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  The tail pipe was also recently replaced and the radiator has been replaced by the previous owner.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.

Chevy monitors drivers' biometrics while experiencing new Corvette Stingray

Fri, 25 Oct 2013

We tell you about what a car is like to drive every day, remarking on throttle response, steering weight and feedback, squat, dive, brake fade and a dozen or more other factors of performance. What we can't tell you, though, is what the car does to us - how its performance impacts us, physically. That's what makes this video series from Chevrolet so darn cool.
The Bow-Tie brand rented out Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch, got several (very) different individuals together, strapped a bunch of sensors to their bodies to record biometric data ranging from heart rate to respiration to brain activity, and then handed them keys to the new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. The results are explained in a series of videos, devoted to each driver, showing how different people react to the Corvette's performance.
If, like your author, you're a nerd for medical science, this is going to be a fascinating set of videos. If not, it's still pretty cool to see how the body of someone with racing experience, like Gran Turismo creator Kazunori Yamauchi, reacts to tracking a car like the Corvette Stingray compared to the owner of legendary Detroit barbecue joint, Slows BBQ. Take a look below for all six videos from the series, or hop over to the Corvette Vimeo channel for the interactive experience, where you can see all the different metrics.

2014 Chevrolet Corvette C7 Convertible offers a few more views before reveal

Mon, 04 Mar 2013

Over the weekend, Chevrolet released its first images of the new 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible. Now, ahead of the droptop's official introduction tomorrow at the Geneva Motor Show, the automaker has given us a few more shots of the softop C7 showing off the car's rump albeit from a high, strategically positioned angle.
From this angle, it's hard to get a sense for how long and flat the decklid really is, but we can easily see that, like the rest of the C7's design, the new convertible's decklid and tonneau cover are far more detailed than the current car. We also get a better look at the rear haunches sans brake vents, which have apparently been moved to underneath the car in order to accommodate the top's hard cover.
As for the overall styling of the C7 convertible, with the top erected, we get some idea of what a coupe design (as opposed to the Stingray's fastback shape) would look like on this car. The C5 Corvette most recently had a coupe model that did away with the large glass hatchback, and we recently reported on a low-cost "coupe" model potentially being added to the C7's repertoire.
