1987 Monte Carlo Ss Aerocoupe on 2040-cars

1987 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS Aero Coupe. This low mileage Monte Carlo SS Aerocoupe is a must see for any collector. In 1983 Ford introduced the new aero designed Thunderbird that inspired the style, even into today’s cars. While it also took over NASCAR and the showroom. So naturally GM had to fight back with what they had. While the styling of the Monte Carlo SS, of that era was a hit, it was still missing something on the racetrack. The sharp, vertical cutoff behind the C-pillar and long rear deck caused airflow turbulence at high speed, including unwanted lift. It just wasn’t competitive with the T-bird. With the Monte Carlo’s G-body platform not scheduled for replacement for a few years, engineers were left with few options. Their answer came in the form of a sloping, fastback-style rear window that effectively replaced the rear deck lid, giving the car greater stability and about a five-mph boost in top speed. Of course, to make the car legal with NASCAR, a number of production models were required; and with that, the Monte Carlo SS Aerocoupe was born. The car’s development was completed in 1986, with a scant 200 production examples built that year. The production run in 1987 was 6,052, for a grand total of 6,252. Considering that more than 41,000 examples of the standard SS were made in 1986, and more than 33,000 “notchback” cars were built in 1987, the Aerocoupe is a comparatively rare model. The documentation for this includes the original window sticker. It still pulses from the original motor, a 305 cubic inch, 5.0 Liter High Output 4 barrel V8 with a 4 speed Turbo Hydramatic TH-200-4R transmission and a positraction rear end. This one was purchased new at GIL Farmer Chevrolet Corporation, Rocky Mount, VA . This SS Aero Coupe has 54,973 original miles and has been sitting in storage since 1998. It runs and drives great. Some of the features include six-way power seats, power door locks, power window, power truck opener, which is part of Chevrolet’s 75th super saver package. Other options on this car are the rear window defroster, air conditioning, remote sport mirrors, cruise control, and tilt steering. The original price of the car was $17,604 with $2,336 in options. This car is garage kept and will be a great investment for anyone for years to come.

Callaway debuts its new C7 Stingray at National Corvette Museum
Fri, 02 May 2014Callaway showed off its first tuned version of the 2014 Corvette Stingray at the National Corvette Museum last week, giving the rampant enthusiasts of America's sports car a look at the roughly 620-horsepower, supercharged rocket.
Unlike the Corvette SC610 we showed you back in January, this Stingray packs a fair bit more oomph. Horsepower is only up ten ponies, but torque has jumped from 556 pound-feet to "at least" 600 pound-feet. Neither horsepower nor torque is official quite yet, although Callaway is expecting to know just what its creation can do once testing and validation is completed later this month.
The 6.2-liter, supercharged V8 now boasts a new, three-element intercooler, which Callaway claims only allowed the inlet air temperature to increase by ten degrees Fahrenheit during dyno runs. Previous designs saw a 35-degree-Fahrenheit jump. The exhaust system has also been fettled with, and now is even less restrictive.
Why 2015 is going to be a huge year for trucks
Thu, Jan 22 2015Nissan chief executive Carlos Ghosn took center stage to introduce the 2016 Titan last week at the Detroit Auto Show. He spoke of the truck's new features, impressive Cummins V8 diesel engine and the extensive amount of time and money required to build a modern, competitive pickup truck. "We have done all of this because we see opportunity – an opportunity in the unmet needs of today's American truck customers," Ghosn said. He was speaking about the Titan, but his thoughts echo the industry's mindset: When it comes to trucks, find an opportunity and attack. Even with CAFE regulations looming and fickle consumer preferences, investing in trucks is a no-brainer for automakers. Some consumers will always need a truck for their job or lifestyle. And some people will always want one, whether they need it or not. With that in mind, here are four reasons why the pickup-truck sector is more important than ever and poised for growth in 2015. View 24 Photos The Nissan Titan Is Back Okay, it never left, but the Titan hadn't been redesigned since its launch in 2003, and Nissan sold more NV200s than Titans in 2014. It's an understatement to say the truck was languishing. That all changes with the 2016 model. The Titan will come in two variants, a traditional fullsize competitor and the Titan XD. The XD will lead the market launch, and it arrives late this year. It's pitched as a "whitespace" offering, Nissan sales and marketing vice president Fred Diaz said. The idea is to offer something in the general size and price range of a fullsize truck, but also have some of the capability of a heavy-duty truck. The XD uses a fully boxed ladder frame, the chassis design from Nissan's commercial division, and the wheelbase is about 20 inches longer than other Titan models. The XD, which Nissan is calling the flagship of the line, will be the only model with the 5.0-liter Cummins turbodiesel V8. It produces 310 horsepower and 555 pound-feet of torque, while being able to tow 12,000 pounds. V6 and V8 gasoline models will also be offered on the Titan XD and the standard, non-XD model. When production ramps up, the Titan will be sold with several cabs, beds and trims. New features include trailer sway control, an integrated trailer brake controller, more storage options in the cabin and even laminated front and rear side glass to reduce outside noise. All of this has given Nissan fresh confidence in an area where it admittedly has been lacking. "We can compete," Diaz told Autoblog.
GM recalls full-size truck, SUVs and vans over faulty shifter mechanism
Mon, 07 Jan 2013Twelve different General Motors vehicles from the 2013 model year, up to 54,686 units in total, are being recalled over two potential issues with their steering columns. The models in question, all full-size trucks, SUVs or vans, are the: Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT, Chevrolet Avalanche, Express, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe, and GMC Savana, Sierra, Yukon and Yukon XL.
The affected vehicles were built with a fractured parking lock cable or "a malformed steering column lock actuator gear in the lock module assembly." As a consequence, they could shift out of park without the brake pedal being applied or with the key removed or in the off position.
A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration indicates that the recall should begin on January 17. GM will notify owners, at which time they can take their vehicles to their dealers for repair free of charge. Have a look at the bulletin below for more information.
