OK, up for sale is my 1986 Monte Carlo. Originally purchased this last year as a project for my son and I, but alas, money and time got in the way.
Bad news first:

The original carburetor (Rochester Quadrajet) was replaced by the original seller to an Edelbrock Performer. Edelbrock works fine but since it is not connected to the ECM, the timing keeps advancing and it is nearly impossible to get her running smoothly.
Landau top needs to either be deleted or repaired
The interior of the car needs help (interior door panel on passenger side is detached, have most parts for it. Dash pad is cracked. Gauges work fine. Seats are solid but dirty)
Exterior of the car - paint is there but most likely it was a cheap Maaco paint job as some parts are visible and the original cream color of the car can be seen in the jambs and stuff.
Body - panels are solid, front end needs to be shimmed and aligned properly. Bondo on Passenger door by mirror and bondo on left fender. Couple of small rust spots that can be ground out and filled (nothing through the panels)
Exhaust - leak in the exhaust, needs replacement.

Good news time:

Windshield is brand new, replaced by Safelite last summer
She starts up well and idles well but then once she reaches temp, starts to run too rich.
Tires are good
No rust in the trunk
Overall good condition, just needs someone who knows what they are doing to have this car - NOT me. :-)

I am including a bunch of body parts:

Two front fenders from an SS (I think it was an 86 or 87)
Two doors (rusted bottoms but complete interiors) from same donor SS
Hood
Trunk
Front clip and lights assembly from the SS

Additionally, I am also including the following parts:

Rebuilt Rochester Quadrajet E4ME (From Mountain Man carbs - HIGHLY rated) (300 bucks)
Replacement headliner and visors from Mike's Montes and replacement radiator overflow tank (300 bucks)
MSD Pro-Billet RTR Distributor for Small Block Chevy (from Summit, $289)
MSD Coil Blaster for RTR Distributor ($50)
Street Fire spark plug wires (Summit, $40)
LH and RH Exhaust manifolds (Summit, $225)
Set of Autolite Xtreme Performance plugs (Summit, $60)
Additional parts and pieces from the donor car (some interior parts, Chrome dressup kit, hood hinge, wiring harness for lights, etc.)

If you can do body work and minor mechanical stuff, you can have a sweet ride in no time. I don't do any body work so I'd lose a ton of money paying someone to do it.

Heck, you could part this out to the Monte Carlo community and make twice my asking price back - I just need to get it out of here and don't have the time to take this project to completion. By my estimate, it's pretty darn close and is still unmolested enough that you could make a really sweet ride out of it. She drives, shifts, brakes, and steers fine. Just wouldn't recommend taking her long distance until the timing issue is worked out and the exhaust leak is fixed.

Parts and car alone totalled me over 4000... you have 1300 bucks in unused parts also included that you could either use or resell. She's got great potential, I just don't have the time. Son needs a reliable car NOW and really doesn't have the interest in this project that I hoped he would.

NOW - for the legalistic stuff:

If you commit to buy, it is committing to buy - NOT committing to come over and inspect and kick the tires. I have described everything to my best ability and am always available via email or eBay messages to answer any questions, take additional pictures, etc.
If you purchase, I need 500 down and the remainder within one week. Car needs to be picked up within one week of the close of sale. I will not arrange shipping, I do not have a trailer. I *will* however, help load it up.
Car is sold as is, where is, no warranties expressed or implied; no returns.

Next-gen GMC Sierra spied with diesel power

Tue, Sep 5 2017

The next generation of GM trucks is arriving soon, and we're expecting a huge leap forward over the current lineup. The Chevy Silverado and the GMC SIerra sell extremely well, but haven't done much to move the segment forward in a long time. The Ford F-150 has an all-aluminum body and turbocharged V6 power. The Ram 1500 gained a diesel and coil spring suspension. These spy shots show that diesel may be in the cards for GM. Some quick shots and copious use of flash show what is most likely a tank for diesel exhaust fluid and a diesel particulate filter, both necessary equipment for any modern diesel. It's unclear what form factor that engine will come in, though GM has a number of engines to choose from, including the 2.8-liter inline four that's found in the Colorado and Canyon, though that may be a little light duty for the Silverado and Sierra. Other rumors surrounding the trucks suggest a move to an aluminum cab while retaining a steel bed. That seems like a reasonable move for GM, even if the company was attempting to shame Ford for its move to aluminum a few years ago. Look for more news as early as the Detroit Auto Show in January.

Suzuki recalls 2 million cars globally

Wed, Apr 22 2015

Suzuki is recalling two million vehicles across the globe, including a number of Chevrolet Cruze sedans that it builds for General Motors, because the ignition switches may begin to smoke. None of the Cruzes being recalled were sold in the US, though. This recall is limited to the Japanese, European and Australian markets. In Suzuki's home market, 1,873,000 vehicles are being recalled, including the Cruze and a number kei cars built for Mazda (the Carol and AZ-Wagon), as well as the automaker's own Alto, Wagon R and Swift. Affected vehicles were built between 1998 and 2009. The remaining 133,000 vehicles include Cruzes and other Suzuki products sold in Europe and Australia. There have been no reports of injuries or accidents due to the 67 reported incidents, all of which come from the Japanese market, a Suzuki spokesperson told Automotive News. Related Video:
