I am relisting my 1978 Factory 4 speed Monte Carlo I bought new in December 1978, as I don't believe people realized quite what this car is.  I get that it may never receive the attention of many of the fine machines from the vintage muscle car era, though also believe that this particular Monte is worth quite a bit more than the high bid it received the first go around (I do appreciate those that did show interest in it).  This unbelievable original paint beauty has brought home multiple Super Chevy Show and other regional national event trophies & plaques and continues to draw attention wherever it goes.  The original factory paint (35 years of hand rubbing and maticulous care) will blow you away, as will the laser straight body panels, chrome, & other trim (parking lot ding prone panels repaired by high quality show car painter in '89).  This car hasn't seen rain in more than 30 years and has never been kept in less than a dry, finshed and enclosed garage its entire existance.  I included photos this time of the original newspaper ad the dealer ran in '78 for this "one of a kind - Sporty fellow" as they referred to it (LOL), the build sheet, the original warranty book, the original Dealer Temporary Permit Application signed by my father and dealer that is stamped 12/22/1978, this was about a month before I turned 16.  I bought a beater 4x4 my jr year of HS as my everyday driver to "save" this one and that's when it bacame a fair weather only car and how I was able to perserve it, as a teenager my siblings used to refer to it as the my "shrine".  On top of being a black, original LG3 (305) and saginaw M20 4 speed (1 of 1,719 in '78) Monte, it was also ordered with T-Top and Posi Rear with dealer installed 3.23 gears.  The frame and undercarrage are equally as clean as the top of the car.   The interior is near perfect with mostly original surfaces (all interior panels and trim are original to the car and in near new condition) as are all the original weatherstripping (absolutely like factory new), I redid the headliner in 2001 and a couple years ago re-dyed any plastic pieces that were beginning to fade, and replaced the carpet.  The dash, seats and door panels look as good as they did the day I brought it home in '78, the steering wheel is a LaCarra red leather wrapped C-3 Corvette style wheel (factory tilt column).  The car was ordered w/o AC though did receive the Lux Seat package as well as HD suspension(F40), HD radiator & HD electrical system.  The dealer installed the half vinyl roof (its original and like new condition also) and the rearend gears in place of  the "performance" 2.73 option.  In '96 with 46K (now has 55K) miles on the car I pulled the original 305 and Saginaw trans (they go with the car) and added the GM Crate ZZ3 350 (aluminum head & roller cam - 345 HP) motor and Borg Warner Super T-10 4 speed (from a '77 Z28).  Accessories include CenterForce Dual Friction clutch, Hurst Indy Shifter, Edelbrock (#1406) 600 carb, Edelbrock TES ceramic coated headers, extremely sneaky quiet 2.5" Dynamax Turbo mufflers with stock looking exhaust tips, Hotchkis springs, KYB Gas Shocks, Autometer tach & underdash guages, Alpine CD,   Billet valve covers, Lokar dip stick, K&N aircleaner and the carb and ignition were custom dialed in for max performace.  Wheels are 16" Billet Centerlines and Tires are Goodrich ZRs, while they still have almost full tread and look new, should probably be replaced if anything other than cruising and car shows are on your agenda - no cracking or signs of age, they've just lost their stickiness that made them an ultra high performance street tire.  I relined brakes pads and calipers less than 500 miles ago.  Everything works and the car is extremely solid.  Never been hit, rusted, pulled apart, or otherwise molested, even all the glass is original and near perfect.  This is a relatively light car (<3,100 lb) and well balanced and performs extremely well, it accelerates hard, handles fantastic and stops straight under hard braking. The condition of this maticulously cared for rare 4 speed equipped Performance and Show Monte will flat blow you away, people ask me frequently who painted it and when was it restored.  I hate to sell it though unfortunately must choose between it and a Corvette I bought several years ago.  I am not interested in any trades, see my CarDomain webpage for additional history and photos.  http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3156772/1978-chevrolet-monte-carlo/  you may reach me via email anytime: ac216@comcast.net   The car is in the Atlanta area, I would be glad to allow you to inspect it if your serious.  This car will be sold as is, no warranty.  A $500 non refundable deposit is required in 48 hours if my reserve is met and you are the highest bidder, funds to clear my bank before you take the car.

Weekly Recap: Bentley Bentayga leads luxury SUV charge at Frankfurt

Sat, Sep 12 2015

The Bentley Bentayga is launching a new era of ultra high-end sport utility vehicles that will see luxury makers vie for the world's richest and most exclusive customers. The Bentayga is Bentley's first SUV, and it will formally debut next week at the Frankfurt Motor Show. It's loaded with Bentley's best technology and features, led by a 600-horsepower W12 engine. The mission is simple: stop giving up sales to other companies by not having an SUV in its portfolio. "It creates an entirely new category of ultra-luxury SUV, where there are currently few rivals," IHS Automotive analyst Ian Fletcher said in a report. But Bentley and the Bentayga will soon face stiff competition. Archrival Rolls-Royce will produce its own crossover to be built in England, though timing is unclear. Lamborghini has approved plans for a ute that will be assembled in Italy and launch in 2018. Even the sportier British brands are getting into the market. Aston Martin will make a crossover version of the DBX concept shown earlier this year in Geneva, and Jaguar is launching the F-Pace crossover, which will debut in Frankfurt. These new entries will invigorate a segment that's comprised of the Mercedes G63 AMG and the Land Rover Range Rover SV Autobiography, and Bentley is poised to grab a large share of it, Fletcher noted. IHS forecasts Bentayga sales could hit 3,000 units per year in 2017 and 2018, pushing total Bentley sales to more than 10,000 in the next few years. The vehicle will also get plug-in hybrid and diesel variants to widen its reach. The Bentayga is a sales grab, for sure, but Bentley took care to ensure the SUV remained true to the brand. It's laden with the top-shelf wood, leather, and metal, and it comes standard with an expansive panoramic glass roof. It also has intelligent features like electronic night vision and an optional responsive off-road system that can be configured to adapt to eight different settings. It's a different kind of Bentley, but it's a harbinger of things to come for the world's richest luxury makers. Other News & Notes Toyota debuts next-gen Prius Toyota revealed the next-generation of its iconic fuel-sipping hybrid, the 2016 Prius, at an event in Las Vegas. The car promises 10-percent gains in fuel efficiency, though actual figures – and even powertrain specifics – were not revealed. We estimate that could mean about 56 miles per gallon in city driving and 53 on the highway.

Nissan Leaf keeps plug-in vehicle sales crown for 6th straight month

Thu, May 1 2014

And Nissan makes it 14 in a row. For the 14th straight month, the all-electric Leaf has had "record sales," according to Nissan's marketing team. What that means is that for that particular month (in this case, April) no matter what year you look at, the car sold more than it ever did before. For April 2014, the 2,088 Leafs sold represents a 7.8-percent increase from 2013. Nissan's director of EV sales and marketing, Toby Perry, said in a statement that the "new market" of Cincinnati made the top 25 list for Leaf sales areas in April, so the car's popularity continues to ebb and flow across the US. Over at Chevy, the Volt sold 1,548 units in April, reaching a year-to-date total of 5,154. The Leaf is outpacing that with 7,272 YTD sales. In 2013, the Volt outsold the Leaf by about 500 vehicles, but Leaf sales are up 33 percent year-over-year while Volt is down 7.1 percent. The Leaf has also outsold the Volt for six straight months. But we're excited for every eco-car sale, and that's why we'll have our monthly detailed write-up of the rest of the plug-ins, hybrids and diesel vehicles available soon. Until then, discuss.
