You are bidding on an original 1972 factory 402 big-block Monte Carlo.  This survivor still retains its original serial number-matching 402 engine... I personally verified that the partial VIN stamped into the engine block ID pad matches the VIN of the car..  This car is going to make someone very proud and happy... it's a very cool car.  


The car is in sound running and driving condition.  It runs well and strong, steers well, and brakes well.  In the past 5000 miles, the front suspension has been rebuilt, the tires replaced, the brakes done, front end aligned, new shock absorbers, new exhaust system, and new alternator.  The car shows just over 70K miles on the odometer.  It runs smoothly and does not smoke at all.  The transmission shifts exactly as it should.  It has its original 12-bolt rear end still in place as well... all the drivetrain is original.

Factory Rally Wheels in good condition.  The car is very dry with virtually no rust; very, very minor hints in the lower quarter on one side, and minor surface rust in the expected places.  The body is overall fairly straight.  There is a rub on the driver's rear quarter above the wheel lip, the passenger door has a dent, and there's a minor crease/dent in the passenger rear quarter.  The previous owner removed the lower section of vinyl between the rear window and trunk to look for rust; there isn't any.  Trunk is dry as well.  Windows all roll up and down, glass in very good condition all around.  Dash is uncut and original, with an aftermarket stereo in an under dash housing.  Dash pad looks nice. Factory A/C car with everything there, but not currently operational; will need to be recharged, etc.  Interior has mismatched seat upholstery, missing door panels, and needs carpet/headliner as well.

The original color was Cortez Silver Metallic.  It now wears an older repaint in a very pretty Cinnamon Red metallic; very pretty.  Paint is still shiny, and the car still looks good despite the small issues.

I will include a straight and complete passenger door, rear deck lid, and miscellaneous trim, extra parts, etc. with buy-it-now purchase.  They may also be purchased seperately.

Being a numbers-matching big-block first-generation Monte Carlo that's also virtually rust free, this car is a perfect candidate for a full restoration.  As pretty as the current paint is, Cortez Silver is probably my favorite finish on these early Monte's.  Also, the ORIGINAL build sheet for the car was present and is included along with an original owner's manual.

You may call me at 360-936-9257 with any questions.  While every effort has been made to describe the vehicle accurately, it is a 41-year-old classic vehicle and being sold as-is, with no warranties expressed or implied.  Shipping is the full responsibility of the buyer.  I will make myself and the vehicle available for pickup and loading of the vehicle.  Please be prepared to remit payment in full within 3 days of auction end via cash, bank wire transfer, or certified major bank cashier's check *(must wait a reasonable amount of time to verify clearance/authenticity).

Chevy Gives World Series MVP Madison Bumgarner A Recalled Truck

Thu, Oct 30 2014

Last night must have seemed like a dream come true for San Francisco Giants pitcher Madison Bumgarner. He helped his team win its third World Series Championship in four years, earned MVP status and was given a brand new 2015 Chevrolet Colorado. Bumgarner might want to hold off on taking a victory lap in his new truck however. The Colorado is currently under recall. General Motors issued a stop-delivery order earlier this month to fix the truck's air bag connectors, which were wired improperly during the manufacturing process. The faulty wiring can cause the system to deploy incorrectly. Only 138 customers have received their Chevrolet trucks, the rest were caught and repaired either in the plant or on their way to dealerships and show rooms. Recalls Chevrolet world series

For now, enjoy the way it moves its hips in the video above. News Source: Chevrolet via YouTube, Facebook Detroit Auto Show Chevrolet Videos

Bob Lutz says Tesla remains 'fringe' brand

Sun, Sep 28 2014

We've said it before, we'll said it again: Bob Lutz gives great quotes. From his toilet-themed opinion of global warming to Toyota's deity status, the man knows how to get your attention. His latest? Saying that Tesla Motors is and will remain a fringe brand. Take that, Tesla fanbois. This, of course, is the same fringe company that prompted Lutz and his former colleagues at General Motors to start working on the Chevy Volt around eight years ago. The same fringe company that has easily outsold the similarly priced (but don't call it a competitor) Cadillac ELR with its Model S. Lutz did clarify that the fringe status will only last until Tesla comes out with a mass-market electric vehicle that has a range of 200 to 300 miles. Lutz was on CNBC talking about the TSLA stock's recent performance, and he pointed out that even Tesla CEO Elon Musk says that the California automaker's stock is overvalued these days. Despite its prevalence around these parts, Tesla is not yet a household brand. But the company is working hard to get a cheaper, long-range EV to market in the not-too-distant future, so this fringe thing may not last much longer than that show Fringe did.
