1972 Chevy Monte Carlo

Running and driving 1972 Monte Carlo. Has a built 5.7 Liter sbc 350 cid. Competition race cam, headers, edelbrock intake, 4 bbl carter carburetor, HEI Borg Warner distributor. New Radiator, water pump, fuel pump, fan belt, spark plugs/wires, torque convertor, and drive shaft. I feel like I’m forgetting a few things. Anyway, just changed oil, transmission oil, set advanced timing, and put in an under dash kill switch. Just had transmission rebuilt and shifts smooth and right on time. Also, installed new kickdown cable.  Duel glass pack exhaust, sounds like a beast…if you don’t like your neighbors start when they’re sleeping. Factory options/features, A/C blows, Power Brakes (brakes are good, no problems stopping)front disc brakes, power steering (steers easy and straight, no alignment problems). All gauges work, (Fuel, temp, generator/alternator, brake). Clock doesn’t work. But, it does have a Sony X-Plod CD/WMA/MP3 player w/ remote that does have a clock. Accompanied by two 3-way Pioneer 6x9 speakers.  Rally Wheels w/trim rings on all four, hankook white wall tires all the way around with around 90% tread life on them, and a full rally wheel spare in the trunk. Also has a shift kit installed.  Also put in dual truck air horns, once again if you don’t like your neighbors sound the horn. The interior is in amazing shape all seats are in excellent condition, door panels are in excellent condition, head liner is perfect, floor boards are solid and carpet is in excellent condition. There is a crack on the dash driver side (pictured), and a small tear just under passenger side rear quarter glass (pictured). That is all. All glass is good no cracks, all windows work. The body is straight but there are just a few dings here and there absolutely nothing major at all, a little surface rust under rear windshield. If you know these cars you know most of them have had this at one point or another. Because of the design of car (pictured). It is where water and moisture collect because of shape of rear windshield, this is a California car, no snow, no salted roads, no rust anywhere else. Trunk floor is solid. Rockers solid. Quarters and fenders solid. It has a 20 foot paint job, meaning it looksgood from 20 feet. There are some chips here and there, but it still shows very well.  This is a very clean and very cool1st generation Monte Carlo. It runs and drives and stops without a problem, it has never been chopped, cut , or lowered. There has been a lot of time money and effort put into this beauty, but it is still honest to coming off the line in 1972. It just needs someone to take it the last 5-10%. I also have it listed locally and may end auction early if sold. Clear title, up-to-date registration. Drive this car home if want. Please don’t make an offer if you aren’t really going to buy it, do your research on shipping costs to your location from Los Angeles, California. Happy bidding!

Dodge vs. Chevy tug-of-war taken to the extreme

Mon, 17 Dec 2012

They say "idle hands are the devil's playground," but said playgrounds grow to Disney-sized proportions when a pair of jacked-up trucks, two egos, a chain and an empty mall parking lot are involved. Proof of this is the video below, which shows a Cummins-powered Dodge Ram circa 2006 to 2008 chained tail-to-tail with what looks to be a gasoline-powered Chevrolet Silverado from the late 1990s or early 2000s.
We don't necessarily have to tell you who wins this battle, but we'll let you see for yourself the lengths the "winning" driver goes to prove his point. There's plenty of foul language in the video below, so beware that this might be Not Safe For Work, and not that we should have to tell you, but please, do not try this at home.

As promised, Chevrolet and GMC are offering a live webcast of the world premiere for the all-new 2014 Silverado 1500 and Sierra 1500. After being teased with spy shots and blurry images like the one above for ages, now is the time to see the trucks in the metal, for real (well, as 'real' as it gets on a webcast, at any rate).

We anticipate having loads of images full technical information to share after the webcast, too, so truck aficionados should stay tuned. We'll also be bringing you live images of both trucks too, when we see them on the show floor at next month's Detroit Auto Show.
