1988 Monte Carlo SS - This is the last year for this body style. Only 16,204 SS Monte Carlo's were produced in this very low production year making it rare and collectible. It would be save to say that less than half of them are still around today. Unlike the Cameros, Novas, Mustangs and Challengers, this is a full frame car like the early Chevelles, Pontiac GTOs, Buick Grand Sports, Dodge RTs and Plymouth GTXs. Full frame cars have alot less body roll and body flex which gives them much better road manners like handing curves better and having better straight line performance. This car also weighs in at 3,239 pounds which alot less than the Mustangs, Cameros and Challengers of today with the same equipment even though they are not full frame cars. This car was sold to me as being original miles and an original car other than normal wear items being replaced. In my thirty plus years in paint and auto mechanics, I have found no reason to think this is untrue. It is in very nice original condition. The 25 year old paint still has alot of shine but has a few door dings and scratches, has some fading on top of hood and trunk, but looks good at 10 feet. Car was factory undercoated. It has no rust in the body or under the car. Floor pans, frame, trunk are all in excellent condition. One thing about original paint is tha you get to see what you're getting without it being covered up. This car has alot of options: 305HO engine, overdrive transmission, 3:73 positive trac rear end, power windows, power locks, cruise control, tilt wheel, air conditioning, power steering, power disc brakes, power trunk release, rear window defrost, right and left mirror adjust, bucket seats, console, automatic transmission in the floor, floor mats, full gauge package, AM/FM high powered JVC CD player. (I have the original Delco AM/FM cassette, and no mods were made so you can put this right back in). Also has Optional factory15 inch aluminum spoke wheels and third brake light in rear window. The interior is in very nice shape - shows some wear - but is nice. Unlike most of these cars, the dash is not cracked and is in excellent shape. And, yes, everything works as it should. Car is now showing 86,600 miles which, as I indicated earlier was sold to me as original miles. If you have never driven one of these Monte Carlos with the 305HO engine combination, you are in for a pleasant surprise. It will spin the tires easily and bark the tires in second. It also gets 20+ miles per gallon on the highway. Alot of money has been spent on this car in the last year: a new battery, new tires, new brakes, new wheel center caps, a new Walker factory replacement exhaust system. This is the original factory type consisting of the catalytic converter, the Y pipe, mufflers and tail pipes. Any Questions? Call 660-665-4571 after 5:00 PM CDT.

2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible gives us a couple of looks
Sat, 02 Mar 2013Put away your pixel paintbrushes, kids. Pack up your Photoshop. This is the real-deal 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible in its first official images. The droptop Chevrolet will roll into the bright lights of the Palexpo exhibition at next week's Geneva Motor Show, a four-wheeled statement of intent that General Motors is serious about taking its Corvette franchise global.
Chevy isn't providing anything in the way of further details with these two shots, but we've learned at least a couple of things about the car shown here. First off, the example seen in these images is fitted with the optional Z51 Performance Package - something that isn't immediately evident because there's no sign of the coupe model's prominent ductwork on its rear haunches. In order to accommodate the power folding hard tonneau cover, the vents that feed the transmission and differential coolers have been relocated to the underside of the car. The dark paint color on this example also does a good job of muting the contrasting black front fender vents and hood opening - Z51-spec design details that have proven to be somewhat controversial.
One other thing to note: These two shots also display the Stingray wearing different alloy wheels than the split five-spoke design shown at the hardtop's Detroit Auto Show unveiling in January. The simpler, thin five-spoke wheels should do a good job of showing off the Z51's upgraded brakes, and they'll be optional on the coupe as well.
Chevy Corvette Stingray "colorizer" lets you chase the rainbow
Thu, 14 Feb 2013After you've convinced your better half to let you buy a new Corvette, then comes the hard part... actually figuring out which 'Vette you want. While Chevrolet has yet to release the official configurator for the 2014 Corvette Stingray, it did give us something else to kill some time playing around with.
The C7 Corvette "colorizer" recently went online, and it lets you look at the car in all of its available colors and wheel options from four different angles so that when this car does go on sale, you know exactly which one you want. It includes the Corvette's full pallet of colors including Torch Red, Laguna Blue and the hue you see above, Velocity Yellow. Toss in the black wheels, and we're sold. If you have some time this afternoon, be sure to check it out the Corvette colorizer for yourself, and even if you don't have the time, we've put together a gallery with all of the possible color combinations.
GM looks to combat high theft rates on SUVs with added tech
Tue, 24 Dec 2013The Cadillac Escalade has been at or near the top of most-stolen and insurance-loss lists for more than seven years, until it dropped to number six earlier this year. In 2011 it was fitted with a host of new security features to address its easy-to-override features and that has brought the number of thefts down, but when eight of the ten most stolen rides are large SUVs from General Motors, no one will argue that something else needs to be done.
Thus, GM has fitted this same theft-deterring tech to the 2015 Suburban, Tahoe and Yukon. The Suburban and Tahoe will get the steering lock that the Escalade and Yukon already get, plus bolted-down third-row seats to deter thefts like this, stronger door lock cylinders and shields, and side-cut keys to inhibit picking.
Additional security measures in a Theft Protection Package can be purchased for $395, consisting of sensors on the greenhouse glass and interior, an incline/tilt sensor and added "key control systems" to make it more difficult for the men in black balaclavas to steal what you bought.
