I am the original owner of this collector's item. It was purchased new from Lou Grubb Chevrolet
in Scottsdale, Arizona in 1988 and has been in the Phoenix, AZ area ever since. It was not driven very much as denoted by the
low mileage and was garaged from 1988 through 2007. In August of 2008 the then white Monte Carlo SS
with its original red lettering and pin stripes was stolen out of my driver in
Tempe, AZ. It had approximately 062K
miles on the odometer at that time. The
car thieves broke into vehicle and broke the ignition switch on the steering
column. I know this because the chrome
plated pieces of the switch were left in my driveway. In July of 2013 the Phoenix police recovered
the now gray vehicle. Police had it
towed to a storage lot and it was placed in a covered parking space. After a long Phoenix legal court processing system
and two court appearances, I was awarded the Monte Carlo in May of 2014. Through a few visits to the DMV Level 3
inspection stations for re-VINing, a single visit to the emissions station, and
a visit to the General DMV office, the Monte Carlo is now registered and
insured as of August of 2014. History typically means a lot for classic auto values so available with the
sale of the vehicle are the police reports, the recovery report (good reading
material that gives an idea who the thieves might be yet they haven’t been
prosecuted), the CarFax that shows original and current VIN number and the
CarFax showing the bogus VIN number, and the court processing paper work. These items are all public record. Car was in very good shape in 2008, matter of fact it was just serviced a
few days before it was stolen. The shape
of the car today has some miscellaneous interior cosmetic and functional issues. Based on the bogus VIN CarFax record for registration
dates and the facts in the police recovery report the car was driven very
little since the day it left my driveway. Exterior and interior cosmetic issues are shown in the pictures but to
highlight some items the carpet is worn from AZ heat, the cloth header is missing, the
original radio was swapped out for with an after market system, the dash is
badly cracked, and some trim pieces are missing. Functional issues include AC needs a recharge. From the thieves fixing the
compromised ignition the horn doesn’t work, directional switch is stiff,
sometimes the key takes some doing to pull it out of the ignition, and odometer
and speedometer are broken. I threw out original
keys a few years back so there are no keys for T-Tops, driver’s door, or glove
box. Trunk and passenger door lock
assembly were changed out by thieves but unfortunately keys are not common
between the two. VIN number is located
on the driver’s door jam and not in the normal location of lower corner of driver
side windshield. All other original VIN
indications have been removed from vehicle except for the one on the
transmission. Transmission VIN is how
the vehicle was identified by recovering Phoenix police officer. The engine sounds really good and the power of the 1988 Monte Carlo SS is
present. It is a fun car to drive and it
always gets a second look by car enthusiasts.
While stopped at a traffic light or at the gas station you’ll get
positive feedback on this unique and sharp looking vehicle. The Monte Carlo is being sold "AS IS" and once money transaction
takes place the deal is final, no returns. An over-night non-refundable deposit of 10% of sales price is required via
bank to bank transfer at close of auction. For example, similar to Chase Bank
QuickPay process. Balance of funds must be a cash exchange at Chase bank. At the bank a notary will confirm our
identities for the bill of sale and title exchange. All above mentioned paper work materials are yours
if desired. Seller will take AZ plates off of vehicle and if required the
Seller will supply a one-day registration for Buyer. For one-day registration the Buyer must
follow AZ restrictions for temporary one-day registration and Buyer must show
proof of insurance. Buyer
must supply transportation for the vehicle. The vehicle
has been sitting for some time so driving it a long distance without servicing
is not recommended. |

Next-gen GMC Sierra spied with diesel power
Tue, Sep 5 2017The 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.

They were: 2016 Connected Green Car of the Year: Chevy Malibu Hybrid 2016 Luxury Green Car of the Year: Volvo XC90 T8 2016 Green SUV of the Year: Honda HR-V The Volvo was nominated in two categories, but it did not win the Connected Green Car of the Year. Speaking of non-winners, the other green SUV finalists were the BMW X1 XDrive28i, Hyundai Tucson, Mazda CX-3, and Toyota RAV4 Hybrid. The other Luxury Green Car finalists included the BMW x5 xDrive40e, Lexus RX 450h, Porsche Cayenne S E-Hybrid, and the Mercedes-Benz C350e. Finally, the Audi A3 e-tron, BMW 330e, Toyota Prius, and Volvo XC90 T8 were the runners up for Connected Green Car. 2016 Connected Green Car of the Year, Green SUV of the Year, Luxury Green Car of the Year Winners Announced WASHINGTON, Jan. 21, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Green Car Journal has announced the winners of its prestigious 2016 Green Car Awards at a press conference held today during the Washington Auto Show's Public Policy Day in Washington DC. Distinguished as 2016 Luxury Green Car of the Year™ is Volvo's new XC90 T8. The Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid tops the field as 2016 Connected Green Car of the Year™ and Honda's HR-V earns Green Car Journal's 2016 Green SUV of the Year™. "These are stand-out vehicles in an increasingly sophisticated and appealing field of 'green' cars," said Ron Cogan, editor and publisher of Green Car Journal and CarsOfChange.com. "To make the cut as a finalist is a real achievement in itself considering the considerable competition in the market today. Rising to the top as award winners means these three exceptional vehicles set a benchmark in the auto industry's effort to create vehicles that are desirable and efficient, while also achieving environmental milestones so important for our driving future." The Green Car Awards are a key feature of The Washington Auto Show, the "public policy show" on the auto show circuit and one that puts a priority on safety and sustainability. "We are extremely proud of our partnership with Ron Cogan, whose eagerly anticipated suite of awards help shape the national conversation on the innovations that will drive our industry and country forward," said Geoff Pohanka, chairman of The Washington Auto Show.
2016 Green Truck of the Year, Commercial Green Car of the Year finalists
Sat, Oct 24 2015Not only are commercial-grade haulers getting more green love lately, they're getting more different kinds of green love. The 2016 Green Truck of the Year, the second time the award has been handed out, is being decided by judges from Green Car Journal and the San Antonio Auto & Truck Show. This year the award is joined by the new 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year, which crowns one of the little vans increasingly used by small business as cargo and delivery vehicles. The Green Truck of the Year finalists are the Chevrolet Colorado Duramax (pictured), Ford F-150, GMC Canyon Duramax, Nissan Titan XD, and Toyota Tacoma. The first three of those were on last year's list, but since they are completely new or upgraded for 2016 - Ford with its all-aluminum body, the General Motors twins with the new diesel Duramax engine - they qualify for entry again. The Ram 1500 EcoDiesel won last year. The Commercial Green Car finalists are the Chevrolet City Express, Ford Transit Connect, Mercedes-Benz Metris, Nissan NV200, and Ram ProMaster City. You can read more details in the presser below, and the awards will be announced in San Antonio sometime during the show from November 19-22. San Antonio Auto & Truck Show Announces 2016 Green Truck of the Year and Commercial Green Car of the Year Finalists SAN ANTONIO, Oct. 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Green Car Journal and the San Antonio Auto & Truck Show have announced finalists for the 2016 Green Truck of the Year™ and 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year™ awards. The Green Truck of the Year™ nominees are the Chevrolet Colorado Duramax, Ford F-150, GMC Canyon Duramax, Nissan Titan XD, and Toyota Tacoma. Vying for the all-new 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year™ award are the Chevrolet City Express, Ford Transit Connect, Mercedes-Benz Metris, Nissan NV200, and Ram ProMaster City. "Over the past few decades, new car models have benefitted from design and technology improvements that have brought higher fuel efficiency and greater levels of environmental compatibility," said Green Car Journal and CarsOfChange.com Editor and Publisher Ron Cogan. "With models like these ten deserving finalists, we're witnessing the pickup and light commercial vehicle field enjoying the same attention." The new Commercial Green Car of the Year™ award is part of an expanded awards program presented at this year's 2015 San Antonio Auto & Truck Show.
