United States
|
1972 Chevy Monte Carlo Running and driving 1972 Monte Carlo. Has a built 5.7 Liter sbc 350 cid. Competition race cam, headers, edelbrock intake, 4 bbl carter carburetor, HEI Borg Warner distributor. New Radiator, water pump, fuel pump, fan belt, spark plugs/wires, torque convertor, and drive shaft. I feel like I’m forgetting a few things. Anyway, just changed oil, transmission oil, set advanced timing, and put in an under dash kill switch. Just had transmission rebuilt and shifts smooth and right on time. Also, installed new kickdown cable. Duel glass pack exhaust, sounds like a beast…if you don’t like your neighbors start when they’re sleeping. Factory options/features, A/C blows, Power Brakes (brakes are good, no problems stopping)front disc brakes, power steering (steers easy and straight, no alignment problems). All gauges work, (Fuel, temp, generator/alternator, brake). Clock doesn’t work. But, it does have a Sony X-Plod CD/WMA/MP3 player w/ remote that does have a clock. Accompanied by two 3-way Pioneer 6x9 speakers. Rally Wheels w/trim rings on all four, hankook white wall tires all the way around with around 90% tread life on them, and a full rally wheel spare in the trunk. Also has a shift kit installed. Also put in dual truck air horns, once again if you don’t like your neighbors sound the horn. The interior is in amazing shape all seats are in excellent condition, door panels are in excellent condition, head liner is perfect, floor boards are solid and carpet is in excellent condition. There is a crack on the dash driver side (pictured), and a small tear just under passenger side rear quarter glass (pictured). That is all. All glass is good no cracks, all windows work. The body is straight but there are just a few dings here and there absolutely nothing major at all, a little surface rust under rear windshield. If you know these cars you know most of them have had this at one point or another. Because of the design of car (pictured). It is where water and moisture collect because of shape of rear windshield, this is a California car, no snow, no salted roads, no rust anywhere else. Trunk floor is solid. Rockers solid. Quarters and fenders solid. It has a 20 foot paint job, meaning it looksgood from 20 feet. There are some chips here and there, but it still shows very well. This is a very clean and very cool1st generation Monte Carlo. It runs and drives and stops without a problem, it has never been chopped, cut , or lowered. There has been a lot of time money and effort put into this beauty, but it is still honest to coming off the line in 1972. It just needs someone to take it the last 5-10%. I also have it listed locally and may end auction early if sold. Clear title, up-to-date registration. Drive this car home if want. Please don’t make an offer if you aren’t really going to buy it, do your research on shipping costs to your location from Los Angeles, California. Happy bidding! |

800k car names trademarked globally, suddenly alphanumerics seem reasonable
Tue, 01 Oct 2013What's in a name? This cliched phrase probably gets tossed out at every marketing meeting that happens when a new car gets its nomenclature. We know the answer, though: everything. The name of a car has all the potential to make or break it with fickle customers that are more conscious than ever about what their purchases say about them.
That's giving headaches to marketing folks across the automotive industry. "It's tough. In 1985 there were about 75,000 names trademarked in the automotive space. Today there are 800,000," Chevrolet's head of marketing, Russ Clark, told Automotive News. Infiniti's president, Johan de Nysschen, echoed Clark's sentiment, saying, "The truth of the matter is, across the world, there is hardly a name or a letter that hasn't already been claimed by one car manufacturer or another. You can go through the alphabet - A, B, C and so forth - and you will quickly see that almost all available letters are taken."
What has that left automakers to do? Get creative. In the case of Infiniti, it made the controversial move to bring all of its cars' names into a new scheme, classifying them as Q#0 for cars and QX#0 for SUVs and crossovers. So the Infiniti G, which was available as the G25 and G37, is now the Q50. The FX37 and FX50 are now the QX70.
Corvette Z06 and Viper TA square off at the strip
Wed, Jan 21 2015There are many long-standing grudge matches among automobiles: 911 vs GT-R, Mustang vs Camaro, Ferrari vs Lamborghini... but as far as high-end American metal goes, it doesn't get much more legendary than Viper vs 'Vette. So after Chevy released the new Corvette Z06, we knew it was only a matter of time before it would have to square off against the Viper TA. And what better place to pit these two parallel pillars of American performance than on the drag strip? Fortunately that's just what we have here. In one corner, the 2014 Dodge Viper TA, with its 8.4-liter V10 pumping out 640 horsepower and 600 pound-feet of torque. In the other, the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06, the supercharger on its 6.2-liter V8 more than making up for the discrepancy in displacement and cylinder count to produce 650 hp and just as much torque. But numbers don't tell the whole story, so watch the video clip to see which reaches the end of the quarter-mile first.

UAW to vote on strike at Kentucky Corvette plant
Tue, 08 Apr 2014The current wait time for a new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is well, not short. With word of a strike at the Bowling Green, KY factory responsible for seventh-generation sports car, though, that wait time could end up growing substantially.
Now, a strike is still a ways off. UAW Local 2164, which represents the 800 workers responsible for screwing the Corvette together, is set to vote on authorizing a strike today, but even if the employees give the action a go, it's far from a sure thing. According to The Tennessean, both regional and national union officials would need to put their stamp of approval on strike action.
"The membership has to vote to strike, but it's just a step in the process," said Gary Casteel, the UAW's Region 8 director and one of the people that would need to authorize a strike action. Casteel told The Tennessean, "It's purely a local situation, though. They are having some issues with the local management."
