Up for sale is a TRUE 1970 Monte Carlo SS. It had spent all of its life in Las Vegas up until about 6 months ago. The car is LAZER straight with the exception of 2 quarter size dings on the rear quarter panels; 1 on either side (paint is cracked a bit). This was caused during shipping as the original manifold was left unsecured in the trunk area. As for rust.... well, there is ZERO!!!! The underneath is extremely clean!!!! The paint is victory red and is nice looking. Definitely drivers quality but not a show stopper!!! There are occasional scratches here and there but nothing obvious by any means. The interior I would rate a 6 out of 10. Everything is nicely in tact but being 44 years old it could stand to be freshened up. The interior consists of bucket seats, power windows, power driver seat, "airplane shifter," and also the rare option, back then, of a map light in the rear view mirror. There are ZERO cracks in the dash. The interior was left original other than a floor tach and 2 pods on the 'a pillar' which show oil pressure and water temperature. An alpine sound system has been added to the glove compartment along with 2 front and 2 rear alpine speakers. 
Motor: 454  big block - original block punched out to a 468 along with a weiland supercharger. The rear main seal does leak a bit, as do all big blocks. Valve cover gaskets replaced along with full MSD tune-up.
Transmission: Turbo 400 3 speed with a 2800 stall - A nice cruiser on the highway doing 55-60mph. The oil pan gasket could stand to be replaced as it leaks a bit. 
12 bolt posi rear end with 373 gears.
Be cool radiator with 2 electric fans - original fan shroud comes with vehicle.
All lights work; all bulbs replaced.
Power steering and power front disk brakes.
Tilt steering.
Horn and wipers do not operate - perhaps a fuse issue.
Cowl fiberglass hood. 
2 1/2 exhaust from collectors back - you can hear this vehicle a mile away - It is VERY VERY loud!!
This is my 4th 1st generation Monte. It took me over a year to find it. Fortunately for my family and I, a business opportunity has come our way that we cannot pass by. Unfortunately, here I am listing my car but anyone looking for this SS is someone who has love for these cars and I'm sure will go to a great home!!!
I have a right to end the auction at any time as the vehicle is listed here locally in Chicago,IL.
Upon full paypal payment, allow 7-10 business days to arrange shipping.
I have a car note on it and I would need that time to receive the title from the bank.
Vehicle is to be purchased by its new owner as is. There is no guarantee or warranty on the vehicle. 
All information I provided above shows the vehicle details along with all its faults. 
Thank you kindly, in advance.
HAPPY  BIDDING!!!
Pictures were taken professionally by Chicago Auto Center in Bensenville, IL where I originally purchased the vehicle. I figured they would do the car true justice vs the camera on my iPhone.

GM to add 1,200 workers at 2 Michigan factories

Sat, Feb 29 2020

DETROIT — General Motors is adding 1,200 jobs at two Michigan factories to build midsize SUVs and two new luxury sedans. GM said Friday that its Lansing Delta Township plant will get a third shift and 800 more workers to build the Chevrolet Traverse and Buick Enclave SUVs, which have three rows of seats. The Lansing Grand River plant will get a second shift and 400 more workers to build two new Cadillac sedans, the CT4 and CT5. Employees laid off at other GM factories will fill the new jobs first, then workers will be added, GM spokesman Dan Flores said. The company has not determined yet how many new people will be needed, he said. Both additional shifts will start working sometime between April and June, the company said. Lansing Delta Township now employs about 2,500 salaried and blue-collar workers, while the Grand River plant has 1,400. GM sold more than 147,000 Traverse SUVs in the U.S. last year, a 0.4% increase from 2018. Enclave sales were up 3% to just over 51,000, according to Autodata Corp. Related Video:

Did the Chevy Corvette Z06 break 7 minutes at the Ring? Not likely

Wed, Jan 28 2015

"Just because it's on the internet doesn't make it true." That's rule number one, two and arguably, three, of surfing the world wide web. In today's example of this rule, we have the following. The website HorsepowerKings is claiming that a 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06, with the eight-speed automatic and Z07 package, managed to lap the Nurburgring Nordschleife in under seven minutes. To put that in perspective, that super-quick time would put the 650-horsepower, $97,000 (the price of a 2LZ with the Z07/8AT combo) Z06 a mere two seconds slower around the world's most challenging race track than the $929,000, 887-horsepower Porsche 918 Spyder Weissach. It's about eight seconds quicker than Nissan's own test of the GT-R Nismo Track Pack and 13 seconds faster than a Dodge Viper ACR. Unfortunately, Chevy says there isn't anything to it. We reached out to the Bowtie's Monte Doran, who confirmed that HK's claims are "not accurate." "Any one – a manufacturer, a journalist, a guy standing on the fence of the Ring – can claim a lap time. As such, we think the in-car video is essential to proving a time is real and credible, and Chevrolet will not release a lap until we have a video to substantiate the claim," Doran told Autoblog. "Chevrolet accumulated nearly 1,000 miles of testing on the Nurburgring with the Z06. During that time, we only had two opportunities to run a lap on video – and both were rained out. If we get a lap on video, we will post an official time." Doran finished by referencing the "only official lap time" for the Z06 – a 2:41 around the Virginia International Raceway. Frankly, we aren't terribly surprised by Chevy's position. One would imagine if the Z06 were matching million-dollar hypercars around the 'Ring, the company would literally be screaming about it from Renaissance Center's rooftop. As this is quite the opposite of that, though, we're betting that the real Z06 lap time - while still likely very, very fast – won't be quite quick enough to frighten the brightest and best of today's hypercars.

Cadillac CT6 production ceases January 2020 as part of D-Ham layoffs

Fri, Dec 6 2019

General Motors filed paperwork under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act with Michigan's Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity this week, detailing events to come at the automaker's Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly Plant. Starting February 28, 814 salaried and hourly workers at D-Ham, as its called, will be laid off. The 753 workers represented by the UAW will begin receiving offers in January to relocate to facilities in Michigan and Ohio, or buyout offers. As the 4-million-square-foot plant winds down through April 3 to a skeleton crew, the Cadillac CT6 ceases production in January 2020, and the last Chevrolet Impala comes off the line on February 28. The loss of the CT6 represents the end of Cadillac's latest brief, and highly regarded, adventure into flagship sedans. It might also mean the end of the 4.2-liter Blackwing twin-turbo V8 engine, at least for the moment. Both casualties are calamities. The death of the Impala closes the door on a nameplate in production for 52 years since 1957, having started off as a top-tier trim for the 1958 Bel Air known as the Bel Air Impala, once advertised with the line, "Lets you know you're the boss." As part of the new four-year labor agreement with the UAW, GM is keeping D-Ham open to build a new line of battery-electric vehicles, ultimately investing $3 billion and tripling employment to 2,225 workers when fully operational. The agreement described the coming EV as a "van" that would commence production in late 2021, but various reports say what's actually coming is a range of premium EVs in pickup and SUV bodystyles under the program codename BT1. The easy predictions put an electric GMC Sierra and Cadillac Escalade among the EV fold, but not until 2023, according to auto industry forecaster LMC Automotive. Before that, LMC claims an electric van will debut in late 2021, along with a battery-powered rebirth of the Hummer brand in pickup and SUV forms, also in late 2021.Â
