This is one of the nicest Monte Carlo's of this vintage that I have ever seen. It gets comments everywhere it goes. Simply stunning. There is not a speck of rust on this car, completely solid. You can eat off of the engine bay it's so clean. The underneath is as clean as the top, no rust all original and no repairs. The interior is great as well. Brand new carpet, brand new seats, brand new head liner. The outside features brand new paint that is flawless and beautiful. It shines and looks deep enough to put your hand in it! The wheels are also brand new American Racing torque thrust's with painted spokes and polished rim.
This car runs perfectly. Sounds pretty amazing too with brand new flowmaster dual exhaust done right. Including an h pipe and new hangers. Makes for that perfect, deep, throaty sound without being overly loud. It's just right. She starts right up the instant the key is turned. Never ever has it run hot, just purrs right along no matter what traffic is doing. It has separate gauges for engine temp, battery voltage and oil pressure. All stay exactly where they should. I've had it on the highway for a few trips and it runs at speed with no issues at all. She just floats down the road like a dream! No wandering, no vibrations.
The brakes are great. Power brakes with rotors up front. They haul her down as they should. The radio works but the previous owner removed the speakers before selling it. I've never bothered to replace them because I don't normally go very far in it and I love the sound that the engine makes. You can add them back if you like, it's already wired. No leaks at all. Also, all of the seals on this car are brand new. The A-arm bushings are also in great shape, a common problem with these cars. The body pucks are also in great shape, no sagging at all. Notice the body panel gaps. They are all perfect. Absolutely perfect. This body is straight as can be.
The chrome is also stunning. In amazing shape! One of my favorite things to do with this car is polish it's chrome and it is stunning how it shines. The vinyl top is also brand new and in perfect shape. The glass has no chips or cracks in it.This is a factory air car but it needs to be recharged. I never really need it considering the windows on this thing are massive! She only has 75k miles on it and it really shows. This is the first year for the Monte Carlo and finding one in this condition is truly rare. You won't be disappointed.
The only reason I am selling it is I have my eye on a local Mopar and this one has to go first. Yes, I really am thinking about crossing over to the "dark side" LOL. I bought this car at Mecum after going over it with a fine tooth comb beforehand. I was lucky (and determined) enough to win the highest bid. I've loved it ever since but the call of change gets louder and it's time to find another great car to enjoy. The pictures are from the day after I bought it. Still looks exactly the same. Feel free to contact me with any questions you might have and I'll be happy to help. Don't miss this one, it's a true gem!

Porsche, Jaguar continue dominance in 2015 JD Power APEAL study
Wed, Jul 22 2015The top of JD Power's 2015 APEAL Study has not changed much in the last year. Porsche remains No. 1 with Jaguar nipping at its heels, although both premium brands saw their overall score fall compared to 2014. For those that need a refresher, the APEAL Study looks at how "gratifying" a vehicle is to own and drive, rating cars and brands on a 1,000-point scale. The industry average for 2015 has increased from 794 to 798, while the total number of automakers that finished above the curve increased from 16 to 20. While Porsche and Jaguar finished at the top, their scores dropped eight and seven points, respectively, to 874 and 855. The top "non-premium" brand was Mini, which scored an impressive 825, up from 795. If the BMW-owned British marque is still a bit too premium for your tastes, last year's non-premium winner, Hyundai, did climb five points and is this year's runner up. At the opposite end of the scale, Smart sits at the very bottom of the rankings, with a score of 683 (it didn't appear on the 2014 rankings). Fiat also dropped, from fourth worst in 2014 to second worst in 2015, despite the 500 being named most appealing city car. Subaru made an impressive climb, from third worst to seventh, falling just 10 points shy of the industry average and two points south of the non-premium average. In the individual vehicle segments, eight brands earned multiple awards, with Ford, Chevrolet, and Porsche earning three apiece. Surprise segment victories included the new Ford Expedition, which beat out Chevy's popular Suburban. The Infiniti QX80 bested the likes of the Cadillac Escalade and Range Rover for best large luxury SUV, and the Dodge Challenger beat its muscle car rivals from Ford and Chevy. Most of the victories, though, were quite predictable. The Mazda6 and CX-5 took wins for the midsize sedan and compact SUV categories respectively, while the Volkswagen Golf captured the compact car win. The Ford F-150 won the large pickup category, while the Porsche Cayman was named most appealing compact premium sporty car.

2015 Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra recalled for steering issues
Thu, Sep 13 2018DETROIT — General Motors Co is recalling more than 1 million pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles in the United States due to issues with a temporary loss of power steering, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said. The recall is for 2015 models. They are: the Chevy Silverado 1500, Suburban and Tahoe, GMC Sierra 1500, Yukon and Yukon XL and Cadillac Escalade. The problem may cause difficulty steering the vehicle, especially at low speeds, increasing the risk of a crash, the auto safety regulator said in a document dated Sept. 12. The document did not highlight any reports of accidents and injuries, because of the power steering issue. GM dealers will update the power steering module software, free of charge for owners of the affected vehicles. In 2014, the No.1 U.S. automaker had recalled nearly 800,000 pickup trucks worldwide because of the same problem. GM did not immediately respond to a request for comment.Related Video:
GM's Reuss predicts 2016 Chevy Camaro will outperform Ford Mustang in every way
Tue, Apr 7 2015We aren't going to be seeing the next-generation Chevrolet Camaro until next month. But even though we know when we're going to see the new muscle car, it's totally unclear whether Chevy will dole out technical details. That means we can't answer the latest version of the age-old question: Camaro or Ford Mustang? Not surprisingly, General Motors North America President Mark Reuss has already stated his position, saying he was "very confident" that the sixth-generation Camaro will be faster, more agile and more efficient than the Ford. Reuss made his comments after saying he drove the new Camaro back-to-back with the Mustang the week prior. Reuss' statement came in a conversation with Fox News about the 2016 Camaro where he elaborated on the car's weight shedding and how it fit into GM's strategy on other new models. "There are some really cool things in the Camaro, that are quite different than the Malibu, [and] CT6," Reuss told Fox. As we reported previously, the Camaro will shed some 200 pounds by switching to aluminum and other lightweight composites for some of its components. With May 16 just over a month away, here's hoping Reuss decides to loose some other details on the next Camaro ahead of its debut. Related Video:
