Chevrolet Monte Carlo Base Model on 2040-cars
Milton Freewater, Oregon, United States
This beautiful 1970 Monte Carlo has been assembled over the course of several years, with much attention to detail and built to be driven on a regular basis. The body is free of squeaks and rattles, the window glass is adjusted so there is virtually no wind noise while driving, and the alignment allows fantastic handling with zero tire wear. The cowl hood is all steel with a reinforcement along both sides, full length, and a support bracket to eliminate the flutter along the top edge of the opening associated with high speed when drag racing. The tires are all perfectly balanced so there is no vibrations at or above freeway speeds. There is zero curb rash on any of the wheels. The interior is incredibly comfortable with an extra 1/2" layer of high density foam backing built into the upholstery. The front seat back frames were modified to eliminate the headrest, without simply removing them and laying the fabric over the top of the opening. The seat belts are custom made with aircraft style buckles, DOT approved, and color match is spot on. The beauty has the look and the sound to turn heads wherever you go, and it will run consistent at the track on pump 91 octane fuel run after run with absolutely no issues. The motor had a very recent tune up with new spark plugs, new plug wires custom fit to run under the headers and across the back of the motor, to the HEI distributor with MSD 6AL spark box. This unit has a rev limiter featured as well. The transmission is a TH350 with a Hughes torque converter and a Hughes deep cast aluminum pan as well. The pan has a drain plug, but the fluid and filter are changed regularly. The rear axle is a BOP 10 bolt, with 3.73:1 gears on an Auburn posi unit. It hooks up straight and makes no noise. The gears are very quiet as are the bearings. Wheels are 15 X 8 in the rear, 15 X 3.5 front. Tires are Mickey Thompson 295-65-15 and Firestone 215-75-15. Both sets have more than 70% tread remaining.

2015 Chevy Tahoe gets Police Patrol Vehicle treatment
Thu, 07 Nov 2013That was fast. Mere days after showing a Police Concept based on the 2015 Tahoe at the SEMA Show, Chevrolet has announced that it will build a PPV model based on the SUV to do battle with the Ford Police Interceptor Utility (Explorer) and Dodge Durango Special Service.
You'll recall that the Tahoe has been police staple for several years, predating both the Explorer and Durango police variants, so the fact that the new model would spawn a police variant is hardly surprising. Like the civilian model, the 2015 PPV benefits from a more efficient 5.3-liter, direct-injection V8 that pumps out 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque. It also features more high-strength steel, offering better crash protection, on top of optional safety items like lane departure warning, forward collision alert and a Safety Alert Seat.
The press release is rather light on police-specific items, aside from the auxiliary battery, which keeps the myriad of electronics in a modern police car running even when the engine isn't. Lightbars, 17-inch steel wheels on Goodyear Eagle RS-A tires and a push bar round out the mods for the Tahoe PPV. The cabin features a revised center console and room for laptop and other equipment mounts.
Corvette Stingray Shooting Brake under consideration by Callaway [w/poll]
Mon, 18 Mar 2013Callaway has released a few renderings of a design study for a shooting brake version of the C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. The company says it wants to create a long-roof version of America's sports car to offer buyers more interior room and a vehicle with "unique style." The company says it will use structural carbon fiber for the new body bits, which suggests the conversion shouldn't add too much more weight to the Corvette. Along with a few mechanical tweaks, the Callaway Corvette Stingray AeroWagon could breeze past the 200 miles per hour barrier.
Provided that they get enough interest, Callaway estimates they will be able to effect the changes on the Chevrolet for around $15,000, and says the conversion work should be available through its network of dealers. You can check out the brief press release below for more information, or head over to the Callaway site to plunk down a deposit - but before you do, we want to know... do you find this C7 wagon interesting?

GM diesel pickups first to undergo extra EPA, CARB testing
Tue, Sep 29 2015The effects of Volkswagen's long-running diesel emissions evasion are starting to spill over to other automakers, but General Motors is taking things in stride. The 2.8-liter, four-cylinder Duramax in the 2016 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon is the first engine to get extra scrutiny by the Environmental Protection Agency and the California Air Resources Board, Automotive News reports. Rather than just the usual in-lab test, it's also being checked on the road. However, the extra evaluation shouldn't have any impact on when the trucks with his mill hit dealers later this fall. "We're in our final stages of the EPA certification, and our launch is on track," Chevy spokesperson Otie McKinley tells Autoblog. The four-cylinder diesel in the trucks makes 181 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque, and the automaker is touting low NOx production. In the announcement for the Colorado's specs, the company calls it "the cleanest diesel truck engine ever produced by General Motors." The tech includes exhaust gas recirculation to lower combustion temperatures and improve emissions. There's also a urea tank like on the bigger diesels for full-size trucks, and it gets refilled in time with oil changes. An indication on the instrument panel lets drivers know when that's needed, too. Even with the more demanding testing, the company doesn't seem too worried about the four-cylinder passing. "Part of our development process is on-road and off-road [laboratory] testing," Scott Yackley, Chevy Trucks assistant chief engineer, said to Automotive News. In the wake of the VW scandal, the EPA has pledged more rigorous testing. Before, on-road emissions evaluations were largely limited to heavy-duty vehicles, but the agency has decided to apply the checks more often to other models. There's also now greater cooperation with Canadian authorities.
