Waterdown Ontario, Canada

Up for auction, is a 1987 Monte Carlo SS Aerocoupe. I purchased this car three and a half years ago from Charlotte Motor Speedway in Concord North Carolina. I purchased this car because as a 17 year old I bought an '87 Monte Carlo SS, and was attempting to re-live the past. Since I have owned it, I have put 500 miles on the car, hence the auction. This car has 15,000 original miles and appears to be 100% original down to the spark plugs. It runs and drives excellent and all options are in perfect working order, including the ice cold air conditioning. The only additions to the car were on it when I purchased it, which include an alarm system with remote keyless entry and Flowmaster mufflers. The tone is a few decibels above stock, not very loud at all. It has never seen winter, snow, salt, much less rain. I have not washed the car with water since owning it. There is NO rust on this car. Paint condition is 9.5 out of 10, I took 0.5 off because it could use polishing. Interior condition 9.5 out of 10, I took 0.5 off because there is a foot mark on the driver side carpet beside the gas pedal. Engine compartment is 10 out of 10 completely original. Undercarriage is 9 out of 10, as it has 15,000 miles on it. This car will not disappoint, as it is essentially a brand new car. IT NEEDS NOTHING. This car was purchased brand new at Dale Earnhardt Chev Olds and was in Alabama, Florida, Virginia and ended up in North Carolina where I bought it. This is 1 of 6052 produced in 1987 for Nascar rules, they did not produce this car in 1988 which was the final year for the G body. I will answer all questions to the best of my ability. I will send specific pictures if required, by email or text. The car is appraised currently at $23,000 Cdn. It is insured for that amount at $240/year through Hagerty Insurance. You are welcome to come and inspect the car personally or call anytime. Mike 905 690 4820. I am always available, so shipping, pick up, trailering, transport will not be an issue. Buyer is responsible for ALL shipping.

GM recalling 250,000 SUVs over door electronics

Mon, 20 Aug 2012

After a door-fire investigation that dates back to February, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially announced a recall today that affects around 250,000 General Motors SUVs for a faulty driver's door module. The recall applies to the Buick Rainier, Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, Isuzu Ascender and Saab 9-7X from the 2006 and 2007 model years, as well as the 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT and GMC Envoy XL for vehicles sold and/or registered in the Snow Belt.
Road salt use in these midwestern and northern states can lead to corrosion of the driver's door module on these GMT360 and GMT370 vehicles, which allows water to come in contact with the circuit board. If shorted out, the vehicle's power door locks and power windows will not work, and could possibly lead to overheating and, in some circumstances, a fire. No official word on how many total vehicles caught on fire, but back in June, 28 fires had been reported to the government agency. A fix for the problem is still being worked out, but all affected vehicle owners will be notified by GM.

Car and Driver 10Best list cracked by Tesla Model S, BMW 3 Series left off

Fri, Nov 21 2014

Car and Driver is keeping new blood pumping into its annual 10Best cars list with three new entries making it on for 2015 and a perennial favorite falling off. Among the biggest shocks this year is that the BMW 3 Series and 4 Series are no longer named, despite years of some portion of that lineup earning a mention. In another surprise, the Tesla Model S (specifically in S 60 trim to fit under the $80,000 cost cap) makes it to the 2015 roster and is the only electrically motivated member of the group. Despite the loss of the 3 Series, BMW isn't entirely shut out this year, because the M235i gets its name on the list. Car and Driver argues that the little coupe feels like a welcome throwback to the E46 chassis M3 of the early 2000s. In addition to the Model S, the final newbie to the annual group is the 2015 Ford Mustang GT. The inclusion of these new members knocks the Audi A6/A7 family and Ford Fiesta ST out from the 2014 rundown. The other seven models carry over from last year, including the Cadillac CTS, Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, Honda Accord, Mazda3, Mazda6, Porsche Boxster/Cayman and Volkswagen Golf/GTI. The 2015 10Best cars list certainly seems to have something for everyone from the hot hatch fan to the family man and even the green car driver, thanks to the addition of the Tesla. Head over to Car and Driver to read its detailed explanations for each vehicle's inclusion, but if you've got a difference of opinion or just really like the list, let us know in Comments.

Chevy Cruze CNG available from Crazy Diamond Performance

Thu, Aug 7 2014

Anyone out there who can somehow find a second way to link Pink Floyd to natural gas vehicles gets a prize. Because so far, we have one Michigan-based company called Crazy Diamond Performance (Shine On You Crazy Diamond being a longtime Floyd fave) that's setting out to convert Chevrolet Cruze vehicles to run on compressed natural gas (CNG). All in the name of cheaper fuel and domestic security, of course. Crazy Diamond says it can offer a converted CNG-powered Chevy Cruze for a price as low as $26,000. That four-cylinder version has 130 horsepower and an 8.5-gasoline-gallon-equivalent capacity that provides a full-tank range of as many as 250 miles. Pony up another $2,000 or so and the peppier, turbocharged CNG Cruze can be yours. The company says it will provide a 100,000-mile powertrain warranty and is trying to get EPA certification for its conversions. The selling points are cheaper fuel (CNG is about half the cost of regular gasoline in some parts of the country) and homeland security (CNG reduces dependence on foreign oil). The only production passenger vehicle CNG in the US is the Honda Civic CNG, which sells in very limited numbers. Check out Crazy Diamond's flyer here.
