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.

2015 Green Car Of The Year finalists announced, run alt-fuel gamut

Tue, Oct 21 2014

The 2015 edition of the Green Car of the Year award is following right in the footsteps of previous years with a variety of alt-fuel powertrains making the just-announced finalists list. You've got your plug-in vehicle (the BMW i3), your compressed natural gas (the Chevy Impala Bi-Fuel), your high-efficiency diesel (the Audi A3 TDI), your 40+ mile-per-gallon gas engine (the Honda Fit) and, finally, a car that can do a little bit of everything (the VW Golf). The Golf is available – at least in some parts of the US – with three different powertrains: a 2.0-liter diesel, a gasoline engine and all-electric drive. The Impala can burn either natural gas or gasoline in its 3.6-liter engine. The A3 is an efficiency champ, able to get 73.5 mpg on some European tests. The i3 can be a pure electric vehicle or come with a short range extending engine. And the Fit brings 41 miles to the gallon in a practical, affordable package. The GCOY award is announced every year at the Los Angeles Auto Show by Green Car Journal. The committee doesn't just take the fuel-saving technology into account, but also a vehicle's "availability to the mass market." Last year, the Honda Accord Hybrid/Plug-In Hybrid won top honors, following up on wins from the Ford Fusion models (plug-in hybrid and hybrid) for 2013, the Honda Civic Natural Gas for 2012 and the Chevrolet Volt for 2011. FINALISTS ANNOUNCED FOR 2015 "GREEN CAR OF THE YEAR"" Green Car Journal to Reveal Winner of 10th Annual Award at LA Auto Show" Press & Trade Days, November 20 LOS ANGELES, CA (October 21, 2014) – Green Car Journal has announced its five finalists for the magazine's high-profile 2015 Green Car of the Year® program. The 2015 models include the Audi A3 TDI, BMW i3, Chevrolet Impala Bi-Fuel, Honda Fit, and VW Golf. The Green Car of the Year® award, an honor widely recognized as the auto industry's most important environmental accolade, celebrates its 10th anniversary this year. An increasing number of vehicle models are considered for the Green Car of the Year® program each year, a reflection of the auto industry's expanding efforts in offering new vehicles with higher efficiency and improved environmental impact. Green Car Journal has been honoring the most important "green" vehicles every year at the LA Auto Show, since its inaugural award announced at the show in 2005.

Autotrader picks best cars for 2015's college grads

Sun, May 31 2015

Summer is here and the school season is winding to a close. That means millions of students will be graduating college and (hopefully) entering the workforce. For many, that will mean buying a new car suited to the new stage in life into which they will now be embarking. That can be a bewildering choice, especially for someone who's never bought a car before. Fortunately, Autotrader has come up with a short list of recommended cars – new and used – which it recommends to the graduating class of 2015. Among the site's top choices are some compelling crossovers and hatchbacks, including the Buick Encore, Chevy Trax, and Jeep Renegade, as well as the Honda Fit, Nissan Versa Note, Mazda3 and Fiat 500. Can't stretch to buying new, or don't see the point? Autotrader has also identified the Toyota Camry, Ford Fusion and even the Lexus IS as smart buys in the certified pre-owned category. "Any time someone goes through a major life change, such as graduating college, they need to determine if their current ride makes sense for their lifestyle, from both a financial and functional perspective," says Autotrader editor Brian Moody. "For example, while that hand-me-down SUV from your parents was nice when you turned 16, you may want to opt for a safer, more fuel-efficient car as you transition into the working world." Autotrader Names 10 Best Cars for Recent College Graduates ATLANTA, May 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- For many, graduating college is a milestone like no other – it represents a new chapter, a proud accomplishment and, fortunately or unfortunately, financial independence. Luckily for graduates who are in the market for a new car to suit their post-college lifestyle, Autotrader's expert editors say now is a great time to make a purchase, as dealerships are flush with affordable models that are fun, fuel-efficient and thoughtfully designed.

NHTSA could add 1M cars to GM recall

Wed, 13 Mar 2013


The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.
