OK so im going to try to sell my 87 monte carlo on here... never sold a car on here so I will list it to the fullest extent, and note I only deal with pay pal. I purchased this car in 09 and built a mild 355 for it and raced it, the car then ran a 13.10 at 106. then I traded it away, and purchased it back last year and re did everything. TOO much invested in the car.
the car is a 87 monte carlo LS sport. the mileage on title is exempt and when I bought it the first time the original owner told me it was about 70k. I can not verify that. the cluster says 60k title is clear not reconstructed. I converted it to the SS nose, and swapped the light harness. all lights work. only piece needed to complete the conversion is the filler plate between nose and the middle of rad support. I was planning to make a custom one but never got around to it.
The body is in good shape,it's currently primered wich some people love others hate, I personally only primered it for time being until I got it painted. the fenders are brand new, all LS moldings and rivets are gone, as well as vinyl top. only filler in the body is in the top of the corner glass at the roof, common prob for these cars. there is a small hole smaller then a dime in each quarter under the marker by the marker lights. I'm not good at body work so I didn't attempt to fix them. Car has the SS spoiler too. every light in and on the car works.
cooling system: stock lt1 rad from 94 Camaro, dual electric fan set up from same car, dual relays , wired to thermo switch to come on at 170 and off at 160.

Rear is a stock 373 posi monte rear, ss sway bar... NOTE THERE IS NO FRONT SWAY BAR
Exhaust is 2 3" flowmasters mounted right at the headers, just on the other sided of crossmember, no body exit, will need different exhaust set up to be legal. I made this just to get the car mobile until I got a new exh kit, but ended up liking the way it sounds, motor responds extremely well to this too. its loud
wheels are cragar street lites, not aluminum, steel wheels. one rear is slightly rusted but still looks good, 15x8 rear and 15x7 front, brand new 275/60/15s on the back.
jegs electric fuel pump, pre and post filters, new aluminum 3/8th fuel line from tank up. new jegs fuel pressure gauge on carb
Interior was dark red, I changed everything over to gray, car still needs a headliner and the carpet isn't that great. should have a new carpet and headliner
OVERALL the car is great if you like G body's like I do. looks tough and runs awesome and sounds even better, with little body work, paint, and a headliner the car can be show worthy. its not easy to find these any more due to people wrecking them on the tracks. car has not been raced since the new drive train installed, but is well capable of a low 12 to high 11. pulls very hard and is reliable, runs at 160 all day and about 50 lb oil pressure warm.
also battery is mounted in trunk, new box and cable kit, 2 gauge power wire, works fine and charges at 14.5 volts
any questions, just message me I can answer anything related to this car.
ONLY reason im selling this car is I'm having a kid and don't need a project right now and can use the money towards a new car.
SORRY forgot to list the gas gauge does not work, it did about a month ago, it just stopped. sorry

Mysterious white powder discovered at GM Orion Assembly
Fri, Sep 2 2016Workers at General Motors Orion Assembly Plant in Orion Township, MI uncovered a mysterious white powder in two different parts of the factory earlier this week, raising concerns about worker safety. "We can confirm that an unknown substance (white powder) was found on the floor outside of Gate 6 at Orion Assembly on Monday, August 29. On Tuesday, August 30, we had a second report of a bottle containing a similar substance found inside the plant," GM spokesperson Dayna Hart told The Oakland Press via email. GM stressed that incident didn't disrupt operations at the plant, and that the company was taking steps to ensure the safety of the sprawling factory's workers. That did include, an anonymous worker told The Oakland Press, closing off parts of the factory for two full days, as drug-sniffing dogs and crews in haz-mat suits descended on the area. "A sample of the substance has been sent to a laboratory for identification and results are expected later this week," Hart said. "All findings and actions have been shared with our employees." Orion Assembly currently builds the Chevrolet Sonic and Buick Verano, and will eventually be responsible for production of the new, all-electric Chevy Bolt early next year. Related Video:
Next-gen Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra may use carbon fiber
Thu, Dec 7 2017It's been generally accepted that the next generation of full-size GM trucks will use some sort of strong, lightweight material for the beds while retaining steel for the cab. While aluminum seems like the most obvious choice, according to Automotive News, the Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra will incorporate both aluminum and carbon fiber in their beds. The publication cites sources from within GM, though it seems the introduction of this comparatively exotic material mix is still a few years off. While carbon fiber is both stronger and lighter than steel and aluminum, it takes significantly more time and money to produce, essentially relegating the material to small-volume cars. The main benefit for trucks is the resulting reduction in weight to improve fuel economy without sacrificing the tough, rugged capabilities truck buyers expect. The Ford F-150 made the switch to aluminum for the 2015 model year and it's proved highly successful. It seemed like it was only a matter of time before the competition followed suit. Automotive News says that the next-gen trucks will launch with aluminum beds and that it will take a couple of years before we'll see any carbon fiber incorporated into the design. Even then, only look for the composite material on higher-trim models, with a trickle down to lower-spec trucks possible further in the future. In 2011, GM announced it was working with Japan-based Teijin Limited on a carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic. There's a good chance that material's introduction will be on trucks.

UAW to vote on strike at Kentucky Corvette plant
Tue, 08 Apr 2014The current wait time for a new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is well, not short. With word of a strike at the Bowling Green, KY factory responsible for seventh-generation sports car, though, that wait time could end up growing substantially.
Now, a strike is still a ways off. UAW Local 2164, which represents the 800 workers responsible for screwing the Corvette together, is set to vote on authorizing a strike today, but even if the employees give the action a go, it's far from a sure thing. According to The Tennessean, both regional and national union officials would need to put their stamp of approval on strike action.
"The membership has to vote to strike, but it's just a step in the process," said Gary Casteel, the UAW's Region 8 director and one of the people that would need to authorize a strike action. Casteel told The Tennessean, "It's purely a local situation, though. They are having some issues with the local management."
