1988 Monte Carlo SS - This is the last year for this body style. Only 16,204 SS Monte Carlo's were produced in this very low production year making it rare and collectible. It would be save to say that less than half of them are still around today. Unlike the Cameros, Novas, Mustangs and Challengers, this is a full frame car like the early Chevelles, Pontiac GTOs, Buick Grand Sports, Dodge RTs and Plymouth GTXs. Full frame cars have alot less body roll and body flex which gives them much better road manners like handing curves better and having better straight line performance.the ride on these cars is as good as the impala,the handling with the suspension package which this car has is as good as most corvettes, This car also weighs in at 3,239 pounds which alot less than the Mustangs, Cameros and Challengers of today with the same equipment even though they are not full frame cars. This car was sold to me as being original miles and an original car other than normal wear items being replaced. In my thirty plus years in paint and auto mechanics, I have found no reason to think this is untrue. It is in very nice original condition. The 25 year old paint still has alot of shine but has a few door dings and scratches, has some fading on top of hood and trunk, but looks good at 10 feet. Car was dealer undercoated. It has no rust in the body or under the car. Floor pans, frame, trunk are all in excellent condition. One thing about original paint is that you get to see what you're getting without it being covered up. This car has alot of options: 305HO engine, overdrive transmission, 3:73 positive trac rear end, power windows, power locks, cruise control, tilt wheel, air conditioning, power steering, power disc brakes, power trunk release, rear window defrost, right and left mirror adjust, bucket seats, console, automatic transmission in the floor, floor mats, full gauge package, AM/FM high powered JVC CD player. (I have the original Delco AM/FM cassette, and no mods were made so you can put this right back in). Also has Optional factory15 inch aluminum spoke wheels and third brake light in rear window. The interior is in very nice shape - shows some wear - but is nice. Unlike most of these cars, the dash is not cracked and is in excellent shape. And, yes, everything works as it should. Car is now showing 86,600 miles which, as I indicated earlier was sold to me as original miles. If you have never driven one of these Monte Carlos with the 305HO engine combination, you are in for a pleasant surprise. It will spin the tires easily and bark the tires in second. It also gets 20+ miles per gallon on the highway. Alot of money has been spent on this car in the last year: a new battery, new tires, new brakes, new wheel center caps, a new Walker factory replacement exhaust system. This is the original factory type consisting of the catalytic converter, the Y pipe, mufflers and tail pipes. ac is changed over to r 134 freon, it shows in auto report 1 accident,this even states the accident was minor, Any Questions? Call 660-355-4571 after 5:00 PM CDT.

Weekly Recap: Tesla loses money, still dominates the news
Sat, Aug 8 2015Some people get an inordinate amount of attention. In politics, it's Donald Trump. In football, it's Jim Harbaugh. And in the auto world, it's Elon Musk and his always-fascinating electric car company, Tesla Motors. General Motors is spending $877 million to upgrade a factory. So what! US auto sales are up. Who cares? Tesla has a metal snake that will recharge your car! So was the week in Tesla – er, the industry. Snarkiness aside, Tesla did dominate the news cycle, led by the announcement the company lost $184 million in the second quarter. Tesla also said it expects to deliver between 50,000 and 55,000 vehicles this year, and is preparing for a full launch of the Model X crossover in September. Musk also made news during the earnings call by simply not answering a question about ride sharing, leading to speculation Tesla could be considering its own operation. While the financials were the arguably the most important company news, reports of a Model S cyber hacking were more compelling fodder for Tesla followers. Researchers were able to attack the sedan and bring it to a stop, though they required access to the car first. Tesla says it already has deployed a remedy for the situation. On a lighter note, Tesla published a video of its metal charger prototype that autonomously uncoils like a snake to power up the company's vehicles, provoking plenty of humorous comments and comparisons. Watch it and decide for yourself. While some of this might seem trivial, much of Tesla's recent attention has been warranted. It's the first startup US automaker in decades to launch from nothing and actually gain traction in the market. Sure, Musk is a lightning rod and Tesla always seems to be in the spotlight. But amid all of the publicity, it easy to lose sight of the new reality: Tesla is a force. OTHER NEWS & NOTES 2016 Chevy Volt lights up 106 MPGe The Chevy Volt's vitals are looking healthier for 2016. The second-generation plug-in hybrid racks up a gaudy 106 miles per gallon equivalent, which is an increase of eight MPGe from the 2015 model. The new Volt can travel 53 miles on electricity, a significant jump from the 2015 Volt's 38-mile range. The new car also has a 420-mile total range when factoring in the capability of the gasoline engine, which is 40 miles greater than the current car offers.
C7 Corvette turbo with 1,000 horsepower promised from Hennessey
Mon, 25 Feb 2013If 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.
5 reasons why GM is cutting jobs, closing plants in a healthy economy
Tue, Nov 27 2018DETROIT — Even though unemployment is low, the economy is growing and U.S. auto sales are near historic highs, General Motors is cutting thousands of jobs in a major restructuring aimed at generating cash to spend on innovation. It's the new reality for automakers that are faced with the present cost of designing gas-powered cars and trucks that appeal to buyers now while at the same time preparing for a future world of electric and autonomous vehicles. GM announced Monday that it will cut as many as 14,000 workers in North America and put five plants up for possible closure as it abandons many of its car models and restructures to focus more on autonomous and electric vehicles. The reductions could amount to as much as 8 percent of GM's global workforce of 180,000 employees. The cuts mark GM's first major downsizing since shedding thousands of jobs in the Great Recession. The company also said it will stop operating two additional factories outside North America by the end of next year. The move to make GM get leaner before the next downturn likely will be followed by Ford Motor Co., which also has struggled to keep one foot in the present and another in an ambiguous future of new mobility. Ford has been slower to react, but says it will lay off an unspecified number of white-collar workers as it exits much of the car market in favor of trucks and SUVs, some of them powered by batteries. Here's a rundown of the reasons behind the cuts: Coding, not combustion CEO Mary Barra said as cars and trucks become more complex, GM will need more computer coders but fewer engineers who work on internal combustion engines. "The vehicle has become much more software-oriented" with millions of lines of code, she said. "We still need many technical resources in the company." Shedding sedans The restructuring also reflects changing North American auto markets as manufacturers continue to shift away from cars toward SUVs and trucks. In October, almost 65 percent of new vehicles sold in the U.S. were trucks or SUVs. That figure was about 50 percent cars just five years ago. GM is shedding cars largely because it doesn't make money on them, Citi analyst Itay Michaeli wrote in a note to investors. "We estimate sedans operate at a significant loss, hence the need for classic restructuring," he wrote. The reduction includes about 8,000 white-collar employees, or 15 percent of GM's North American white-collar workforce. Some will take buyouts while others will be laid off.
