1978 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Survivor Collector Car In Mint Condition

50K original miles on the 231ci V6 with automatic transmission.

Starts, runs and drives great.

Title is clean and has been on a California PNO (Planned Non-Operation) since 2001.

For more pictures see the Craigslist listing @   http://inlandempire.craigslist.org/cto/4629356027.html

This is a great example of a survivor collector car. It has been well taken care of first by my grandfather who was the original owner of this southern California car. It was purchased for him by a vehicle leasing agent from the Martin Chevrolet dealership which is still in business in Torrance California. I took ownership of it when he stopped driving it in 2001. It only has 50K original miles, and has always been garaged. The interior is original and in great condition with no cracks, tears, or fading to the dash or seats, except for the original headliner which was replaced about 5 years ago because it was falling down. Original paint except for the bumpers, side mirrors, and hubcaps which have been touched up with color matched paint. The chrome bumper inserts are 3M side molding strips, but the original scraped up and faded pieces are in the trunk. The engine and engine bay were cleaned and the valve covers and manifold were touched up with original blue paint around 2002.

Watch how Corvette Racing's new collision-avoidance radar system works

Fri, 22 Mar 2013

When it comes to technology used in racecars, we generally expect it to trickle down to production cars, not the other way around. Well, Pratt & Miller has developed a new rear-facing radar that operates in a similar fashion to what we're used to in modern blind spot detection systems, only it is also capable of tracking cars as they approach and relaying vital information to the driver via a large display screen.
The innovative radar system debuted at last weekend's 12 Hours of Sebring for Corvette Racing, and this system makes perfect sense for endurance races like this since the cars sometimes have to drive through the night and in poor weather conditions.
The radar can detect cars even with poor visibility, and uses easy-to-distinguish symbols for the driver to identify.

2014 Chevrolet Malibu gets more torque, more room and inspiration from the Impala

Fri, 31 May 2013

The 2014 Chevrolet Malibu, having stared at the Impala across the showroom floor for a year, gets nips and tucks all over inspired by its larger brother. The 2.5-liter four-cylinder in the base car will get a stop-start system and 23 city miles per gallon, 35 highway, each number representing a one-mpg improvement over the 2013 car. Output is 196 horsepower and 186 pound-feet of torque.
Opt for the 2.0-liter turbo and, while power holds steady at 259 hp, torque goes up by 14 percent to a striking 295 lb-ft (a figure Chevy calls best in the class). The final details include newly programmed transmission shift points and faster shifts, for better engaging and enjoying the added power.
Looks-wise, the grille's been reshaped to be more in line with the new Chevrolet look, a narrower upper grille hovering over a larger lower grille.

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.
