I bought this car as a project for my son and I to work on. The list of problems grew and he just wanted a driver, so I will be looking to sell. For those looking to make a 3rd generation Monte Carlo SS the way they want it, I have for sale a nice original Monte Carlo SS that needs an engine. The car does run, but engine is bad, knocking badly, starts, idles and runs like it did new, original 305 carburated . Was stored in the Illinois area for two years before I purchased it. It had issues, but I took it to a shop and had dents fixed and a few other spots fixed and had the car painted the original White for this model, and put the SS stripe kit on. This car has the original everything on it, the T-Tops are Creative Custom's. I had to replace the windshield, radiator, water pump, a couple of belts, new wires and plugs, and the reason motor was bad where it had sat, the oil return holes in the heads plugged up and the engine starved for oil, result, bad engine now. This is a White with Maroon interior car, console bucket seats. All options on car including under hood light and trunk opener and light. The radio has been replace with an after market Pioneer, that plays. The transmission shifts great as it should and I believe it to have been recently overhauled. I bought this car as a project for my son, but it just keeps having issues I can't fix anymore, getting older, and no place and equipment to do the work. I worked in auto dealers and garages for awhile. These car always needed a 350 engine or larger in it to make it the Muscle car Chevrolet should have built, now is the opportunity and chance to make it one. If you have an engine, I have the car. I am only trying to recoup part of my expenses on this knowing I'll never get what I've put in it. Please don't bid unless you are serious, and like I said, it needs an engine so you will have to make arrangement to pick it up when funds are paid in full. I have the clear title in hand, no, I can sell this myself thank you, and if I don't, I'll get around to making it into my ride. I live in Ravenswood WV 26164, so you can figure the distance to travel. I also reserve the right to remove listing if sold locally. Last of the great Monte Carlos that were considered muscle cars.

GM recalls 3.6 million vehicles for airbag-software problems
Fri, Sep 9 2016The Basics: General Motors is recalling 3.64 million vehicles across its lineup for an airbag-related issue. The recall covers the 2014-2015 Buick LaCrosse, Chevrolet SS, and Spark EV; 2014-2017 Chevrolet Corvette, Trax, Caprice PPV, Silverado 1500, Buick Encore, and GMC Sierra 1500; and 2015-2017 Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban, Silverado HD, GMC Yukon, Yukon XL, Sierra HD, Cadillac Escalade, and Escalade ESV. The Problem: Affected vehicles have a sensing and diagnostic module that controls the airbags and seat-belt pretensioners. The software it uses has a defect that can prompt the module to run a diagnostic test under specific driving conditions, which will also deactivate the front airbags and pretensioners. This means that it would be possible for those safety systems to not activate in a crash, potentially leading to injury or death. Injuries/Deaths: General Motors began an investigation that led to the recall after a 2014 Silverado was involved in a crash in which the airbags did not deploy. No information was given as to injuries or deaths. The Fix: Owners can bring their vehicles to a local General Motors dealer where a software update will be installed to fix the issue. The fix will be free of charge. If you own one: General Motors will contact owners of affected cars, and owners can check whether their vehicles are affected by visiting entering their vehicle identification numbers at either the GM Owner Center website or the NHTSA website. Owners can then schedule a time to have the update installed. Related Video:
Should heavy-duty pickup trucks have window stickers with fuel mileage estimates?
Sat, Sep 23 2017If you were to stroll into your nearest Chevrolet, Ford, GMC, Nissan, or Ram dealership, you'd find a bunch of pickup trucks. Most of those would have proper window stickers labeled with things like base prices, options prices, location of manufacture, and, crucially, fuel economy estimates. But you'd also run across a number of heavy-duty trucks with no such fuel mileage data from the Environmental Protection Agency. The EPA doesn't require automakers to publish the valuable miles-per-gallon measurement for vehicles with gross weight ratings that exceed 8,500 pounds. That makes it difficult for consumers to compare behemoths powered by turbocharged diesel engines – between one another, and between smaller, gasoline-fueled trucks. Consumer Reports doesn't think it should be this way, and it's spearheading an effort (PDF link) to get the government to require manufacturers to publish fuel economy estimates. In its own testing, CR found that heavy-duty pickups powered by Ford's Power Stroke, GM's Duramax, and FCA's Cummins diesel engines (which doesn't include the Ram's EcoDiesel) get worse fuel mileage than their lighter-duty gas-powered siblings. We're not so sure HD-truck buyers are unaware of this fact – big diesels don't really come into their own until big loads are placed in their beds or attached to their trailer hitches. Under heavy workloads, the diesel trucks will almost certainly return greater efficiency than a similar gas-powered truck. What's more, HD trucks with lumbering diesels in general make the driver feel more confident while towing due to greater torque at low engine RPM than gas trucks. They also offer greater max-weight limits. Still, we agree EPA fuel mileage estimates should be offered for heavy-duty pickups. And we think the comparisons provided by Consumer Reports might be interesting to potential buyers. Click here to see the results of CR's tests, and let us know what you think using the poll below.

Chevy gets cracking on Cruze EV fleet testing
Tue, 21 Sep 2010Chevrolet Cruze EV - Click above for high-res image gallery
The Chevrolet Volt hasn't yet gone on sale, but General Motors is looking at ways of expanding its electric vehicle lineup. Chevy, along with partner LG, is employing a group of all-electric cars in the form of the Cruze. The sedans are part of a demonstration fleet which is located in Seoul, South Korea and is being used to provide data in an electric vehicle research project. The goal is to gather information on driving patterns and charging behavior in addition to consumer acceptance.
The Cruze EVs, along with some Daewoo Lacetti Premieres EVs, are the first fleet of full-size electric vehicles and should provide invaluable information for The General. Staying full-size means not sacrificing cargo space, so the battery pack is mounted to the underbody, leaving the trunk area open for plenty recyclable, canvas grocery bags.
