Up for auction is my 1978 Factory 4 speed Monte Carlo I bought new in December 1978. This unbelievable original paint beauty has brought home multiple Super Chevy and Chevy Hi-Performance event trophies and continues to draw a crowd wherever it goes. The original factory paint (35 years of hand rubbing and maticulous care) will flat blow you away, this car hasn't seen rain in more than 30 years. On top of being a black, original LG3 (305) and saginaw M20 4 speed (1 of 1,719 in '78) Monte, it also was ordered with T-Top and Posi Rear with dealer installed 3.23 gears. The frame and undercarrage is equally as clean as the top of the car. The interior is perfect with mostly original surfaces, I redid the headliner in 2001 and a couple years ago re-dyed any plastic pieces that were beginning to fade and replaced the carpet. The dash, seats and door panels look as good as they did the day I brought it home in '78, the steering wheel is a LaCarra red leather wrapped C-3 Corvette style wheel (factory tilt column). The car was ordered w/o AC though did receive the Lux Seat package as well as HD suspension(F40), HD radiator & HD electrical system. The dealer installed the half vinyl roof (its original and like new condition also) and the rearend gears in place of "performance" 3.08 option. In '96 with 46K (now has 55K) miles on the car I pulled the original 305 and Saginaw trans (they go with the car) and added the GM Crate ZZ3 350 (aluminum head & roller cam - 345 HP) motor and Borg Warner Super T-10 4 speed (from a Z28). Accessories include CenterForce Dual Friction clutch, Hurst Indy Shifter, Edelbrock (#1406) 600 carb, Edelbrock TES ceramic coated headers, extremely sneaky quiet 2.5" Dynamax Turbo mufflers with stock looking exhaust tips, Hotchkis springs, KYB Gas Shocks, Autometer tach & underdash guages, Alpine CD, Billet valve covers, Lokar dip stick, K&N aircleaner and the carb and ignition were custom dialed in for max performace. Wheels are 16" Billet Centerlines and Tires are Goodrich ZRs, while they still have almost full tread and look new, should probably be replaced if anything other than cruising and car shows are on your agenda - no cracking or signs of age, they've just lost their stickiness. I relined brakes pads and calipers less than 500 miles ago. Everything works and the car is extremely solid. Never been hit, rusted, pulled apart, or otherwise molested, even all the glass is original. This is a relatively light car (<3,100 lb) and well balanced and performs extremely well. The condition of this maticulously cared for rare 4 speed equipped Performance and Show Monte will flat blow you away, people ask me all the time who painted it and when was it restored. I hate to sell it though unfortunately must choose between it and a Corvette I bought several years ago. I am not interested in any trades, see my CarDomain webpage for additional history and photos. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3156772/1978-chevrolet-monte-carlo/ you may reach me via email anytime: ac216@comcast.net The car is in the Atlanta area, I would be glad to allow you to inspect it if your serious. This car will be sold as is, no warranty. A $500 non refundable deposit is required in 48 hours if my reserve is met and you are the highest bidder, funds to clear my bank before you take the car.

GM recalls Cadillac ATS and Chevy Impala for separate issues
Fri, Feb 27 2015The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration added two recalls from General Motors in the government organization's daily update of safety campaigns. Both were for failing to meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards but for completely separate reasons. The larger recall covers 58,698 units of the 2013-2015 Cadillac ATS, but it doesn't really carry huge safety concerns. In vehicles produced between April 25, 2012, and February 9, 2015, the controls for the tilt and slide of the moonroof are not recessed enough, as required by federal law. According to NHTSA, it's possible that someone could inadvertently activate the auto-close for the roof panel, which the agency claims increases "the risk of personal injury." Dealers will install a new trim plate that will add the necessary clearance. The other campaign covers 1,177 examples of the 2014 Chevrolet Impala from between November 15, 2012, and May 27, 2014. However, this is actually a repeat of a previous recall on the Chevy and the Cadillac XTS from 2014. The affected Impalas here "were remedied incorrectly" under the earlier campaign, according to NHTSA. On these sedans, it's possible the electronic parking brake might not fully disengage and still remain in some contact with the rotor, which is in violation of federal rules. The fault can cause excessive heat from the brakes that could potentially lead to a fire, according to NHTSA. To fix the problem, dealers will reprogram the electronic parking brake control module. Show full PR text RECALL Subject : Inadvertent Press of Roof Panel Switch/FMVSS 118 Report Receipt Date: FEB 24, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V106000 Component(s): VISIBILITY Potential Number of Units Affected: 58,698 All Products Associated with this Recall Vehicle Make Model Model Year(s) CADILLAC ATS 2013-2015 Details Manufacturer: General Motors LLC SUMMARY: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2013-2015 Cadillac ATS vehicles manufactured April 25, 2012, to February 9, 2015. In the affected vehicles, the power-operated roof panels auto-close when the non-recessed "Slide" or "Tilt" switches are pressed. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) No.
Netflix to feature electric cars from GM and others in programming
Sun, Feb 5 2023LOS ANGELES — Netflix has unveiled a new star for some of its upcoming programming: electric vehicles from General Motors and other automakers. The streaming service announced an agreement on Thursday to feature vehicles including the Chevrolet Bolt, the electric GMC Hummer pickup and the Cadillac Lyriq in TV series and films "where relevant." The companies will highlight the partnership in a commercial featuring Will Ferrell that will air during the Feb. 12 Super Bowl. Netflix and GM called the agreement "part of a commitment to a more sustainable future." Financial terms were not disclosed. Netflix said it will help creators "better understand how EVs can complement and enhance their stories." Shows that will feature GM's electric vehicles include "Love is Blind," "Queer Eye" and "Unstable." Netflix productions also will include electric vehicles made by other automakers, the company said.

2014 Chevrolet C7 Corvette wastes no time zooming into Jay Leno's Garage
Thu, 24 Jan 2013Where else would you expect the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray to show up first? Although this time it isn't exactly in Jay Leno's Garage, Leno instead playing an away game at Brown's Classic Auto in Scottsdale, Arizona. Nor does Leno drive the car, instead taking an 11-minute walkaround of the new American sports car with General Motors design head Ed Welburn, the same man who recently brought by a string of classic Corvettes to the talk show host's California compound.
It is, admittedly, a love-fest for the American sports car now featuring 450 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque, but one that also features admissions about previous Corvette seats like "they were kinda rough," and the explanation that labeling the coupe "Stingray" means not having to call it "the base Corvette." On top of that, Welburn also explains the proper application of the term "dashboard." You can watch it all in the video below.
