Chevrolet Monte Carlo Base Model on 2040-cars
Milton Freewater, Oregon, United States
This beautiful 1970 Monte Carlo has been assembled over the course of several years, with much attention to detail and built to be driven on a regular basis. The body is free of squeaks and rattles, the window glass is adjusted so there is virtually no wind noise while driving, and the alignment allows fantastic handling with zero tire wear. The cowl hood is all steel with a reinforcement along both sides, full length, and a support bracket to eliminate the flutter along the top edge of the opening associated with high speed when drag racing. The tires are all perfectly balanced so there is no vibrations at or above freeway speeds. There is zero curb rash on any of the wheels. The interior is incredibly comfortable with an extra 1/2" layer of high density foam backing built into the upholstery. The front seat back frames were modified to eliminate the headrest, without simply removing them and laying the fabric over the top of the opening. The seat belts are custom made with aircraft style buckles, DOT approved, and color match is spot on. The beauty has the look and the sound to turn heads wherever you go, and it will run consistent at the track on pump 91 octane fuel run after run with absolutely no issues. The motor had a very recent tune up with new spark plugs, new plug wires custom fit to run under the headers and across the back of the motor, to the HEI distributor with MSD 6AL spark box. This unit has a rev limiter featured as well. The transmission is a TH350 with a Hughes torque converter and a Hughes deep cast aluminum pan as well. The pan has a drain plug, but the fluid and filter are changed regularly. The rear axle is a BOP 10 bolt, with 3.73:1 gears on an Auburn posi unit. It hooks up straight and makes no noise. The gears are very quiet as are the bearings. Wheels are 15 X 8 in the rear, 15 X 3.5 front. Tires are Mickey Thompson 295-65-15 and Firestone 215-75-15. Both sets have more than 70% tread remaining.

Expect greater differentiation in GM's next-generation SUVs
Thu, 03 Jan 2013General Motors says its next-generation Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban, GMC Yukon and Cadillac Escalade models will offer shoppers improved interior differentiation. Car and Driver recently caught up with Chris Hilts, GM's creative manager of interior design, who said that the cabins will all feature unique instrument panels, consoles, center stacks and switchgear moving forward. Apparently GM is now aware that consumers may be bothered by the fact that today's $85,000 Escalade has effectively the same cabin as a $45,000 Tahoe. Hilts says SUV buyers want more refinement than their pickup purchasing counterparts - and those same buyers also want their SUVs to have more exterior differentiation between the company's Silverado and Sierra pickup lines. Shocking.
That all sounds good to us, but we've heard this song and dance before. GM made big waves about how different the new-for-2013 Silverado and Sierra would look from each other, but judging by what we've seen so far, GM's stylists are painting in shades rather than with the full spectrum.

These cars are headed to the Great Crusher In The Sky
Fri, 24 Aug 2012It happens every year. We bid adieu to some cars and trucks that will be missed, and say good riddance to others wondering how they stayed around so long. Whether they're being killed off for slow sales or due to a new product coming along to replace them, the list of vehicles being discontinued after 2012 is surprisingly long and diverse.
CNN Money has compiled a list of departing vehicles, to which we've added a few more of our own. In the slow sales column, cars like the Lexus HS 250h, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and the full Maybach lineup appear, while the Ford Escape Hybrid, Mazda CX-7 and Hyundai Veracruz are all having their gaps filled with more modern and more fuel-efficient alternatives. Obvious exceptions to the rule include models that still sell in decent numbers like the Jeep Liberty and the Chrysler Town & Country (which will eventually be replaced by a crossover-like vehicle).

Chevy SS prototype spotted wearing Pontiac G8 clothes
Tue, 28 Aug 2012
Do not adjust your computer screen, you are not seeing the rebirth of the Pontiac brand. General Motors has chosen to use a G8 to disguise a test mule for the latest prototype of the forthcoming Chevrolet SS. The G8 was closely related to the Holden Commodore and Vauxhall VXR, the platform upon which the new Chevrolet performance model will be based. It should come as little surprise, then, that GM has opted to use the cladding from the former G8.
Thought the front clip of this mule is pure Pontiac, note the vents immediately behind the front wheel. That is a distinctive design hallmark of the Vauxhall VXR. Also note that this vehicle is right-hand drive, as the Holden and its Chevy counterpart will be very closely related. That likely includes potential drivetrains. The spy photos of this mule also reveal very wide rear tires, and rear wheels that do not match the fronts.
