Up for sale is my 1974 Monte Carlo.  I bought this car on Ebay over 7 years ago with big plans, but as time has gone by I've put off working on it time and time again and have come to the realization that it's time to let it go.  I am the third owner of the car, it was purchased new in Indiana.  I have the original bill of sale, the build sheet, owners manual and original keys with knockouts.  The car is solid, but has some rust issues that need attention as you can see in the photos.  It looks like it needs some patch panel work, although the paint is original and excellent on the car and it still has a beautiful shine.  The interior is in good condition; the headliner is perfect, but the driver seat has a tear, and the dash board has been cut for a stereo.  Also someone had cut the threads on the shoulder harness portion of the seat belts so only the lap belt is functional.  This can most likely easily be repaired at an upholstery shop.  The 145 horsepower 350 V8 runs and drives but is burning oil. My original plan was to pull the motor and drop in a crate engine and make it a nice cruiser.  The trans shifts fine and is in good working order.  I recently gave the car a tune up (new plugs and wires) and installed a rebuilt carb.  I also replaced a corroded brake line and put new brake pads on the front.  The tail pipe was also recently replaced and the radiator has been replaced by the previous owner.  The original brown Landau top was removed because it was ripped and coming apart beyond repair.  You can find replacement vinyl top kits on Ebay in black or white all day long.  The car does have factory air conditioning but it is not working.  It seems like the compressor isn't getting power.  With a little work this could be a great car for Summer time cruise nights and it's still early in the season.

Recharge Wrap-up: EVs poll well in Portland, Tesla seeks office space

Tue, Aug 5 2014

In a poll of drivers in Portland, more than 80 percent said they would be driving an EV in the next 10 years if they weren't already. The poll was small and not scientific, with just 218 votes cast, but it does reflect a slice of a certain population with changing attitudes toward electric mobility, and 80 percent is an impressive figure. Additionally, 43 percent of respondents planned to have an EV in the next five years, and only 18 percent said they prefer gasoline-powered vehicles. With EVs in many ways repeating the adoption process that hybrids went through a decade ago, the five- or ten-year timeframe for more widespread use seems only natural. Read more at the Portland Business Journal. San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee parks like an idiot, or rather, his security detail does. His Chevrolet Volt has been ticketed for parking six times since he took office. Granted, those street-sweeping signs are tough to keep track of, but his car has been photographed blocking at a bus stop while grabbing a burrito (who hasn't sinned in the name of a delicious burrito?), and was even caught parked in a crosswalk. The tickets were all dismissed. Read more from the SF Gate. Tesla is looking for office space in Silicon Valley. As the electric car company continues to search for a place to build its $4- to $5-billion battery Gigafactory, it also needs some real estate to expand its operations near its Palo Alto home. Tesla has expanded from 3,000 to 6,000 California-based employees since the end of 2012, and plans to add 500 more by the end of the year. It is currently looking for 200,000 to 300,000 square feet of office space close to its Fremont factory, according to sources in the real estate industry.

How easy is it to rebuild a Chevy small block V8?

Sat, Mar 21 2015

Chevrolet's famous small block V8 stands as one of the workhorse engines in American auto history, with its variants going into vehicles from hot rods to pickup trucks. But do you know that you can fully disassemble and completely restore one of these mills in just under four minutes? Well, as long as there's some assistance from time-lapse photography, that is. Hagerty created this short clip showing a dirt-covered small block turning from a frog into a prince. Thankfully, the time-lapse doesn't speed the process up too much, and it's still easy to see how all of the principal parts fit together. With all sorts of sensors and software helping to drive the modern automobile, viewing the internal combustion engine in its purely mechanical form is still fascinating. Related Video:

Car Club USA: Corvette Homecoming

Tue, Mar 17 2015

Car Club USA travels to Bowling Green, KY to document the annual Corvette Homecoming, where owners travel from around the country to reconnect with the manufacturing birthplace of their vehicles. We follow two contestants in the "Show and Shine" competition, for whom the human connection at the event is just as important as showing off their wheels. "That's probably the biggest thing about this weekend," says one attendee, "there's a connection with Corvette people." Of course, the grandeur seeing stunners like a 1959 Corvette convertible, 1966 Big Block and 2002 Z06 is worth the price of admission. Get a firsthand look at the Homecoming experience, and the folks that make it so special. Each Car Club USA episode features a different car club or event from across the US, where passionate owner communities gather to share automotive experiences and embark on incredible adventures. From Main Street cruises to off-road trails, catch all the latest car club activity on Autoblog.
