1984 Monte Carlo Ss Very Nice Driver 70619 Miles on 2040-cars
Vanceburg, Kentucky, United States
|
I bought this car on eBay a few years ago. The first part of the description is what the previous owner wrote
and I have found it accurate. 1984 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS. Runs and drives good (currently driven everyday and has current NC tags and inspection). Previous owner has swapped out the 305/3-speed combo for a 350/overdrive automatic (200R). Smoke-free. Also has a new tweed headliner and matching visors (previous owner had started to restore). Front end is lowered with drop spindles, rear springs are cut. Ball joints and bushings where replaced when the work was done. Wheels are stock, but in good shape. Power steering. Front disc brakes. Has optional 3.42 rear gears. Aftermarket gauges for H2O, Oil and volt. Fresh rebuild on the engine (approx 3000 mi). Engine has pop-up Keith Blacks, polished dual plane aluminum intake, and Holley carb. Dual Flowmasters. Battery is new and radiator was replaced when the engine was changed. AC compressor has been removed and I don't know the condition/function of the rest of the system. Cruise control does not work. Electric door locks were still, so I've unhooked the solenoids so they work manually. Note: A few people have questioned the validity of the car being a true SS. It is and the title verifies that. In 1984 the bench seat and column shift was an option for the SS and about 15% of the SS’s sold were like that. What I have done to the car: I have changed the oil and driven it approximately 1000 miles since purchase. I have added chrome valve covers and new chrome air breather. I didn’t like the tires so the front ones are new. All new interior upholstery New carpet New window felts New power window motors New outside door handles New door seals New trunk seal New door hinge kits New paint New Z28 style cowl hood scoop No cruise No air conditioning No power door locks When I got the car it had very little rust. The lip at the bottom of the trunk lid was the worst. That was repaired and water access was stopped. I drive the car to work a couple days a week in the summer on nice days. The paint looks good from a few feet out but is not perfect. It has a few medium sized runs that are noticeable on close inspection. It has never failed to start and run for me. It runs pretty strong for a big car. I believe the mileage to be accurate at 70619 currently. The car has a couple of fluid leaks. They are not bad enough that I have to check the fluids every time I drive it but they will spot the floor when it’s parked. I think one is the power steering unit and the other I’m not sure about. There are a couple of small cracks in the dash and the instrument cluster panel needs some attention. I know there are some things I am forgetting so if you are interested in this car please ask questions or even better, come see it. This is not a show car but it would be the perfect candidate for making one. It is as solid of a 1984 car your likely to find. The photos will show the car on the trailer the day I bought it and a few others of it now. |

Final C6 Corvette built in Bowling Green
Fri, 01 Mar 2013With all of the attention given to the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray lately, you could be forgiven for thinking that it's already well along in production, yet tooling up for the new C7 has only just begun. In fact, production of the outgoing C6 generation in Bowling Green, Kentucky just halted on Thursday.
As the C6 has aged, production numbers have predictably ebbed along with demand, but this year, the addition of the 427 and 60th anniversary models resulted in an uptick in vehicles built - this, despite a model year shortened by around 25 percent to accomodate the new model changeover. The final C6 Corvette ever, No. 13,466 built this year, was a white 427 Convertible destined for the General Motors Heritage Center museum. The car's 7.0-liter V8 heart was assembled by Corvette chief engineer Tadge Juechter himself.
In total, Bowling Green pushed out 215,100 C6 Corvettes over nine years. If you're still a C6 fan at heart and are hoping to get a good deal on a phase-out model, step lively - Chevrolet reportedly had about 6,100 unsold units, which Autoweek suggests is good for around five and a half months of supply at the model's current sales rates. Given that demand will likely slacken even further as the C7 draws closer, that should be a big enough stockpile to keep dealers satisfied until 2014 Stingrays begin showing up on their forecourts in December.

'84 MotorWeek Cherokee, Bronco and Blazer comparison indulges your SUV nostalgia
Fri, Jan 16 2015These days, truck-based, full-frame SUVs are somewhat of a rarity on the auto landscape due to the rapid rise in popularity of easier-driving, car-based crossovers. Although, without the gradually building popularity of these chunky, high-riding vehicles decades ago, it's unlikely that America's roads would be filled with so many CUVs today. In its latest dig into the archives, MotorWeek has found a 1984 comparison test of a trio of these early Sport Utility Wagons, as long-time host John Davis called them, that helped get acceptance of this segment going. This is a red, white and blue test of the SUVs from American automakers at the time and pits the Chevrolet Blazer, Ford Bronco and Jeep Cherokee (specifically in Wagoneer guise) against each other. Driving manners and interior usability are considered in the evaluation, but Motorweek actually takes these vehicles off road, too. Among the bigger revelations is the improvement in on-road ability in the past 30 years. While specific 0-60 times aren't given, all three models take around 10 seconds just to get to around 50 miles per hour in the 500-feet on-ramp acceleration test. Check out this clip to see just how far this segment has progressed in the past three decades or just get a blast of nostalgia from these now vintage models.
