1988 Monte Carlo LS
I have owned this car since 1998. It has never been driven in winter weather, always stored. It is 99% rust free. There were a couple of rust spots the size of a quarter or smaller that were cut out and replaced with new metal.It was painted 10 years ago and is not look the best anymore. Looks good from 20 feet. The stainless LS trim was taken off and the mounting studs cut off. The trim stud area was given no more work and is in primer. There was also a defect on the roof that was sanded out and also is in primer. The front window trim was painted black and is pealing in spots. I still have all of the stainless ls trim it is all in good shape except 1 piece and is painted black. The hood is fiberglass has original hinges with no springs and pins in front. The front and rear bumper look good and have no tears. There are no large dents on the car. The paint may be scratched chips here and their.
The interior is not completely in the car. I am missing the headliner panel but have all other pieces to go with. The front seats are gray buckets that are in good shape. The frond driver is torn but it is not into the foam pad. I was going to get new covers to match the blue interior. The back seat is also in good condition with no tears. The carpet is worn out. The dash pad is in excelent condition with no holes or cracks and has never had anything screwed to it (like how many screw extra gauges to them). Door panels are redone and look good. Factory tachometer, 85 mph speedo (works but unaccurate wrong gear in trans sender), volts ,fuel ,water , all work except oil (needs sending unit put back in). I have added a three pack oil water temp where the radio was. I also have a trans temp gauge. The center council is customized with a b&m shifter and switches for ign, water pump, fuel pump, electric fans, electric water pump, and air ride pump housed under the center council door. The air ride switches and gauges are also in the center council. Power windows. The car was professional rewired and the fuse block is behind the glove box. The glove box is a door only for better access.

Indian tuner turns Chevy Optra into Mustang 'Eleanor' replica
Fri, 03 Aug 2012If you are a big fan of automotive oddities, this may come as a little treat. If you are a Shelby or Mustang diehard, prepare to have your sensibilities violated.
The master fabricators at BigDaddyCustoms are the minds behind what you see above. At first, it appears to be a slightly misshapen custom Mustang, modeled after "Eleanor" from Gone In 60 Seconds, but upon further examination, something appears to be amiss. In fact, the custom shop, based in India, has created an Eleanor replica grafted upon a lowly Chevrolet Optra. While it may take a second for the Optra to ring a bell, you should recognize its badge-engineered sibling, the Daewoo Lacetti, used on Top Gear.
We don't know what star would opt for the Reasonably Priced Car in Shelby's clothing, but it's clearly someone more concerned with the aesthetic than the performance credentials of this automotive mash-up.
Corvette Stingray Shooting Brake under consideration by Callaway [w/poll]
Mon, 18 Mar 2013Callaway has released a few renderings of a design study for a shooting brake version of the C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. The company says it wants to create a long-roof version of America's sports car to offer buyers more interior room and a vehicle with "unique style." The company says it will use structural carbon fiber for the new body bits, which suggests the conversion shouldn't add too much more weight to the Corvette. Along with a few mechanical tweaks, the Callaway Corvette Stingray AeroWagon could breeze past the 200 miles per hour barrier.
Provided that they get enough interest, Callaway estimates they will be able to effect the changes on the Chevrolet for around $15,000, and says the conversion work should be available through its network of dealers. You can check out the brief press release below for more information, or head over to the Callaway site to plunk down a deposit - but before you do, we want to know... do you find this C7 wagon interesting?

Kurt Busch to shake and bake (again) in Ricky Bobby car at Talladega
Sat, 19 Oct 2013Kurt Busch will channel Ricky Bobby for another NASCAR race, this time driving a Wonder-sponsored Chevrolet SS, in this weekend's Camping World RV Sales 500 at the Talladega Motor Speedway. Unlike past tie-ins, though, there's actually an element of sponsorship here (the "Me" car was done when Busch was running on a team without sponsorship).
It was arranged by Flower Foods, the new owner of the Wonder brand. Wonder was part of the bankrupt Hostess company, which temporarily exited the US market 2012, and set off the Great Twinkie Shortage.
Busch has made something of a habit of channeling characters from famous racing movies, most recently running Tom Cruise's City Chevrolet livery from Days of Thunder in a Nationwide Series race earlier this year. Busch kicked off his movie-inspired antics, though, at Talladega in 2012, when he raced El Diablo's ("It's like... Spanish for like a fighting chicken") "Me" car complete with a cougar on the hood. He even went so far as to channel the lovable idiot that is Ricky Bobby during the race, dropping a few catchphrases about macchiatos and slingshots.
