I have too many cars and have just finished this project. And it is time for me to move onto my next project. You are looking at a 1988 Chevy Monte Carlo SS with T-tops, bucket seats with a floor console. I am only the 3rd owner. The gentlemen that owned it before me, is a 76 year old man who bought it in 1996 with 52K on it. I have the title to prove it. About 50K ago (at around 82K) he put in a GM 305 replacement motor. The car runs and drives excellent. It has a lifter tick at idle. The previous owner told me that it has always done that, even when the motor was brand new. If you bring the motor up to 1500 RPM it goes away. Transmission shifts beautifully. Mechanically it has always been well maintained. It gets good gas mileage and has just enough power. Has a nice posi 373 gear rear end. The interior is in good condition. Certainly the upholstry on the seats could use some attention. But the good news is, the interior is 100% complete in unrestored condition. Everything works in the interior & exterior, except for the cruise control and the A/C. The previous owner did a great job maintaining the car, but did not maintain the rust. And that is where I came in. I have two friends that own a professional body shop and I spent $3,000 in paint & bodywork alone to get the car to look this good. Yes the frame, tranny mount and floors, especially behind the front seat have been patched (sheet metal.) But welded in, fiberglass and done right. I would call it a period correct restoration. As you can see no shortcuts were taken on the body. And it came out great! There are several paint imperfections, that need to be touched up or finished. Most are unnoticable. The car has brand new SS decals. The raised white letter tires are in great shape. The rims were sandblasted and look new. The T-tops do leak some during heavy rain (they all do.) 1988 was one of the last full frame Chevrolets ever produced and 1988 was the last year for this body style Monte Carlo SS. The last Monte Carlo SS to roll off the line, was a Silver T-top just like this. This is within one of the last few thousand made. It only cost me $32 to register due to it's antique plate status. I get thumbs up and comments everywhere I go. My reserve is very low and I have much more into it. Bid with confidence. Check my feedback. Thank you

May 2016: FCA wins, Ford and GM stumble on weak car volumes
Wed, Jun 1 2016The May 2016 sales numbers are in, and it looks as though FCA is getting some vindication for boldly cancelling two slow-selling car models. Meanwhile, Ford saw overall sales dip and GM's May volume took a big dive versus the same month in 2015. While Marchionne's decision to axe the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Dart has drawn criticism as being short-sighted, it's working for FCA so far. Although the Dart and 200 aren't out of production yet and no capacity has been shifted to crossover or trucks, May's numbers show that the emphasis on Jeep and Ram models makes sense right now. FCA's US sales rose 1 percent last month compared to May 2015, putting the year-to-date total at 955,186 vehicles, an increase of 6 percent compared to the same period last year. Standouts included the Jeep Renegade, Compass, and Patriot, and the Fiat 500X. Ram pickup sales were down 3 percent. And your fun fact is that Alfa Romeo sales were up precisely 10 percent, for a total of 44 4Cs sold versus 40 in the same month last year. At FoMoCo, the Ford brand took a hit to the tune of 6.4 percent from May 2015 to 2016, registering 226,190 sales last month. Lincoln showed improvement on its modest numbers, going from 9,174 to 9,807, a 6.9 percent increase. Overall, Ford was down 5.9 percent for the month to 235,997; despite the slump, year-to-date total Ford sales are up 4.2 percent to 1,112,939. Strong sellers included Escape, Expedition, F-Series, and Transit - big stuff. Most small and/or efficient models (Fiesta, Focus, Fusion, C-Max) saw sales slides. Fusion sales were also down, likely due to effects of model changeover to the freshened 2017 model. Ford has promised four new crossovers and SUVs by 2020 and if things keep trending this way the company will be able to sell them, but things could change in the next four years. GM saw the worst of it for domestic brands. Retail and fleet sales were down for each of the four divisions, with the May 2016 total dropping 18 percent to 240,450 vehicles. GM's year-to-date sales are down 5.0 percent in 2016 to 1,183,705. Both the Sierra and Silverado were down significantly, and the majority of Chevy, Buick, GMC, and Cadillac nameplates saw sales decreases, with both small cars and larger utilities included. Not even big stuff could help GM this month, it seems. We'll have more on the rest of the industry's May sales as those figures trickle in.

Car and Driver 10Best list cracked by Tesla Model S, BMW 3 Series left off
Fri, Nov 21 2014Car and Driver is keeping new blood pumping into its annual 10Best cars list with three new entries making it on for 2015 and a perennial favorite falling off. Among the biggest shocks this year is that the BMW 3 Series and 4 Series are no longer named, despite years of some portion of that lineup earning a mention. In another surprise, the Tesla Model S (specifically in S 60 trim to fit under the $80,000 cost cap) makes it to the 2015 roster and is the only electrically motivated member of the group. Despite the loss of the 3 Series, BMW isn't entirely shut out this year, because the M235i gets its name on the list. Car and Driver argues that the little coupe feels like a welcome throwback to the E46 chassis M3 of the early 2000s. In addition to the Model S, the final newbie to the annual group is the 2015 Ford Mustang GT. The inclusion of these new members knocks the Audi A6/A7 family and Ford Fiesta ST out from the 2014 rundown. The other seven models carry over from last year, including the Cadillac CTS, Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, Honda Accord, Mazda3, Mazda6, Porsche Boxster/Cayman and Volkswagen Golf/GTI. The 2015 10Best cars list certainly seems to have something for everyone from the hot hatch fan to the family man and even the green car driver, thanks to the addition of the Tesla. Head over to Car and Driver to read its detailed explanations for each vehicle's inclusion, but if you've got a difference of opinion or just really like the list, let us know in Comments.
