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. 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 factory 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 tha 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. Any Questions? Call 660-665-4571 after 5:00 PM CDT.

Use this PowerPoint when convincing your spouse to let you buy a Corvette
Thu, 14 Feb 2013When you are not the one in charge of the purse strings, creativity is a must when trying to get the string-holder to bankroll that next shiny object you just can't live without.
When I was a kid, I decided that life wasn't worth living if it weren't in pursuit of owning a GMC Typhoon. My 12-year-old self crafted a fiscal strategy that, when combined with my offer of a 49-percent share of ownership in the car in return for my parents' contribution of 80-percent of the purchase price, would see me behind the wheel of a Typhoon by the time I hit college. They walked away from the negotiating table and, the economic climate of the 8th grade being what it was at the time, another partner wasn't found before the Typhoon was discontinued.
Roy El-Rayes, however, has succeeded where 12-year-old me failed, and he did it by using the sort of professionalism that only a PowerPoint presentation can provide, along with some humor and bold-faced flattery.
Why the Corvette's Performance Data Recorder can be illegal in some states
Fri, 26 Sep 2014The Performance Data Recorder with Valet Mode available on the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray seems like a fantastic tool for many owners. Whether they are taking 720p video while lapping the track in their new 'Vette, or just want to protect their purchase from inconsiderate joyriders, the system offers a lot of functionality in one package. However, one of the PDR's features might get buyers in trouble with the law, and it has nothing to do with recording some illicit high-speed driving on a favorite back road. The problem hinges on the various state laws concerning a person's right to privacy.
According to a letter posted by Jalopnik, Chevy dealers are asking 2015 Corvette owners not to use the Valet Mode portion of the PDR because it records audio in the cabin, in addition to performance specs. That's a problem because privacy laws vary from state to state with some requiring just one side's consent to tape sound and others requiring all parties to agree. According Jalopnik, 15 states mandate everyone's permission beforehand, but it's not clear whether these numbers are up to date. (Actually, the report varies, saying 13 states in some places and 15 in a list.)
According to the letter, Chevy is already working on a software update for the near future to rectify the issue. It's possible that simply adding a warning to drivers and the ability to turn off the audio recording function in Valet Mode might solve the problem. Obviously, this doesn't preclude Corvette drivers from using the performance aspect of the PDR, and owners are free tape lap after lap at the track.
GM expected to debut two new crossovers at Detroit Auto Show
Thu, Dec 15 2016Next month, General Motors is expected to debut two new crossovers at the North American International Auto Show. That's according to Automotive News and The Wall Street Journal, which reports that the successors to the aging Chevrolet Traverse and GMC Terrain will finally make their debut. The two crossovers have been on sale since 2009 and 2010 respectively and are due for updates as the competition has newer models on the market. Both crossovers play in growing market segments where sales success is crucial for the respective brands. GM, and the automotive industry as a whole, has been shifting its focus towards crossovers in the last few years. The Traverse and the Terrain are some of the oldest SUVs on the market and are in dire need of an update. GMC's Acadia, the former corporate clone to the Traverse (and Buick Acadia), switched to a new platform in 2016. And the Terrain's platform-mate, the Chevrolet Equinox, was revealed a few months ago. Both the new Chevy and GMC models are expected to go on sale late in 2017 as 2018 models. Look for a follow up to the Traverse's sister, the Buick Enclave, to make an appearance soon.
