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.

MotorWeek looks back at 1995 Chevy Tahoe, GMC Yukon

Sat, Jun 20 2015

MotorWeek's Retro Review series gives us a nostalgic look back at some of the best sports cars and luxury sedans available in the 1980s and '90s. For its latest clip, the show shifts gears to remember the 1995 Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon. Similar to the success of crossovers today, SUVs were tallying big sales and making big money for automakers in the mid-'90s. The Tahoe and Yukon filled slots in the market as steps down from the larger Suburban. These twins weren't wanting for space, though, with plenty of room to haul around a family. MotorWeek came away generally impressed too, and called the models some "of the better riding sport utilities we've ever experienced." This review comes with some jazzy, electric guitar licks to enjoy in the background.

EcoCar3 will convert Camaro to bitchin' eco rides

Sat, Apr 26 2014

In the 47-year-history of the Chevrolet Camaro, there have been countless college-age kids spending a ton of time getting under the hood and souping 'em up. Now, General Motors is adding a twist to the concept by donating 16 Camaros for the EcoCar challenge that puts university teams together to wring out better fuel-efficiency out of various vehicles. No word on whether there will be donuts on anyone's lawn, as suggested by 80's punks the Dead Milkmen, but the idea's never a bad one. EcoCar3 will feature 16 teams such as Arizona State, Penn State, Ontario's University of Waterloo and, of course, Detroit's Wayne State University. They'll spend the next four years "[reducing] environmental impact, while maintaining the muscle and performance expected from this iconic American car," as the EcoCar organizers say. The goal is to maintain body design and safety standards while boosting efficiency and lowering emissions, but the actual process is far more complicated than that description suggests. The California Air Resources Board (CARB) and Bosch are among the sponsors of the contest, which is also put on by the US Department of Energy and managed by Argonne National Laboratory. Penn State won Year Two of the three-year EcoCar 2 competition with its E85 plug-in hybrid electric vehicle converted out of a Chevy Malibu. The grand-prize winner of EcoCar2 will be announced in June. Check out the EcoCar3 website and see the announcement video below for more details. This content is hosted by a third party.

More Corvette Stingray Factoids: Vanishing panel gaps and 26-mpg LT1

Thu, 28 Feb 2013

During January's Detroit Auto Show, we managed a longer than expected wandering tag-team interview with C7 Corvette chief engineering exec Tadge Juechter (pictured above), and LT1 engine boss Jordan Lee (pictured below). They are, quite honestly, two of the very nicest bigshot lads to ever walk the engineering corridors of an American manufacturer. Both are enthralled by what they're doing for a day job. So are we.
We've followed the pre-sale anticipation for the Chevrolet C7 Corvette Stingray like an Oreck vacuum yanking every speck of dirt from a well-trampled carpet. Everything is reportable and contains a grain of further knowledge about this dramatically important and cheered-for car, as it continues to be pressured into representing all that is superior about the American dream. The Corvette wears one heavy cloak.
So, most of what was talked about has been expertly reported already right here on Autoblog. But, looking through our notes again, both Jeuchter and Lee added facts to the buzzing mix.
