OK, up for sale is my 1986 Monte Carlo. Originally purchased this last year as a project for my son and I, but alas, money and time got in the way.
Bad news first:

The original carburetor (Rochester Quadrajet) was replaced by the original seller to an Edelbrock Performer. Edelbrock works fine but since it is not connected to the ECM, the timing keeps advancing and it is nearly impossible to get her running smoothly.
Landau top needs to either be deleted or repaired
The interior of the car needs help (interior door panel on passenger side is detached, have most parts for it. Dash pad is cracked. Gauges work fine. Seats are solid but dirty)
Exterior of the car - paint is there but most likely it was a cheap Maaco paint job as some parts are visible and the original cream color of the car can be seen in the jambs and stuff.
Body - panels are solid, front end needs to be shimmed and aligned properly. Bondo on Passenger door by mirror and bondo on left fender. Couple of small rust spots that can be ground out and filled (nothing through the panels)
Exhaust - leak in the exhaust, needs replacement.

Good news time:

Windshield is brand new, replaced by Safelite last summer
She starts up well and idles well but then once she reaches temp, starts to run too rich.
Tires are good
No rust in the trunk
Overall good condition, just needs someone who knows what they are doing to have this car - NOT me. :-)

I am including a bunch of body parts:

Two front fenders from an SS (I think it was an 86 or 87)
Two doors (rusted bottoms but complete interiors) from same donor SS
Hood
Trunk
Front clip and lights assembly from the SS

Additionally, I am also including the following parts:

Rebuilt Rochester Quadrajet E4ME (From Mountain Man carbs - HIGHLY rated) (300 bucks)
Replacement headliner and visors from Mike's Montes and replacement radiator overflow tank (300 bucks)
MSD Pro-Billet RTR Distributor for Small Block Chevy (from Summit, $289)
MSD Coil Blaster for RTR Distributor ($50)
Street Fire spark plug wires (Summit, $40)
LH and RH Exhaust manifolds (Summit, $225)
Set of Autolite Xtreme Performance plugs (Summit, $60)
Additional parts and pieces from the donor car (some interior parts, Chrome dressup kit, hood hinge, wiring harness for lights, etc.)

If you can do body work and minor mechanical stuff, you can have a sweet ride in no time. I don't do any body work so I'd lose a ton of money paying someone to do it.

Heck, you could part this out to the Monte Carlo community and make twice my asking price back - I just need to get it out of here and don't have the time to take this project to completion. By my estimate, it's pretty darn close and is still unmolested enough that you could make a really sweet ride out of it. She drives, shifts, brakes, and steers fine. Just wouldn't recommend taking her long distance until the timing issue is worked out and the exhaust leak is fixed.

Parts and car alone totalled me over 4000... you have 1300 bucks in unused parts also included that you could either use or resell. She's got great potential, I just don't have the time. Son needs a reliable car NOW and really doesn't have the interest in this project that I hoped he would.

NOW - for the legalistic stuff:

If you commit to buy, it is committing to buy - NOT committing to come over and inspect and kick the tires. I have described everything to my best ability and am always available via email or eBay messages to answer any questions, take additional pictures, etc.
If you purchase, I need 500 down and the remainder within one week. Car needs to be picked up within one week of the close of sale. I will not arrange shipping, I do not have a trailer. I *will* however, help load it up.
Car is sold as is, where is, no warranties expressed or implied; no returns.

2014 Chevrolet SS makes its live debut

Sat, 16 Feb 2013

Chevrolet showed off the new 2014 SS in an airport hangar last night, its first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan in the US since the Impala SS from 1997. We'll have more to say about the SS later today, but this is the sedan that Chevrolet sees as the final piece in restoring its performance credentials. For those of you looking for a manual transmission, however, that wish will go unfulfilled - at least for now: the only two options buyers will have are the color and whether or not they want a sunroof.
We'll work on getting some more angles (in better light) today at Daytona International Speedway, but with fans seeing the car for the first time, we don't hold out much luck of getting a clear shot. So for now, enjoy the high-res gallery above.

More Corvette Stingray Factoids: Vanishing panel gaps and 26-mpg LT1

Thu, 28 Feb 2013

During January's Detroit Auto Show, we managed a longer than expected wandering tag-team interview with C7 Corvette chief engineering exec Tadge Juechter (pictured above), and LT1 engine boss Jordan Lee (pictured below). They are, quite honestly, two of the very nicest bigshot lads to ever walk the engineering corridors of an American manufacturer. Both are enthralled by what they're doing for a day job. So are we.
We've followed the pre-sale anticipation for the Chevrolet C7 Corvette Stingray like an Oreck vacuum yanking every speck of dirt from a well-trampled carpet. Everything is reportable and contains a grain of further knowledge about this dramatically important and cheered-for car, as it continues to be pressured into representing all that is superior about the American dream. The Corvette wears one heavy cloak.
So, most of what was talked about has been expertly reported already right here on Autoblog. But, looking through our notes again, both Jeuchter and Lee added facts to the buzzing mix.

Thu, Jan 21 2016

From the Washington Auto Show today, Green Car Journal's Ron Cogan announced three different fuel-efficient vehicle awards. They were: 2016 Connected Green Car of the Year: Chevy Malibu Hybrid 2016 Luxury Green Car of the Year: Volvo XC90 T8 2016 Green SUV of the Year: Honda HR-V The Volvo was nominated in two categories, but it did not win the Connected Green Car of the Year. Speaking of non-winners, the other green SUV finalists were the BMW X1 XDrive28i, Hyundai Tucson, Mazda CX-3, and Toyota RAV4 Hybrid. The other Luxury Green Car finalists included the BMW x5 xDrive40e, Lexus RX 450h, Porsche Cayenne S E-Hybrid, and the Mercedes-Benz C350e. Finally, the Audi A3 e-tron, BMW 330e, Toyota Prius, and Volvo XC90 T8 were the runners up for Connected Green Car. 2016 Connected Green Car of the Year, Green SUV of the Year, Luxury Green Car of the Year Winners Announced WASHINGTON, Jan. 21, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Green Car Journal has announced the winners of its prestigious 2016 Green Car Awards at a press conference held today during the Washington Auto Show's Public Policy Day in Washington DC. Distinguished as 2016 Luxury Green Car of the Year™ is Volvo's new XC90 T8. The Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid tops the field as 2016 Connected Green Car of the YearÂ™ and Honda's HR-V earns Green Car Journal's 2016 Green SUV of the YearÂ™. "These are stand-out vehicles in an increasingly sophisticated and appealing field of 'green' cars," said Ron Cogan, editor and publisher of Green Car Journal and CarsOfChange.com. "To make the cut as a finalist is a real achievement in itself considering the considerable competition in the market today. Rising to the top as award winners means these three exceptional vehicles set a benchmark in the auto industry's effort to create vehicles that are desirable and efficient, while also achieving environmental milestones so important for our driving future." The Green Car Awards are a key feature of The Washington Auto Show, the "public policy show" on the auto show circuit and one that puts a priority on safety and sustainability. "We are extremely proud of our partnership with Ron Cogan, whose eagerly anticipated suite of awards help shape the national conversation on the innovations that will drive our industry and country forward," said Geoff Pohanka, chairman of The Washington Auto Show.
