1984 - Chevrolet Monte Carlo on 2040-cars
Shinglehouse, Pennsylvania, United States
1984 Chevy Monte Carlo SS – PRO STREET. This BEAST is a complete frame off custom build which has been 10+ years in the making. The owner has invested over 100K in parts alone, not including the 100’s of labor hours that he spent on the build himself. The meticulous detail that went into this build is what really sets it apart from other “PRO STREET” cars out there today. All the receipts and literature for the installed parts and accessories are available and will be passed onto the buyer. The interior was completely reupholstered floor to ceiling with beautiful blue fabric. Even the rear seat was custom cut and re-installed which is typically not seen on a tubbed car. It has a “Dakota” digital dash that looks like it belongs there from the factory. It gives you a clear view of MPH, RPM’s, fuel percentage, and water temperature. The Hurst shifter is surrounded by a hand-made chromed aluminum console and has a custom made dual switch shift handle for line lock and over drive. The steering wheel is made by “Banjo” and is removable which is a good anti-theft feature.

The exterior white paint is flawless and boasts beautiful hand painted decals that really accent nicely the theme of the car. This Monte rides on polished aluminum “Centerline” wheels wrapped in Micky Thompson rubber. It has front 12” and rear 13” disc brakes (with Emergency Brake) for superior stopping ability. This Monte truly rides like a Cadillac with its full front and rear “Hotchkis” suspension and “Strange” axles. Finally, to get into the good stuff. The car is powered by a 502 cubic inch big block crate engine. The heads were ported to match the polished aluminum “Stealth” intake manifold. It has a turbo 350 transmission built for 1000 HP. The transmission has “Gear Venders” for over and under drive to make it a full manual 6-speed. It has a bullet proof 9” rear with 4.11 gear ratio. Nascar radiator with twin fans. Hooker headers with a custom made full stainless steel 3” exhaust. Handmade stainless steel gas tank. Custom made carburetor intake which pulls extra air off the cowl. There’s a A/C idle solenoid to kick up RPM’s when the air conditioner is on. 120 AMP, 1 wire alternator. The battery shuts off with the key. Call, Text or Email Ryan Fallon - 267.228.8150 – Ryanfallon2@gmail.com There are so many custom parts on this Monte that it is nearly impossible to remember them all let alone list them all so I just mentioned a few. The engine dyno-ed out at 605 HP @ 6500 RPM. This car was built for show, not for racing however you could make a few modifications to make it track worthy (roll cage and parachute.) But that would really take from the cars integrity. This Monte Carlo is truly a “Hot Rod Family Car.” It has less than 150 miles on it since it was complete and it has never been raced. It has been entered into many local car shows where it has won award such as “best in show” and “best motor.” Polished aluminum and stainless steel. Almost every bolt under the hood that could be has a Chevy insignia bolt head. It runs on pump gas (93 octane) but will certainly take racing fuel. The car has been garage kept since the build began and has never seen the rain. A little about the owner/builder… This multiple award winning show stopper is owned by and was built by master mechanic Joe “Slim” Ulanowski. He has been building custom/race cars for well over 40 years and his garage Academy Automotive which is located in Northeast Philadelphia has been open since 1976. He has built and restored numerous award winning vehicles in his career. Slim and Academy Automotive are proud sponsors of the wounded warrior project in which “Slim” had his hand in the building of the Wounded Warrior Projects 1969 Chevy Camaro SS.

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. Learn more about the fight for a closer-to-production look in the ESPN story at the link.
Now, if we could just get more rear-wheel drive V8 coupes into showrooms....
Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards
Tue, 27 Nov 2012Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:
2015 Chevy Tahoe gets Police Patrol Vehicle treatment
Thu, 07 Nov 2013That was fast. Mere days after showing a Police Concept based on the 2015 Tahoe at the SEMA Show, Chevrolet has announced that it will build a PPV model based on the SUV to do battle with the Ford Police Interceptor Utility (Explorer) and Dodge Durango Special Service.
You'll recall that the Tahoe has been police staple for several years, predating both the Explorer and Durango police variants, so the fact that the new model would spawn a police variant is hardly surprising. Like the civilian model, the 2015 PPV benefits from a more efficient 5.3-liter, direct-injection V8 that pumps out 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque. It also features more high-strength steel, offering better crash protection, on top of optional safety items like lane departure warning, forward collision alert and a Safety Alert Seat.
The press release is rather light on police-specific items, aside from the auxiliary battery, which keeps the myriad of electronics in a modern police car running even when the engine isn't. Lightbars, 17-inch steel wheels on Goodyear Eagle RS-A tires and a push bar round out the mods for the Tahoe PPV. The cabin features a revised center console and room for laptop and other equipment mounts.
