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.

Who sold the most heavy-duty pickups in 2012? PickupTrucks.com investigates
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Domestic manufacturers enjoyed a good year for heavy-duty pickup sales in 2012. PickupTrucks.com has taken a close look at exactly how those sales broke down between each manufacturer and between three-quarter and one-ton pickups. Ford sold some 67,786 F-250 Super Duty models last year with the Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD falling just behind at 56,359 units. The Ram 2500 HD came in third at 41,918, while the GMC Sierra 2500 HD earned itself fourth place with 27,616 deliveries. While Ford held onto the top spot in the one-ton market, Ram easily nailed down second place by selling more 3500 HD models last year than General Motors sold Silverado 3500 HD and Sierra 3500 HD trucks combined.
So, did GM manage to sell more trucks than Ford with its two brands? Very nearly. Ford sold a total of 119,338 heavy-duty pickups to GM's 111,555. Ram, meanwhile, moved a distant 77,583. But perhaps more interesting is the diesel take rate in this segment. PickupTrucks.com says 80 percent of all domestic one-ton trucks roll from the dealer lot with a turbo-diesel under the hood. Head over to the site for a closer look at the breakdown.
GM to restore legendary Corvette damaged in sinkhole accident
Fri, Dec 5 2014Car lover's hearts' sank when they saw images of bent and destroyed classic Corvettes at the bottom of a sinkhole last February after the floor of the National Corvette Museum gave way. General Motors announced Wednesday it would restore the one millionth Corvette ever produced to its former glory. The 1992 convertible was heavily damaged when a 40-foot deep sinkhole opened beneath a bevy of rare cars at the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Since then, GM has been slowly restoring the classic cars, though five of the eight that caught in the sinkhole were determined to be too damaged to repair. This November, the 2009 Corvette ZR1 Blue Devil was the first car to be returned in mint condition to the Museum, according to Autoblog. It suffered significant damage but was still drivable after being pulled out of the debris. The one millionth Corvette is still in bad shape. The automaker is estimating six months worth of work to restore the car, which sustained paint scratches, rear-suspension damage and a mangled front fender.

GM cutting vehicle trim options to save money for electrification
Sun, Mar 1 2020Information continues to filter out about GM's plans based on comments the automaker made during its Capital Markets Day event in February. GM President Mark Reuss said the company's push to save money by rationalizing the number of build combinations will continue in 2020, carrying on the work done in 2019. As GM Authority covers, last year, the carmaker cut 3,500 components across model lines, a 12% drop in the number of parts it needed to stock in its plants. Reuss used the next-generation Chevolet Equinox and GMC Terrain as examples for more cost efficiencies, saying build possibilities — which include international markets and their options — will be cut by more than 50%, and use more shared parts. "We will reduce total trim levels on Equinox and Terrain from eight to six," Reuss said, "reduce engine variants from 11 to 5, reduce build combinations from more than 200 to less than 100 per program, and see significant cost savings of an already paid-for architecture that took the mass out, helping us self-fund electrification programs." GM will plow a large amount of the money it saves into its ambitious EV program. In 2017, the automaker said it intends to have 20 electric vehicles on the market by the end of 2023, some of which could be shared between brands. An automotive analyst at Seeking Alpha and a piece in Automobile attempted to put specifics to what we should expect. As Automobile points out, the first two EVs in the 20-car program are already on sale, being the Ariv Meld and Ariv Merge eBikes available in Belgium and The Netherlands. We've seen the Cruise Origin autonomous rideshare taxi, although we don't know when it will hit the road. The next three, which we should see in the metal shortly, are two Cadillac EVs and the GMC Hummer EV pickup. The Cadillac pair are expected to be sized like the XT4 and XT5, and along with the Hummer, should hit the market starting in late 2021.
