I have too many cars and have just finished this project. And it is time for me to move onto my next project. You are looking at a 1988 Chevy Monte Carlo SS with T-tops, bucket seats with a floor console. I am only the 3rd owner. The gentlemen that owned it before me, is a 76 year old man who bought it in 1996 with 52K on it. I have the title to prove it. About 50K ago (at around 82K) he put in a GM 305 replacement motor. The car runs and drives excellent. It has a lifter tick at idle. The previous owner told me that it has always done that, even when the motor was brand new. If you bring the motor up to 1500 RPM it goes away. Transmission shifts beautifully. Mechanically it has always been well maintained. It gets good gas mileage and has just enough power. Has a nice posi 373 gear rear end. The interior is in good condition. Certainly the upholstry on the seats could use some attention. But the good news is, the interior is 100% complete in unrestored condition. Everything works in the interior & exterior, except for the cruise control and the A/C. The previous owner did a great job maintaining the car, but did not maintain the rust. And that is where I came in. I have two friends that own a professional body shop and I spent $3,000 in paint & bodywork alone to get the car to look this good. Yes the frame, tranny mount and floors, especially behind the front seat have been patched (sheet metal.) But welded in, fiberglass and done right. I would call it a period correct restoration. As you can see no shortcuts were taken on the body. And it came out great! There are several paint imperfections, that need to be touched up or finished. Most are unnoticable. The car has brand new SS decals. The raised white letter tires are in great shape. The rims were sandblasted and look new. The T-tops do leak some during heavy rain (they all do.) 1988 was one of the last full frame Chevrolets ever produced and 1988 was the last year for this body style Monte Carlo SS. The last Monte Carlo SS to roll off the line, was a Silver T-top just like this. This is within one of the last few thousand made. It only cost me $32 to register due to it's antique plate status. I get thumbs up and comments everywhere I go. My reserve is very low and I have much more into it. Bid with confidence. Check my feedback. Thank you

Former Fisker CEO has some advice for Tesla Motors
Wed, Oct 22 2014Former Fisker Automotive CEO and ex-Chevrolet Volt vehicle-line director Tony Posawatz has some words of caution for Tesla Motors. The long-time automaker executive questions the California automaker's long-term viability – and gives some praise – in a talk with Benzinga, which you can listen to below. While the all-wheel-drive D that Tesla unveiled earlier this month in Southern California wowed a packed crowd, Posawatz (starting at around minute 4:45 in the interview) says Tesla would've been better off taking the resources it expended toward that Model S upgrade and directed them towards speeding up the development of a more affordable plug-in. Perhaps a number of investors agreed, since the company's stock fell the day after the D was announced. Posawatz says Tesla has been over-reliant on the sale of ZEV credits. Posawatz also says that Tesla has been over-reliant on the sale of zero-emissions vehicle credits in California for its earnings and questions whether the automaker will ever work at a large enough scale to sufficiently drive down costs and make consistent profits. Tesla CEO Elon Musk would take issue with this characterization. Posawatz first made his mark in the plug-in vehicle world when he was the vehicle-line director at General Motors for the Volt extended-range plug-in from 2006 to 2012. Later that year, he joined extended-range plug-in maker Fisker Automotive as its CEO, though quit that job during the summer of 2013 as the company was descending into insolvency. He joined the Electrification Coalition this past March. News Source: Benzinga Green Chevrolet Fisker Tesla Electric PHEV Tony Posawatz
Surprise! GM putting aluminum in next-gen pickups
Wed, Aug 5 2015Last month, General Motors launched a series of ads touting the benefits of steel over aluminum – specifically, with regard to the Chevy Silverado versus the Ford F-150. (Kind of. We're not sure what a grizzly bear has to do with anything.) We took issue with the ads, with editor in chief Mike Austin saying they "reek of insecurity, and distract from the Silverado's strengths that could be used for positive advertising." But what bothers us more, is that yet another report surfaced claiming anti-aluminum GM will indeed use the weight-saving material in its next-generation fullsize trucks. On Tuesday, GM announced a $877-million investment for its truck plant in Flint, MI. But Reuters says that huge overhaul is because the trucks will use "substantially different equipment than the tools GM uses today." The report specifically states, "People familiar with the company's plans say GM's next-generation pickups and SUVs will make use of various materials, including aluminum and lightweight steel, to shed weight and gain fuel efficiency to meet tougher federal standards." The Silverado already uses a few aluminum components in the engine and hood, and if more widespread use will help GM build its best fullsize trucks ever, then that's great. Honestly, we have no reason to doubt that aluminum will be used in the next Silverado and GMC Sierra. We just hope GM remembers that nothing is ever truly deleted from the bowels of the Internet when it launches the subsequent "look how great aluminum is!" campaign.
