Number of Cylinders: 8

1982 Monte Carlo purchased on eBay in 2010 from North Carolina owner. Previous owner drag raced the car; installed rebuilt (bored over) Chevy 350 motor and TH350 trans, air bags on rear suspension, removed vinyl from top, painted car Burple (blue/purple candy). Car has less than 2,000 miles on rebuilt engine. Original car mileage unknown (suspected 110,000 or so).
Since purchasing the car I have made numerous improvements including Corbeau Wide Sport seat (driver) and Summit Racing seat (passenger), AutoMeter gauges, new carpet, CD player, speakers, amplifier. Spectre Cold Air Intake system, Hurst lock-out Hammer shifter, new exhaust, radiator and hoses, front shocks, 20 inch chrome wheels, Harwood fiberglass hood (still black).
Car runs and drives fantastic. Needs new carburater installed (new Holley 4-barrel carb included with car), transmission has slow leak but functions completely; needs interior work to complete transition from maroon to black. Car has no catalytic converter so will NOT pass emissions (check your state for whether 1982 cars require emissions tests; IL does not). Burple paint is not in good shape; needs cut and buff or refinishing. Looks good from a distance but not close up.
This car is my dream project, but a recent job change requires me to get something more practical for city driving.
Complete list of improvements available by request.

UAW to vote on strike at Kentucky Corvette plant
Tue, 08 Apr 2014The current wait time for a new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is well, not short. With word of a strike at the Bowling Green, KY factory responsible for seventh-generation sports car, though, that wait time could end up growing substantially.
Now, a strike is still a ways off. UAW Local 2164, which represents the 800 workers responsible for screwing the Corvette together, is set to vote on authorizing a strike today, but even if the employees give the action a go, it's far from a sure thing. According to The Tennessean, both regional and national union officials would need to put their stamp of approval on strike action.
"The membership has to vote to strike, but it's just a step in the process," said Gary Casteel, the UAW's Region 8 director and one of the people that would need to authorize a strike action. Casteel told The Tennessean, "It's purely a local situation, though. They are having some issues with the local management."
GM 6.2L V8 claims most powerful light-duty truck engine title
Thu, 12 Sep 2013General Motors has officially captured the horsepower crown for mainstream pickup trucks with its 6.2-liter V8. The big mill, available in both the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, comes to market with 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, handily outdoing its two cross-town competitors, Ram (5.7-liter V8, 395 ponies and 407 lb-ft) and Ford (6.2-liter V8, 411 hp and 434 lb-ft).
The new GM 6.2 will take a bit of an investment, though. Those that want the extra thrust will need to go with either the LTZ or High Country trims from the Chevy, or the SLT and Denali trims from GMC, which are the two highest trim levels for the respective vehicles. Trim levels aside, if you're in the business of towing, GM has you covered. Optioned with the 6.2-liter V8 and the Max Trailering Package, owners will be able to pull 12,000 pounds, a hugely impressive figure.
We still aren't certain as to what sort of economy the new engine will get, but it'll probably be a bad bet for the fuel conscious. As for availability, expect to see the 6.2-liter trucks in showrooms later in the fall.
