Up for sale is my restored, National show winning 1970 Monte Carlo by Chevrolet. This particular Monte Carlo was built in the Flint, Michigan plant. Having said that, there are no build sheets since that plant had strict rules when it came to placing build sheets in vehicles. I found this out from the vice president of the First Generation Monte Carlo Club. Something else that makes this car unique, is the fact 1970 was the first year for the Monte Carlo. You will be hard pressed to find a first generation Monte Carlo in this condition. I am open to certain trades **No Motorcycles**, and my price is negotiable. This Monte Carlo is a factory A/C car but is not hooked up since it was not built to be a daily driven car. Along with the car comes the owners manual in A-1 shape, the 1970 Chevy Manufacturer's Specs in a 3 ring binder, the original 1970 Monte Carlo dealer sales brochure, and a bunch of Hot Wheels 1970 Monte Carlos that are still in the packaging and are painted just like mine. Don't miss out on an opportunity to own a true 70s muscle car, ready for the car cruise season. I have all the reciepts for the work I had done since I have owned it. This car can be driven anywhere, as I took it to Carlisle June 22-24th and put 500 miles on it in one weekend, with zero problems. I have noticed that it may need a new oil pan gasket since the one on it is cork and has started to leak a little. I didn't put the cork one on, and since I don't have access to a lift yet I haven't changed it out. I never trailer this car but when I take it on long trips I do cover the front with blue painter's tape to prevent stone chips as much as possible. (Blue painter's tape doesn't leave a sticky residue) I currently have a PA Antique plate on the car which can go with it. The last few pictures of the car are from 1990 when it was purchased from the original owner and 1999 when it was painted a second time with the racing stripes. I also have a ton more pictures of the restoration. If you want to see them please contact me and I will email them over. This Monte Carlo was originally white. If you have any questions I can be reached at 4-1-2-two-six-six-0-5-6-2. I do work full-time during the week so if I don't answer, leave a message and I will get back to you. The car is being sold as-is and has been described in greatest of detail to my knowledge above. I welcome anyone to come see the car or have a representative inspect it for you. Please remember you are bidding to buy and I FULLY expect the winning bidder to fulfill their eBay contract. You are not bidding to hold, inspect, or then come test drive the vehicle, but you may do this before the auction closes. I require a $2000 NON REFUNDABLE deposit within 48 hours of the auction close, PayPal preferred. Buyer is responsible for shipping.

Seeing the Detroit Auto Show via drone
Sun, Jan 18 2015Seeing the Chevrolet display at the Detroit Auto Show is worth doing this year, and not just because of the new Corvette Z06, Volt and Bolt concept. In order to attract the new kids, The Bowtie has gone what the old kids used to call "buck wild" with their show stand at Cobo Hall. A Corvette Z06, Trax, and Colorado are parked along a central aisle, called Mainstreet, at the end of which is a 20-foot-tall, 73-foot long transparent screen lording over the new Volt. Elsewhere are five more 20-foot-tall screens broadcasting nine stories today's Chevrolet wants to tell about its vehicles, from performance to belief in the power of play to its 4G LTE-equipped OnStar telematics service. Then there are the social media and virtual reality safety installations, the community presentations and more. Chevrolet flew a drone through the stand to show off what it's doing, which is has replaced eye-level video as the next best thing to being there. You can check it out in the video above.
Chevy Volt gets customer satisfaction 'recall' for rear hatch issue *UPDATE*
Mon, Jan 26 2015Last week, General Motors has issued a "Customer Satisfaction program" for some 2011-2015 model year Chevrolet Volts to fix the manual rear lift gate not working as appropriate. According to Volt owner posts on Facebook, the problem manifests itself by the hatch not opening up all the way (sometimes worse in the cold) with some people bumping their heads. Dealers will replace the lift gate struts as part of the program. Some drivers were notified through the vehicle's OnStar system that there is a problem. GM has not yet said how many Volts are affected. *UPDATE* This program is for all 2011-2015 model year Volts. Chevrolet spokesperson Michelle Malcho told AutoblogGreen that, "This is not a recall, so there won't be any formal information posted on the GM website." The fixes will be free to affected Volt owners. Some 2010-2015 Cadillac SRX vehicles are also affected by the same problem and will also be fixed.

How a Texas Hyundai dealer became the Chevy SSR king
Tue, Apr 21 2015The SSR isn't one of the most appreciated vehicles in Chevy's long history. With a style amalgamating the look of a vintage hotrod, convertible and a pickup, it's really serving a niche market right from the start. However, a Hyundai dealer in Texas has turned selling the cult models into a booming business and has become the de facto king of the quirky truck. According to Automotive News, Paul Peebles runs North Freeway Hyundai in Spring, TX, but he's better known in the Chevy SSR community the premiere seller of the weird model through his used car network. The odd venture started in 2010 when Peebles wanted to boost his pre-owned business and bought several sporty vehicles. Among them were five SSRs, and he threw a cookout for owners to get the word out. Things just ballooned from there. Since then, Peebles' used car dealer has had a hand in 447 SSR transactions, and some of those are the same truck coming back to sell again. With just over 24,000 of them out there, that works about to two percent of the model's production moving through just one business. The dealership also sponsors an SSR owners' forum online. Being a major broker for a niche model also means that Peebles often gets rare examples of the SSR, including some of the Indianapolis 500 pace car versions, according to Automotive News. We even saw a bizarre one last year when the business put this shark-inspired truck on eBay Motors. The whole thing also works out well for Peebles' Hyundai business. Specializing in SSRs brings other performance models in as trade-ins, and they can draw folks to the lot to check out the collection. Then, maybe visitors can take a look at a Sonata, too.
