Mint 86 Monte Carlo Ss, G-body, Time Capsule, 31k Miles, L69,g80, Needs Nothing! on 2040-cars
Englishtown, New Jersey, United States
|
Up for auction is a beautiful 1986 Monte Carlo SS. It has approximately 31,900 original miles with a completely untouched stock drivetrain. Has current NJ State Inspection until 2016. It has always been garage kept and is in beautiful condition with no rust, no accidents, and no dents or body damage to speak of with the exception of a couple of very small chips, which is normal for an original paint car. The car along the way of it's life has been upgraded with a power moonroof which is fully operational with no problems, window tint, 1 inch cowl hood, 18 inch torque thrust wheels with Hancock tires and a CD player with MP3 and iPod compatibility, upgraded speakers from stock for a nicer sound, and LED headlights. I believe I am the third owner, I purchased the car from a good friend who took care of the car meticulously and always had it garage kept. The drivetrain is completely stock down to the original exhaust, nothing has been done to modify this car in anyway. The car still rides on its original suspension including shocks and drives beautifully with no rattles or shakes. It is equipped with F41 suspension, G80 differential and the L69 high output 5.0L V-8. The steering is tight, the brakes are strong and the engine is powerful. The car has a new radiator due to a leak from the original, the cooling system was completely flushed, all belts were replaced using AC Delco parts and the rear differential fluid was replaced with synthetic fluid and a limited slip additive. The car has been babied its whole life and it shows when you drive it, it feels like a new car. I had plans to install a LS1 engine and turn it into a street rod but the car is so nice it would be a shame to alter the car in anyway. This is the reason why I am selling it. And also I have no room to store the car properly since it is original paint. Look over the pictures, if you have any questions just email me. I have all the paperwork from when the car was new and receipts for work that was done throughout the years up until 2014. Please do not ask for the reserve price. Also please do not ask how much to end the auction early. If you have an offer just send it to me along with a name and a phone number and we can discuss it. The original rims, and radio are all available if the winning bidder decides he/she wants them. Car absolutely needs nothing, just a new owner! The car was fully detailed, wet sanded and buffed and looks great. Thanks for looking! Please look at my feedback on the cars I have sold in the past. I do not exaggerate, mislead or lie about my cars. The way I describe them are the way they are. I buy and sell cars as a hobby, not a business. I love many different cars, but I am not rich. I need to sell a car to have the next one. ANYONE WITH LESS THAN 5 FEEDBACKS, THE BID WILL BE RETRACTED. I HAVE HAD PEOPLE WITH LITTLE TO NO FEEDBACK RUIN AN AUCTION BECAUSE THEY DO NOT KNOW HOW EBAY WORKS. IT IS VERY EXPENSIVE TO LIST A CAR ON EBAY TO HAVE SOMEONE RUIN IT. SORRY, PAST ISSUES HAVE MADE ME CHANGE THE WAY I SELL THINGS ON EBAY, ESPECIALLY A CAR. PLEASE NO THIRD PARTY REPRESENTATIVES!
PLEASE NO LOW BALL OFFERS OR TEST DRIVERS, ONLY SERIOUS BUYERS, DON'T WASTE MY TIME OR YOURS!!!!!!!!! ***IN THE AD IT STATES THAT IT HAS 18 INCH TORQUE THRUST. IT DOESNT! IT HAS THE ORIGINAL WHEELS WITH NEW BF GOODRICH RADIAL T/A's, THANKS,*** |

Experimental mid-engine XP-819 Corvette going up for auction
Sun, 17 Feb 2013It seems to be commonplace that when a new Corvette is in development, rumors swirl about a possible mid-engine layout. As is the case of Chevy's most recent C7 Corvette, these rumors never pan out.
In any case, the idea for a 'Vette with an engine mounted behind the driver can probably all be traced back to a single car, the 1964 XP-819 prototype. Built as an "engineering exercise" back in 1964, the prototype was designed with a rear-mounted engine. History tells us that the idea of a rear-engine Corvette fizzled, and the XP-819 was eventually cut up into pieces and stored at a shop in Daytona Beach, FL.
After sitting for untold years, a restoration project started on the car, and while it isn't yet fully completed, the current owner of the car, Mid America Motorworks, will have the car on display at the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance as a "driveable chassis" with hopes of having a fully completed car ready to bring to next year's show.
800k car names trademarked globally, suddenly alphanumerics seem reasonable
Tue, 01 Oct 2013What's in a name? This cliched phrase probably gets tossed out at every marketing meeting that happens when a new car gets its nomenclature. We know the answer, though: everything. The name of a car has all the potential to make or break it with fickle customers that are more conscious than ever about what their purchases say about them.
That's giving headaches to marketing folks across the automotive industry. "It's tough. In 1985 there were about 75,000 names trademarked in the automotive space. Today there are 800,000," Chevrolet's head of marketing, Russ Clark, told Automotive News. Infiniti's president, Johan de Nysschen, echoed Clark's sentiment, saying, "The truth of the matter is, across the world, there is hardly a name or a letter that hasn't already been claimed by one car manufacturer or another. You can go through the alphabet - A, B, C and so forth - and you will quickly see that almost all available letters are taken."
What has that left automakers to do? Get creative. In the case of Infiniti, it made the controversial move to bring all of its cars' names into a new scheme, classifying them as Q#0 for cars and QX#0 for SUVs and crossovers. So the Infiniti G, which was available as the G25 and G37, is now the Q50. The FX37 and FX50 are now the QX70.
GM takes heat for aborted Silverado riff on 'Boston Strong' at World Series
Thu, 31 Oct 2013During game five of the World Series, Chevrolet was set to do a spot of marketing for the 2014 Silverado - fans at Busch Stadium in St. Louis would hold up placards that spelled out the words "Silverado Strong," a theme that Chevy has been promoting since the Silverado's launch with the song "Strong," by Will Hoge. The St. Louis promo was ultimately called off, though, over concerns that it'd be insensitive to the visiting Boston Red Sox. (You can see the image of what the stunt would have looked like above, courtesy of one timely Reddit user.)
Now, the Busch Stadium stunt might not have been a big deal, had the St. Louis Cardinals not been playing the Boston Red Sox. Following the tragic events in Boston during the marathon back in April, the phrase "Boston Strong" gained traction among the city's citizens, especially at sporting events. So, you can imagine that Chevy's appropriation of the phrase might not sit well with some fans.
The stunt was ultimately shelved after images of the signs went viral before the game, leading to a bit of a public backlash. Chevy spokesperson Michael Albano said of the promo that it was meant to show the brand's "commitment to baseball and its fans." But after the images went viral, the company "realized there was the possibility that we may offend some of the very fans we were trying to honor," Albano told Automotive News via email.
