1971 Monte Carlo Ss454 Z20. One Of 1919 Built. Same Owner For Last 26 Years. on 2040-cars
Chicago, Illinois, United States
1971 Monte Carlo SS454 Z20 LS5 engine with M40 Turbo 400 transmission, F41 front suspension,12 bolt 3:31 posi rear end. Has load level control (compressor not on car but I do have it), factory a/c, power steering, power brakes, bucket seats with console and factory tach and guage package. I've owned this car since 1988 and it has been my summer cruise night car over the years and it has been a very nice driver but it's time to let it go. Since I have owned the I replaced the CE counter engine with a correct CPD code LS5 engine that has been rebuilt and has less than a 1000 miles on it. The engine in the car is correctly dated to this car and was from a 1971 Chevelle SS454 LS5 car which was built the same week as my car. I have the protecto-plate from that car (see pics. both Protecto plates side by side) and all the components from the CE engine match this engine except the short block. The block in this car is now the correct 3963512 block and the CE was a 3999289 block. I also have most of all the service records for this car along with the original window sticker,build sheet,protecto-plate,owners manual and the original brochure the original owner picked the options for the car when buying new. The car was bought here in Elmhust Illinois at Tom Edwards Chevrolet and was Ziebarted from new. The prvious owner was a snow bird so the car went between Illinois and Texas. The car is very solid however when the car was repainted in 1985 it was prepped poorly and the paint is checked and cracked. The car looks good from 10 feet until you get up close therefore the car will need to be stripped and repainted. The good is you can do this at your own pace. The car is totally ready to drive. The bright work on the car is very nice and you will not have to do any panel replacement. The vinyl top has been replaced and at that time the front and rear glass was pulled and resealed. The back glass on the car leaked so there is some minor rust issues behind the rear wheels but a patch will resolve it. No needed quarter replacement. Overall a very nice solid luxury sport muscle car that you can drive and enjoy and take it to the next level. This is a true Z20 SS454 Monte Carlo Super Sport. Not something someone tossed emblems on to claim it a SS. See NADA Guide below and you will see the opening bid is below average retail. I will accept a $500.00 deposit through Paypal but not the entire payment. All funds for balance will have to be cleared before car and title are released to new owner. NO EXCEPTIONS! If you have any questions please call me at 773 744 5998.Thank you. http://www.nadaguides.com/Classic-Cars/1971/Chevrolet/Monte-Carlo-Super-Sport/2-Door-Hardtop/Values |

A Chevy Camaro hybrid? That's what EcoCAR3 could bring
Fri, Apr 10 2015Figuring out a way for a hybrid powertrain to co-exist with the performance expectations of a classic American muscle car is a challenge that could vex that most experienced of automotive engineers. It's a challenge, in fact, being handed to a bunch of college students. Over the next four years, students from 16 North American colleges and universities will attempt to wring fuel efficiency from a 2016 Chevy Camaro as part of EcoCAR3, an advanced-vehicle technology competition sponsored by the Department of Energy, General Motors and others. They'll be attempting to use hybrid or plug-in hybrid technology while not sacrificing the performance of the Camaro, which was selected in part because the current model achieves just 17 miles per gallon in city driving and 28 MPGs on the highway, per EPA numbers. Students will get the latest version of the vehicle to work on, one that is expected to be unveiled next month on Belle Isle in Detroit. "If we still want to produce V8 Camaros, we're going to have to look at alternative methods of propulsion," said Al Oppenheiser, the chief engineer on the Camaro. "So the ideas that these college teams come up with could very easily be adapted to a car like the Camaro." Unlike similar competitions that reward fuel efficiency in vehicles, EcoCAR seeks those gains while emphasizing cost and consumer acceptance of these vehicles. The cars shouldn't look like experiments; they should look like everyday vehicles on the road. Previous competitions have allowed the teams to use whatever powertrain they desired. This time, EcoCAR officials designed the competition to concentrate on hybrid, hybrid-electric and diesel options. Competitors won't have the option of using hydrogen fuel cells as they have in the past. Last year, a team from Colorado State built a vehicle that contained both hydrogen and electric power sources. This year's limit is a curious choice, as some automakers such as Toyota have placed heavy bets on fuel cells in recent years. General Motors also runs a fuel-cell program. With the focus on cost and practicality, however, the program officials wanted to narrow the framework of the contest. "We always have some good decisions on what to make within the scope or out of scope," said Jim Kolhoff, global director of software engineering for General Motors.
GM to restore legendary Corvette damaged in sinkhole accident
Fri, Dec 5 2014Car lover's hearts' sank when they saw images of bent and destroyed classic Corvettes at the bottom of a sinkhole last February after the floor of the National Corvette Museum gave way. General Motors announced Wednesday it would restore the one millionth Corvette ever produced to its former glory. The 1992 convertible was heavily damaged when a 40-foot deep sinkhole opened beneath a bevy of rare cars at the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Since then, GM has been slowly restoring the classic cars, though five of the eight that caught in the sinkhole were determined to be too damaged to repair. This November, the 2009 Corvette ZR1 Blue Devil was the first car to be returned in mint condition to the Museum, according to Autoblog. It suffered significant damage but was still drivable after being pulled out of the debris. The one millionth Corvette is still in bad shape. The automaker is estimating six months worth of work to restore the car, which sustained paint scratches, rear-suspension damage and a mangled front fender.

Leno drives Ringbrothers' latest, 1966 Chevy Chevelle Recoil
Tue, Mar 3 2015Jay Leno has been checking out quite a few older rides in his garage as of late, but has mixed things up a little this week. Ringbrothers took home an award at the 2014 SEMA Show for the 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle it named Recoil, and now the car has proven it can do more than just look good on Jay Leno's Garage. While the latest guest might look vintage, underneath those classic lines is a thoroughly modern muscle car sporting a claimed 980 horsepower. The heart of this beast is a supercharged LS7 V8 from Wegner Motorsports and a six-speed Tremec manual gearbox. Even with so much power, it can still run on 91-octane pump gas, and when Jay gets on the throttle the result is a wall of sound from the wailing supercharger. Despite the muscle, the Recoil doesn't really scream about its performance aesthetically. The color is a surprisingly plain beige, but the carbon fiber touches and side exhaust certainly indicate that there's something special here. The owner's sole request for the car was to include metal seats, and Ringbrothers provided them with a few bits of leather offering a touch of comfort. After checking the Recoil out from stem to stern, Leno finally gets behind the wheel and treats our ears to pull after pull from that big, supercharged V8.
