Number of Cylinders: 8

1982 Monte Carlo purchased on eBay in 2010 from North Carolina owner. Previous owner drag raced the car; installed rebuilt (bored over) Chevy 350 motor and TH350 trans, air bags on rear suspension, removed vinyl from top, painted car Burple (blue/purple candy). Car has less than 2,000 miles on rebuilt engine. Original car mileage unknown (suspected 110,000 or so).
Since purchasing the car I have made numerous improvements including Corbeau Wide Sport seat (driver) and Summit Racing seat (passenger), AutoMeter gauges, new carpet, CD player, speakers, amplifier. Spectre Cold Air Intake system, Hurst lock-out Hammer shifter, new exhaust, radiator and hoses, front shocks, 20 inch chrome wheels, Harwood fiberglass hood (still black).
Car runs and drives fantastic. Needs new carburater installed (new Holley 4-barrel carb included with car), transmission has slow leak but functions completely; needs interior work to complete transition from maroon to black. Car has no catalytic converter so will NOT pass emissions (check your state for whether 1982 cars require emissions tests; IL does not). Burple paint is not in good shape; needs cut and buff or refinishing. Looks good from a distance but not close up.
This car is my dream project, but a recent job change requires me to get something more practical for city driving.
Complete list of improvements available by request.

Chevy gets cracking on Cruze EV fleet testing
Tue, 21 Sep 2010Chevrolet Cruze EV - Click above for high-res image gallery
The Chevrolet Volt hasn't yet gone on sale, but General Motors is looking at ways of expanding its electric vehicle lineup. Chevy, along with partner LG, is employing a group of all-electric cars in the form of the Cruze. The sedans are part of a demonstration fleet which is located in Seoul, South Korea and is being used to provide data in an electric vehicle research project. The goal is to gather information on driving patterns and charging behavior in addition to consumer acceptance.
The Cruze EVs, along with some Daewoo Lacetti Premieres EVs, are the first fleet of full-size electric vehicles and should provide invaluable information for The General. Staying full-size means not sacrificing cargo space, so the battery pack is mounted to the underbody, leaving the trunk area open for plenty recyclable, canvas grocery bags.
GM recalls select Chevy Cruze, Sonic and Buick Verano models over airbag issue
Wed, 14 Nov 2012General Motors is recalling certain 2012 Buick Verano, Chevrolet Cruze and Sonic models due to a defect in the driver's airbag system. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the airbag has a shorting bar which may contact two internal terminals. If that happens during a crash, the supplemental restraint may not deploy, increasing the risk of driver injury. The recall includes a total of 2,949 units.
GM will contact owners and replace the steering wheel airbag coil at no cost. At this point, it's unclear when the recall will begin, though owners may contact the automaker at 1-800-521-7300 for more information. You may also take a closer look at the full NHTSA notice below.
2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible is a Swiss hit
Mon, 04 Mar 2013We've just received an early peek at the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible here at the Geneva Motor Show. General Motors was kind enough to let us attend the final dress-rehearsal for its press conference scheduled for tomorrow's opening media day, and we've come away with a good look at the droptop C7 in person.
In the metal, the new Corvette Convertible seems somehow less avant-garde than the Coupe, even in Z51 Performance Package guise. That's not necessarily a bad thing - more of an observation. That initial impression may be because the C7's new greenhouse is one of its most prominent departures from Corvettes past. While we didn't get to see the top erected, there's no rear side window in the stock images that Chevy has already released, suggesting the C7 convertible's profile will look a lot like its C6 predecessor. And with the new power tonneau cover in place, there are also no rear ducts that come as part of the Z51 package (they've been moved under the car).
As with its predecessor, the tonneau is a handsome double-bubble piece, and the body-color "waterfall" element into the cabin between the seats has made it to the new model as well. Thus, the overall look with the top down should be a bit more familiar to prior-gen C6 owners - if you're one of those put off by the C7's new shape, you'll probably appreciate the convertible bodystyle more than the coupe.
