Up for sale is a TRUE 1970 Monte Carlo SS. It had spent all of its life in Las Vegas up until about 6 months ago. The car is LAZER straight with the exception of 2 quarter size dings on the rear quarter panels; 1 on either side (paint is cracked a bit). This was caused during shipping as the original manifold was left unsecured in the trunk area. As for rust.... well, there is ZERO!!!! The underneath is extremely clean!!!! The paint is victory red and is nice looking. Definitely drivers quality but not a show stopper!!! There are occasional scratches here and there but nothing obvious by any means. The interior I would rate a 6 out of 10. Everything is nicely in tact but being 44 years old it could stand to be freshened up. The interior consists of bucket seats, power windows, power driver seat, "airplane shifter," and also the rare option, back then, of a map light in the rear view mirror. There are ZERO cracks in the dash. The interior was left original other than a floor tach and 2 pods on the 'a pillar' which show oil pressure and water temperature. An alpine sound system has been added to the glove compartment along with 2 front and 2 rear alpine speakers. 
Motor: 454  big block - original block punched out to a 468 along with a weiland supercharger. The rear main seal does leak a bit, as do all big blocks. Valve cover gaskets replaced along with full MSD tune-up.
Transmission: Turbo 400 3 speed with a 2800 stall - A nice cruiser on the highway doing 55-60mph. The oil pan gasket could stand to be replaced as it leaks a bit. 
12 bolt posi rear end with 373 gears.
Be cool radiator with 2 electric fans - original fan shroud comes with vehicle.
All lights work; all bulbs replaced.
Power steering and power front disk brakes.
Tilt steering.
Horn and wipers do not operate - perhaps a fuse issue.
Cowl fiberglass hood. 
2 1/2 exhaust from collectors back - you can hear this vehicle a mile away - It is VERY VERY loud!!
This is my 4th 1st generation Monte. It took me over a year to find it. Fortunately for my family and I, a business opportunity has come our way that we cannot pass by. Unfortunately, here I am listing my car but anyone looking for this SS is someone who has love for these cars and I'm sure will go to a great home!!!
I have a right to end the auction at any time as the vehicle is listed here locally in Chicago,IL.
Upon full paypal payment, allow 7-10 business days to arrange shipping.
I have a car note on it and I would need that time to receive the title from the bank.
Vehicle is to be purchased by its new owner as is. There is no guarantee or warranty on the vehicle. 
All information I provided above shows the vehicle details along with all its faults. 
Thank you kindly, in advance.
HAPPY  BIDDING!!!
Pictures were taken professionally by Chicago Auto Center in Bensenville, IL where I originally purchased the vehicle. I figured they would do the car true justice vs the camera on my iPhone.

MotorWeek looks back at 1995 Chevy Tahoe, GMC Yukon

Sat, Jun 20 2015

MotorWeek's Retro Review series gives us a nostalgic look back at some of the best sports cars and luxury sedans available in the 1980s and '90s. For its latest clip, the show shifts gears to remember the 1995 Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon. Similar to the success of crossovers today, SUVs were tallying big sales and making big money for automakers in the mid-'90s. The Tahoe and Yukon filled slots in the market as steps down from the larger Suburban. These twins weren't wanting for space, though, with plenty of room to haul around a family. MotorWeek came away generally impressed too, and called the models some "of the better riding sport utilities we've ever experienced." This review comes with some jazzy, electric guitar licks to enjoy in the background.

2022 GMC Sierra Denali Ultimate vs. 2022 Ram 1500 Limited Longhorn vs. Ford F-150 Limited | Luxury truck interior face-off

Fri, Oct 22 2021

GMC's new uber-expensive 2022 Sierra Denali Ultimate is the latest luxury truck to nudge toward six-figure territory. With demand for upmarket half-tons surging, GMC's otherwise-solid pickup found itself in desperate need of an interior remodel. For 2022, we're getting just that, and it appears ready to take the fight to the segment's best, including the 2022 Ram 1500 Limited and 2022 Ford F-150 Limited. Here's the new Denali Ultimate interior in all of its full-grain, open-pore glory. 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali Ultimate vs. 2021 GMC Denali  Not only did the material quality and styling both improve greatly, but the new truck also gets a completely different shifter setup (truck buyers don't like column shifters anymore, apparently). It would actually be difficult to overstate the quality of the upgrade here; the photos really speak for themselves. It's also worth noting that in addition to looking significantly more upscale than the model it's succeeding, the new Denali interior also differs a bit more from its Chevy counterpart than its predecessor did. Here's the new Silverado High Country for reference: While some elements do carry over, the entire dash design is different, down to the positioning of the heating and cooling vents. While the main HVAC controls are essentially carried over, note that they're pretty much the only ones. Even the horizontal bar of switches running along the center stack is positioned differently between the two. Yep. This is a pretty big upgrade over the 2021 cabin, and clearly the range-topper in GM's truck hierarchy. But what of the competition? 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali Ultimate vs. 2022 Ram Limited Longhorn Southfork This one's tough. We're going to have to spend time in them back to back, but the Ram Limited, with its various anniversary editions and other special permutations, is certainly the interior to beat. To our eyes, the Sierra's more horizontal layout is a bit more modern and perhaps luxurious-looking than the more upright cabin treatment of the Ram, but it's tough to say for certain from photos. Both the Denali Ultimate and Ram Limited carry their upscale feel into their back benches too, which is something we can't say quite as confidently about our next contestant.  2022 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali Ultimate vs. 2021 Ford F-150 Limited The Ford F-150 Limited holds its own, but it's probably the least photogenic of the models we've looked at here, at least apart from the outgoing Denali.

Looking back on our favorite cars of Mad Men

Tue, Apr 7 2015

The second half of the seventh and final season of Mad Men debuted this week, set to cap a run of public and critical acclaim. A decade's worth of interesting cars also made for good television, if you were paying attention. Vehicles didn't often steal the spotlight from Don, Betty, Roger, Joan and the gang, but they added meaningfully to the tone and beauty of the series. We sorted through the wheeled extras from Mad Men's archives, and choose some of our favorites to highlight. The list consists of cars that had at least a small impact on the plot of an episode, though certainly there are worthy gems hiding in just about every street and driving scene. Check out our subjective top five, and then let us know which of the Mad Men cars would be on your list. 1962 Cadillac Coupe DeVille – Season 2 Don Draper's Cadillac Coupe DeVille, all 500 feet of it, shows up in a few seasons of the show, but it's the first appearance that sets the tone. A Cadillac salesman, cut from the same cloth as Draper, asks what Don drives right now. "A Dodge," Don admits. "Those are wonderful if you want to get somewhere," allows the salesman, "this is for when you've already arrived." For a man on the move up corporate and social ladders that's a powerful message, and a pitch-perfect car. 1961 Lincoln Continental – Season 3 The most stylish Lincoln Continental ever is perfect set dressing for the mod show, of course. Though it's interesting that the car isn't cast as dapper Draper's ride, but rather his father-in-law's. Grandpa Gene does what all great grandfathers are bound to: lets his granddaughter Sally drive the big Lincoln while he works the pedals. Generational bond secured, in fine fashion. When you go back through the first three seasons of the show, you'll notice that Continentals show up more than once, too. There's nothing quite like them to evoke the best of the early '60s. 1963 John Deere 110 – Season 3 The only non-standard passenger vehicle on the list, no self-respecting gearhead/Mad Men fan should quibble with the inclusion of the John Deere 110 riding mower. For starters, the Deere is lovely to look at; a miniature version of the American Heartland icon in its green and yellow duds. The 110 appears as if milled from a solid block of steel, just the opposite of today's sleek, plasticky lawn minders (we're scouring Craigslist for one to bring home). The John Deere also has dear ramifications to the plot, too.
