I bought this car on eBay a few years ago.  The first part of the description is what the previous owner wrote
and I have found it accurate.

1984 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS.
Runs and drives good (currently driven everyday and has current NC tags and inspection).
Previous owner has swapped out the 305/3-speed combo for a 350/overdrive automatic (200R).
Smoke-free.
Also has a new tweed headliner and matching visors (previous owner had started to restore).
Front end is lowered with drop spindles, rear springs are cut.
Ball joints and bushings where replaced when the work was done. 
Wheels are stock, but in good shape.
Power steering. 
Front disc brakes.
Has optional 3.42 rear gears.
Aftermarket gauges for H2O, Oil and volt.
Fresh rebuild on the engine (approx 3000 mi). 
Engine has pop-up Keith Blacks, polished dual plane aluminum intake, and Holley carb.
Dual Flowmasters.
Battery is new and radiator was replaced when the engine was changed.
AC compressor has been removed and I don't know the condition/function of the rest of the system.
Cruise control does not work. 
Electric door locks were still, so I've unhooked the solenoids so they work manually.

Note: A few people have questioned the validity of the car being a true SS.  It is and the title verifies that.  In
1984 the bench seat and column shift was an option for the SS and about 15% of the SS’s sold were like
that.

What I have done to the car:

I have changed the oil and driven it approximately 1000 miles since purchase.
I have added chrome valve covers and new chrome air breather.
I didn’t like the tires so the front ones are new. 
All new interior upholstery
New carpet
New window felts
New power window motors
New outside door handles
New door seals
New trunk seal
New door hinge kits
New paint
New Z28 style cowl hood scoop

No cruise
No air conditioning
No power door locks

When I got the car it had very little rust.  The lip at the bottom of  the trunk lid was the worst. That was
repaired and water access was stopped.
I drive the car to work a couple days a week in the summer on nice days.
The paint looks good from a few feet out but is not perfect. It has a few medium sized runs that are
noticeable on close inspection.
It has never failed to start and run for me. It runs pretty strong for a big car.
I believe the mileage to be accurate at 70619 currently.
The car has a couple of fluid leaks. They are not bad enough that I have to check the fluids every time I
drive it but they will spot the floor when it’s parked. I think one is the power steering unit and the other I’m
not sure about.
There are a couple of small cracks in the dash and the instrument cluster panel needs some attention.
I know there are some things I am forgetting so if you are interested in this car please ask questions or
even better, come see it.

This is not a show car but it would be the perfect candidate for making one.
It is as solid of a 1984 car your likely to find.

The photos will show the car on the trailer the day I bought it and a few others of it now.

Mother's Day Suggestion No. 2,506

Thu, 02 May 2013

With Mother's Day coming up, we're always looking for new gift ideas to celebrate the occasion, but hot laps around a track might not be the best suggestion for Darius Khashabi. In a video posted on YouTube, Khashabi straps his mom into the passenger seat of his C6 Corvette Z06 for some laps around Sonoma Raceway (formerly Infineon Raceway) at "60 percent" with comical results.
Now this isn't the first time Mama Khashabi has gotten seat time in her son's car around a track, as his YouTube page shows him pulling a similar stunt - with similar results - around Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca last year. Scroll down for the video, but know that the action really gets going at around the 1:40 mark.

NHTSA investigates 1.7 million GM SUVs for windshield wiper failures

Tue, Nov 6 2018

WASHINGTON - The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said on Tuesday it is investigating whether General Motors should recall an additional 1.7 million sport utility vehicles due to an issue with windshield wiper failures. GM in August 2016 recalled 367,800 2013 GMC Terrain and Chevrolet Equinox SUVs in the United States to address the problem. But after receiving 249 complaints about similar problems, the federal agency said it is probing whether the recall should be expanded to include an additional 1.7 million vehicles from the 2010-2016 model years. The automaker said it is cooperating with the NHTSA review. GM said it recalled the 2013 GMC Terrain and Chevrolet Equinox SUVs "because warranty data showed a higher-than-expected failure rate," adding it has continued to monitor field data on other model years of those vehicles. GM noted that no crashes or injuries related to the issue have been reported. The Detroit-based automaker said the recalls were prompted after a GM Canada brand quality manager reported a potential safety issue relating to reports of windshield wiper failures in Canada through GM's "Speak Up For Safety," program in late 2015. The data showed significantly higher field incidents in parts of Canada, which prompted a June 2016 recall there. Over the next two months, a higher number of U.S. reports prompted a U.S. recall, the company added. In the 2016 recall, GM said the front-wiper module would be replaced with a module that has a water deflector and, if needed, dealers would fill the water management hole and drill a new small hole in a different location.(Reporting by David Shepardson, editing by G Crosse)Related Video: Government/Legal Recalls Chevrolet GM GMC SUV

C7 Corvette turbo with 1,000 horsepower promised from Hennessey

Mon, 25 Feb 2013

If you can't wait for the next-generation Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, Hennessey says they will have you covered. The Texas-based company has announced it will offer a spate of upgrades for the 2014 Corvette ranging from a range of bolt-on options all the way up to a 1,000-horsepower, twin-turbo system. Buyers can start with a cold air intake, cat-back exhaust or stainless steel long-tube headers, but Hennessey says it will also offer up three stages of forced induction mayhem should those bits and baubles not provide enough thrust.
Those choices start with a supercharger system good for up to 700 hp, though Hennessey will gladly ditch the blower in favor of two turbos. Doing so will spin the crank to the tune of 800 horsepower all the way up to a certifiably ludicrous 1,000 ponies. There's no word on how much these tricks will cost you - or when they will be available, as we're guessing they haven't gotten their hands on the car yet - but you can head over to the Hennessey site to drop them a line if you're curious.
