Very Original
 
I've owned this beauty myself since 1998. She is a 350 cid bench seat automatic car with a GM 12 bolt rear. She recently underwent a meticulous restoration of the body. The entire nose was removed and everything from the fire wall forward was cleaned, painted, and detailed. All rust was cut out and replaced with brand new steel. The panels were then stripped to bare metal and straightened with hammer and dolly. All gaps were reset to closer than factory to get a tight look. The body was then sealed in epoxy and 3 coats of build primer were laid down with full board sanding in between. She was then sprayed in 1971 GM Lime Green followed by 3 coats of high gloss clear. All lines on this car are laser straight. A new vinyl top was installed and all bright work was straightened and buffed to a high luster. The car does have one pea-sized rust bubble at the bottom of the door that just popped up this winter. I will include about a pint of paint left from the paint job for your tech to use to touch this small spot up. The trunk is solid and has never seen any rust. Trunk light even works!
 
The Original 350 small block engine has been warmed with a mild cam, aluminum intake manifold, Dynomax headers, and runs very well. The original intake and air cleaner lid come with the car. A Turbo Hydormatic 350 transmission handles the torque from the Chevy power plant and sends it to the 2:73 geared 12 bolt rear end. All U-joints have been replaced and rear has been inspected and serviced. All wheel bearings have been serviced or replaced. This car is a great cruiser, decent on gas, and a highway screamer. All drive train components are unmolested and matched to the car.
 
95% of the brake system has been rebuilt. New lines, new master cylinder, and rebuilt calipers and rear drums. Brake pads are fresh all around.
 
This Monte still retains all of her original options including the AM/FM 8 track player, rear window defogger, rear view mirror map light, tilt steering, factory tinted glass, air conditioning and full size rally rim spare and jack set. Currently the 8 track player, map light, and rear defrost are not functioning but all of the parts are there for a rebuild if desired. The AC is unchanged from original and will need at the least a professional inspection and charge to function properly. The build sheet indicates that this car was built in December 1971 in Baltimore MD as a 4 barrel dual exhaust rally rim car. It does not look like she has ever been in an accident and has not been driven in weather in at least 20 years. Most parts are original to the car.
 
The frame and under carriage of the vehicle are both solid and in good shape with minimal surface rust. The original undercoating is flaking off in spots. All suspension and steering equipment are in good driving shape. Rear shocks and springs are brand new.
 
Electrical is in good original shape. All body lights function as they should. There are a few blown bulbs in the dash cluster, but all other interior lights work. Alternator was replaced two years ago.
 
The only drivability issue would be that the gear shift indicator on the steering column is not working so you need to count as you pull the shift lever to tell where D and R are. From what I have read this is fixable but I do not have the desire to pull apart the steering column to get to the broken piece.
 
While the body, drive train, and under carriage are all in great shape, this Monte could certainly benefit from an interior kit. The headliner is newer but the seats and carpet are showing their age. The dash is perfect and door cards are very good.
 
All factory tinted glass is in very good shape.
 
The BF Goodrich Radial TA ties still have plenty of tread life left and show no visible signs of dry rot. However the tires are slightly flat spotted from years of winter storage resulting in a slightly shaky ride at highway speeds. This tends to disappear for the most part when driving the car regularly, I just have not had the time this year to work out the spots. Tires are a personal preference so I will leave it to the new owner to decide what to put on rather than replace them myself.  
 
I have one of the original build sheets from the factory in rough but readable condition. I believe there to be another above the gas tank though I have not dropped the tank to check. I also have a documented history of the vehicle back to the mid-70s. This includes all work and replacement parts bought in that time and all bills of sale back to the original owner.
 
I pride myself on maintaining a %100 percent seller rating, so I will do my best to work with you on this vehicle. Please feel free to contact me with any questions.

Terms & Conditions
 1.When an auction is won (buy it now as well), a $200.00 USD deposit through PayPal is due within 24 hours of the auction ending. This deposit secures the vehicle for you, and is a NON REFUNDABLE, GOOD FAITH DEPOSIT. This assures us that you are a serious buyer and are not just drunk on a Saturday night or your child has accidently bought the vehicle. This is a business we are running and we are trying to help you save money, so help us by cooperating with our terms and conditions. Of course If you get here to pick the vehicle up and it is nothing like we've described or completely different than the pictures you may be eligible to get your deposit back, but this is solely at the discretion of the SELLER, this does not mean that if you see a scratch on the truck that our camera did not pick up that you are getting your money back, you have to understand that a camera is not going to pick every minor blemish on a vehicle, but at the same time you cannot go into Walmart and ask for a camera that takes horrible pictures, they don't make those, but if for the most part I try to put everything in the pictures and if you call us we will walk around the vehicle and tell you everything we see. With all this being said, I do take pictures of all exterior panels (fenders, hoods, tailgate, etc.), all glass (windows, mirrors, windshield, etc.), underneath the vehicle (to show rust or if anything is missing), Under the hood (to show motor size and if anything is missing), and The interior (Carpet/flooring, headliner, dash, seats, gauges to show if any warning lights may be on, etc.) and I do this because I do not want anything to be a surprise when you get here. I don't like people wasting my time, so I don't want to waste anybody else’s time by misrepresenting a vehicle. So we're clear on payments: 1. Deposit of $200.00 USD is due within 24 hours of auction end. 2. Full Payment of the vehicle is due within 7 days of auction end (5 business days) in UNITED STATES CURRENCY (USD) VIA Paypal, or Cash (in person), please message me if you have any questions regarding payment methods. If you cannot comply with these stipulations, your transaction may become void solely at the discretion of the seller.
 
Title
This is a Clean MA title. I will sign it over as soon as payment is made in full.
Look at my feedback, I am an honest seller, and I don’t want people to waste my time so I will not waste yours.

Next-gen Chevy Cruze caught cruising in the cold

Wed, 13 Feb 2013

Spy photographers have caught what looks like the next-generation Chevrolet Cruze out on snow patrol. The camo could be tricking our eyes, but it look like it has an even tidier, more rounded front end and even lower fenders in relation to the top of the hood. And either a chunk of camo has been wedged between the side mirrors and the doors, or the mirrors are up for revision, too.
The door handles have been moved up the side of the car, leading the way to a rear end that grows a bit in length. If the rumors are true, the coming second-generation Cruze sits on the new D2XX platform that will replace the Delta and Theta platforms at General Motors. A global architecture, the Cruze will be the first to get it, but it will underpin everything from next Chevrolet Volt to the Equinox and could be responsible for 2.5 million units by 2018. The next Cruze is expected to begin production in GM's Lordstown, Ohio plant in the third quarter of 2014.

As promised, Chevrolet and GMC are offering a live webcast of the world premiere for the all-new 2014 Silverado 1500 and Sierra 1500. After being teased with spy shots and blurry images like the one above for ages, now is the time to see the trucks in the metal, for real (well, as 'real' as it gets on a webcast, at any rate).
Shift your eyes down just below to see the reveal as it happens, starting at 9:30 AM EST. We anticipate having loads of images full technical information to share after the webcast, too, so truck aficionados should stay tuned. We'll also be bringing you live images of both trucks too, when we see them on the show floor at next month's Detroit Auto Show.

Pushing Back: GM expanding Chevrolet into Korea, Daewoo out

Thu, 29 Apr 2010

Chevrolet Camaro goes to South Korea - Click above for high-res image
General Motors decided several years ago to begin heavily promoting Chevrolet as its global mainstream brand even in markets where its existing brands like Opel and Daewoo were a dominant force. Today, at the Busan Motor Show in South Korea, GM Daewoo president Mike Arcamone announced that the Camaro would lead the way in GM's efforts to market Chevrolet in South Korea.
For now at least Chevrolet and Daewoo-branded vehicles will coexist in the Korean market. However, while we were in China last week GM officials told us that the Daewoo brand, which has been somewhat tainted by past quality issues, would eventually be phased out in favor of Chevrolet. When the new Aveo launches next year it will likely be badged as a Chevrolet even though GM Daewoo is in charge of engineering the car.
