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.

Next Chevy Volt will be 2016 model and ride on new chassis

Fri, Mar 7 2014

What do we know about the 2016 Chevy Volt? Well, for now, all we can do is try to put the puzzle together without the box. Thankfully, a new batch of pieces has arrived from a new report in Edmunds, which says that the 2016 model year will introduce the second generation of a car that hasn't been dramatically updated since it went on sale in 2010. The new Volt is getting an "evolutionary styling change" and will ride on a new front-drive platform that has been developed by General Motors. GM's Kevin Kelly told AutoblogGreen that he has "no comment on future products," but he did acknowledge that Chevrolet is working on a second-generation Volt, "but I can't say anything about timing." Everybody already knew that a next-gen Volt is coming, so that's not a surprise. What we don't know is any real concrete information on the car itself. The few tidbits of information we do have help define the outlines of the next version of Chevy's halo car, but they're not confirmed yet. For the record, they range from the eye-raising (a $10,000 price drop) to the logical (20 percent more electric range). We can't see the whole picture yet, but the pieces do point to the 2016 Volt, which would be released next year sometime, being a much bigger deal than the last update, when the Volt's range was increased by three electric miles thanks to a battery capacity increase of 16 kWh to 16.5.

What we know, and think we know, about the 2016 Chevy Volt

Wed, Aug 13 2014

With the next-gen Chevy Volt due to make an appearance at the Detroit Auto Show early next year, bits and pieces about the new car are making their way into the press. Perhaps most importantly, the new Volt is going to have better "fuel economy and efficiency," according to GM executive vice president Mark Reuss. The current Volt gets 98 MPGe and 37 miles per gallon on premium fuel. It also has a 38-mile electric-only range. We don't know how GM will improve the efficiency or to what degree, but the logical options include making the car lighter, giving it better aerodynamics and/or improving the powertrain. To that end, one of the big things we don't know for sure includes information on the new gas-powered engine. Forbes says it will be a downsized 1.0-liter, three-cylinder mill instead of the 1.4-liter, four-cylinder used in the current model, which could certainly help the car be more efficient. The new Volt is also going to have more technology, which shouldn't surprise anyone. GM is now openly talking about how it will change the way it markets the Volt, shifting away from the mass-market mentality to focus on the regions where the car is already popular. "There's a Northeast and West Coast market for Volt, and there's nothing wrong with that," Chevy chief marketing officer Tim Mahoney told Forbes. There are rumors that the new Volt will have seating for five by adding a seat in the back. This is something a lot of current Volt owners would love, but we've heard nothing official hinting that this would be the case. We expect the battery to be the new 17.1-kWh version, or maybe even have a capacity increase, so GM would have to seriously repackage the pack to eliminate the ridge that runs from between the front seats and then back to the rear two seats. If you've heard anything official, do let us know.

Weekly Recap: Chevy and Alfa plot comeback strategies

Sat, Jun 27 2015

Chevrolet and Alfa Romeo were two of the 20th Century's most iconic automotive brands. Chevy embodied America's post-war power and confidence. Alfa was the definition of the stylish Italian sports car. They reached halcyon heights in the 1950s and '60s, before declining precipitously amid new competition, changing consumer tastes, and uneven corporate management. Both say 2015 is the start of something better, and this week Chevy and Alfa laid out ambitious plans and showcased new cars that they hope will make them more relevant this year, and in the coming years. Each brand sits at its own crossroads, and their paths forward are as different as the Chevy Cruze and the Alfa Romeo Giulia. Chevy is still a sales beast, as evidenced by its volume of 4.8 million vehicles sold around the world last year. Chevy executives are fond of saying one of their cars is sold every seven seconds, which illustrates the strength and reach of a car brand that is the fourth largest in the world. "Make no mistake about it, we are a brand for the people," said General Motors North America president Alan Batey. But he wants consumers to want to buy a Chevy for its design and technology, not simply because it's affordable. That starts with all Chevys now featuring a distinctive a family look, with sporty cues from the Corvette or strong lines that riff on the Silverado pickup. "We want people to fall in lust with our cars," said Mike Pevovar, executive design director for Chevy passenger cars. "That initial emotional attraction has to be right on the exterior, and that's where form comes into play." Chevy is also loading up its cars, like the freshly unveiled 2016 Chevy Cruze, with technology to appeal to a younger crowd that prizes connectivity. The Cruze will offer Apple CarPlay and Android Auto with its MyLink infotainment system, and OnStar with 4G LTE and wifi. Seeking out younger buyers is also sound business practice: Millennials now outnumber Baby Boomers as the largest single age group in the United States. Younger buyers also can improve a brand's image, which is another area where Chevy would like to improve. Chevy ranks 82nd on Interbrand's Best Global Brand's list, behind 11 other automakers. Apple is No. 1. "We need our own variation of the Genius Bar," Batey said. 2016 Alfa Romeo Giulia View 3 Photos Meanwhile, Alfa is in different shape.
