UP FOR SALE IS A UNIQUE 1978 CHEVROLET MONTE CARLO COUPE . THIS MONTE CARLO STARTED OUT LIKE MOST BUILDS AND THAT WAS TO SIMPLY CREATE A SIMPLE AND
CLEAN WEEKEND CRUISER UNTIL YOU START GOING TO CAR SHOWS AND READING MAGAZINES AND NOW YOUR INSTANTLY CAUGHT UP IN TURNING YOUR HOBBY INTO MORE OF A COMPETITION. SO I SOUGHT OUT FOR A DECENT CONDITION MONTE AS WERE HERE IN MICHIGAN SO RUST WAS #1 ON MY LIST SO I STUMBLED ACROSS A MONTE IN DECENT CONDITION W/O A DRIVETRAIN LOCATED OUT IN THE COUNTRY AREA. I PURCHASED THIS CAR TWO YEARS AFTER HIGH SCHOOL BACK IN 99' AND WAS AMAZED AT THE CONDITION OF THE BODY AS IT HAD NO HEAVY STRUCTURAL DAMAGE. SO THIS IS WHERE I MEET SOME GOOD CAR GUYS AND THE JOURNEY BEGINS. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE BODY SHOP AND HERE IT WAS PREPPED AND READY FOR PAINT AS I DECIDED TO GO FOR PPG FOR A BETTER QUALITY PAINT (SUNSET RED) ITS CALLED. AS YOU CAN SEE IT DOES FEATURE A 2" COWL HOOD FOR LOOKS. AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PICS ALL OF THE MOLDINGS, EMBLEMS, TRIM, WERE REPLACED WITH NOS (IF AVAILABLE) OR GOOD USED PARTS. NEXT THE INTERIOR WAS CREATED WITH A TWO TONE THEME WITH USING SWIVEL BUCKETS SEATS CUSTOM HEADLINER, AND A COLOR MATCH DASHBOARD TO COMPLETE THIS SETUP. THE DRIVETRAIN CONSISTS OF A SMALL BLOCK 35O BORED 30 OVER WITH A GOOD CRANE CAM EVERY THING IS BASICALLY STOCK INTERNALLY. AS YOU CAN SEE IN PICS I WANTED DETAIL IN THE COMPARTMENT FOR THE MOST PART CHROME ACCESSORIES WAS USED OR BILLET ON A FEW PARTS AS WELL. THE TRANS IS 350 TURBO WITH A SHIFT KIT AND A 2200 STALL CONVERTER MOTOR AND TRANS RUNS HARD GOOD IDLE, TRANS SHIFTS SMOOTH, GOOD COMPRESSION,( HAVE VIDEO ON REQUEST). NEXT I JUST PURCHASED A NEW SET OF 22"IROC'S WITH 255-30-22 TIRES NO MILES AND THEY WERE CUSTOM MATCH WITH SOME VINYL DECALS FOR LOOKS (PEEL RIGHT OFF IF NOT LIKED). THE UNDERCARRIAGE IS SOLID AND AS U CAN SEE I HAVE A CUSTOM 2.5 EXHAUST SYSTEM WITH 40 SERIES FLOWMASTER MUFFLERS THAT DROPS AT REAREND. STAINLESS STEEL GAS TANK, NEW SHOCKS ALL AROUND, SEALS, WEATHERSTRIPPING, AND ALL BRAKES GAS LINES ARE ALL NEW.

THIS CAR HAS BEEN APART OF ME FOR OVER A DECADE AND HAS BEEN WELL TAKEN CARE OF. ITS HARD TO FIND A CAR DONE AND ITS PERFECT WITHOUT PAYING A FORTUNE FOR IT.

2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra introduced
Are you the 2014 Corvette Grand Sport?
Thu, 21 Feb 2013When are stripes more than just stripes? Follow up question: Is the product development team at Chevrolet really cocky enough to hide the next C7 Corvette variant in plain sight? This very recently spotted, and ostensibly obscured C7 asks a lot more questions than it answers, but there's at least some evidence to support that it might be the next Corvette Grand Sport.
The first and most obvious tip-off that something is up with this 'Vette revolves around those silver stripes. Obviously the stripes themselves don't necessarily denote a new model. However, when Chevy recently launched its "colorizer" website for the Stingray, there was no provision made for racing stripes - solid colors only.
Grand Sport exhibit number two is actually an incriminating lack of badges. The production Corvettes we've seen to date have all carried Stingray badges on their fenders, just behind the vent. The car seen in these images has no such badges, which is an intriguing omission on an car that looks like a production-spec vehicle otherwise.
Chevy might've pulled out of NASCAR if it weren't for new Gen 6 car
Wed, 20 Feb 2013We've been on the fence with NASCAR for some time now. On one hand, it's some of the closest racing anywhere in motorsports, with actual passing and door-handle-to-door-handle action as a matter of course. But on the other, it's become template racing - a personality-driven sport more about the drivers than any sort of loyalty to a particular automaker. The Car Of Tomorrow format really rammed that message home, with a racecar's identity coming down to little more than headlamp stickers slapped on the nose. That's not necessarily a bad thing in and of itself, but we've wondered for some time what's in it for the automakers, who pay big money to stay in a series that has had little increasingly little do with street car sales, let alone innovation.
Apparently General Motors was beginning to wonder the same thing. In a new ESPN report, Rick Hendrick, team owner of Hendrick Motorsports, suggests that GM would have seriously considered leaving NASCAR if it wasn't for the move away from the COT to the new Gen 6 racer. According to Hendrick, GM North America boss Mark Reuss spearheaded the charge away from the 2007 COT and toward a racecar with clearer automaker ties - cars like the new Chevrolet SS racer shown above.

Now, if we could just get more rear-wheel drive V8 coupes into showrooms....
