1987 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Luxuary Sport 47K Original Miles

Up for sale is my SUPER CLEAN 1987 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Luxuary Sport with 47,700+ original miles. She has never seen the snow while I have owned her and is ALWAYS garaged. Below is an honest description of her, both good and bad!

 

Engine and Mechanics

This car has a very good and strong original factory running 4.3L V-6 engine with only 47,700+ original miles. Starts right up even in the cold winter weather and idles steady and even, as well as a smooth shifting transmission. She handles great, with no pulling to either side, on the streets as well as the highway, with no shaking as you pick up speed, even when the cruise control is activated. When starting up, this car has a nice steady hum with no rattling at all.  

I am an old school car lover, especially of the 1970s-1980s era, and believe in treating my classics as my babies. In saying this, I personally always maintenance my cars on a regular basis or send them to my personal mechanic who is a family owned business and has been working on my cars for 15 years. I use a plus grade of gasoline in her and stick with the same brand all the time.

 

Interior

Her interior, in the front and the back, are plush burgundy and all factory original and in very good condition. The sunroof is sealed tight and secure with a tint on the glass. The windows are clean and free from cracks also with a tint. The dash is in good condition with no show of sun damage, but there are two vents that are missing a few teeth. This is an inexpensive and super easy fix. The ashtray and cigarette lighter are both in good working order as well as the storage compartment on the passenger side, which locks. The carpet is clean with show of normal wear as well as the interior door fabric, with a slight show of sun discoloration, but nothing huge. The seats are a plush bench seat with the separation of the drivers and two passenger seating areas, also with a slight show of sun discoloration on the headrest, but again nothing huge. All the lights and switches work inside the car and on the dash as well as the factory radio and tape player. The wheel is in great condition with no missing parts and tilts with ease as well as a strong blowing horn. The heater and air conditioning mecanisims work as well as the cruise control. The interior of the trunk is in great condition with no holes or rust spots, and has a spare tire and jack that look brand new. The only flaws inside the car are the headliner, which is not ripped but drooping. Would just need to be re-glued, and the spring in the sunroof latch keeps popping out when being opened. I believe it to be just a worn spring or just to short of a spring, but the sunroof does open and close and lock. Other then these two flaws she is all original on the inside and in beautiful condition and very comfortable!!!

 

Exterior

The exterior is in flawless condition with all of the chrome, trunk lock, door locks and handles, and emblems in place and in good working order. The weather stripping is thick and in good shape, the doors close solidly. There is absoulutly NO DENTS OR DINGS OR RUST ANYWHERE on this car. The windshield is super clean with good looking and working wipers. The side view mirrors are clean and scratch free. All the lights and lenses and reflectors are intact, in place and very clean with no haze. This car also is equipped with a third brake light that also works. The bumpers are not dented and cracked nor missing parts. The door jams are rust free as well as along the bottom of the doors.  This car on the exterior is all original except for the paint job, rims and muffler. The cars factory color was burgundy, but I had it painted a custom Pearl white that does not flip to a different color other then a brighter white in the sunlight. It has also been painted along the bottom of the car with a scratch resistance compound that keeps the rocks or any other hard objects from denting the bottom of the vehicle.  The paint job was done by my personal mechanic who also owns a paint shop which is also family owned, and yes they are very much professional painters. No amatur job here. All of the door jams, trunk jams and the underside of the trunk, as well as the jams under the hood have all been painted pearl white, so there is no burgundy showing anywhere. The rims are size 15s and came off of my el camino which the rim has also been painted the custom pearl white to match the car, and the tires are brand new. The muffler came equipped with a single pipe which I changed to a custom dual exhaust system. She also comes with an extra gas tank. Like I said before, she is flawless on the outside and a beauty to look at weather clean or dirty. She's just a beastie looking car!!! 

 

Overall

She is a very attractive piece of history, aging at 26 years of age and has treated me extremely well as I have her. She is very reliable and I would not hesitate to drive her long distance if need be. She has always been garaged, since I've had her, year round and has only been driven in the summer months. She comes from a smoke free home and all the maintenance and custom items I've put on her have been done in the 2011-2012 year. As I said, she has NEW... BRAKES, TIRES, PAINT JOB AND EXHAUST SYSTEM, and her flaws are... the droopy headliner, two vents missing some teeth and the sunroof latch with a worn spring, but still opens, closes and locks the sunroof.

As you may see this year and style Monte Carlo around, there are not many that are still somewhat factory original, which have not been modified with hydraulics or huge rims and tires or loud systems. I mean just the european head lights alone are what make her unique. I'm not looking to bank big on her, but I know how rare she is in this original condition and I hope that whoever wins her will see the beauty that she is and feel as thoe the money they spent was well worth it!!!

Please feel free to ask me any questions you may have about my car PRIOR to bidding!!!

Thank you for taking the time to look at her and Happy Bidding!!!

Leaked GM document shows GMC Sierra I6 diesel is more powerful than F-150's

Thu, Oct 4 2018

GM told us earlier this year that the 2019 GMC Sierra would be getting a 3.0-liter I6 diesel option, but it never mentioned power or fuel economy figures. Hold the phone though, because a leaked GM Canada document just showed up online that lists out the details we've been waiting for. Originally published by TFL Truck, the 3.0-liter oil-burner supposedly makes 282 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque. For those who are counting, that's more than the Ford F-150's 250 horsepower and 440 pound-feet from its 3.0-liter diesel. It soundly bests the 240 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque from Ram's 3.0-liter diesel as well. Fuel economy is another story, though. The promotional material states that it will get 28 mpg on the highway, which is 2 mpg short of the F-150's 30 mpg — mind you, it's only capable of that magical 30 mpg figure in rear-wheel drive form. There's another caveat here, too; these are numbers for Canada, so they're not exactly finalized EPA figures. However, we wouldn't expect drastic differences between the two when the American numbers come out. The leaked documents also state the diesel Sierra will be capable of towing 7,800 pounds. That number seems remarkably low when compared to the F-150, which can tow up to 11,400 pounds with its diesel. Extra power and torque would have us assume that GM could get even better numbers than Ford, so we're going to hold our final judgment for official word. A 10-speed automatic will do the shifting on the diesel, just like on the 6.2-liter V8. Since the Chevy Silverado is also expected to get this engine, we can assume the figures would be almost, if not identical, to those we see here. We recently drove the 2019 Sierra and Silverado without the diesel engines, so go check those reviews out if you'd like to know more of our thoughts on the redesigned GM trucks. Related video:

First 2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray spotted crashed in the wild

Tue, 12 Feb 2013

This restyled blue 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is wearing manufacturer plates, and it appears to be the same one seen around the internet in various pictures lately. This crash is likely not part of the Chevrolet testing regimen, however. Digital Corvettes forum member gpetry posted the shot with a note: "got this picture e-mailed from a friend in Arizona last week..." No circumstances are given, other than the incident occurred in the thick of a set of curvy roads, and the coupe ping-ponged off a guardrail and into the rock wall. Hopefully everyone involved in the incident walked away.
It may not be a pretty thing to see, a crashed sports car that's not even available for sale yet, but rest easy. Many pre-production cars are used for development and then unceremoniously crushed and scrapped, anyway. If that's the case here, that makes this wrecked 'Vette less of a tragedy and more of a case of exceptional efficiency.

Stolen '79 Vette finds home at Dream Cruise [w/video]

Mon, Aug 17 2015

After over three decades of waiting, George Talley finally has his 1979 Chevrolet Corvette back, and it's as good as new. The coupe was stolen off of a Detroit street in 1981, but last year Talley received a call that the 'Vette was found in Mississippi. General Motors Executive Vice President Mark Reuss heard the touching story and had the automaker help get the car back to the Motor City. Now after a restoration by the GM Heritage Center and Autometric Body Shop, Talley got the keys to his Corvette back during the Woodward Dream Cruise. When Autoblog spoke to him after the coupe was returned last year, Talley said that the first thing he wanted to do with it was, "I think I'm going to cruise Belle Isle." We hope he enjoys the drive because the experience is a long time coming. You can watch Talley's excited reaction to see his newly refurbished 'Vette for the first time in the video below. Stolen Corvette Reunion and Restoration on Display at Woodward Dream Cruise 2015-08-14 DETROIT – George Talley's 1979 Corvette was stolen 33 years ago and recovered last year in Mississippi. General Motors executives, who heard of the recovery, offered to bring the car back home to Mr. Talley and restore it on his behalf. The GM Heritage Center, in conjunction with Autometric Body Shop in Center Line, Mich., took on the restoration project. Talley got an opportunity to see the progress ahead of its official reveal at the Woodward Dream Cruise on Saturday. Founded in 1911 in Detroit, Chevrolet is now one of the world's largest car brands, doing business in more than 115 countries and selling around 4.8 million cars and trucks a year. Chevrolet provides customers with fuel-efficient vehicles that feature engaging performance, design that makes the heart beat, passive and active safety features and easy-to-use technology, all at a value.
