Early Triple Black 1970 LS3 Big Block Monte Carlo

Just in time for summer cruising with only 60+ miles on a two year intensive frame on restoration.

1970 was the first year for the Monte Carlo, only a little over 7,000 Montes built in 1970 came with the 402 CID LS3 Turbo Jet big block 330 hp motor.

Factory options include: Power steering, power front disc rear drum brakes, tilt wheel, AM-FM Stereo, full gauge dash and very cold A/C.

The car also has a Halo vinyl top. The halo vinyl top stops short of the top of the windshield, only the early to mid 1970 Montes had this. It was changed midyear so the top comes all the way to the windshield.

The motor has been completely rebuilt and some mild power upgrades have also been added. It's also been detailed out very nicely.

Power is fed through the original Turbo Hydromatic 400 automatic transmission to a factory original 12 bolt Positraction 3.31:1 rear differential.

The body is rust free and laser straight, it was completely stripped to bare metal. The passenger rear quarter was replaced due to a very poorly done past repair. After weeks of massaging the body to assure it was perfectly straight, new black basecoat/clearcoat paint was applied. It is just absolutely stunning.

The gaps are perfect all the way around and the doors open and close perfectly.

All the stainless trim was straightened and days were spent highly polishing them to a mirror finish. New lower rocker molding, lower body moldings and wheel opening trim were installed. In addition new door handles, new rear bumper and all new weather strip.

New tinted windshield, door glass, back glass, drivers quarter glass, window felts and rubber seals.

The factory A/C has been completely rebuilt and blows very cold air. New compressor, hoses, dryer, condenser and expansion valve. The POA valve was also calibrated for use with R134. Also under hood is a new wiper/washer motor, washer fluid bottle, battery and new inner fenders.

Five new 15x8 rally wheels, beauty rings and center caps with Goodyear tires. Factory bumper jack properly mounted in the restored trunk.

The interior was restored with new upholstery, and cushions on the front and rear seats. New front seat backs and trim. New carpet and sound deadener. New sill plates. New door panels, rear side panels, headliner, dome lamp and sail panels. New front and rear speakers and package tray. All the door handles, window cranks, rear view mirrors, hanger hooks, arm rest pads and lock knobs are new. New brake pedal pad and accelerator pedal.

The dash pad was restored, the dash was removed from the car, cleaned detailed and reinstalled. The dash has full gauges and even a working clock!

The front suspension and steering have been restored including a new drag link and shock absorbers along with a fresh alignment. Rear shock were also installed. All the bumper brackets were sandblasted and painted.

The grill is the original and has some flaws.

These cars have been called a bankers hot rod or a Chevelle with a tuxedo.

She starts every time and drives perfectly. She is very civilized and comfortable for cruising but will step up and be a brute when demanded! This car is just a whole lot of fun!

I strongly urge you to come inspect this beauty, you will not be disappointed. Contact me with any questions and I will respond as quickly as possible.

Tarantino's stolen Chevy Malibu from Pulp Fiction recovered after 19 years [w/video]

Mon, 29 Apr 2013

Quentin 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.

Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]

Tue, 05 Feb 2013

Consumer Reports has taken aim at at small-displacement, forced-induction engines, saying the powerplants don't manage to deliver on automaker fuel economy claims. Manufacturers have long held that smaller, turbocharged engines pack all power of their larger displacement cousins with significantly better fuel economy, but the research organization says that despite scoring high EPA economy numbers, the engines are no better than conventional drivetrains in both categories. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, says the forced induction options "are often slower and less fuel efficient than larger four and six-cylinder engines."
Specifically, CR calls out the new Ford Fusion equipped with the automaker's Ecoboost 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The institute's researchers found the engine, which is a $795 option over the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder, fails to match competitors in acceleration and served up 25 miles per gallon in testing, putting the sedan dead last among other midsize options.
The Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Sonata Turbo and Ford Escape 2.0T all got dinged for the same troubles, though Consumer Reports has found the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the BMW 328i does deliver on its promises. You can check out the full press release below. You can also read the full study on the Consumer Reports site, or scroll down for a short video recap.

GM looks to combat high theft rates on SUVs with added tech

Tue, 24 Dec 2013

The Cadillac Escalade has been at or near the top of most-stolen and insurance-loss lists for more than seven years, until it dropped to number six earlier this year. In 2011 it was fitted with a host of new security features to address its easy-to-override features and that has brought the number of thefts down, but when eight of the ten most stolen rides are large SUVs from General Motors, no one will argue that something else needs to be done.
Thus, GM has fitted this same theft-deterring tech to the 2015 Suburban, Tahoe and Yukon. The Suburban and Tahoe will get the steering lock that the Escalade and Yukon already get, plus bolted-down third-row seats to deter thefts like this, stronger door lock cylinders and shields, and side-cut keys to inhibit picking.
Additional security measures in a Theft Protection Package can be purchased for $395, consisting of sensors on the greenhouse glass and interior, an incline/tilt sensor and added "key control systems" to make it more difficult for the men in black balaclavas to steal what you bought.
