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!

Autotrader picks best cars for 2015's college grads

Sun, May 31 2015

Summer is here and the school season is winding to a close. That means millions of students will be graduating college and (hopefully) entering the workforce. For many, that will mean buying a new car suited to the new stage in life into which they will now be embarking. That can be a bewildering choice, especially for someone who's never bought a car before. Fortunately, Autotrader has come up with a short list of recommended cars – new and used – which it recommends to the graduating class of 2015. Among the site's top choices are some compelling crossovers and hatchbacks, including the Buick Encore, Chevy Trax, and Jeep Renegade, as well as the Honda Fit, Nissan Versa Note, Mazda3 and Fiat 500. Can't stretch to buying new, or don't see the point? Autotrader has also identified the Toyota Camry, Ford Fusion and even the Lexus IS as smart buys in the certified pre-owned category. "Any time someone goes through a major life change, such as graduating college, they need to determine if their current ride makes sense for their lifestyle, from both a financial and functional perspective," says Autotrader editor Brian Moody. "For example, while that hand-me-down SUV from your parents was nice when you turned 16, you may want to opt for a safer, more fuel-efficient car as you transition into the working world." Autotrader Names 10 Best Cars for Recent College Graduates ATLANTA, May 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- For many, graduating college is a milestone like no other – it represents a new chapter, a proud accomplishment and, fortunately or unfortunately, financial independence. Luckily for graduates who are in the market for a new car to suit their post-college lifestyle, Autotrader's expert editors say now is a great time to make a purchase, as dealerships are flush with affordable models that are fun, fuel-efficient and thoughtfully designed.

2016 Chevy Volt sneak peek at CES

Mon, Jan 5 2015

Here it is, folks – your first real glimpse at the 2016 Chevrolet Volt. The gasoline-electric sedan will officially debut at the Detroit Auto Show next week, but Chevy gave us a sneak peek of its redesigned Volt at a media event in Las Vegas late Sunday, as part of its CES festivities. There isn't a ton to see here, and sorry about the low quality video (and for us not standing front and center during the reveal). But we can clearly see the car's redesigned front fascia – something recently previewed at a fan event in Los Angeles. For another view, check out a high-res photo of the new Volt from our friends at The Verge, here. Chevy even tweeted a photo of the Volt's new nose on its official Volt Twitter account, which you can see below. The automaker didn't divulge any details about its new Volt, but we already know quite a bit. For starters, the Volt will use a new, 1.5-liter gasoline engine and won't require premium fuel. It'll have more EV range and a bigger battery, too. We'll have a whole mess of information when the 2016 Volt is fully revealed in Detroit in about one week's time. In the meantime, here are some more looks at the Volt, courtesy of the Twitterverse. We're so excited about #NextGenVolt we brought it out early at #CES2015!

Next-gen GMC Sierra spied with diesel power

Tue, Sep 5 2017

The 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.
