Chevrolet Monte Carlo

 

Up for auction is a very nice '72 Monte Carlo with its original drivetrain. The odometer reads 22,000 and some change. I believe it has 122,000 do to its age and the fact that it is 42 years old. The car has one newer repaint with very solid original panels throughout. The bottom of the doors and door jams are perfect. All body lines are as good as when it came out of the factory. There aren't any dings, dent, or scratches anywhere on the paint. The floor boards are solid and have never been patched as the same for the frame. All the stainless on the car is in great condition. The bumpers have been replaced with new ones do to some staining and discoloration to the originals. The vinal top was replaced do to fading and shrinking in some areas. The interior is all original except for a new carpet and rear package tray. The front bench seat has one small rip on the pipe seam on the driver's side and a small tear on the shoulder part of the passenger side. The dash has one crack in its usual area toward the center speaker. All the guages are in funtional order except for the famous clock. Yes, the factory tachometer works. Sporting its original drive train, this car has the 402 cubic inch, big block V-8, with Turbo 400 automatic transmission, and a 12 bolt non-posi rear end. A previous owner has replaced the factory exhaust manifolds with a set of ceramic coated headers with complete exhaust to the rear tailpipes. Along with that, some of the A/C components have been removed, but are somewhat available if the new owner wants them with the car. (Not sure what posseses people to remove original equipment and never put it back in its place). The engine has been refreshed with new cam & lifters, seals, berrings, and gaskets. It runs excellent, does not smoke, or leak. Same for the transmission. It has been fully rebuilt with a mild shift kit. Shifts smoothly and promptly. Car has the original Rally Wheels with BF Goodrich radial T/A white letter tires. This is a turn key car that you can drive anywhere and for any length of time with no worries. It has a nice smooth ride on the road and is very responsive in every way. Not to forget to mention a real head turner on the road.

The car will be sold to the winning bidder in as is/where is condition do the fact that it is 42 years old and does not come with a warranty because it is privately owned. A paypal deposit of $500 will be due within 24 hours from the end of the auction, with the balence do within 7 days from the end of the auction. Buyer will be fully responsible to pick up the vehicle, or arrainge for the vehicle to be picked up. I do suggest that if you wish to inspect or send someone to inspect the car before you bid, you may do so. I have described the car to the best of my knowledge and you won't be disappointed. The car looks great in the photos but satisfaction is rendered when you see it in person. I ask that you please respect my 100% feedback. If you do not have the funds or have to get permission to buy this type of vehicle, then please do not bid on my auction. Thank you for understanding and happy bidding!

GM throttles back Chevy Malibu, Buick LaCrosse production over swollen inventories

Wed, 06 Feb 2013

As inventory of the Chevrolet Malibu and Buick LaCrosse continues to pile up, General Motors will be idling its Fairfax Assembly Plant for two weeks, according to Automotive News. This move comes about a month after the plant was shut down for three weeks in late December and early January for the same reason. As of January 31, the GM had a 94-day supply of Malibu stock while the LaCrosse was a little worse with a 117-day supply.
Just last week, GM announced that it would be investing $600 million in upgrading this plant, but it's unclear what future plans the company has in store for Fairfax considering slow sales of both the plant's models. We do expect a refreshed and more luxurious LaCrosse shortly and an early design update for the Malibu to be announced at some point this year, although we have had no official word as to when either will happen.

Corvette Stingray designer lists five goals of new exterior shape

Fri, 12 Apr 2013

Redesigning an icon is a difficult task, especially when you've got a blank sheet of paper in front of you and the all-new C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is intended to be your final objective.
General Motors has released a new short video featuring Kirk Bennion of the Corvette's exterior design team, talking about the challenges of sculpting Chevrolet's new flagship sports car and the five goals the team had to keep in mind as it worked. In the end, Bennion's team had the pleasure of seeing their hard work take center stage as the Corvette captured the world's eyes at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this year.

'Killing a Duramax' Gale Banks YouTube series methodically tunes a diesel to death

Thu, Feb 27 2020

Learning or perfecting a skill by watching YouTube videos is known as attending YouTube University. GM Authority picked up on one of the video site's more fascinating courses, hosted by Gale Banks; in a fair world, he should be referred to as Professor Banks when it comes to diesel engines and truck tuning. A few months after GM introduced the updated L5P 6.6-liter Duramax diesel V8 in the 2020 Chevrolet Silverado HD and GMC Sierra HD that ships with 454 horsepower and 910 pound-feet of torque, Banks decided he wanted to methodically tune the engine to death. The purpose of the resulting series, called "Killing a Duramax," is to push more power out of the engine in order to discover which parts break and when — or, as Banks puts it, force-feed the Duramax "until the crank hits the street and the heads hit the hood." With that knowledge, Banks can figure out all the weak points on his way to building what he calls a "Superturbo," that being a supercharged, twin-turbo race engine with more than 1,000 hp. What makes the series fascinating is Banks' knowledge, paired with the company's comprehensive iDash engine monitoring system that keeps tabs on a glut of parameters every step of the way. So for instance, you get Banks explaining the differences between inches of mercury and barometric pressure, how those are different from the water content of the air measured in grains, then showing those readouts on the iDash, then explaining in detail how they affect the air density in the Duramax system. The stock Borg-Warner variable turbo gets a lot of airtime — Banks accuses it of being "out to lunch" because he feels it's the weakest link on the engine. That turns into a turbo teardown and a deep explanation of performance pitfalls, such as when air pressure on the turbine begins to diverge from the boost pressure coming from the compressor. Banks says he can keep close tabs on where power's coming from, because the iDash monitors the horsepower contribution provided by the ambient air, the turbo, and the intercooler separately. The major changes so far are a stouter Precision 7675 turbo and TurboSmart wastegate (episode 5), a twin intake (episode 6), a custom liquid-cooled intercooler from a marine engine, a new GM oil cooler and synthetic oil (episode 10), and new injectors (episode 11).
