You are bidding on an original 1972 factory 402 big-block Monte Carlo. This survivor still retains its original serial number-matching 402 engine... I personally verified that the partial VIN stamped into the engine block ID pad matches the VIN of the car.. This car is going to make someone very proud and happy... it's a very cool car.

The car is in sound running and driving condition. It runs well and strong, steers well, and brakes well. In the past 5000 miles, the front suspension has been rebuilt, the tires replaced, the brakes done, front end aligned, new shock absorbers, new exhaust system, and new alternator. The car shows just over 70K miles on the odometer. It runs smoothly and does not smoke at all. The transmission shifts exactly as it should. It has its original 12-bolt rear end still in place as well... all the drivetrain is original.

Factory Rally Wheels in good condition. The car is very dry with virtually no rust; very, very minor hints in the lower quarter on one side, and minor surface rust in the expected places. The body is overall fairly straight. There is a rub on the driver's rear quarter above the wheel lip, the passenger door has a dent, and there's a minor crease/dent in the passenger rear quarter. The previous owner removed the lower section of vinyl between the rear window and trunk to look for rust; there isn't any. Trunk is dry as well. Windows all roll up and down, glass in very good condition all around. Dash is uncut and original, with an aftermarket stereo in an under dash housing. Dash pad looks nice. Factory A/C car with everything there, but not currently operational; will need to be recharged, etc. Interior has mismatched seat upholstery, missing door panels, and needs carpet/headliner as well.

The original color was Cortez Silver Metallic. It now wears an older repaint in a very pretty Cinnamon Red metallic; very pretty. Paint is still shiny, and the car still looks good despite the small issues.

I will include a straight and complete passenger door, rear deck lid, and miscellaneous trim, extra parts, etc. with buy-it-now purchase. They may also be purchased seperately.

Being a numbers-matching big-block first-generation Monte Carlo that's also virtually rust free, this car is a perfect candidate for a full restoration. As pretty as the current paint is, Cortez Silver is probably my favorite finish on these early Monte's. Also, the ORIGINAL build sheet for the car was present and is included along with an original owner's manual.

You may call me at 360-936-9257 with any questions. While every effort has been made to describe the vehicle accurately, it is a 41-year-old classic vehicle and being sold as-is, with no warranties expressed or implied. Shipping is the full responsibility of the buyer. I will make myself and the vehicle available for pickup and loading of the vehicle. Please be prepared to remit payment in full within 3 days of auction end via cash, bank wire transfer, or certified major bank cashier's check *(must wait a reasonable amount of time to verify clearance/authenticity).

Chevy exec confirms SS production model reveal at Daytona on Feb 16

Wed, 06 Feb 2013

The 2014 Chevrolet SS will make its racing debut for the 2013 Daytona 500, but the production version of the car will get its official unveiling on February 16 in Daytona, a week before The Great American Race. According to a report by Automotive News, the reveal has been confirmed by Jim Campbell, Chevy's US vice president of performance and motorsports. With the departure of the Dodge Charger, the new Chevrolet racecar will be the only competitor to feature a V8, rear-wheel-drive layout in both street and NASCAR form.
NASCAR fans will be able to see the new fullsize performance-oriented sedan on display in the festivities leading up to the Daytona 500, but the car won't go on sale until later in the year. The Australian-built Chevy SS will be a low-volume performance model, and it will be priced above the 2014 Impala, which starts at $27,535.

Opel CEO talks new EV, will likely be fresh face for Chevy, too

Wed, Jul 23 2014

The rumored demise of the Opel Ampera has been confirmed, but there's good news, too. Opel CEO Karl-Thomas Neumann has been busy Tweeting information about the brand's next plug-in vehicle, admitting that the Ampera is on the way out but that plug-in vehicles are here to stay. His Tweets, in full, read: After the eventual run-out of the current generation Ampera, we'll introduce a successor product in the electric vehicle segment. Our next electric vehicle will be part of our massive product offensive – with 27 new vehicles in the 2014-2018 time frame. We see eMobility as important part of the mobility of tomorrow and we will continue to drive down costs & deliver affordability. As we learned earlier this week, the Ampera will not be refreshed when the current Chevy Volt is updated, most likely because of slow sales. Opel sold just 332 Amperas in the first five months of 2014. For now, General Motors is still building Amperas in Michigan for export to Europe. So, what might this new EV mean for the General Motors plug-in fleet? Official spokespeople are being quiet, but we think it's safe to say the new EV Neumann is talking about is not simply a rebadged Chevy Spark EV. This is the first official word about an entirely new EV, and we expect it will come to both the Chevrolet and Opel brands.

Helicopter crashes on Top Gear Korea set while chasing Corvette ZR1

Mon, 11 Feb 2013

The formula of Top Gear Korea is seemingly about the same as it is everywhere else in the world, including the flagship British original: involve interesting cars in fantastical situations with charismatic hosts. That prescription has proved to be pretty reliable over the years, and has lead to some truly memorable and exciting pieces of television.
Something like that was undoubtedly what the Korean producers were after when they lined up this segment - a drag race between a Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 and an AH1 Cobra military helicopter. The planners almost certainly did not expect the filming of the segment to go quite as wrong as it actually did, with the helicopter actually crashing into the dirt after the "drag race" had been completed. Thankfully, we're told that no one was seriously injured in the crash, but the footage, in the video below, is pretty damn chilling to watch, nevertheless.
