Up for sale is my restored, National show winning 1970 Monte Carlo by Chevrolet. This particular Monte Carlo was built in the Flint, Michigan plant. Having said that, there are no build sheets since that plant had strict rules when it came to placing build sheets in vehicles. I found this out from the vice president of the First Generation Monte Carlo Club. Something else that makes this car unique, is the fact 1970 was the first year for the Monte Carlo. You will be hard pressed to find a first generation Monte Carlo in this condition. I am open to certain trades **No Motorcycles**, and my price is negotiable. This Monte Carlo is a factory A/C car but is not hooked up since it was not built to be a daily driven car. Along with the car comes the owners manual in A-1 shape, the 1970 Chevy Manufacturer's Specs in a 3 ring binder, the original 1970 Monte Carlo dealer sales brochure, and a bunch of Hot Wheels 1970 Monte Carlos that are still in the packaging and are painted just like mine. Don't miss out on an opportunity to own a true 70s muscle car, ready for the car cruise season. I have all the reciepts for the work I had done since I have owned it. This car can be driven anywhere, as I took it to Carlisle June 22-24th and put 500 miles on it in one weekend, with zero problems. I have noticed that it may need a new oil pan gasket since the one on it is cork and has started to leak a little. I didn't put the cork one on, and since I don't have access to a lift yet I haven't changed it out. I never trailer this car but when I take it on long trips I do cover the front with blue painter's tape to prevent stone chips as much as possible. (Blue painter's tape doesn't leave a sticky residue) I currently have a PA Antique plate on the car which can go with it. The last few pictures of the car are from 1990 when it was purchased from the original owner and 1999 when it was painted a second time with the racing stripes. I also have a ton more pictures of the restoration. If you want to see them please contact me and I will email them over. This Monte Carlo was originally white. If you have any questions I can be reached at 4-1-2-two-six-six-0-5-6-2. I do work full-time during the week so if I don't answer, leave a message and I will get back to you. The car is being sold as-is and has been described in greatest of detail to my knowledge above. I welcome anyone to come see the car or have a representative inspect it for you. Please remember you are bidding to buy and I FULLY expect the winning bidder to fulfill their eBay contract. You are not bidding to hold, inspect, or then come test drive the vehicle, but you may do this before the auction closes. I require a $2000 NON REFUNDABLE deposit within 48 hours of the auction close, PayPal preferred. Buyer is responsible for shipping.

Impala SS vs. Marauder: Recalling Detroit’s muscle sedans
Thu, Apr 30 2020Impala SS vs. Marauder — it was comparo that only really happened in theory. ChevyÂ’s muscle sedan ran from 1994-96, while MercuryÂ’s answer arrived in 2003 and only lasted until 2004. TheyÂ’re linked inextricably, as there were few options for powerful American sedans during that milquetoast period for enthusiasts. The debate was reignited recently among Autoblog editors when a pristine 1996 Chevy Impala SS with just 2,173 miles on the odometer hit the market on Bring a Trailer. Most of the staff favored the Impala for its sinister looks and said that it lived up to its billing as a legit muscle car. Nearly two-thirds of you agree. We ran an unscientific Twitter poll that generated 851 votes, 63.9 percent of which backed the Impala. Muscle sedans, take your pick: — Greg Migliore (@GregMigliore) April 14, 2020 Then and now enthusiasts felt the Impala was a more complete execution with guts. The Marauder, despite coming along later, felt more hacked together, according to prevailing sentiments. Why? On purpose and on paper theyÂ’re similar. The ImpalaÂ’s 5.7-liter LT1 V8 making 260 horsepower and 330 pound-feet of torque was impressive for a two-ton sedan in the mid-Â’90s. The Marauder was actually more powerful — its 4.6-liter V8 was rated at 302 hp and 318 lb-ft. The ImpalaÂ’s engine was also used in the C4 Corvette. The MarauderÂ’s mill was shared with the Mustang Mach 1. You can see why they resonated so deeply with Boomers longing for a bygone era and also captured the attention of coming-of-age Gen Xers. Car and DriverÂ’s staff gave the Marauder a lukewarm review back in ‘03, citing its solid handling and features, yet knocking the sedan for being slow off the line. In a Hemmings article appropriately called “Autopsy” from 2004, the ImpalaÂ’s stronger low-end torque and smooth shifting transmission earned praise, separating it from the more sluggish Mercury. All of this was captured in the carsÂ’ acceleration times, highlighting metrically the differences in their character. The Impala hit 60 miles per hour in 6.5 seconds, while the Marauder was a half-second slower, according to C/D testing. Other sites have them closer together, which reinforces the premise it really was the little things that separated these muscle cars. Both made the most of their genetics, riding on ancient platforms (FordÂ’s Panther and General MotorsÂ’ B-body) that preceded these cars by decades. Both had iconic names.
Pics Aplenty: Meet the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra [w/poll]
Thu, 13 Dec 2012Today was a pretty big day for General Motors, debuting the all-new Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra light-duty pickup trucks ahead of their official showcase at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show. And now that the dust has settled at GM's big reveal event, we've had a chance to snap dozens of photos of the new pickup pair from every angle.
We already told you the important bits earlier today (click here in case you missed it), but let's recap. Under the hood are three new engines - a 4.3-liter V6, 5.3-liter V8 and 6.2-liter V8 (you know, a version of the small-block that'll also be found under the hood of the C7 Corvette), all mated to six-speed automatic transmissions. The 2014 model year marks the return of the Z71 off-road package with Rancho shocks, front tow hooks and beefier underbody protection. Inside, there's a host of new technology and a greater focus on better quality and refinement.
Some of the nitty-gritty specifics (like engine output numbers and fuel economy) have yet to be revealed, and since we haven't driven the finished products yet, it's hard to say how these trucks will fare against rivals like the Ram 1500 and Ford F-150. For now, we can only judge these two books by their covers, and while we do like the designs of the new trucks, we Autoblog staffers are torn on exactly which one looks best.
