This auction is for a 1988 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS, Vin# 1G1GZ11G6JP101325. The 1988 year was the last year Chevrolet made this style Monte Carlo SS and it was only made for 3 months. This one has 59052 original miles on it and has never been wrecked or raced. He is the original owner, the vehicle was purchased and used in South Florida only so it has never seen the road salt of northern states. It runs/drives great and is mostly original and unmolested though the hood has been replaced with another original O.E.M. GM Monte Carlo hood due to the rust which was completely through the original hood. Also the shocks, springs, brakes and radiator have all been replaced. As you can see from the pictures the vehicles needs restoration. The roof and trunk have rust and in some spots there are holes from the rust. You can see some in the pictures, spots covered in a silver tape have holes and in other areas you can see the rust eaten through by the trunk. Walking around the car myself I made a few observations which I feel should be mentioned. -front passenger side turn signal glass is broken -hood springs are shot and will not hold up the hood -The headliner needs to be replaced -Several small dings and dents in the body -tires have cracks (dry rot) -a lot of the rubber on the car had dry rot Again, as stated before the car needs restoration but it does run and drive well. The vehicle is being sold AS-IS with no warranty. If you would like to see any additional pictures I would be happy to take pictures of whatever you would like to see. Please ask all questions prior to bidding!! Winner of the auction is responsible 100% for shipping of the vehicle. It is not currently insured or registered so it cannot be driven anywhere to be dropped off for shipping so you will need to send a flat bed to pick it up. |

Tarantino's stolen Chevy Malibu from Pulp Fiction recovered after 19 years [w/video]
Mon, 29 Apr 2013Quentin Tarantino fans will likely remember Vincent Vega's cherry 1964 Chevrolet Malibu Convertible in Pulp Fiction. In a movie drenched in automotive references, the Malibu is very nearly a character in and of itself, and it serves as the subject of Vega's soliloquy about the kind of man who vandalizes another's automobile. It also happened to be Tarantino's personal car when the film was shot, and was apparently stolen shortly after production wrapped. Now police have located the car some 19 years later.
As it turns out, the thieves cloned the vehicle identification number from another '64 Malibu and had the car registered under the new digits. It was then sold to an unsuspecting buyer. Police happened upon the duplicate VINs while investigating another potential theft. Right now, it's unclear whether Tarantino has taken possession of the Chevrolet, if it has remained in the possession of the fraud victim, or whether it's caught somewhere in the gears of justice. Either way, you can catch Vega's memorable thoughts on the car keying in the Pulp Fiction clip below. But consider yourself warned: the video contains explicit language as Not Safe For Work as it comes.
Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too
Fri, 07 Dec 2012We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.
Chevrolet SS previewed by Holden VF Commodore SS V show car
Thu, 14 Feb 2013It won't be long before we see the official, production-ready Chevrolet SS sedan (hint: it will be revealed this weekend). And to tide us over until all of the official details are released about the US-spec version, we have this: the Holden VF Commodore SS V show car, a performance-oriented brother to the Calais V that debuted earlier in the week.
What we really want to know about the SS V is what lies underhood, but General Motors' Australian arm is keeping that under wraps until the Chevy model breaks cover this weekend. Nevertheless, it's obvious that the SS V will be a serious performer, with all sorts of aggressive cues driving that home on the car's exterior. Take a look at those 20-inch billet aluminum wheels that hide big Brembo brake calipers up front, the sculpted hood and front fascia, the wide air intakes with LED running lights and the quad exhaust pipes out back. It's like the Pontiac G8 GXP never even left us.
Inside, there's a sporty-looking interior with aluminum accents that mix in with black leather and suede surfaces, all tied together in the middle with an eight-inch MyLink touchscreen infotainment system. It looks great, and again, while we don't know anything regarding powertrain details, it makes us oh-so happy to see a manual shifter smack dab in the middle of the center console.
