THE CHANCE TO OWN A NICELY RESTORED, REAL MONTE CARLO SS 454.
The Monte Carlo SS was the Gentleman's Muscle Car. Available
with many luxury options and creature comforts, yet powered by the vaunted 454
Cu. In., 365 HP LS5 engine coupled to a Turbo 400 automatic transmission. It
was only offered for 2 years in the first generation, 1970 and 1971. Revived
again in 1983-1988 and 2000-2007, but never with the brute performance of the
first generation. The '70 and '71 Monte Carlo SS stand as the lone high
performance Chevrolet luxury cars of the
Muscle Car era. The SS 454 package would
be discontinued after 1971, but the 454 CID V8 engine would remain
optional in Monte Carlos through 1975.
The Monte Carlo endured six design generations. The first
four (1970–72, 1973–77, 1978–80 and 1981–88) were of a rear-wheel-drive,
V8-powered (V6 available beginning in 1978) coupe style, utilizing separate
body-on-frame construction. The later rear-wheel-drive generations bucked the trend
of unit-body construction, along with smaller engines, that became more
prevalent in the early 1980s as automakers downsized their vehicle lines to
meet increasing stringent fuel-economy regulations in the aftermath of two
energy crises that led to gasoline shortages and skyrocketing pump prices in
1973-74 and 1979-80. Despite those trends, the Monte Carlo remained one of the
most popular sellers in GM lineup history.
The Monte Carlo started as a Chevrolet counterpart to the
Pontiac Grand Prix, as conceived by Elliot "Pete" Estes, general
manager of Chevrolet, and Chevrolet's chief stylist, Dave Holls. Though the
Monte Carlo was developed at Chevrolet under the leadership of Pete Estes, it
was formally introduced in September, 1969 by John Z. DeLorean, who succeeded
Estes as Chevrolet's general manager earlier in the year after previously
heading the Pontiac division, where he led the development of the Grand Prix.
From 1972 until the cars end of production, the Monte Carlo
was also a solid success in NASCAR racing. The big (1973–1977) bodied cars were
the dominant body style through 1980. Again, starting in 1983 with the addition
of the SS nose, the Monte Carlo SS became the dominant body style in
NASCAR through the rest of the decade when the car went out of production. Finally,
the car came back to racing in 1995 when Chevy brought the car back into
production. The car brought Chevy
repeated NASCAR Manufacturers Cup awards until it again was discontinued from
production, and was replaced by the Impala for racing.

General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models. The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever. GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.

A class action suit has been proposed against General Motors for a steering problem in the Chevrolet Volt. The plaintiffs claim that a defect can cause the steering to freeze intermittently, and that General Motors either knows or should have known about the problem. The case, filed in New Jersey, also claims that defective parts are replaced with the same or similar parts, which are also defective. The plaintiffs say that claims for the 100-plus-member class exceed $5 million. Read more at Law360 or at BigClassAction. Tesla Motors stock (TSLA) has risen after weeks of losses. It gained 5.4 percent during the week ending December 19, when it closed at $219.29 per share. Since then, it rose slightly more, closing at $222.26 on December 24. Morgan Stanley lowered its target price on Tesla stock from $320 to $290, predicting lower sales on the upcoming Model III than expected before, but still called Tesla a good long-term investment. Analysts at CNBC predicted Tesla to be the best performing stock of 2015. Read more at ETF Daily News. Oslo- and New York-based architecture firm Snohetta has designed a zero-emissions house that also charges an electric car. The ZEB Pilot House, built in Larvik, Norway, uses a solar panel on the roof to power the house, which also provides enough excess energy to charge an EV. To make the most of energy most efficiently, the house uses smart technology to use as much energy as it can once it's harvested. This means one can turn on appliances like the washing machine remotely while the sun is at the optimum angle in the sky - perhaps during mid-day when the residents are at work. The house also uses organic materials and is designed to save as much energy as possible. Read more at Wired.

The drive to lower EV prices continues. GM announced today that the base model 2015 Chevy Spark EV 1LT would get a price cut to $25,995. That's $1,500 less than it used to be but the bigger news might be the lowered lease price. Instead of $199 a month, all that Chevy is asking for to get you into an all-electric Spark now is $139 a month (39 months, with no money due at signing), down from the 36-month, $199-a-month lease cost with a $999 down payment. Sadly, the number of states where the Spark EV can be bought is almost as small as the lease payment: the car is available only in California, Oregon and Maryland (well, Maryland won't be ready until the summer). GM is doing more than just lowering the MSRP. On top of the federal and state tax incentives available, GM is offering bonus cash in all three states ($1,000 in California, $1,200 in Maryland, and $3,500 in Oregon). If you're wondering why those numbers vary so much, take a look at the already-available state EV incentives in play: California offers $2,500 and Maryland $2,300. Somehow, they all balance out. If you do some addition with the $7,500 federal tax credit, you see that the Spark EV can be had for $11,000 off the MSRP no matter where you buy. If you qualify for everything, $14,995 is a darn good deal for an EV, especially one as fun as the Spark. Related Video: 2015 Chevrolet Spark EV Repriced to Offer Greater Value As low as $14,995 after full federal and state tax credits and Chevrolet Bonus Cash 2015-04-14 DETROIT – Chevrolet announced today Spark EV 1LT's new manufacturer's suggested retail price would start at $25,995. Depending on an individual's tax situation, the Spark EV is eligible for federal tax credit up to $7,500. "Chevrolet is committed to making EV driving more accessible, affordable and fun" said Steve Majoros, director of Chevrolet Car and Crossover Marketing. "The Spark EV is already the most efficient – and one of the most affordable – EVs you can buy. 2015 Spark EV customers will benefit from an impressive blend of technology, capability and low cost of ownership, now at an even more impressive price." California and Maryland Spark EV owners may also qualify for a $2,500 California state rebate or $2,300 Maryland excise tax exemption. Additional Chevrolet bonus cash is also available: $1,000 in California, $1,200 in Maryland, and $3,500 in Oregon. After full federal and state tax credits and Chevrolet bonus cash, the Spark EV could be as low as $14,995.
