1984 Monte Carlo Ss Very Nice Driver 70619 Miles on 2040-cars
Vanceburg, Kentucky, United States
I bought this car on eBay a few years ago. The first part of the description is what the previous owner wrote
and I have found it accurate. 1984 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS. Runs and drives good (currently driven everyday and has current NC tags and inspection). Previous owner has swapped out the 305/3-speed combo for a 350/overdrive automatic (200R). Smoke-free. Also has a new tweed headliner and matching visors (previous owner had started to restore). Front end is lowered with drop spindles, rear springs are cut. Ball joints and bushings where replaced when the work was done. Wheels are stock, but in good shape. Power steering. Front disc brakes. Has optional 3.42 rear gears. Aftermarket gauges for H2O, Oil and volt. Fresh rebuild on the engine (approx 3000 mi). Engine has pop-up Keith Blacks, polished dual plane aluminum intake, and Holley carb. Dual Flowmasters. Battery is new and radiator was replaced when the engine was changed. AC compressor has been removed and I don't know the condition/function of the rest of the system. Cruise control does not work. Electric door locks were still, so I've unhooked the solenoids so they work manually. Note: A few people have questioned the validity of the car being a true SS. It is and the title verifies that. In 1984 the bench seat and column shift was an option for the SS and about 15% of the SS’s sold were like that. What I have done to the car: I have changed the oil and driven it approximately 1000 miles since purchase. I have added chrome valve covers and new chrome air breather. I didn’t like the tires so the front ones are new. All new interior upholstery New carpet New window felts New power window motors New outside door handles New door seals New trunk seal New door hinge kits New paint New Z28 style cowl hood scoop No cruise No air conditioning No power door locks When I got the car it had very little rust. The lip at the bottom of the trunk lid was the worst. That was repaired and water access was stopped. I drive the car to work a couple days a week in the summer on nice days. The paint looks good from a few feet out but is not perfect. It has a few medium sized runs that are noticeable on close inspection. It has never failed to start and run for me. It runs pretty strong for a big car. I believe the mileage to be accurate at 70619 currently. The car has a couple of fluid leaks. They are not bad enough that I have to check the fluids every time I drive it but they will spot the floor when it’s parked. I think one is the power steering unit and the other I’m not sure about. There are a couple of small cracks in the dash and the instrument cluster panel needs some attention. I know there are some things I am forgetting so if you are interested in this car please ask questions or even better, come see it. This is not a show car but it would be the perfect candidate for making one. It is as solid of a 1984 car your likely to find. The photos will show the car on the trailer the day I bought it and a few others of it now. |

GM cars and SUVs recalled for leaking transmission fluid
Thu, Nov 5 2020General Motors is recalling more than 194,000 vehicles from 2018 to 2020 due to transmission fluid leaks. The leaks stem from an auto stop-start component that may have been installed with loose or missing bolts. The leaking fluid can affect the transmission's performance, and if it leaks onto a hot exhaust component, could potentially cause a fire. GM says that to date, it knows of no accidents or injuries related to the defect. The issue affects models from all four GM divisions. From Chevrolet, the affected vehicles are: 2018 Malibu, 2018–2019 Cruze, 2018–2020 Equinox, 2018–2020 Traverse, 2019–2020 Blazer At Buick, the following models are included: 2018–2019 LaCrosse, 2019–2020 Encore, 2019–2020 Enclave, At GMC, the recall includes: 2018–2020 Terrain, 2019–2020 Acadia Cadillac has two affected vehicles: 2019–2020 XT4 and 2020 XT6 The recall is scheduled to begin in mid-December. Owners of the affected vehicles will be contacted. Dealers will inspect the transmission accumulator, and replace those with loose or missing bolts.
New recall issued in 2019 Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra brake software saga
Tue, Feb 11 2020General Motors (GM) has issued a new recall for select 2019 Chevy Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 pickup trucks that aims to resolve a faulty fix for a previous recall. According to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) campaign No. 20V055000, a software update for the Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM) could cause the electronic brake assist to be disabled. The NHTSA first launched a recall for 463,995 Silverados, Sierras, and Cadillac CT6es on December 12, 2019 due to a software issue in the electronic brake control module (EBCM) that could disable the electronic stability control (ESC) and anti-lock braking system (ABS). As a response and resolution to that recall, GM began to reprogram the software in affected vehicles. GM later learned that the fix was creating a different problem. The installed software had its own error that was disabling the electronic brake assist. If customers see “Service Brake Assist” or “Service ECS" diagnostic warnings, they should park the vehicle and have it towed to a dealership, GM warns. While GM was going through the process of testing, pinpointing the issue, determining action and working with the NHTSA, safety experts have criticized Chevrolet and GMC for not reacting promptly and appropriately. According to the recall, 148,055 are now affected, all of which do not meet the standards of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 126, "Electronic Stability Control" and 135, "Light Vehicle Brake Systems." To fix the braking issue, GM will once again reprogram the software. GM began notifying owners of the recall on February 10, 2020. Related Video:
Cadillac XT4 crossover to be built in Kansas City
Mon, Jan 8 2018Cadillac's upcoming XT4, a crossover we've previously known as the XT3 in a long series of spy shots of heavily camouflaged mules, will be built at General Motors' assembly plant in Kansas City on the same platform as the Chevrolet Malibu, Bloomberg reports, citing people familiar with the plan. That will give Cadillac another entry in the red-hot luxury crossover segment and, GM hopes, help to reverse a sales slump in the U.S. It'll also breath life into the Kansas City plant that makes the slow-selling Malibu, where GM cut a third shift last year, by sharing the assembly line between the crossover and sedan and defraying costs for each vehicle. The XT4 was known most recently as the XT3, with styling cues based on the Escala concept sedan from 2016. It's slightly smaller than the XT5, Cadillac's top-selling vehicle, and will also augment the full-size Escalade in Cadillac's stable of SUVs when it makes its expected debut later this year. Cadillac last week reported its second-highest-ever sales mark with 356,467 vehicles, an increase of 15.5 percent over 2016. But that mark papers over an 8 percent sales decline in the U.S. to 156,440 vehicles. The luxury brand is on a hot streak in China, where sales jumped 50.8 percent last year to 175,489 units.Related Video: Image Credit: Brian Williams Plants/Manufacturing Cadillac Chevrolet GM Crossover sales cadillac xt5 cadillac xt4 cadillac xt3
