1970 Monte Carlo Ex Show Car Tire Roasting 396/402 Big Block Th400 12 Bolt on 2040-cars
Seattle, Washington, United States
|
This EX SHOW CAR has been parked outside since 2012. The only reason it was parked then, was because it was bumped lightly in the left-front while the driver was texting. The car has had the same owner for 17 years. This is originally a CA rust-free car. The 396/402 roared to life with fresh gas & a new filter. The motor has a perfect cold-start (no puff of blue or any tick-tick). The motor clearly has a camshaft upgrade from stock and I would be happy to send a video to an email address or smart phone at your request. The pans and trunk are solid. The rear quarters & rocker panels are fantastic. The area around the rear window is perfect. As you can see by the pictures, this car was quite something in it's day (under the truck lid, hood lid, firewall & inner fender wall still sport a mirror paint job). With a Th400, 12 bolt diff & big radiator I believe it to be a factory big block car. If there is evidence to the contrary, please let me know. The steering wheel is a cheap replacement, due to the previous owner losing the key to his club. The areas where the paint flaked off is not rusted-through, it is merely surface corrosion. This is a driving car. What you see is what you will get. Of course it needs everything if you want it to be perfect. This is the same platform as a 1970 Chevelle SS 396. If I didn't already have '67 & '63 chev's in my garage, I would keep it (I'd paint it flat black, put on some Radial TA's & ralleys, tint the glass & roll around in a totally sinister looking car).
If you want me to send you more photos or video, let me know. CORY (206)817-2653 (call or text) If you "lack the stones" or need to "talk to the wife," please get your affairs in order, before you bid on the car. I have been selling cars at the same location in Seattle, since 1989 (over 12,000 sold). I have extensive experience shipping cars all over the country as well as internationally. Email me for a quote. |

Diesel Power finds the ultimate modified oil-burner
Sat, 24 Aug 2013For nine years, Diesel Power magazine has run the Diesel Power Challenge, this year's grindfest being "a week-long torture test that features seven events, nine trucks, 8,000 horsepower, and nearly 15,000 pound-feet of torque." The road to being crowned "the most powerful truck" starts with a dyno run, and then continues through the completion of a CDL-style obstacle course, an eighth-of-a-mile drag race while towing a 10,000-pound trailer, a quarter-mile drag race without a trailer, a fuel economy test in the mountains and finally a sled-pulling test through a 300-foot-long packed-mud pit.
What kind of trucks get into such a fight? Last year's winner, for instance - who upgraded his truck this year to prove he didn't "luck into the win" - drives a 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty with a 6.4-liter Power Stroke V8 upgraded with a custom intake, Elite Diesel triple turbos and a two-stage nitrous system. Another competitor has a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 powered by a 5.9-liter Cummins inline-six, upgraded with Garrett turbos, dual-stage nitrous, a seven-inch exhaust stack and twin fans built into the bed to cool the Sun Coast Omega transmission. The numbers on that truck: 1,255 horsepower, and 2,063 pound-feet of torque at the wheels. Naturally, as the image above might suggest, things don't always end well.
You'll find all five videos covering this years challenge below. A scene in the dyno video sums it all up perfectly: a competitor leaves his nitrous on too long and the crew is treated to some ominous poppings, he leans out the window, throws both hands up and shouts, "Amer'ca!"
2014 Chevrolet Cruze TD fires up its new diesel motor
Thu, 07 Feb 2013Ever since General Motors confirmed plans to produce a diesel-powered Cruze back in 2011, we've been eagerly awaiting its arrival. And as part of the 2013 Chicago Auto Show, Chevrolet has pulled back the cover on its oil-burning compact sedan, set to go on sale in the near future with a starting price of $25,695, not including $810 for destination.
The heart and soul of the Cruze TD (that's its official name) is a 2.0-liter turbo-diesel inline four-cylinder engine rated at 148 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, mated solely to a six-speed automatic transmission. The engine also has an overboost function that will increase torque to 280 lb-ft for up to ten seconds. The full brace of official specs haven't been released, but GM tells us that highway fuel economy will come in at 42 miles per gallon. If that number sounds familiar, it's because the Volkswagen Jetta TDI has the exact same rating. Unlike the Jetta, however, the Cruze TD can run on B20 biodiesel, where as the Volkswagen can only accept B5.
Model-specific changes to this 2014 Cruze TD include an aero kit and unique 17-inch alloy wheels. Inside, there's a full leather interior, and Chevrolet will provide two years of complimentary scheduled maintenance, not to mention a 100,000-mile powertrain warranty.
