Monte Carlo fans rejoice, we've found one of the most perfectly preserved 1985 SS coupes available anywhere. Representing the last of GM's rear-wheel-drive luxury/muscle cars, this amazing survivor has had just two owners and shows just 18,778 original miles. It'll be hard to find a nicer one anywhere at any price. After GM killed the Caprice 2-door, the Monte Carlo was the last of the full-sized coupes, and 1985 was a very good year, with upgraded handling and an overdrive transmission. Enduring because of its NASCAR reputation and with a handsome, angular look, this Monte Carlo SS coupe represents a future collectable that's a lot of fun to own and drive. The original black paint is wonderfully well preserved, showing only very minor signs of use and appears to be defying its age. Paint quality is surprisingly good given GM's quality control issues of the period, and this sinister black Monte looks smooth and bright, with the best color match between the various components we've ever seen. The SS package added a modest ground-effects package with deck lid spoiler, blacked-out trim, and bright red tape stripes and SS emblems, all of which give it a sporty look. Red fabric was a popular choice in the SS, and provides a wonderful contrast to the black exterior and works with GM's formal styling. The buckets are modestly bolstered, but remain in outstanding condition, with no wear or damage to the fabric seating surfaces, and they're still supportive and comfortable. A center console gives the SS a performance look inside, an image enhanced by the full array of round gauges in the standard instrument panel. This SS is loaded with features, including A/C, power windows, cruise control, a tilt wheel, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel, all of which work to remind you of the Monte Carlo's luxury car origins. A factory AM/FM/cassette stereo remains just below the climate controls and has that warm sound that characterized the GM/Delco systems of the time without the complexity of all those buttons that came later. In back, the massive trunk looks like new and still carries the original space-saver spare and jack assembly. All Monte Carlo SS models were equipped with Chevy's reliable and torquey 305 cubic inch V8, which was rated at 180 horsepower thanks to a 4-barrel carburetor. As a small-block Chevy, modifications and performance parts are insanely easy to find and install, so it's always amazing when we discover an all-original survivor like this with almost all of its original equipment 100% intact. From the stock air cleaner and intake hose to the original carburetor and cast iron exhaust manifolds, this car has never been tinkered with or abused, so you can buy with confidence. Heck, there's still a catalytic converter under there, so no worries registering it anywhere in the country. A 4-speed automatic was the only transmission available in the SS and a set of 3.42 gears were fitted out back to give it impressive acceleration and easy cruising. Monte Carlos like this are sure-fire future collectables, and those at the top of the charts will be low-mileage survivors like this.

Refreshed 2014 Camaro confirmed for New York debut
Thu, 07 Mar 2013We've already seen leaked specs and potential spy shots, but the refreshed 2014 Chevrolet Camaro will make its official debut at the New York Auto Show in a few weeks.
Besides a tweaked exterior and the possibility of a high-output LS7 under the hood, we really don't know much else about the 2014 Camaro, but here's hoping for an improved interior, too.
In addition to the refreshed Camaro, Chevrolet will also be showing off the recently introduced Chevrolet SS, making its debut on the auto show circuit, and we'll also get our first look at the C7 Corvette coupe and convertible side-by-side.
Mustang retakes monthly pony car sales crown from Camaro
Wed, Dec 3 2014Going back to their origins in the Swinging '60s, the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro have been fierce rivals for fans' hearts and dollars. Historically, the Ford often led in volume, but Chevy took the muscle car top spot in 2009 upon the Camaro's rebirth. However, with the launch of the latest Blue Oval pony car, the tide is turning back in Ford's favor. November was the first full month of sales for the new 2015 Mustang, and according to TheDetroitBureau.com, the model did spectacularly well. The Blue Oval shifted 8,728 of them, up 62 percent from same month last year, with the automaker proclaiming it the model's best November sales since 2006. Conversely, 4,385 units of the Camaro were delivered, down 13.5 percent year-over-year, meaning its sales were roughly half that of the new-generation Mustang. Ford is understandably happy with the results, and product development director Raj Nair even hinted to TDB that another version of the Mustang might be unveiled at January's North American International Auto Show. Rumor has it that the model will be the even more potent Shelby Mustang GT350R. Despite the Mustang's November success, the Camaro outsells it year to day. So far in 2014, Ford has sold 73,124 Mustangs versus 79,669 examples of the Camaro. With December offering the last chance for an overtake, the Bowtie may yet remain king for this year's sales crown. A new Camaro is peeking over the horizon, as well. It's reportedly moving to the Alpha platform used by the Cadillac ATS, and production could start in late 2015. Prototypes are already testing at the Nurburgring, and camouflaged examples have been spotted weirdly being compared to its '80s forefather.
Opel pulls out of Russia, GM to focus on Cadillac, 'iconic' Chevys
Wed, Mar 18 2015General Motors is going to realign its priorities in the struggling Russian marketplace, withdrawing its Opel brand and pulling out mainstream Chevrolet models. Instead, the General will take aim at Russia's well-established oligarchy, pushing Cadillac as well as "iconic" Chevrolet models, like the Corvette, Camaro and Tahoe. "This change in our business model in Russia is part of our global strategy to ensure long-term sustainability in markets where we operate," GM president Dan Ammann said in a statement. "This decision avoids significant investment into a market that has very challenging long-term prospects." Russian customers interested in an Opel or mainstream Chevys like the Spark, Aveo (the US market Sonic), Cobalt (shown above), Cruze, Orlando and the like have until December to snap up a car before the brands are pulled. "We do not have the appropriate localization level for important vehicles built in Russia and the market environment does not justify a major investment to further localize." Opel Group CEO Karl-Thomas Neumann said. GM will continue to offer service to customers in Russia. "We can assure our customers that we will continue to provide warranty, parts and services for their Chevrolet and Opel vehicles," Neumann said. Beyond realigning its brands in Russia, GM also announced that it would also be idling the company's factory in the country's second-largest city, St. Petersburg. This is the second time the St. Petersburg factory has been in the news – GM announced that it'd be idled for roughly two months back in February. Scroll down for the official press release from GM. GM to Change Business Model in Russia 2015-03-18 Focus on Cadillac and iconic Chevrolet vehicles Wind down Opel brand and sale of mainstream Chevrolet cars Idle GM Auto manufacturing facility in St. Petersburg Part of GM's strategy to ensure long-term sustainability in global markets DETROIT – General Motors today announced plans to change its business model in Russia. GM will focus on the premium segment of the Russian market with Cadillac and U.S.-built iconic Chevrolet products such as the Corvette, Camaro and Tahoe. The Chevrolet brand will minimize its presence in Russia and the Opel brand will leave the market by December 2015. "This change in our business model in Russia is part of our global strategy to ensure long-term sustainability in markets where we operate," said GM President Dan Ammann.
