Up for bid is a clean rust free 1986 Monte Carlo SS.  I picked this car up a couple of weeks ago and finished up some loose ends on it and am ready to sell.  From what I was told, this is a three owner car that was given a light restoration last winter after spending many years in storage.  The paint job is decent for an amateur, I'd rate it a 6 or 7 out of 10.  The doors are a bit wavy and someone got carried away with the filler on the insides.  The rest of the body is very solid but has dings and waves here and there.

Interior has some fade and a crack or two on the dash pad, but overall in good original condition and I just installed a brand new headliner and a used Alpine CD player.  All gauges  and lights work.

Brakes and suspension have been freshened up, the front was lowered slightly for a better stance.  Exhaust is new and has Flowmasters (or knock offs, not sure) and sounds great.  Engine is stock accept for chrome, runs great, 4 barrel carb.  Has Air conditioning but I don't know if it works, heat works great  Transmission is automatic with overdrive.  Rear end ratio unknown, likely stock, and is open, not posi.

Wheels are 15" GM Rally's, tires are 235 60 R15 with lots of tread.

This is a great running and driving car and most states should be old enough for classic registration and insurance, way cheaper than standard.

Please call or text 269 270 8188 with and questions or email me through eBay.  I'm not a dealer, just a guy who digs for old cars and gets them ready for the next guy.

I'VE DESCRIBED THIS CAR AS HONESTLY AS POSSIBLE, IT'S 27 YEARS OLD AND BEING SOLD AS-IS NO WARRANTY OR RETURNS

$250 DEPOSIT DUE WITHIN 48 HOURS OF AUCTION END.  ALL NEW EBAYERS OR ZERO FEEDBACK PLEASE CONTACT ME BEFORE BIDDING,,,,,,,,,THANKS

Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war

Sun, 30 Dec 2012

A couple weeks ago, we watched a Chevrolet Silverado get dominated by a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty in a fullsize pickup tug-of-war, but in that truck's defense, Chevy's Vortec gas engine was no match for the torquey Cummins turbo diesel. For our next round of vehicular tug-of-war, a Duramax-powered Silverado HD takes on Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.
Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video, with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backwards. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.
It just goes to show, though, that big tires, bolt-on fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect when the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past?

Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too

Fri, 07 Dec 2012

We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.

Watch this time-lapse build of the Chevy SS for NASCAR

Fri, 08 Feb 2013

There's only about a week left until we get our first look at the production version of the 2014 Chevrolet SS sedan, but Chevrolet NASCAR teams have been looking at the race version of the car all winter. Autoweek has posted a really neat time-lapse video showing just a portion of what it takes to build one of NASCAR's new Gen6 stock cars.
Though the video is quite brief, it does show almost the entire build process starting with just the car's nose, and it gives us a good look at how integral the template is to the final product. As a bonus, Hendrick Motorsports also provided some videos showing two of its teams performing pit stop tests over the winter. The second video shows some of the more detailed aspects of the racecar's rear end, including the stock-looking trunk cutout and a newly mandated rear bumper extension that will be used on super speedways like Daytona and Talladega.
To see what Team Chevy has been up to all off-season, check out all three videos posted after the jump.
