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.

2016 Technology of the Year Finalist: 2016 Chevy Volt

Tue, Jan 5 2016

The 2016 Chevy Volt is in all ways an improvement over the Volts that came before. It's got a new powertrain, a new look, and new (and better) fuel economy figures. What's not to like? For the second generation, GM used the last few years of automotive battery improvements and customer data to deliver a car that took what people liked about the first Volt and offered up more of that. This means a longer all-electric range (from 38 miles to 53) and better gas-burning fuel economy (37 miles per gallon up to 42 mpg – oh, and you're not required to use premium any more, either). All of this for less money than the outgoing 2015 Volts. Chevy's new plug-in hybrid will start at $33,995, which is not only lower than the 2015's MSRP of $34,170 but it's also just a few hundred dollars higher than the average new car price in the US. In other words, the new Volt (and many other plug-in vehicles) is not out of the price range for most car shoppers. The interior has been updated as well, losing some of the oh-so-futuristic touch-sensitive center stack in favor of more realistic tactile buttons. This along makes the new Volt better than the first generation, but when it's wrapped up in the new exterior design, it just feels more appropriate for a car that's not trying to be from the future. Instead, the new 2016 Chevy Volt wants to be the best plug-in car for right now.

Chevy bringing updated Equinox to Chicago

Fri, Feb 6 2015

An updated Chevy Equinox will be revealed at next week's Chicago Auto Show, the automaker confirmed Friday in a press release. The debut of the updated, 2016 Equinox comes on the heels of the midsize crossover – pictured above in its current, 2015-model-year form – posting its best January sales month ever. No details have been released, but Chevy did send out the teaser image you see at right, showing an updated front fascia with new headlamps and LED running lights. This update for the Equinox can't come soon enough. The midsize crossover segment is huge right now, and Chevy's player has largely been unchanged since the second-generation Equinox debuted in 2009. When asked about when we might see a tweaked version of the GMC Terrain – the Equinox's sibling – a General Motors spokesperson could not confirm any specific timing. In any case, we'll bring you all the official details of the new Equinox when it shows its updated face, next week.
