71 Monte Carlo 454 Ss Clone Partially Restored Chevrolet A/c 400 Automatic on 2040-cars
Keedysville, Maryland, United States
This is my partially restored 71 Monte carlo, it has a frsh flat top 454 totally rebuilt last spring it has a 500-300 hydraulic cam and steel heads, aluminum valve covers new holly 750 dual feed carb. It has a brand new aftermarket heat and AC unit, I haven't had it charged yet but its ready to go. There's a new aluminum radiator and B&M transmission cooler with stainless lines. The transmission is a rebuilt turbo 400 with a 3200 stahl. It has a high torque starter and all new motor and transmission mounts. I replaced the u-joints in the drive shaft and I rebuilt the rear end new bearings with Yukon 390 gears and Posi unit. There are new Nito drag radials on the rear, with regular radials it wouldn't hook up but now it launches. I put a Holly fuel pump in it with a new line to the engine. It has electric cooling fans on a seperate control relay with temp sensor plus it has a light weight race fan on the water pump. I just had it in the garage and i replaced the front springs and after market tubular control arms with all ball joints and bushings. I painted the calipers and spindle's while it was apart and I replaced the shocks. When I got the car it hasd a bench seat and I replaced it with two cheap bucket seats that recline and I installed a dakota ($800) digital dash cluster which looks real good and i added supplemental gauges under the dash for 2nd reference's. It has a new stereo in with amp and subs but i was taking that out unless you wanted it. There is a blue led light kit under the car as well which looks real cool at night.There's more but it will take to long to list it all.
This car starts right up and runs and sounds great, I never took it to the track so I dont know what it runs but its fast. I have too much going on with life work and other projects so this one needs to go, I hate to sell it but I just don't have money or time to complete it. this cars is mechanically sound all that it needs is paint and some interior upgrades, the interior is good but I would put better seats in it and redo the rear dash the previous owner cut it out to put 4 6x9 speakers in it. The paint is ok now but it has some bubbles and chips here and there plus the soft top had a low spot in it but I was going to take it off and just roll with the hard top look.I didnt complete the flex duct work in the dash for the new ac system, the dash pad comes off easy and the stuff is easy to get to. The previous owner also put a few screws in the trim where the clips broke but they sell trim kits on ebay for $400.00. I have close to 20k in this car and I know that I wont get that for it and my reserve is well below it, please email with any questions comments and concerns and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. The car is in Keedysville MD and depending on how far away you are I can arrange shipping at your expense but I prefer to do the deal in person so you see what your getting. |

GM sweetens military discount for Buick, Chevy and GMC
Sun, 06 Oct 2013American servicemen and women interested in a new vehicle from Chevrolet, Buick or GMC now have a bit more incentive to head down to their local dealer, as General Motors has announced plans to improve its military discount program.
The new GM Military Discount Program offers eligible consumers a new Chevy, Buick or GMC at invoice pricing, which in some cases can take very large chunks out of a car's retail price. When factored in with other incentives, most of which are available with the Military Discount, the bargains are thick on the ground for members of the US armed forces.
GM's Retail Sales and Marketing Support general manager, Chuck Thomson, said, "GM has long supported the military and military families, and we hope this simplified and enhanced discount will show our appreciation for their service and help make it easier for them to own one of our great new vehicles." The program is open to all active duty and reserve members in the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, National Guard and Coast Guard, as well as veterans that have been out of the service for less than a year. Military retirees and their spouses are also eligible for the discount.
GM looks to combat high theft rates on SUVs with added tech
Tue, 24 Dec 2013The Cadillac Escalade has been at or near the top of most-stolen and insurance-loss lists for more than seven years, until it dropped to number six earlier this year. In 2011 it was fitted with a host of new security features to address its easy-to-override features and that has brought the number of thefts down, but when eight of the ten most stolen rides are large SUVs from General Motors, no one will argue that something else needs to be done.
Thus, GM has fitted this same theft-deterring tech to the 2015 Suburban, Tahoe and Yukon. The Suburban and Tahoe will get the steering lock that the Escalade and Yukon already get, plus bolted-down third-row seats to deter thefts like this, stronger door lock cylinders and shields, and side-cut keys to inhibit picking.
Additional security measures in a Theft Protection Package can be purchased for $395, consisting of sensors on the greenhouse glass and interior, an incline/tilt sensor and added "key control systems" to make it more difficult for the men in black balaclavas to steal what you bought.
GM, UAW poaching Nissan workers in Tennessee
Tue, Sep 8 2015General Motors and the United Auto Workers are going on a recruitment drive at the Spring Hill factory in Tennessee, and they're hoping to poach some skilled workers from Nissan's nearby plant in Smyrna, TN. The General and the union even bought a billboard advertising for industrial electricians near the Japanese automaker's facility, according to the Daily News Journal. The reason for the billboard was simple. "GM was short of electricians," said Tim Stannard, the president of the UAW local at Spring Hill, to the Daily News Journal. The factory currently builds the Chevrolet Equinox but has a contract to assemble the next generation of Ecotec engines and the Cadillac XT5, which replaces the SRX. Thanks to the $185-million deal, employment there is expected to double by May 2016, according to Stannard, with roughly 1,800 additional union jobs. Beyond just several billboards, GM has job postings online for the Spring Hill plant looking for workers with specific skills. There has already been some interest in the positions among Nissan employees, Stannard indicated. According to a recent study by the Center for Automotive Research, the average GM worker currently makes $58 an hour, including benefits. Comparatively, Nissan pays an average of $42 an hour with benefits. The General's number could change in the coming weeks because its contract with the UAW is about to expire, and higher wages are among the major negotiating points.
