Early Triple Black 1970 LS3 Big Block Monte Carlo


Just in time for summer cruising with only 60+ miles on a two year intensive frame on restoration.

1970 was the first year for the Monte Carlo, only a little over 7,000 Montes built in 1970 came with the 402 CID LS3 Turbo Jet big block 330 hp motor.

Factory options include: Power steering, power front disc rear drum brakes, tilt wheel, AM-FM Stereo, full gauge dash and very cold A/C.

The car also has a Halo vinyl top. The halo vinyl top stops short of the top of the windshield, only the early to mid 1970 Montes  had this.  It was changed midyear so the top comes all the way to the windshield. 

The motor has been completely rebuilt and some mild power upgrades have also been added.  It's also been detailed out very nicely.

Power is fed through the original Turbo Hydromatic 400 automatic transmission to a factory original 12 bolt Positraction 3.31:1 rear differential.

The body is rust free and laser straight, it was completely stripped to bare metal.  The passenger rear quarter was replaced due to a very poorly done past repair.  After weeks of massaging the body to assure it was perfectly straight, new black basecoat/clearcoat paint was applied.  It is just absolutely stunning.

The gaps are perfect all the way around and the doors open and close perfectly. 

All the stainless trim was straightened and days were spent highly polishing them to a mirror finish.  New lower rocker molding, lower body moldings and wheel opening trim were installed.  In addition new door handles, new rear bumper and all new weather strip.

New tinted windshield, door glass, back glass, drivers quarter glass, window felts and rubber seals.

The factory A/C has been completely rebuilt and blows very cold air.  New compressor, hoses, dryer, condenser and expansion valve.  The POA valve was also calibrated for use with R134.  Also under hood is a new wiper/washer motor, washer fluid bottle, battery and new inner fenders.

Five new 15x8 rally wheels, beauty rings and center caps with Goodyear tires.  Factory bumper jack properly mounted in the restored trunk.

The interior was restored with new upholstery, and cushions on the front and rear seats.  New front seat backs and trim.   New carpet and sound deadener.  New sill plates.  New door panels, rear side panels, headliner, dome lamp and sail panels. New front and rear speakers and package tray.  All the door handles, window cranks, rear view mirrors, hanger hooks, arm rest pads and lock knobs are new.  New brake pedal pad and accelerator pedal.

The dash pad was restored, the dash was removed from the car, cleaned detailed and reinstalled.  The dash has full gauges and even a working clock!

The front suspension and steering have been restored including a new drag link and shock absorbers along with a fresh alignment.  Rear shock were also installed.  All the bumper brackets were sandblasted and painted.

The grill is the original and has some flaws.

These cars have been called a bankers hot rod or a Chevelle with a tuxedo. 

She starts every time and drives perfectly.  She is very civilized and comfortable for cruising but will step up and be a brute when demanded!  This car is just a whole lot of fun!

I strongly urge you to come inspect this beauty, you will not be disappointed.  Contact me with any questions and I will respond as quickly as possible.

Chevy might've pulled out of NASCAR if it weren't for new Gen 6 car

Wed, 20 Feb 2013

We've been on the fence with NASCAR for some time now. On one hand, it's some of the closest racing anywhere in motorsports, with actual passing and door-handle-to-door-handle action as a matter of course. But on the other, it's become template racing - a personality-driven sport more about the drivers than any sort of loyalty to a particular automaker. The Car Of Tomorrow format really rammed that message home, with a racecar's identity coming down to little more than headlamp stickers slapped on the nose. That's not necessarily a bad thing in and of itself, but we've wondered for some time what's in it for the automakers, who pay big money to stay in a series that has had little increasingly little do with street car sales, let alone innovation.
Apparently General Motors was beginning to wonder the same thing. In a new ESPN report, Rick Hendrick, team owner of Hendrick Motorsports, suggests that GM would have seriously considered leaving NASCAR if it wasn't for the move away from the COT to the new Gen 6 racer. According to Hendrick, GM North America boss Mark Reuss spearheaded the charge away from the 2007 COT and toward a racecar with clearer automaker ties - cars like the new Chevrolet SS racer shown above. Learn more about the fight for a closer-to-production look in the ESPN story at the link.
Now, if we could just get more rear-wheel drive V8 coupes into showrooms....

Supercharged 2015 Chevy Corvette Z06 takes the C7 beyond the ZR1

Mon, 13 Jan 2014



The Z06 is just about everything we got in the last ZR1, but better.
After a bright-yellow false start, here is the real thing: the fourth-generation, 2015 Corvette Z06. If Chevrolet makes a ZR1 version of the C7 Corvette, it's going to be absolutely mega, because the Z06 is just about everything we got in the last ZR1, but better.

GM natural gas-powered vans recalled due to possible leak

Wed, Sep 24 2014

General Motors is recalling almost 3,200 of its compressed-natural-gas powered utility vans because of possible leaks. GM and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) released a notice last week saying that 3,196 Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana CNG vans are on recall, though no accidents have been reported due to the possible issue. The recall is specifically for vans for model years ranging from 2011 to 2014. The recall stems from a potential leak from the compressed natural gas high-pressure regulator, and such a leak could cause a fire or explosion. GM will replace the vehicles' high-pressure regulator in order to fix the problem, will do it free of charge and is instructing owners to contact Chevrolet or GMC customer service to arrange for the parts replacement. Utility vehicle makers like General Motors have pushed for fleet sales of CNG-powered vans and trucks for the past few years and have touted them for their cheaper refueling costs relative to standard gasoline, not to mention the fact that natural gas can be readily sourced from throughout North America (thanks, fracking). According to CNGPrices.com, compressed natural gas sells for about $2.22 a gallon, on average, while the AAA is pegging the average price of gas at $3.34 a gallon. NHTSA has posted information on the recall here. Featured Gallery News Source: NHTSA via Reuters Green Chevrolet GM GMC Natural Gas Vehicles CNG gmc savana
