This car was built in California and sold new in Hawaii. I bought it from the original owner in Hawaii (I was stationed there) and shipped it to Georgia. The car was rust proofed as a dealer option in Hawaii before sold and the original owner kept it garaged and only drove it on weekends. He had put 17,850 miles in it when I bought it. It now has 22,300 miles. I have kept it garaged since I bought it also. Even though this is an original non-restored matching numbers vehicle I have done the following repairs/maintenance/updates;

- A/C was converted to R134A in MAY13 (Compressor new also in MAY13)

- All around new shocks in MAY13

- New front calipers brake pads and brake fluid flush in JUN13

- New Edelbrock intake manifold and new Rochester 4BBL carburetor in JUL13.

- New heater core and hoses in JAN14

- New front end bushings and dampener JAN14

 

Things that are on my “to do” list (…maybe your to do list now ;)

*The windshield washer pump is not working. You can hear the motor engage but no water comes out. All the lines/tubing is there.

*The passenger side electric door lock is not working.

*There are a few scratches on the paint job. I covered them with paint touch up in order for them not to rust.

* There is a small 1/2 ” “stress” tear on the front bench seat upholstery around the power seat controls.

* It has a small oil leak from the engine rear main seal. It’s a 40 year old seal!

 

What else???? Let’s see... The tires have about 90% thread left. The spare matches the set and is never been used. (No, the tires are not 40 years old! Lol) The rims are the original steel 15 x 7 x 5.75 with the wire wheel, “Chevrolet Motor Division” original hub caps. The 8-track player works! As well as the AM/FM radio, all lights, turn signals, power windows and power seat. The interior is like new! From headliner to floors! Again, not restored or replaced but original. Never has been smoked in. It has the original matching numbers 350 CID V8 and Turbo 350 tranny. You probably will not find another 1974 Monte Carlo in such a good original condition and with such a desirable original color combination. (Most out there have red, blue, green or cream interiors!)

If you have any questions or want to see any specific pictures, please shoot me and email. The car is in Ft. Gordon, GA and I have the GA title in my name on hand. It will be your responsibility to pick it up or make arrangements to ship it.

Thank you for checking out the Monte. Good luck!

1983 Motorweek showdown pits Porsche 928S vs. Chevy Camaro Z28

Mon, Jan 12 2015

Last month, Motor Trend threw the Camaro Z/28 and Porsche 911 GT3 into the bear pit and let them fight it out. Way back in 1983, MotorWeek had the same idea, comparing the Camaro Z/28 to the Porsche 928S. At the time, the Camaro was America's best selling sports coupe, the 928S was Porsche's top-of-the-line model that also had the highest top speed of any car sold here. And the price differential was even more stark then: $13,600 for the Camaro, $45,000 for the Porsche. That put the Z/28's cast-iron, 5.0-liter V8 with 190 horsepower and 240 pound-feet of torque against the all-aluminum 4.7-liter V8 with 234 hp and 263 lb-ft in the 928S. Even with that and the Camaro being 14 inches longer than the Porsche, the American was a surprising 40 pounds lighter than the German. The show took them to Summit Point Raceway in West Virginia to see how close a relative performance bargain could hang with a the German GT. Both had five-speed manual transmissions, but the high-speed corners and tight sections of Summit Point would test other handling variables, including the "bone-rattling" Camaro's solid rear axle and disc and drum brake setup vis-a-vis the four-wheel disc brakes and independent suspension on the "firm-but-smooth" Porsche. Paradoxically, the larger disparity 22 years ago resulted in a closer result. Check out the video to see how the Summit was won.

GM to squeeze out more production capacity for midsize trucks

Tue, May 26 2015

General Motors was predicting a strong showing for the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon before they debuted, and demand among dealers for the midsize trucks even exceeded company's expectations. The positive situation has left GM with a problem, though: finding ways to increase capacity for the pickups at the Wentzville Assembly plant in Missiouri. With a third shift already running, GM has continued to look for ways to build just a few more of the trucks at the plant. The company has plans to hire as many as 1,000 more workers for the Saturday and Sunday shifts to construct an additional 2,000 pickups a month, according to unnamed insiders at the factory speaking to Automotive News. The little adjustments even extend to getting rid of an unpaid break to add 18 minute of assembly time over the course of a day, which equals about 3,500 more vehicles a year. All of this effort comes because the trucks are in such high demand. According to GM's figures, the company has delivered a combined 35,720 units of the Colorado and Canyon from January through April 2015, and the Chevy was the fastest-selling truck in the US for the previous three months. In May, it spent an average of just 12 days in showrooms before being snapped up. And even better for the company, 43 percent of these buyers came from other brands. According to Automotive News, the most popular trade-ins have included the Ford F-150, Toyota Tacoma, and Dodge Dakota. Related Video:

Petrolicious profiles one man and his duo of '64 Impalas

Wed, Jul 1 2015

Restoring any vintage car is a labor of love. In the end, the investment of time and money is often more than the vehicle is realistically worth on the open market. Deciding to take all of that work on yourself doesn't make things any easier, but it can only increase your connection to the project. Don Rogers, the subject of the latest video from Petrolicious, shows this passion perfectly with his duo of 1964 Chevrolet Impalas – a hardtop and convertible. Both of these Chevys had been sitting for years before Rogers got his talented hands on them, and he did all of the work himself. Now, driving the pair is therapy for him, and he's not worried about anything breaking because he knows he can put it back together. Rogers says he enjoys wrenching on his vehicles even more than going to shows. Doing your own work comes with advantages, like tailoring a project's look to your preferences. It's not original, but Rogers used the crimson interior color from a '59 Impala on his convertible to make the interior pop with the top down. Rogers is undoubtedly a talented builder, and his work is worth checking out in the latest from Petrolicious. Related Video:
