Rohnert Park, California, United States

Up for auction is a nice, original 1973 Chevy Monte Carlo, 2 door coupe, with the landau vinyl top. The car is a nice, original, California driver car. It is not a show car, but a very clean, original car. The body is very straight, and only has 2 tiny spots of rust on the entire car (shown in pictures) The Monte has a replacement GM 350 crate motor, with a Edelbrock built Quadrajet carb, Pro comp distributor, ignition box, and coil. It has single chamber flowmasters, and new dual exhaust. The interior is all original black, with a bench seat and a rally dash (tach and gauges) it has a tilt wheel, and the factory 8 track radio! It is and original air conditioning car, but the compressor seized up, so it was removed. The heater core has been bypassed because the core was leaking.

 Everything except the heater/ac works on the car: wipers, all lights, all gauges, etc etc. The car has black Chevy ralley wheels 15x7 in front and 15x8 in the rear, with brand new raised white letter tires. The car has the factory front disc brakes, and drum rears. It is a blue plate car, and also comes with the original GM keys. It has the original white paint, that is in pretty good condition for its age. It has a couple of spots that have been touched up with spray paint. All of the factory moldings have been removed, but the original mounting pegs are all there. The trunk has been recoated with zolotone, and does not have any rust.

 The car runs and drives great, no issues at all, the exhaust has a nice muscle car tone, the trans goes right in gear, the brakes work great.

 If you are looking for a pre smog muscle car, without the big pricetag of a Camaro, Chevelle, Nova, etc, this might be a great option. This is a real nice, driver quality car, that could be brought to the next level, if someone wanted to.

 

 Thanks for looking, and please check my feedback. If there is any questions, please email me. Mike

Corvette Stolen In Detroit Returned To Owner After 33 Years

Wed, Jun 25 2014

A Detroit man had his stolen Corvette returned 33 years after it disappeared while parked on one of Detroit's main drags, according to ABC 7. The last time George Talley saw his 1979 Corvette was on a July day in 1981, when it disappeared from its parking spot on Jefferson Avenue in Detroit. He had given up hope of ever seeing his car again, until a phone call from AAA brought his sporty ride home. Authorities had come across a Corvette with a questionable VIN in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. When they ran the number Talley's stolen car report came up. The car is still in pretty good shape and only has 47,000 miles on the odometer. Talley wasn't sure how he could get the car back home, but General Motors stepped in and agreed to cover the cost of bringing the 'Vette home. Talley has always had a passion for Detroit-made muscle cars. "I've always liked Corvettes. It was attractive. The ladies like 'em," Talley told ABC 7.

Autoblog fan favorite car ads from Super Bowl XLIX

Mon, Feb 2 2015

Super Bowl XLIX is in the books, and the New England Patriots emerged victorious. Of course, if you're like us, the big game wasn't so much about the battle between the east coast and west, so much as a fight between the world's automotive advertisers. We collected and collated all of last night's new ads and put them together for you to vote on. And yes, we're limiting this year's contest to last night's new features. That's why you aren't seeing Dodge's epic Wisdom among our collection of commercials, and it's a similar story with Chevrolet's Truck Guy Focus Group series, which highlights the new Colorado. You can still vote for your favorites. We won't be closing the voting on our Super Bowl page, so while the winners and losers are correct as of this writing, it's entirely possible that there could be some changes in the rankings as time goes on. So, without any further ado, here are the winning ads based on your voting. Nissan: With Dad Fiat: Ready For Action Jeep: Beautiful Lands BMW: Newfangled Idea Mercedes-Benz: Fable NASCAR: America Start Your Engines As for those ads that failed to impact you, loyal readers, Toyota was the absolute, undisputed loser. The Japanese brand ran four ads in total – two for Toyota and two for Lexus – and all of them have negative tallies as of this writing. Lexus' Make Some Noise and Lets Play and Toyota's One Bold Choice and My Bold Dad both had very weak showings among the commercials that aired, although they weren't alone. Neither Mazda nor Kia scored particularly well, despite featuring celebrity magic act Penn and Teller and former James Bond, Pierce Brosnan, respectively. Chevrolet was the winner of the losers, as of our writing, recording the fewest downvotes for its audience-punking The Big Game ad. If you want to take a second look at the losing ads, you can head back to our Super Bowl page for the complete collection. But for now, head into Comments and let us know what you think of the results.

Chevy Corvette Stingray picks up another award, this time from Automobile

Mon, 18 Nov 2013

The new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray has picked up another buff book accolade after capturing Road and Track's Performance Car of the Year award. The seventh-generation of America's sports car (sorry Viper, Mustang, et al.) has been named Automobile Magazine's Automobile of the Year.
Automobile's award to the Corvette over competitors is the mirror image of its rival Motor Trend, which named the Cadillac CTS its car of the year over the C7. The CTS was, according to the Automobile team, the closest contender to the mighty Stingray. Great news all around for General Motors it seems.
As for what pushed the Corvette past its distant, four-door cousin, Automobile commended its excellent, 6.2-liter V8 calling the car's performance "simply awesome" while also remarking that it is easier to drive fast than ever before thanks to steering and chassis tweaks. Following a theme set by other publications, there were also plaudits for the interior, of all things, with the buff book complimenting the car's ergonomics and material quality, while also praising the standard seats.
