in Micky Thompson rubber. It has front 12” and rear 13” disc brakes (with Emergency Brake) for superior stopping ability. This Monte truly rides like a Cadillac with its full front and rear “Hotchkis” suspension and “Strange” axles. Finally, to get into the good stuff. The car is powered by a 502 cubic inch big block crate engine. The heads were ported to match the polished aluminum “Stealth” intake manifold. It has a turbo 350 transmission built for 1000 HP. The transmission has “Gear Venders” for over and under drive to make it a full manual 6-speed. It has a bullet proof 9” rear with 4.11 gear ratio. Nascar radiator with twin fans. Hooker headers with a custom made full stainless steel 3” exhaust. Handmade stainless steel gas tank. Custom made carburetor intake which pulls extra air off the cowl. There’s a A/C idle solenoid to kick up RPM’s when the air conditioner is on. 120 AMP, 1 wire alternator. The battery shuts off with the key. Call, Text or Email Ryan Fallon - 267.228.8150 – Ryanfallon2@gmail.com There are so many custom parts on this Monte that it is nearly impossible to remember them all let alone list them all so I just mentioned a few. The engine dyno-ed out at 605 HP @ 6500 RPM. This car was built for show, not for racing however you could make a few modifications to make it track worthy (roll cage and parachute.) But that would really take from the cars integrity. This Monte Carlo is truly a “Hot Rod Family Car.” It has less than 150 miles on it since it was complete and it has never been raced. It has been entered into many local car shows where it has won award such as “best in show” and “best motor.” Polished aluminum and stainless steel. Almost every bolt under the hood that could be has a Chevy insignia bolt head. It runs on pump gas (93 octane) but will certainly take racing fuel. The car has been garage kept since the build began and has never seen the rain. A little about the owner/builder… This multiple award winning show stopper is owned by and was built by master mechanic Joe “Slim” Ulanowski. He has been building custom/race cars for well over 40 years and his garage Academy Automotive which is located in Northeast Philadelphia has been open since 1976. He has built and restored numerous award winning vehicles in his career. Slim and Academy Automotive are proud sponsors of the wounded warrior project in which “Slim” had his hand in the building of the Wounded Warrior Projects 1969 Chevy Camaro SS.

Chevrolet To Oversee Restoring Sinkhole Corvettes
Fri, Feb 14 2014What Mother Earth devoured, Chevrolet plans to resurrect. The carmaker said Thursday it will oversee restoration of the classic cars swallowed by a huge sinkhole beneath the National Corvette Museum in Kentucky. General Motors Design in Warren, Mich., will manage the painstaking work to repair the eight prize vehicles, the automaker said Thursday. The cars were consumed when the earth opened up early Wednesday beneath a display area when the museum in Bowling Green, Ky., was closed. No injuries were reported. The museum was open Thursday except for the area where the sinkhole occurred. Mark Reuss, GM's head of global product development, said the damaged vehicles rank as "some of the most significant in automotive history." "There can only be one 1-millionth Corvette ever built," he said, referring to one of the damaged cars. "We want to ensure as many of the damaged cars are restored as possible so fans from around the world can enjoy them." Just how the cars will be pulled out of the ground remains to be seen, said museum executive director Wendell Strode. The local fire department estimated the hole is about 40 feet across and 25 to 30 feet deep. The hole opened beneath part of the museum's domed section. "We feel pretty confident that most of the cars can be extracted," Strode said Thursday. "And we hope and believe that with just a little bit of luck, that all eight cars can be extracted and be part of the restoration." Chevrolet spokesman Monte Doran said some of the cars look to be in good shape, while others are buried in rubble. "It will likely be several weeks until we can get the cars out and assessed," he said. The GM Design team has helped restore other historic cars, but the Corvette project looks to be its biggest, he said. "These Corvettes are part of our history, and they want them restored properly," Strode said. "We're thrilled they're doing this." The cars looked like toys as they plunged into the hole, piled in a heap amid dirt and concrete fragments. The museum owns six of the cars while two - a 1993 ZR-1 Spyder and a 2009 ZR1 Blue Devil - are on loan from General Motors. The other cars damaged were a 1962 black Corvette, a 1984 PPG Pace Car, a 1992 White 1 Millionth Corvette, a 1993 Ruby Red 40th Anniversary Corvette, a 2001 Mallett Hammer Z06 Corvette and a 2009 white 1.5 Millionth Corvette. Pictures of the sinkhole showed a collapsed section of floor with multiple cars visible inside the hole.
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
1983 Motorweek showdown pits Porsche 928S vs. Chevy Camaro Z28
Mon, Jan 12 2015Last month, Motor Trend threw the Camaro Z/28 and Porsche 911 GT3 into the bear pit and let them fight it out. Way back in 1983, MotorWeek had the same idea, comparing the Camaro Z/28 to the Porsche 928S. At the time, the Camaro was America's best selling sports coupe, the 928S was Porsche's top-of-the-line model that also had the highest top speed of any car sold here. And the price differential was even more stark then: $13,600 for the Camaro, $45,000 for the Porsche. That put the Z/28's cast-iron, 5.0-liter V8 with 190 horsepower and 240 pound-feet of torque against the all-aluminum 4.7-liter V8 with 234 hp and 263 lb-ft in the 928S. Even with that and the Camaro being 14 inches longer than the Porsche, the American was a surprising 40 pounds lighter than the German. The show took them to Summit Point Raceway in West Virginia to see how close a relative performance bargain could hang with a the German GT. Both had five-speed manual transmissions, but the high-speed corners and tight sections of Summit Point would test other handling variables, including the "bone-rattling" Camaro's solid rear axle and disc and drum brake setup vis-a-vis the four-wheel disc brakes and independent suspension on the "firm-but-smooth" Porsche. Paradoxically, the larger disparity 22 years ago resulted in a closer result. Check out the video to see how the Summit was won.
